You never know what you are going to find at my favorite trash to treasure source, Urban Ore in Berkeley.  I head there often and come home with great finds.  This week I am helping a friend furnish her new home in the wine country, she is going for cottage chic, light and airy and bright… and I had my eyes open for full and queen sized bed frames.  And looky what I found!

that’s real wood there, not resin appliqué molding, not that there is anything wrong with that;)

There were other frames there, but this one was by far the nicest, check out the detail on the legs with casters to boot!

needs a bit of cleaning, but how pretty are the gams on this bed?!

And here is another shot of the footboard alone:

if she hadn’t wanted this bed Scarlett may have needed an upgrade!

Here was another headboard option, but it was too busy and not at all cottagey… yet painted or glittered;) it would be beautiful:

those bits are calling out for different colored paint, or glitter!

I spied this chair as well, it would be gorgeous refinished and reupholstered, but if I come home with any more chairs hubby might leave me.

make me pretty again!!!

it’s all in the legs, right?

Then I spied this french horn chandelier, beautiful heavy brass, calling out for some fun lampshades or some glitter!  You think I jest but in this case I do not.  I take my glitter very seriously.

so traditional, would love to funk it up a bit with fun lampshades and tiny touches of glitter here and there

I have two clients right now in need of lighting, but this is not what we were in the market for.  Although I should buy it, transform it and then show them.:D  I’ve half convinced myself already. Quick, somebody, go buy it so it will stop haunting me!;)
