I found some really neat vintage items at the Goodwill this time!
I don't really know how to describe my house style. I guess eclectic. I like vintage things (usually from the 60's) which I believe carries over from my mother's love of bright patterns and colors. However, I also like modern stuff with clean lines and not a lot going on. It's interesting to combine the two.
The first thing I found were these neat, floral print curtains. I love the pattern and the colors. I don't have a place to hang them yet but I just couldn't pass them up. They don't have any wear on them and I believe them to be from the 60's or 70's.
Purchase price - $4.00
Next up, is what I guess is a clear plastic clothes hamper.
Although I'm fairly certain it is meant to be a hamper, I'm going to use it as a garbage can. It fits a 13 gallon garbage bag perfectly.
This was interesting to me because of two things. 1. It has a lid. 2. The pattern is a common cut glass pattern.
Based on the design and material, I would guess the hamper to be from the 40's or 50's but I'm really not sure. There is no maker's mark to help me out.
The hamper is in good condition but needs a good cleaning to look its best.
Purchase price - $2.00
