Turning a $12 Find into $200! Thrift Store & Flea Markets - HOT Summer Days!

[@sdinsmoor]

Hello Karen. I am an interior designer. Your large brass lamp is a total score. Often, designers do not want or need matching lamps especially when you have a large show piece lamp as the one you found. I use to go to a designer showroom in Dallas that sold Arteriors to the design trade. You found a classic gem.

[@andreaschmall5560]

Some people seem to be stuck on particular items matching such as lamps and candleholders but I prefer singles. I generally don't even like the look of matchy matchy furniture such as pieces that are sold in sets.

[@bobbiellison4315]

​@@andreaschmall5560I'm the same I've never had matching lamps. Usually one on an end table then a nice floor lamp. In a bedroom maybe, but not a living/family room.

[@MycalaYT123]

[@lesliespradley8897]

Arteriors is a high end brand for sure. My daughter is an interior designer in L A . She has designed and styled many homes in Brentwood and she purchases a lot of brass and metal pieces by Anteriors . When I showed her your lamp she showed me pics of a home she did 2 months ago with a very similar Anteriors lamp that she bought second hand for $300 and hers was missing the finial . What a Great find 👏🏻👏🏻😁

[@dani7118]

Yes you're totally right. There's a showroom in LA which I have been in and the pieces in there are high end.

[@bobbiellison4315]

Yay! I'm so happy for her. I think it's amazing 😊

[@angelicac8383]

Yeah Karen said not having the finial (knob) was a dealbreaker but they are a few dollars at hardware stores. maybe not the exact one but certainly a shiny brass ball is available anywhere. Definitely not a deal breaker for me and in most cases the buyer won’t know or care that it’s not original.

[@vansmom123]

Oh my gosh, I was so excited when you found that arteriors. I worked in an extremely high end interior design company, and this was one of the brands we sold. Comps will be hard to find online though. These companies sold exclusively to designers back in the day. We used their MSRP. Good stuff! Yay!

[@catgardens]

Your voice and manner of speaking (and what you say) is soooo pleasant, you are my new favorite listening-while-listing channel!

Why do I watch Lavender Clothesline? Because you "chatter". LOVE listening to your thoughts and opinions and when you are sharing your knowledge. I love when something catches your eye. You are teaching me how to spot something in a crowd. You are so kind and gentle. Love your conversations with Roger. Your love for each other is SO visible. Don't change a thing. You are perfect just the way you are and why you are going to hit 100K before you know it. I can no longer get out for shopping, so it is a pleasure to go with you. Blessings to you both.

[@kathyaldridge7171]

The brass lamp with the brass finial by Arteriors was EVERYTHING. So glad you decided to get it. BTW, while we're on the subject of brass, VIRGINIA METALCRAFTERS brass metal products, are as nice as Baldwin. I have had a collection of brass candle holders by both companies since the 1980's and I can't tell them apart. Quality, color and weight are identical imo.

[@colleenbrown3366]

You called the lamp finial a "knob"...I love you so much!💕

[@bluebelle9572]

That was funny. When she said that I was thinking, such a nice lamp and the finial gets called a knob 😂😂💜

[@glendasully]

Karen knows it's a finial. I've heard her say it many times. She just has a lot on her mind while trying to hold a camera & film & talk, push a cart, etc

[@colleenbrown3366]

Well, Karen has forgotten more than I will ever know. I'm certain she is aware they are called a finial but was so excited by that lamp she just called it something else. So adorable! That lamp is epic and I will be looking for that name, Arteriors. I would have thought with that name the products would be kind of cheesy but I would be wrong. You don't know until you know.

Keep up the good work. ❤

Another GREAT episode! The huge hammered lamp you bought would be great repurposed as a vase full of Pampas Grass. I was so surprised that you didn't even notice the beautiful hand carved walking stick/cane next to the glass figurines you bought at Roots. I'm so glad you went back and bought the Cross Stitched Cat picture! When you went in your booth, I saw the white Southwestern Vase that I have been coveting for months. But when you left your booth, I didn't see it! Did you take it home so your could finally contact me to purchase it...eh? Sometime, you need to invite a viewer to livestream with you when you go to the big Goodwill (like me) because I go hoarse yelling at you about stuff you miss! lol...looking forward to your next episode!

Loved the Princess House lion and elephant. Also liked the blue quail. I have a cabin with a three season porch. I would buy the wall sconces with the mirrors. We lose power quite often and the mirrors disperse the light plus candles can help keep the chill off in back rooms. A candle with a sheet cookie tray helps too. There were so many nice items today. 😊

[@joycekoyama7959]

Hey Karen and Roger! Thanks for another enjoyable video. Just had a thought -- since it seems like consignment/antique store space is so in demand, why not purchase your own building, carve out the space you want, rent out the other spaces, and hire a manager? Business write-off, good income/investment opportunity, and added bonus--you could buy all the artwork you want that way! Blessings!

[@notnow7973]

Roger is such a kind and gentle person. Wonderful.

[@susanm9824]

I believe the dishware is pronounced Sango, with a hard g sound. There was a manufacturer at one time called Sanyo….perhaps that’s where the confusion is. Great video, as always!

[@CarlottaHall]

That brass lamp is gorgeous! All IT needs is a big juicy lampshade. If someone doesn't need a matching lamp for light, counter it with a big brass vase about the same dimensions as the lamp base; or a collection of brass/mixed brass decor pieces on a brass tray with one taller piece and one or two smaller pieces the same shape as the lamp (ginger jar, round vase, ball shape), in cloisonne or brass with inlay. What do you think?

I'm a designer in California. I use Arteriors quite a bit. They have a great line. You would not normally see them in a retail environment unless it was high-end. That was a fantastic score! Keep an eye out for Visual Comfort Lamps as well. You can tell them by their cloth cords and marking on the collar below the bulb:) Happy shopping.
