Estate Sale Finds

Frederick Cooper Pharmacy lamp for the living room $25.  We had been looking for one of these and I wanted a antique brass coloration to tie in to some of the other elements in the living room.  The pricing was way better than the new ones which were priced at a couple hundred bucks each.  Now we can lay on the living room sofa and read a book without going blind.  A pharmacy lamp is a great option here since we didn't want anything to compete with the two statement table lamps behind.
 Large Bird Cage $25.  I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do with this. I may spray paint it a fun color.  It might look nice with some plants inside or a series of candles.  In the meantime it's welcoming visitors on the front stoop (oh and look, there's the remaining white pumpkin the squirrel didn't eat!).
Bamboo and cane chair $25.  Currently adorning the guest room.  It ties in nicely with the bamboo style frames on the artwork.  I'm not sure if I'll leave it in its natural state or paint it.  There was a bench of similar style that I was tempted to purchase and resell but I couldn't find a home for it in the meantime.
