We spied this cement table and two benches.
We were ready to buy the set, but when hubby and one of the estate sale guys went to move the top of the table, it began to split. Waaaaahhhh. It weighed a ton, and I didn't want it to break off, and land on any one's foot. So, we left it, and went home with the two benches. The people conducting the sale really had everything priced to go. We paid $7.50 for both benches. Yes, seven dollars, and fifty cents.
Sitting in the garage at the same sale was this settee.
Also a very good buy. It came home with me too.
The upholstery is in great condition, and so is the frame.
I'll share some of the other things we picked up later. It's a beautiful day here, and I want to take advantage of it. Painting, painting, and more painting. See ya soon.

Rosemary, those benches were a steal for that price!
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the settee! If owned it I would not change a thing other than polish up the wood. It is beautiful!
Why can't I run into an estate sale like that? The settee is gorgeous, it reminds me of the chair I just re-did with the cane back...can't wait to see how you beautify it:)
ReplyDeleteCall me next time before you go so I can follow you! I would have done the happy dance if I had found that setee! Can't believe only $7.50 for the benches.
ReplyDeletegreat finds as usual, Rosemary! I have one of those concrete benches out front, pretty pricey at Lowes!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are amazing finds, Rosemary. I'd say you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, love the benches, and what a bargain!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your pieces with the gesso, I tried a little bit on a desk I'm painting, and was wondering where do you buy it in bulk. I bought a small tube at Michaels $9.99 and its gone, because I put three coats, thanks for the help,

Amazing finds, I'm never that lucky... Happy Sunday. Ciao
ReplyDeleteGreat buy, i have been painting, painting also. We are getting ready to move so I am trying to get my furniture pieces ready! Di
ReplyDeleteYou really found some great buys! I love the benches even without the table. Great settee too.

Super bargain! Are you leaving them au natural or giving them the treatment? ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteWow....you sure find great deals, Rosemary! I would'ave cried at leaving that beautiful table behind, too. :( But the benches are fabulous as is that settee! I can just imagine it painted with your old world technique. Gorgeous with the blue fabric! :)

Love the benches. I have four of the concrete bench legs that I got for a dollar each some where and am deciding what to do with them. I always make Joe lift heavy concrete-he rolls his eyes but does it. The blue settee is lovely and I can imagine you might paint it.
ReplyDeleteWow! what terrific finds. Professionals come in to run estate sales in my area, so prices tend to be higher than lower.

What a dealio! 7.50 SCORE! I like the setee too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finds! I especially love the settee! I'd love one like that.
ReplyDeleteThe sight of the tufting made my heart go pitter pat, but the thought of a cement top falling on my foot made me twitch!

OMGoodness, Rosemary! That settee is gorgeous! What a find, I would love to find one like that for my home. Lucky you!
ReplyDelete~Shanon
Oh my goodness, what a bargain and a half!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fun weekend! Your finds are incredible. Our weather was lovely today too. I spent some time outside and it definitely was enjoyable. Have a good (and productive) week!
ReplyDeleteRosemary, that settee is gorgeous just the way it is, but I can also see it painted white. And I imagine that you will be adding your touch to those concrete benches. Can't wait to see what you do.
ReplyDeleteRosemary ~
ReplyDeleteWow! you did land some awesome finds!! Lucky girl.
I love the concrete benches!!
I have a chair that matches your settee! but has gold upholstery. The upholstery and caning are in perfect condition. My mother in law bought it a garage sale for $5. I plan on painting it white and adding some shabby chic fabric.
I just spent a couple days making over some thrift store finds. Hope you will drop by for a visit.
See you soon.

Oh.my.goodness!!! I'm so in love with that settee. I can just picture it painted in a gorgeous white with the blue upholstery still in tact. Then add a few french pillows to it and ooh la la it's beautiful! I would've had to knock you down for that one had I been there. Ha! Can't wait to see you refurbish it.
ReplyDeleteCame over from Debbie's grad party. The benches are a great deal and I love the caned settee! i am curious if you will stain or paint the concrete benches?
