Also yesterday I went thrifting, but for the first time I had a goal, to find the sideboard for my living room!
Yes, now is time to find it 
I started my research from my favorite mid-century shops in the city without being particularly lucky 
Last week I found one but it was a bit damaged.
This time I found another one, and it was in very good conditions but the front doors open onward and I’m looking for one with sliding doors.
So, I wasn’t lucky on the sideboard ‘side’ but at least I saw other amazing stuff!
I’m very happy that I bought mine few months ago because now that the spring started these chairs are everywhere and much more expensive! They were a good deal
Apparently some Dutch train station had ‘sales’ considering how many clocks I saw yesterday…I always liked the design of this clocks but are a bit too large for my house 
Was also nice to see, finally live, these LC2 Breur sofa. I never saw a yellowish version of it, normally are black, but they were really comfy as well!
I’m in love of these Magis chairs since months now, you probably already saw them in previous posts about thrifting, but I just can’t take them; are not foldable. Am I too ‘rational’ ? Probably…
Last but not least the Breuer’s chairs, they almost never miss in this shop, and other ‘seating’ beauties.
It seams like every time I go for thrifting I see some piece that I particularly love, finally live!
Do you always have a goal when you go thrifting ? What kind of objects you find more often? Let me know in the comments.

This is amazing – I may have to fly to Amsterdam just for the thrifting! So many things I want from these photos – the yellow globe and those crazy blue train clocks! How expensive are things like this over there – or any of the stuff pictured (just curious to see if they are “thrifty!)
Great blog!
Hey Lisa! It depends…sometimes are thrifty sometimes not
This place is in between a design shop and a second-hand dealer.
But for sure they know the value of the stuff the have
Thanks for the nice words! Did you thrift recently as well? Any bargain?
Thanks for reading and see you soon around!
Heaven!
…or Hell if you can’t afford them
Oh, that sofa….there are some seriously wonderful things in those pictures! I feel your pain on the sideboard front, I have been on the hunt for one for over a year but they are either too expensive, too damaged, in good condition but not quite right, etc etc.
It’s nice to know that I’m not alone in my ‘pain’
That’s the problem with the mid-century furniture…it’s not like go to a shop, choose the one you like and order it!
You need to research an be veeeryy patient.
Thanks for your support
Ciao.
Those train station clocks are incredible, they would make an awesome end table.. WANT!

That’s a cool idea Evan! I was actually thinking to use them as chairs as well…they would be extremely cool!
Thanks for stopping by and for your nice words.
