UsedVictoria Thursdays

Almost missed it! We can't have that...

Here are the best find of the week on UsedVictoria.Com

Perfectly French!

This magazine rack screams for bright yellow paint

This twin bed frame is so cute I had to point it out to Rich (would has promised to build me one when we have a 5 year old, and not before)


A KING size, antique head board (so rear to find a king) - if I took this pretty baby home she would get a nice coat of white paint and I would upholster the back of it

Happy Thursday!

UsedVictoria Thursdays - okay, Friday.

Hello All, sorry about the late post. I wrote it all yesterday and then the blog crashed, and I had to re write it. Boo!! But it was to good to just skip.

This week I'm doing something a little different - in addition to posting gems I find on UsedVictoria.Com, I will also be posting a photo of what the project could look like after revamping it! All 'after' photos are care of DesignSponge.Com

NO LONGER AVAILABLE

And here is a possible 'after' photo:

$50 is a great price for a wingback chair - especially one like this which is also a recliner!

$150 for a solid couch is a great price!

UsedVictoria Thursdays

UsedVictoria Thursday again! I look forward to this, you know. I see so much for sale on UsedVictoria that are breathtaking and a great price - but since my house is only so big and my husband only so patient, this is a good outlet for you.

Here are the steals of the week, and what to do with them!

Awesome side table for only $40!! Paint it a bright yellow, or a nice teal colour and you won't be disappointed!

Those of you that know me well, know I'm a sucker for marble. Get this - $150 for a 1800's dresser WITH a marble top!! The marble would cost you $500 alone.. This dresser would make the perfect vanity

$40 for this handsome side table. Leave it as is, or paint it a nice gloss white. Or maybe satin charcoal. Or maybe...

UsedVictoria Thursdays

Just a few pretty things for you today. UsedVictoria is usually hit-or-miss, and it was slim pickins' today. Although I do truly love the few items I found, and would welcome them into my house any day, if Hubby didn't think I already have enough furniture projects..

$50 is very fair for this romantic round mirror!

A quick fabric job in a big bold print would make this $80 perfect for a bedroom

Funky vintage light fixture - $40!!

Some yellow paint for the wood and cute white/grey patterned fabric, and it would be a gem - for only $195!

UsedVictoria Thursdays

This past week was a busy week for MoganHouse. We had the AnnualDeanPark garage sale, where we scored a ton of great deals (which I've obviously already started attacking with a spray paint can). I also found a few great deals on UsedVictoria!

An 18" tin star for only $2!!! She obviously didn't know what she had, but I was happy to take it off her hands (one of the only times I've paid asking price for something!)

A cute wood table, which I have small plans for (future post, of course). She was asking $25, but I got it for only $15

Sorry I didn't tell you about them sooner - but you might have blabbed. Here are a few great items for sale on UsedVictoria right now (that I haven't stolen from under your noses!)

Neat old chest for $30

Cute side table! Paint it a light Easter colour for some shabby chic goodness for only $25!

At $200, it's more than I would want to spend on this side table, even if it is from the 1800's - but I have to admit I love its shape!!

UsedVictoria Thursdays (really? can we make this a thing?!)

You all know how I feel about UsedVictoria - I mean, check out some of the scores I've gotten on there! And remember that post a while back - can we do this every Thursday?

I vote yes for today, but I would love your feedback in the meantime! Here are some great items available right now:

Cute stool for only $20!! Yellow = awesome.

I'm a total sucker for a good wing back chair - and for $49, how can you loose?

Look at the lines to this couch - super modern! And a great colour - did I mention it is only $30?!

So much quality and detail - but if you were to recover them, they would never leave your house - $280 for the set!

30's style - which is super high end luxe right now - at only $265 for the pair and in mint condition, I'm trying to think of a way to bring them home with me..

I hope you all know that I really post these so that I remember what deals I am considering for my own house. Ah UsedVictoria - you would never steer me wrong.

Wow - those last set of chairs really are the bee's knees... I notice I posted a lot of green velvet - curious. Do I feel the early flutter of a future project coming on?? Hubby says no.

Used Victoria - The Hunt!

There are so many wonderful things for sale on UsedVictoria right now that it makes me tingle. But, because I recently promised my husband that I would not bring home any furniture or "projects" (heh, who am I kidding - all my furniture finds are projects) until our spare bedroom was cleaned out, I thought I would pass on my most tingle-worthy items currently for sale


Pure luxe, for only $250


Three tables for only $295!! Super cute


Sabby chic table - $110



Lovely dresser from the 1800's for only $150



Amazing side table for only $75!!!



Okay, truth be told, that last item really reeeeally made me beg my husband. No bites. I wonder if they would take $40....
