Movies, TV Shows in English

For those Expats from the USA who didn't know....I heart itunes.  It really is an Expat's bestfriend.  I ran into another American Expat today who was advising how much she missed all her favorite TV shows and I introduced her to the world of itunes.  It's not just for music downloads.

It's a great item to have downloaded to your computer, as you can rent/buy all the American movies and TV shows that are currently out.  You just need an USA credit card or itunes gift card from the USA.  You can download itunes to any computer here.

WOW, Found a cheaper version of my dream desk!

I previously wrote about finding my dream antique desk here.  I actually got the go ahead from hubby to purchase the desk for 800 CHF, but found out one of the legs had a crack in it.  Not worth getting a super heavy desk with a major crack in the leg.

I just found another desk/table with similar legs on anibis.ch of course for only 120 CHF!!!

Love this style of legs on a table and check out the leather inlay detail! 

Oh I am so in love, too bad I have sworn to not buy another piece of

furniture before we move, sniff, sniff...it's only 120 CHF and would

look so awesome as my new computer desk. Sniff.

Wonder if they have vintage tables like this in the USA for 120 bucks?

My Semi-New Lucite Etagère and Lucite Cart!

I previously posted about a lucite etagère I found on anibis.ch here.  I just picked up the etagère on Friday and also grabbed the matching lucite cart they were selling as well.  The lucite cart was in mint condition and the lucite etagère just has one scratch on it, but for the price I got both pieces for, I am not complaning.

 Please excuse how messy they are, I just reassembled them

together and threw all my stuff back on them,

 We live in a small flat in Lausanne, so furniture is kind of shoved up against

 each other.  I think the lucite shelves make the room feel not so cramped.

 I can not afford to purchase a new computer chair at the moment, so was

thinking of recovering the chair in the damask fabric in the picture below.

What do you think?

What a Rockin Chair and Stool Set!

Not a rocking chair, just a rockin chair, it's a happy green leather color, I love it!   It would still look pretty fab-u-lous for a while until you could get around to getting it reupholstered.  For only 150CHF in Lausanne, what a deal!

I found chair on anibis here.

Let me know if anyone buys it!

Lucite Etagère Anyone?

Hmmm was doing my daily browsing through anibis.ch and came across this lucite etagère:

Picture from www.anibis.ch

Can't decide if I love it or not.  I think it's cool, where would I put it, what would I put on it?  I have no idea.  But after surfing the net for other lucite etagères online, this is a bargain of a lifetime.  To buy or not to buy, what do you think?

Can't decide which one I like more, the snake print

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?
