It's Old But It's New to Us
We went to an auction on Sunday, we had no intention to buy anything big, look what we bid on and won....
This beautiful antique cherry wood double headboard and footboard cost us $35 - yes, that's right, $35, one other person was bidding against us and he dropped out, we couldn't believe our luck!! We were willing to pay way more than we did!! It was made in Kitchener, Ontario by Burns Furniture, I've searched but can't find a thing on the company. The bed is in perfect shape, not a scratch on it and it's so sturdy - a bed like that would cost a pretty penny to buy now!
I had been wanting to find something just like this for some time - it looks just perfect - now when the kids come home, they'll be sleeping in luxury!!
What a score! I want to go to some auctions but I have no friends, cannot drive due to medical reasons & they are all too far away!
ReplyDeleteGreat deal. I love real wood furniture - so much of the furniture made these days is not made to last.
ReplyDeleteYay! What a great auction buy! Well done! Linda@wetcreek Blog
ReplyDeleteAwesome find! Years and years ago when my brothers were small my dad picked up 2 sets of real wood head boards and foot boards (single size) at a garage sale, probably from the 50s for dirt cheap, they still sleep on those beds today!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! Great buy!! Nothing like real wood!
ReplyDeleteLove it and what deal!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been searching and searching for an old bedroom suite for my master bedroom. I want a queen hedboard... so I knew the hunt would be long, since those were rarely made.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a score! Real wood is wonderful. Lovely bed! :) Pam
