This weeks “flea market finds” is brought to you by someone who helped me find an antique of my dreams. This flea market find was actually located already in someone else’s shop, in a different state, & no where near me.. but thankfully I have a good friend who made my dream come true…
Rewind to last week as I was browsing instagram… I saw my friend Joy Savvy City Farmer post an amazing piece of furniture. Naturally I texted her to tell her how much I loved it and it and to my shock it was for sale & she offered to deliver it. YES PLEASE! The funniest part? When I texted her about the furniture she was shopping for Cope because she was sending a box out for us on Monday… how funny is that? Fast forward to this weekend… her husband and her drove up here to Michigan to deliver this beast & I’m quite obsessed with it already!
What is it? It’s an antique pine cabinet linen press from the 1800’s. It’s in amazing shape & I have some big plans for it. Where is it? It’s currently in our front living room because it’s a super heavy piece. So we didn’t make it past the front door with little help. What are my plans for it? My plan is to have it in our master bedroom as a closet for Jose & I as all of those drawers in the cabinet doors pull open… epic organization. & let’s not even talk about all the amazing drawers at the bottom of the piece. Won’t this pine cabinet make a great wardrobe? We will have to have help getting it up the stairs soon. For now, it’s sitting in the living room & I’m not mad about it because I can stare at it all day.
I haven’t been to a flea market in a few weeks so my flea market finds have been low. But I’m thankful for friends who find flea market finds for me like this week & this on [HERE] from last week. I hope you all love seeing more of these because I share them weekly! THANK YOU so much for stopping by the blog today & every single day to see what we are up to! xx
I love the linen press. I had one and gave it to my daughter, it was always my favorite piece.
It sure is stately! Do you think you will refinish it?
Congratulations on all your recent success. Can’t wait to get your book in September!
Have a good week!

Congrats—on a fantastic piece of furniture—-much like a cool wardrobe that we once had at the farm.
Ours held old quilts, tablecloths, and other vintage linens. It was great fun leaving the doors open to
we could enjoy the “pretties.: Plus, we sat an old Amish rocking horse on the top of the cabinet.
I know you will have great fun for years with your treasure.
Such a beautiful, timeless piece! It will make a fantastic wardrobe. I love the craftsmanship of it. The interior drawers are absolutely stunning. Just beautiful beautiful beautiful!
SO gorgeous!!!
OMG that is stunning! Can’t wait to see it in person.
It is a lovely piece. I would like to see a video of you getting it up the stairs, that will be rough.
Wow! What a beautiful piece! I’ve been on the hunt for a show-stopper like that one for my recently updated master bedroom. I hope I’m able to find one similar to yours! Can’t wait to see it in your room.
Shes a beauty?? Will he be able to reach up to those top shelves? I only mention it because I’m only 5.1 and am always noticing those things. I have stools everywhere. Beautiful find friend??♀️
Wow, what a beauty this piece is! You are sure to get a lifetime of enjoyment out of this linen press! What a huge blessing to have it hand delivered to you!
Please don’t it is so beautiful the way it is
That is gorgeous! What a find for sure. Good luck getting it up the stairs in one piece. It does look very comfortable placed there if the stairs don’t accommodate it.
How lovely! I’ve been searching under armoire, never thought of looking for a linen press, hopefully I can find one that’s even half as nice as this one, even if I have to work at it to get it there!
What a beautiful piece!
DO NOT PAINT THIS!!
Oh what a gorgeous piece! I just love seeing the many finds you Bri h into your home! This would be stunning anywhere you put it!
Beautiful piece! Looks really nice against the white walls! So rich!!
She will, and then eventually get rid of it.
Thank you for your purchase. I hope you enjoy it for years to come! Karrin- Steeplechase Antiques, Barrington, IL
