Vintage Finds & Color

Got It Joburg West

 
I really enjoy shopping online for vintage finds. No gas and the world is my oyster. This week I scored a few things I love.

First are three Fitz and Floyd palm giraffe candlesticks. Pictured here are two of them in my entryway.

And a pink one.

The other vintage find is this 1970s wicker turtle table. I am trying to decide on what color I will paint him as the white finish looks rather blah.


1970s Vintage Wicker Turtle Table

I am thinking about high gloss navy or coral or hot pink. I love these wicker animal tables and have two elephants, a snail, and now a turtle.

Painting wicker is a very easy DIY. I personally have had great luck with Rust-oleum American Accents Spray Paint (also called Painters Touch).

Speaking of color, I just snagged this pink rattan flatware I have had my eye on for a steal. It is now reduced from $48.00 a place setting to $17.97 at Anthropologie with free shipping over $50. Anthropologie has an additional 40% off all sale items right now. Discount in cart. Click here.

  3. For your home, any fun color. But, if he were mine he would be a bright and preppy kelly green - my latest love.

    1. That's a fun idea - I have several rooms that are blue and white, so just the navy would work in those, so I need to decide where he goes.

  4. I had a vintage wicker table restored a couple of years ago. They recommended Rust-oleum Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover Paint + Primer. Did a terrific job and super easy to use.

    1. From what I have read, they are the same paint, just different packaging.

  5. OMG!!!! Those F&F candlesticks are IT!!!! I am crazy over them! Terrific find!!! And that blue bracelet has my name written all over it. Wish I'd found that turtle! Can't remember if I ever told you that I stumbled upon my own elephant table in white after I saw yours and it was in perfect shape for $50! It's so fun following YOU!!!!
