You know how sometimes you just wanna body slam yourself for walking away from something you should have bought??
Your standing there looking at the most epic deal of the century and you say something stupid to yourself like
"Oh I am so over this"
or
"this is so trendy I am gonna find something better"
Well, I have been kicking myself in the teeth for the past month after I STUPIDLY walked away from a campaign style , white, 6 drawer dresser for $30 bucks.
Yes you heard me right,
I WALKED AWAY FROM A CAMPAIGN DRESSER THAT WAS $30 MOTHA-LICKIN DOLLARS
Why you ask????
Cause I am a dip shit.....that's why
Thanks to Pinterest I have my face rubbed in it everyday.
Um yeah, that was pretty dumb of you. :)
ReplyDeletetheres always another!!
ReplyDeleteCrack up !!..I feel your pain, those moments of temporary insanity are brutal ..LURVE these chests.
ReplyDeleteWell now I'm educated about 'campaign style' via your pics I see and feel your pain. BUT, WTF with the language? (LOL) I thought Aussies were renown for an eye-popping cuss but boy I learning from you fast Amber! I'm not offended; far from it - just intrigued in different countries swearing standards! (There's a moral blog post in there for someone, but not from me!!)

That's. just. so. sad.
ReplyDeleteHopefully another one will come along so you can quit kicking yourself :)
Maybe do an IKEA RAST hack? Seems doable...
ReplyDeleteYou'll have a second (and third and fourth) chance and they will be even better! Love campaign and we have three pieces in our home and we still are finding more, but I don't want the house to be full of campaign stuff :)
ReplyDeleteHi Amber...again. I re-read my comment and thought I might offend. So glad you posted it - meand non offended, right? Always enjoy your posts!!

sure you'll find another one, those things are like Kim Kardashian, they go around. Don't sweat.
ReplyDeleteI found a campaign style shelving unit at salvation army for $100 but I have no vehicle to transport it so I had to let it go. Still hurts man...You will find another if you keep searching and next time you'll know to snatch it!
ReplyDeleteOh no, that is not good! I think they are classics. You will find one again, I am sure of it!
ReplyDeleteWeird, I had never heard of this style before and now I found this: http://guffonline.blogspot.com/2011/10/mahogany-campaign-desk.html
ReplyDeleteIt's a local store known for their good prices.
This happens to me a LOT because I am too cheap for words. I don't think it through all the way until it is too late and I was being the world's biggest tightwad fool. I passed up a pair of gorgeous camel colored Barcelona chairs for nothing only to later find the same ones in an antique store for a million dollars. Boo.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when that happens :) But it must be pretty easy to DIY with a simple dresser, some T-braces, some L-braces (hardware store) some gold spray paint and pulls (google online sources). It's a little more work, I admit, but it might save your behind from all that kicking :)
ReplyDeletei want to kick you in the face! need one so bad for my daughters room!!
ReplyDeleteand by kick you in the face, i mean loads of love. No violence for me.
Kelley
I'm devastated for you!
ReplyDeleteOh Snap!!!
ReplyDeleteI just sold a Vintage Drexel Campaign desk for $300 and I'm still on the fence on whether I should have kept it.
Oh well too late now!!!!
I just blogged about my campaign obsession as well ... so lovely. I am in love with Jamie Meares' side tables!
ReplyDeleteAh that blows...on the silver lining side it's affirmed that you really love them and have to find another one...and that one will be even better!!!
ReplyDeleteTime out corner for you.
ReplyDelete"Old Greg" says you will find another one.....they always turn up.....
ReplyDeleteSO FUNNY! I just posted about brass cornered clothing, which of course led to campaign furniture! Great Minds! :)
