We bought this beautiful antique French bed about 8 months ago... ...original paint in dreamy color...
...rose carvings...
...2DIE4 legs....
Like any French beauty was admired by hundreds of customers, but this one... didn't sell. We took it to the Flea Market with us... people loved it, but it didn't sell...
Two hours after it was removed from the store and taken to be cut and be transformed in a beautiful, French bench...this nice gal comes in and says: "You had a French bed....." Oh no!...let us get to the phone fast..."Don't cut it!!!...after 8 months, a customer wants the bed!"
We are happy to say that the beautiful French bed, with rose carvings and 2DIE4 legs was rescued from the electric saw and has now a new home! Gina is probably the luckiest customer we know, she was thinking about the bed for 8 months and she was about 30 minutes from loosing it!
Moral of the story: If you love it, get it!...because... That piece you love so much, the one in your local antique store, the one you keep visiting every week, the one you promise yourself you are getting next time, the one you leave behind while walking away saying: "If it's meant to be..." ...can be going to the electric saw pretty soon!!
Gina has promised to send us pictures once the bed is in the room and we'll share them with you as soon as we get them.
We share a passion for all things old, cottage and chic! After 10 years of retailing, we have closed our San Clemente store but you can find us now at our Space in Country Roads, Orange, CA (Space #135)
We are constantly shopping for vintage and antique treasures: ironstone, china, linens, accessories and small pieces of furniture that we can rescue and give a new life to, so don't be surprised to see at the Flea Market on Sundays mornings!
Thank you for visiting us,
Clara & Marcela
