This Brass bar cart/ drinks trolley is too just too good, even better if you live in Victoria, I will hopefully find one of these "wheelie beauties" in my area one day.

The look is very Similar to the one I found at Chapel street Bazaar and posted about Here.

Side table + Bar Cart {Ebay Melbourne}

How cute are these brass and black glass side tables.

Bid Here

They remind me of Abode Love's "Man mountain" living room

* * * * *

Also if I remember some readers in Melbourne might be looking for a Bar Cart?

 This listing says "Tea Trolley" in the title... No Bar Cart in the title at all! I had never thought of searching "Tea Trolley".

Bid Here

And the inspiration...

Friday Fugly

Only on Ebay could you find a beauty like this - I can't imagine why they are selling it, but at $250 starting price I don't think it will be going anywhere fast Listing Here

Pillow talk...

The self imposed shopping ban has been lifted (by myself) and I have ordered a few pillows that I of course don't need.

I went to my favorite Miss Gingham on Ebay and bought one of these

To sit with the birdie pair that I already have (from the same store).

And also sitting next to Mr & Mrs Chevron Ikat - Also an Ebay purchase but from Here

I am sure Mr Greek key would like to sit on the lounge also....

  

Eames retro perspex shelves

Somebody needs to buy this Eames retro perspex shelving unit currently on Ebay Here for $2.25 with 1 day left to bid (Purchaser will need to pick up from Western Sydney)......go forth and purchase - by my calculations $2.25 is 1/2 a coffee.

Lonny chair - Ebay find

This image from the latest Lonny mag is beautiful:

This then had me searching on Ebay for something similar - I searched "brass chair" and this is what I found for $120 here . Just putting it out there but it seams that allot of nice things appear if you type "Brass" into Ebay/ Craigslist or Gumtree (try it- I double dare you).

Allot of you were cautious of me posting my Ebay finds - Our apartment is full to the brim - I purely search these things because I love the thrill of the chase, nothing makes me happier than finding a budget friendly version of something that probably cost a motza.

Does anyone want me to search your city for a bargain?

Ebay find of the day- Bamboo chairs

Is seams that many of you beautiful Black Velvet Chair readers have a great eye for finding a bargain and seeing the potential in everything.

Sooooo the $1 Million dollar home I posted yesterday made me feel depressed and disheartened with the Sydney real estate situation I was then led to shopping on ebay for Bamboo chairs....what else is a girl to do when you don't have $1 Million dollars in your pocket? (we can't all be "Winning" like Mr Charlie Sheen).

Option 1

Located in Melbourne and currently no bids at $70 (only 1 day left).

OMG check out the detail at the corner where the leg meets the cross bar - Devinne!.

Here on Ebay

Option 2

These beauty's are in Windsor (Sydney).....Stop me now.....bid, bid, bid!

Here on Ebay - Currently $19.99

I imagine these would look great at either end of a big table.

(Karina - you say I never mention you on this blog.....you must buy these for your big table) 

I would paint them gloss white and pair with beautiful cushions covered in a floral Missoni Fabric (as below). 

The brass & marble side table @ Home

Here are some photos of the side table in the lounge - sorry for the blurry late night photos (I will take some proper lounge photos when I get a spare minute at home in natural light). The table is so convenient & I love that the table ties the chairs in as a permanent fixture in the room. If I am blogging at home you will usually find me sitting in a Black Velvet chair with a remote & wine in hand - hence the practical styling of the remotes on the side table.

PS: I am in dire need to update the wall of frames behind - I am thinking 8 large frames in a 4 by 2 arrangement- What do you think? .

Fabulous followers-

Ebay Find- Side table

In the 40+ degree heat on Saturday afternoon I dragged my dear husband to Western Sydney to pick up this beautiful brass and carrera marble side table. You can't really tell from the shocking listing picture but it is amazingly stunning & totally happy with the steal price of $8...+ about $30 in petrol and tolls. It is now sitting proudly between the black velvet chairs in our lounge room, the brass on the table matches perfect with the brass nail head trim on the chairs (photos to come).

Ebay find of the day- Dining setting

Silk Ikat Pillows

A Package arrived for me 2 weeks ago and I knew exactly what it was, this little beauty had come all the way from Uzbekistan, it was wrapped beautifully in brown paper and twine and sealed with a wax seal. 

In the package were 2 x Ikat pillow cases $25.28 + $8 postage, I purchased these on eBay. They took about 4 weeks to arrive but the wait was well worth it (I think they accidentally shipped them to Austria first) 2 x Silk Ikat pillow cases here

 

Here they sit on the Black Velvet Chair in our lounge room

They have a great range of Silk Pillow cases, all standard sizes and reasonably priced, have a look at the range of silk pillow cases they stock here AntiquarianTextiles. The quality is good, it does feel more like raw silk that has not been highly processed.

Here are a few of the other designs that I am loving (from the same store):
