About Me
- Tracy
- "I see therefore I want." Something my dad would always say when we were little and would see something we wanted. He would sit down to eat breakfast. I would see. I would want. Naturally. He would then reply with his trademark "I see therefore I want". Who knows where he picked that one up from. He has a ton of weird dadisms (don't even get me started) but this one always stuck. So here's to you dad. A blog dedicated to all the things I see on a daily basis that I decide I must have. Or at least want. I guess he's right. If I didn't see it, I wouldn't want it. Too bad I saw it. Because now I want it.

Hi,
I found you through Victoria. It is so nice to meet another shabby addict. Please stop by sometime, would love to have you visit.
Hugs,
LeAnn :)
Hi there,
Hey Victoria and I saw on just like this, no kidding, in our local antique mall here for $425.00
it would be perfect with the frame painted and recovered...keep checking your local Goodwill, Salvation Army, St. Vincent DePaul and local antiques malls. You never know when one will show up from someones house! Love your blog, Donna Lynn
Hi there, Thank you for commenting on my blog. The dates for the Ventura flea market vary, however, there is going to be one this Sunday!! If you go to the R.G. Canning website, they post the show dates.
This setee is gorgeous by the way!

That settee is gorgeous! I agree with Donna Lynn, check at consignment stores and thrift stores. Also, I took upholstery classes at a local fabric store - I don't know if this is something you are interested in but I love taking old furniture and making it look fabulous! My father and I redid a settee a couple of years ago and it was all tuffeted on the back, I must say it was a bunch of work. But you could start with something simple like an ottoman. Also, there are some really good upholstery books too. Otherwise, ask around for a good reasonable upholsterer. Good luck on your hunt. Blessings, Victoria Lynn
Yes I will have one of thoes settee's, just lovely. I will be poping in often to visit:)
Thanks for poping by with postage to you it really depends on what you are looking at. If you send me an postage question from ebay I can work it out for what you are intersted in I can give you a quote.
Did you find your sofa yet? Hope you will have better stores to look in when you move soon, what fun to be going where Debbie Kay just was this weekend! That town looks like it is awesome...

I found a beautiful vintage settee on craigslist for $125 a couple weeks ago. I wish I knew you were looking for one because I'm in the South Bay area of SF. It was gold but could easily be repainted and reupholstered. I really wanted it but it was over 6' long and I didn't have room for it!
I always go to Craigslist under "furniture" and do a search for "french". That's how I found it!
I am posting a French style settee that needs refinishing but has great bones! I'm posting to craigslist and can send pics to anyone intersted. I just don't have time for the project. email me at latierramedia@comcast.net or check craigslist under french settee in Petaluma, California
