Fleamarket finds for our new old house :)

Since we decided to make this move with NO furniture at all, we saw ourselves faced with an empty new house and - since our boxes finally arrived today, 47 of them - lots of stuff that needs a place.
Luckily this tiny town has a second hand furniture warehouse with lots of goodies, at least for junk shoppers like me LOL.
This is my collection of the last few days, I love all of them, Peter does, too, except he called the little dresser thing the ugliest piece of furniture he's seen in a while. It was only 15 Dollars and I will try to paint it sometime soon and show him the hidden potential inside this piece, ha, ha. We'll see. In the meantime it can be used as a toolbench in the shed.

The two chairs and couch were 25 Euro alltogether, about $ 35. Perfect shape, just the fabric needs some cleaning. The sewing mashine table is a gift from our neighbors, we might use it as a little side table or for the phone.
The white high desk thing was $ 30, I have no idea yet what to use it for, but with some love and cleaning it could be a cute little something to put in our hall way, maybe to hang our keys from or to put our wallets in.

This one need a little TLC :)

nice little features though

new seats, at least temporary until we can afford IKEA, ha, ha

chair and high desk thing, otherwise the living room is EMPTY. Love it!

OK, I admit, this one has a big layer of grey on it, but some goop and carpet cleaner might do the trick.





god knows how old this thing is, but with some furniture polish it will make a great end table.

our stuff came today!!! 47 boxes, none missing, none broken !!!

space bagged stuffed animals! Good thing I labeled all of our boxes ...





 

Finally some toys to play with! The girls could only take two stuffed animals with them on the plane when we left.


On some of the pictures you can see that the painting of the rooms has come a long way, in the living room we chose to have the upper part painted in a light sand color and the bottom white, seperated by a white wooden chairrail, that isn't finished all around the room yet.

I also found some vintage fabrics in my moms house and at the flea market, will try to make something cottage style out of them, maybe some throw pillows or curtains or something easy like that. ....

might decorate the dining room in shades of blue and the living room in pinks, plaids, stripes, reds and florals....


Will post some more pictures soon. Maybe in before and after style .....
