a desk for me at the auction!

 

 

I'd been looking for a cool desk for a while and this past weekend I snapped up this bamboo piece at a local auction. Love the oriental feel of it. I think my ghost chair is gonna look great with it.

 

I also wanted this bench, but it got away...

 

 

and this large serape/rug was also on my list but escaped me, too...

 

 

I do love a good antique auction.

This antique French cabinet would be happily at home at my place,

just under the new flatscreen.

If only I could make it to the auction this weekend.

 

But I can't. 

 

Isn't it great? With it's mellow patina and it's 38 x 94 x 16 self.

Where else in the world am I going to find that perfection?

And I really want these two abstracts.

Badly.

 

 

They are going as a lot of two.

 

I'm just out of luck this go-round.

 

If you're anywhere near western North Carolina, you really should check out

Brunk Auctions in Asheville.

 

We were there for an auction a few months ago.

Awesome stuff.

He ain't so bad either.
