Not to everyones taste I know but when I saw this 1950/60's formica drop leaf table with matching chairs outside an Evesham charity shop a while back I admit to sighing and stroking it longingly.
It was only £10 and had stood the test of time, and no doubt there was an awful lot more life left in in still, there's furniture in my flat that I know will never last that long.
I always say I need another house (or two) with plenty of nooks and crannies and a few original features that I could decorate and furnish for the sheer hell of it in my eclectic taste ...... this would definately have found a space in my retro kitchen!!!
I feel your pain. I volunteer one day a week at a local high end thrift store. They get so much beautiful furniture in there, and as a volunteer, I get 50% off their already low prices. It takes all my willpower not to buy pretty dishes and furniture when I'm there.
