We picked up two awesome old school house desks. One was a basic
square shape in a distressed greenish blue color and the other was a
cream color with decorative legs. I found a similar one to the greenish one selling on Polyvore
for $125.00.
http://www.polyvore.com/olde_ good_things_small_vintage/ thing?id=18923875 We picked up both desks for $12.50 each. We are so excited about these desks! A friend and definitely one of our favorite local furniture restoration experts will be working her magic on these, we can't wait to show you the finished product! (And even where you can pick them up yourself!)
We also got a nice wooden 5-drawer chest of drawers for $60.00. It
was a little more than I wanted to pay but all the older real wooden
furniture was going pretty high. It ended up being a great bargain, compared to some of the other chest of
drawers that sold for over $100. The piece was in really good shape and will be a breeze to repaint.
The last item we got was a maple step end table with a small drawer. I'm always drawn to the step end tables, probably because my grandmother has always had these in her house. We paid $20.00 for the table. I found a similar one on Krrb.com
for $100.

We left there around 9PM and headed to
Springdale to Ken's Auction. Ken is located on Spring Street in
downtown Springdale. Ken's is one of our favorite auctions but only
stuck around for about 15 minutes. He always
has a nice selection of antiques, furniture, art, jewelry
and misc. house hold items. We didn't purchase anything at Ken's
because my son (and most patient auction sidekick), Tyler was spent. We'll be sure to
catch his auction next week. Ken's next auction is
next Friday night and I'm sure he'll have some great items.
Check our "Auctions & Events" tab for up to date auctions announcements for the Northwest Arkansas area. Hopefully we'll see you there!
Also, we are getting our facebook up and going! Please come check us out and tell your friends about us!
Thanks for reading!
