Brass Table Finds in VAUD!

Ok so I am still on the hunt for the perfect brass table, chic and cheap. So this means something 2nd hand. See my previous post regarding my inspiration rooms using brass tables here.

I searched on http://www.anibis.ch/ today and these are my brass table finds:

This brass table here is only 80CHF in Geneva. Simple

straight lines, very modern. I like it.

These brass nesting tables are 100CHF in Crissier here. Althought I

would def talk them down in price and replace the dark glass with
either reflective glass or clear. Use a little Franglish.

This vintage looking brass bar cart is only 100CHF in
Lausanne here. Looks like it's in excellent condition.

This lucite, glass and brass table here, is in Geneva for 250CHF.

Very modern, chic and would go with almost any decor. Love it!
I have seen these new for 1k or more around VAUD area.

This brass and marble table is only 70CHF here! Located in Geneva.

This one is my favorite! Does the elephant come with it? If so SOLD!

This table is only 30CHF in Gland here. Yes it's really

only 30 CHF as it's being sold at a second hand non

profit shop, bet they don't realize how instyle it is...

What do you think? Would you add some brass to your room?

Swiss Fun Friday Find

I was browsing through Elle Decor rooms online and came across this photo and thought that Lucite coffee table sure did look familiar around here in Switzerland.

I shop at http://www.pfister.ch/ and http://www.interio.ch/ all the time and came across these very similar coffee tables right here in Switzerland, but these are clear heavy glass coffee tables, not magenta lucite. Still a fabulous find!

This table at Pfister for 499.00chf

This same but slightly smaller coffee table from Interio for 398.00 chf A bit more expensive, but love this design better at Interio for 649.00 chf

Have a good weekend!

The USA has Craigslist.com and Switzerland (VAUD) has Anibis.ch!!!

http://www.anibis.ch/ I love you!


I have been living in Switzerland for years and I have gone without adult furniture for years (oh yes was still using all my college furniture up until recently). One, because decent furniture is so expensive here and two, because most all furniture stores only have one style of furniture – MODERN!

My wonderful friend Sophie introduced me to http://www.anibis.ch/ in April this year and I fell hard, it was love at first sight. There were just pages and pages of vintage and antique furniture that people were trying to get rid of at great prices, I am sure, to use the money to go shopping at IKEA. No really, read a few posts that people literally wrote in French mind you, “need to sale quick to have money to buy sofa from IKEA.” IKEA is like Disneyland here, don’t go right after the holidays or on weekends…you will find no parking and stand in line for hours.

Here are a few items I have bought so far from Anibis:

Below is a tufted vintage velvet green sofa in mint condition that I purchased for a major bargain.

It came with two wing chairs, which I currently have in my bedroom.

I have plans to reupholster it myself soon. Will document the process.

Below was my first anibis purchase, a gueridan is what the man called it in French.

I have plans to reupholster it as well.

The next two pictures are of a solid wood carved bench I paid for 30 francs!

Needs a few touch ups here and there, but otherwise is in great condition.

I currently have the bench in my entrance hallway.

I just love mixing Granny furniture with more modern pieces!

As I see it, no one else in Switzerland in my age group seems to want anything but modern furniture. So I am here to buy as many vintage Swiss items as I can fit into my flat and give it a loving home.
