We have been roaming through local thrift stores like maniacs lately. We are eager to find a coffee table and a TV bench for our living room. We actually found a coffee table that would have been perfect for us but it was sold! We got really excited about it – it was beautiful sturdy table from the 50s and it was made out of slighlty darkened solid wood – but a lady came to tell that it was already sold. She put a “Sold” label on the table and we were defeated.

In addition to Our Dream Coffee Table – no other table will appeal to us in awhile I fear – we have found many other beautiful and interesting pieces of furniture. Unfortunatelly our furniture budget is still kind of limited and we wouldn’t have room for extra shelfs and cabinets in our apartment. So we have been forced to leave all the nice colored and shaped cabinets behind. Here are couple of cabinets that have caught our eye. (Why almost all the thrift stores and recycling centers are so dim?!)

And my favourite cabinet so far. It’s a pity we cannot purchase it. It would be great linen cabinet.
