Wanna Spend At Least An Hour (and possibly a nice chunk of change) On A Website?


This will be short and sweet because these pictures tell it all...

If you haven't yet discovered "Factory20" --

Off you go!


to be transported!

Wow! Now THAT'S a reading light!

THIS baby could hold some MAJOR laundry day work!

Coffee table extraordinaire!

Soooo, guess there would be really NO excuse for being disorganized with these, huh?

Love the fact that it has the elegance of the
Queen Anne style legs, with the funkiness of metal!
Kinda like a Steampunk table!
I love this -- no idea what I'd use it for, except to maybe just stand there looking cool...

So now I've shared with you one of my new favorite places
online...

And trust me ....

There is still PLENTY left to see!

Hope you'll enjoy perusing the cache of
vintage goodies
at

~Ruth~

P.S.... Next post will likely be all about
my saga of painting my kitchen cabinets (finally!).
Can't do it now -- literally falling asleep as I type out this post...
please forgive any typo's!

I am putting this site on my "to do right after the open house" list...I love the look of industrial metals...I am hoping to use some of this look mixed in with my french/nordic Kitchen...(we are starting on the cabinets in a week or so...I'm beyond excited!)
Speaking of kitchens...How's it coming?
Well...must get back to work...Have a wonderful rest of the week! blessings to you dear friend...donna

Love it! When I was in Texas I stumbled across this place that sells old office supply equipment and had lots of drawers like these, plus old drafting tables and I would have brought home some of it, if my truck wasn't already loaded down with stuff! I am really feeling this look right now!
Thanks for sharing!

Can't wait to see the cabs!

xo,

Why...why...why would you show such a site???? Off to check it out. I don't know if I like you or hate you right now:-)

*The Beautiful Life* said...

Haha -- Jeanne, Jeanne... It's just a harmless little website... nothing to fear... Now, just click the link -- go ahead... it won't hurt. ;)

BTW, I'm going with "like me" instead of "hate me"... K?

so neat! There is so many pieces like this that I see at the Rose Bowl Flea. So fun and industrial. I love the juxtaposition of the frilly beautiful things with an unexpected industrial/weathered piece. Seems to make the frilly less *sweet* but makes it more elegant!

love it!!
