Round Top Part 1

This past weekend I headed to Round Top for the semi-annual antiques weekend. I met my mom, sister, and some good friends to spend way too much money, walk miles and miles until my entire body hurt, and have way too much fun.

On this particular trip I was not looking for anything specific, just some good deals and more items to add to my storage unit. Below are some of the larger pieces I purchased.

Gold shelf $20



Cursive L (is about a foot tall) $5

Planning on painting it black or turquoise and hanging it somewhere??



Small coffee table $12





And the best purchase of the weekend!!!!

DRUMROLL PLEASE


Italian gold leaf side tables (they are a little beat up, and are missing a few knobs but the price was too good to pass up). I was in Carmine checking out the local antique stores when I saw just one of these tables outside with this tag on it. Now to most people this would be a great price, but the piece did have some problems and I was debating whether or not I could save it. But then I saw that there was another matching table with the same tag on it. However, I was still struggling with my decision, so I went inside the antique store to ask the owner about the tables. She said that she was trying to get rid of them and would give me a deal. So I asked "what's the best price you can do" and she said "$50 bucks for both" and I said "Sold"!




With some gold leafing, two knobs and some TLC these table are going to look "AMAZING"



The next post will be of all the smalls I bought, and yes there are some milk glass pieces included.

  1. What fabulous finds. I look forward to seeing them when you have them all redone. I love to shop flea markets and thrift shops, so I am always interested in how others reinvent and redo their wonderful finds. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Marty
