The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)
A couple of just-completed MCM restoration projects: a pair of Salterini "orange slice" chairs and a Canadian teak/afromosia dining set. For years I'd kicked around the idea of doing chairs in mismatched tweeds, and because I do all the work myself (and experimenting is free) I used some scraps...- tonylamerCJC

Outstanding job. I don't know if you're looking for a side hustle, but if you could build those in your spare time and learn to sew the cushions you'd do really well. Great work.- tonylamerCJC

I restored this mid-century coffee table last week. I'm laughing as I type this thinking about the great clothing finds you guys are posting. I haven't seen anything worth more than $20 in a thrift store in the last 6 months. But I'm happy with my furniture hobby.- tonylamerCJC

I really appreciate you guys being supportive of the painting stuff. I figured this is a like-minded community where people would think they're cool. I'll re-post a couple of other ones. They're both huge. The people ******* in the park is my favourite. It's hanging in my bedroom. The guy...- tonylamerCJC

You have a couple of options, but I'm gonna skip straight to the 2nd. I know you don't want to spend $150 in materials and take it down to the bare veneer (it's not solid teak) with a chemical stripper. Then bleach it with oxalic acid to get an even colour. Then make veneer repairs. And on and...- tonylamerCJC

I was on my way to get groceries and thought "There's no point stopping at the thrift store. No one's donated anything over Christmas. It'll be a waste of time." Hans Wegner 'President' sideboard/credenza. The most valuable piece I've ever found:- tonylamerCJC

Guys, happy holidays to all of you. Hard to believe it'll be 15 years on the thread for me come March. It's amazing how much has changed since I was posting Armani Cravatte pics on my denim bedspread in my parents' place in 2009. It's been great seeing the grey hair on contemporaries like Nat...- tonylamerCJC

I've watched a lot of YouTube re-selling content lately. I'm interested in how people are experiencing the immiseration caused by decades of bad policy. Two observations: 1) A lot of re-sellers aren't that sophisticated. You and I might be able to learn niches; a lot of these people can't. I'm...- tonylamerCJC

Nataku, great finds. You hunt the way I've always wanted to. Some non-clothing finds: Pair of MCM table lamps in a harder-to-find red glaze. And they're big. Someone had this old farebox that was beat to ****. I painted it and oiled the galvanized steel. I also was able to separate the old...- tonylamerCJC

Not much going on in terms of sales. Up here in Canada we have a mortgage structure a lot different than you guys in the States, so my buyers are getting reamed by the banks. I love neon and I've always wanted a liquor store or drug store sign. But I'm in Canada, and the signs are in Iowa. I...- tonylamerCJC

I wish I lived closer to Nat and Eazy so we could work out trades. Great stuff, guys. A couple more projects. I removed the middle 3 drawers and the mirror on this dresser to turn it into a credenza or media console. It's dated 1964. I need a bigger ******* house to stage this stuff. For now...- tonylamerCJC

@Nataku, that jacket is beautiful. I love your unique, vintage finds. A couple more furniture restoration projects. Sorry for all the furniture, I just never find clothes anymore. Had to pivot: MCM media console/dresser and an old smoke shop sign I picked up on FB Marketplace. I posted...- tonylamerCJC

Took a ton of work, but I finished this and lugged it inside by myself. 3 years ago I bought the headboard, side tables and dresser from this set. It's a mid-'70s Lane knockoff by Tabago (a Montreal manufacturer). Then someone was tearing down their cottage and had the highboy to complete the...- tonylamerCJC

Another finished project I think you guys will like. This was painted burgundy and I think coated with some kind of marine sealant. For $50 I was willing to gamble on what was under the paint. It's an RS Associates coffee table. Sales have died completely, but if I take these things to Toronto...- tonylamerCJC

My first 3 mid-century, thrifted-restoration projects of the year. I'm still a millennial working in my backyard so I had to wait for some decent weather (I'm just north of Toronto). I have $75 in all 3 of these pieces (plus materials and sweat equity). Materials have gone crazy with inflation...- tonylamerCJC

I'd been saving this Lotte shade for a giant Lotte lamp I'd never been able to find. Then I found this for $10 at the local Habitat Re-Store and thought it looked like a great fit for both my space and the shade. I knew nothing about it and thought at one point it might have been a Home Sense...- tonylamerCJC
