Hello lover…
How stoked was I to find this exact same piece in a thrift store down the street, for $90? Brass is in great condition, all glass shelves intact!
Prior to purchasing, I came home to show husband my find compared to pricey versions like those on 1stdibs. Understandably, he was a little frightened of its fabulousness (as my friend said, “it’s not for everyone,” LOL). Lo and behold, found the same one on ModFruGal.com. I looked around on her site more, and was so impressed with what she has done with her own home, I had to share! She does her legwork, going to flea markets and estate sales, and really finds some beauts to restore. Be sure to check out her “before” pictures from the remodel, and her DIY furniture projects…you’ll be impressed too!
Her DIY “tush cush” project:
Her refurbished faux lacquered table project:
I’ll definitely be doing her “cola and Noxon” treatment to my new étagère to shine it up properly.
And be on the lookout for a few new photos once I get this stunner in my office and properly styled!
p.s. Those slits on the bottom shelf…for RECORDS…heh heh…
Oh- thank you! I stumbled upon her site months ago, and then when I wanted to reference something I had seen there later on, I couldn’t find her again. This is exciting.
AND what a GREAT find! Love those brass pieces.
Oh good, glad I could help you rediscover her!
Between the artwork and the tolix I am utterly smitten.
… and what a find for you!! So glad the hubs went for it. Cannot wait to see how you style it. I have no doubt it will look stunning.
oh and PS I have started a record collection. I have about 30. But NO record player yet. LOL. Sad, quiet records!
I LOVE that you have a record collection! You must spill your faves.
Oh, I love it and I love her style! What a great deal – I love it when I find something like that. I cannot WAIT to see it in your house! Please do it today and send a million pics….

It really seems like a lot of work, but I would think well worth it. I do really love the eBay lamps we refurbished, and it wasn’t all that hard or expensive to do!
First of all, I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU FOUND THAT!!! Lucky, lucky girl. Second, thanks for sharing ModFruGal! Love it. Can’t wait to stalk her blog.
Thanks Erika…and everyone else for the kind words! I too can’t wait to see how she styles her new brassiness!
You have a great eye that is unique in this cut and paste world!
Love it! So jealous!
I have only one word for you:
JEALOUS!
Make that two words:
insanely jealous.
Hee hee good one.
