Too true! Happened to me...
Too true! Happened to me just the other day 🙁 The good thing is that there is a good item at least once a day on the site, I'd need a warehouse if I bought everything I found interesting. For example there are two vintage stressless recliners with metal bases plus footstools for 100 Usd the pair! It's about a two hour drive from here though and my other half isn't as enthusiastic about retro as I am!
aaahhhh....
well things here in Philadelphia arent so fortuitous....its rare that great things pop up..as far as your other half, cant help you with that...never easy when two people have conflicting taste...but a good compromise would be to find things, like the wall unit, that really are neither here nor there, less dated...in a word-timeless...if nothing else you, should be able to convince him/her of its practicality and thrift...a piece of furniture of vintage quality and of good design in todays marketplace would cost a considerable amount...
Oh he's completely hands off...
Oh he's completely hands off when it comes to decor and is usually pleased with the results of my efforts. It's just that driving a couple of hours just to check something out based on a photo sometimes takes a bit of persuading :-/
You see I can't drive (I know, an alien concept to you americans 🙂 so he has to take me. Oh well, he's agreed to go buy the chair if I can manage to get the seller on the phone.
cant drive either...
no car...live in a very walkable/bike-able city...but hard to carry furniture cross town :]...my fiance has a car, but its tooo small for most things...always end up renting a moving van....damn the man..maybe my next purchase should be a van.....GOOD LUCK with the chair 🙂
