Hi there friends...
On Monday my hubby had to go to his back doctor for a follow up and I went along. His doctor is in Connecticut and on the way we pass a great antique store!
~~~
Didn't come home empty handed:-)
I found this pretty chair for $25...I'm going to use it near the desk in our study.
After I give it a good cleaning I'm going to give it a fresh coat of black paint
The rush seat is in great condition.
Next I found these antique insulators...they had a ton of them...they were $2 each. Next time I visit I'm going to pick up a few more.
~~~
I've been on the hunt for a small cabinet for our master bath...it must have been my lucky day because I finally found one.
She's definitely an old piece which I love...she just needs a little TLC!
They were asking $75 for it but I got it for $50.
I worked on this piece yesterday...I'll be back soon to show you the makeover!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Treasure Hunt Thursday

Oh my ~ what wonderful treasures. I can't wait to see what you have done with your little cabinet.
That is a really cool chair! Is it a Windsor? Some people paint furniture to get that chippy look. I get really nervous when it comes to painting antique furniture, you're very brave. Nice finds, hope all is well with your husband!
Oh my I love what you found!! That cabinet is great and only $50. ..
that's a steal! Love the chair..I would only clean it and leave the aged look as it.... just saying....
What amazing finds!!!!!!!!! I am in love with that cabinet - lucky lady!!!

Great finds Martina! I love the insulators--I have a collection on my window sills and have made candle holders with them in barn wood.
Great finds! I love the color of the insulators.
Fabulous finds Martina!!! I love your chair! Wow what a fabulous price and the rush weave looks like it is in perfect condition!!!
Can't wait to see it in its new home along with what you do with the pretty cabinet. Hope your hubby's appointment went well.

Wow, Martina you got some great deals. 25 for that chair? Fabulous!
That turned out to be a worthwhile trip to the doctor's office! Love everything you found. That chair is really nice. I love old chairs like that.
That was a GREAT buy on that old piece. Was it an old dry sink? I can't wait to see what you did with it- xo Diana
You always seem to find the greatest things and deals!...What a very productive day!!...Love it all!!
Hi Martina and I hope all was well with your hubby's follow up. Now look at all of your treasures. I used to have quite a few of those olden insulators but don't know what happened to them. I love your little cabinet and will be looking forward to seeing it in your bathroom.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Great finds Martina! I can't wait to see the cabinet when you're done with it.
I am sure the cabinet will look great. The chair is so nice and at a great price
The rush seat on the chair is in great condition...love it! The cabinet I can't wait to see it done!
OMG, is that a Hitchcock chair that someone has already painted over? If it has already been painted, I guess you might as well give it another coat since the value is gone, but if the finish is just worn, please be careful not to paint it and just leave it in its original loveliness.
Beautiful finds all the way around!
BTW, I may not comment here regularly, but I have been a stalker for a long time. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your style and taste. One of my favorites in blogville, in fact.
Great finds, Martina.
Beautiful finds, can I ask where in CT you found these? We live in SE MA and go for drives in CT quite often. I would love to find some new shops!
