I love last minute trips!
Last Friday night, a friend and I decided to take a quick trip to KC on Saturday morning. We thought, "Hey, the boys are building a deck and we don't want to get sucked into being errand runners or, gasp, helping, we should go shopping!"
So we did!
We went to antique stores, the Plaza, and the Legends in Kansas City. We scored some awesome deals and found way too many lovely things that were way too expensive. : )
We also discovered that next time we go to these particular antique stores, we must take a larger vehicle...one that can carry dressers.
They had amazing stuff...for real!
(please excuse the quality of the pictures...i am not so good at the iphone camera yet...)
everyone needs a beautiful buffet with lots of storage. if it's old it's even better.
that is a door, connected to cabinets, with hooks, it'd look great in a foyer!
I got this frame. i love it! we have big plans together...you just wait and see.
old mantle piece. wouldn't that be cool as a headboard? or as a mantle...
i am thinking our dining room could use a little makeover...i would love to paint the base...what color do you think? yellow? blue?
i have a soft spot for doors. aren't those awesome?
They have a great collection of antique stores down in the old warehouse district in downtown KC. I think it's called the Westbottoms.
We went to the ones called Good Ju Ju and Bella Patina. You should definitely stop by and check it out next time you are in the area.
