[Thrifting]
When I finally got the space to take home a Ikea Trollsta sideboard, it had disappeared from the collection. And what didn’t help either by processing this loss is that I am going through a yellow stage at the moment. I-had-to-have-it. I’ve been praying upon it since, browsing the internet, e-mailing people on Marktplaats (our Dutch E-Bay) and see it snatched away right under my nose about a dozen times.
Then the Summer came. A lot of people went on holiday. And a lot less people paid attention to the Marktplaats advertisements. I searched, e-mailed and finally..finally! I got it! For not even a third of it’s original price (even though I would have paid the original price, for remember, I am still a girl who’s vision is clouded by some silly colour obsession).
Apparantly I’m not the only one going through a yellow fase, but luckily some people got annoyed by all that yellow and wanted to get rid of it. Yay!
there is NOTHING as nice as this in Ikea here…it is lovely, I can understand how desperate you were to get it.
Well done you. It looks both cheery and stunning at the same time – a good combination in my book!
Wauw, suuuuper!! Een en al vrolijkheid, net als jij toen je ‘m eindelijk vond waarschijnlijk :)
Hee, en hetzelfde geel als mijn wolk, zie ik nu.
Zo(n) mooi!
Hey Marlous. Ik kom net pas je mooie blog tegen, via Zilverblauw. Geweldig hier. Ik kom zeker terug!
Groetjes uit Amsterdam, Julia
Thanks ladies! We love our sideboard soo much! I love how it almost seems to glow!
@julia: Leuk dat je er bent en welkom! Veel liefs van Marlous
Hij staat geweldig bij je: wat een team in combinatie met dat fantastische kleed!
Wooow..this is gorgeous! I’m in a yellow fase too… ;-)
Looks ace – I always wanted one too but I’ve never had the room. Good find and for so much less too! :)
