Howdy, friends. Greetings from sprawling Houston, TX. We're in town for a dear friend's wedding. While my groomsman was playing the obligatory wedding morning round of golf, Moogee and I hit up some local design destinations. First stop: The Guild Shop. A huge thrift store, the Guild was clearly a popular Saturday morning destination for locals. This is not your everyday Salvation Army thrift store, folks; there were fine treasures to be found, with the price tags to match (relatively speaking of course). Interestingly, the prices are dated; after about a month, the price drops about fifteen percent. Of course, the longer you wait for the price to drop, the greater risk you encounter that someone will make off with your sweet find. Ahh, economics at its best!
Take a look at some of what we saw:
Love these Villroy & Bosch Acapulco dishes! Moogee has some, and I feel like they should come with some obligatory guacamole.
It's LBJ!
A set of seven Gone with the Wind plates.
This rocking chair would look amazing painted a glossy black (I know, I'm so predictable), with the seat reupholstered in a bright, graphic fabric. Reupholstering is a project I'd like to gently tackle one day.
Likewise with this great wicker chair! Black paint, with a great graphic cushion-- primo nest feathering, people. Primo!
