i have been struggling all week long to get stuff done, so to happy its friday means to be happy that i get to work and do projects all weekend long. lol.
with that said this week's "friday finds" are a lil low, but hey...
i admit it. i have a lot of goals tucked away in my head. some of them are a lot less realistic than other, but i still hold on to them. owning a men's retail shop is a goal of mine. think the aesthetics of a billy reid with the inventory of a sid mashburn. if i did this one would be part of my shop. it was $30 i think. i'd paint it a lacquered black or red, perhaps a grey white wash. id store all kinds of amazing shirts and sweaters in it. alas, i dont have that shop so it stay right where it was.
honestly, i was surprised to see something like this in this particular store. its been a long time since i have come across a quality classic wooden piece of furniture that wasn't overpriced. i hope this store gets the hint and does better with their pricing. if i remember correctly it was $29.99.
well that is it for me this week. not much, but it is something.
you can tweet me with #FridayFinds on twitter (MrGWHunting) if you'd like to share anything. i will trying to share a few on facebook as well as twitter.

You ave a great eye!
The first piece (for your fantasy store -which WILL become a reality, I just KNOW it!) reminds me of the piece you found here in Savannah and painted white for my NB courtyard. Same exact legs!
Miss you!
First of all I love you and your style. I try and save all of the episodes when you are on the Nate Bekus show.
I too love interior design. My side gig is designing and creating soft home accessories (bedding, pillows, etc.). I love mix and match unique texiles together. As for your new pieces:
The console I think I would paint a charcoal gray and line the inside with teal.
Dresser: either the laquer black or red you mentioned.
Arm Chair: I am really into men suiting fabrics in home design. With that being said I would paint the wood surrounding the chair in a laquer (any color) and re-upholster the chair in either a gray pinstripe, a glen plaid, or window pane fabric.
Barstools: I would cover then in a menswear fabric.

I really liked the $29.99 dresser. I swear its hardware matches my bedroom suite. So wish I was where you were to grab that buy.
FYI -- no men's store for you in my book. Your clothing fashion sense is nothing compared to your home design sense which is astronomically fantastic.
I have been following you since I first saw you on t.v. and you have greatly inspired me. I was in a different town a few weeks ago, and I passed a Goodwill store. It was calling out to me. I went inside and one of the employees was JUST putting out one of those REALLY expensive floor gel mats marked with a price of $15! It still had the original cardboard sleeve around it. They normally go for about $100 in the retail shops. Wooo hooo!
That tartan chair is cool... I would gel stain all the wood darker though. That middle of the road wood color just doesn't do it for me.
Great pieces, and I agree with the over pricing esp at my local GW :(
I have been desperately searching for barstools like that...any chance you can tell me which location you were at??
