The drawer attached to the small table is an old telephone table. You would sit on the low end-bench- and the phone sat on the drawer where you would keep the phone book. Very commonly found in the entry hall of houses.
I had a few of those pieces of furniture in my house growing up; some with a drawer, and some with just a shelf. I always thought they were just a fancy end table; I had no idea they had a specific purpose and name. Thanks for sharing!
i love how you guys communicate with this lovely mixture of english and german, it's super cute :D also, your german has improved so much :) and the things you bought are very cute as well. hope you had a nice few days on your short vacation!
A good and sustainable way of making a mosaic table is to reuse old pottery or ceramic plates. You can first crash them and then reuse it. Saw it somewhere on youtube. ☀️
The best part about shopping in person is being able to touch everything! I love the little side table you got. If you want to keep the original color, something like restore-a-finish could work. Otherwise you may need a varnish stripper because of how many nooks and crannies the table has.
The frog doing yoga at 11:35 had me rewind to look at it again 😂 I would have had to bring the little tabletop spinning wheel home, my fibrecraft home needs it. (Also Hello to Pat's Norwegian flag tshirt, that's where I live!)
Loving these vlog style videos interspersed with a bunch of clips in your classic style ❤ For refinishing something with intricate carvings, you could take it to a local place that does sand blasting. It will preserve the piece and you can refinish easily :D
Love your diy videos, it feels very motivating and relatable! I’m a fellow Singaporean who recently relocated to the Netherlands with my husband and I stumbled upon your channel while looking for inspirations to furnish our place. I also enjoy going to the thrift shops here (also like the secretary desks so many of them!). Looking forward to more video uploads! 😊
I haven't finished the video yet but I just want to say your videos are always so relaxing. Und ein großen Kompliment von mir dein deutsche Aussprache ist richtig gut und man merkt eindeutig, dass du dich verbessert hast. Und deine Begeisterung für die ganzen schönen Sachen ist ansteckend.
I love your videos! Very inspiring ❤️ atmosphere, all these shops with furniture from the past centuries, I dream of organizing such trips in search of treasures. All the things you bought are insanely beautiful. ❤❤❤
I have a very tiny vase piece of pottery with aqua colored glaze. It is so small, about two inches high, that it must have been put together with very miniscule tweezers or such. I bought it at a craft fair in Connecticut USA about thirty years ago. I wish I had bought a bigger item from the man seller because I'm sure his other things were beautiful, I just can't remember! He signed the bottom with Asian,letters, I assume?? I covet it!! 😻👍
I refinish furniture and live in the United States. I would use a chemical stripper and brass brush for all the details. It’s not that hard but must be done outside and with goggles and chemical gloves. You paint it on and wait and then agitate it with the brush. Sometimes you do it a few times. If you are interested I could explain in greater detail.
Yayyy so glad to see there you posted a video this morning, I always love me a good Hill's video ! Thanks for taking us with you on your trip🥰 no idea how to refinish the side table but would also be interested in knowing !
I have a dining table with intricate legs like the ones on your side table and what I opted for was to just refinish the table top and then paint the legs so I don't have to sand each groove and around round edges on the legs. If you are not married to keeping the wood tone, painting the table a lighter beige or tan would look lovely and highlight the details on the table even more.
Yours are my favourite videos, always interesting and beautifully filmed and edited. I love jugs too and have to pick up and examine them all even though I have no reason to buy them.
12:17 this kind table probably for those old telephone ☎️ , you sit as you answer or call someone, I have those kinda table at my house, although mine is bigger and the height is normal, like sofa but has table attached to it.
Love that you visited my hometown. ♡ Of course you had to visit idee creativ. It's an institution here. Check out the Gebrauchtwarenhof, too (next time). It's a bit shoddy, but I found some pretty cool stuff there.
What a lovely video! My partner and I just got out ever fist house and I’m looking forward to thrifting lots of nice second hand shops in our region (South of the Netherlands). Your video was very inspiring - thanks for sharing so many beautiful things! ❤
I found my couch in the thriftstore in Fürth. Amazing quality for its age. Also Veitsbronn (a small village near Nuremberg) has a thriftstore (also Arche activ) with great old furnitures.
Very nice pieces, all of them. I especially like that adorable little table. It's in really great condition and I would leave it as is, in it's natural state.
Me encanta la estética de tus videos y tu estilo .. buenas adquisiciones me encantó los jarrones y el cuadro del bodegón. Un saludo desde Bogotá Colombia ❤
Whenever I go vintage shopping I take the small mindfulness book "30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic" by Harper Daniels to keep myself from spending my good budget hahaha
Πολύ όμορφη βόλτα και ωραίες αγορές. The glass coasters νομίζω ότι είναι είναι πιάτα του γλυκού κουταλιού ( φρούτα σε σιρόπι)... Περιμένω να δω τις αλλαγές στην κουζίνα 🪷💐
Heyy just wanted to stop by to say that I live in Nürnberg^~^ It feels so weird to see my home town in your video cause I’m a big fan of yours and your style!💗 You sparked so much inspiration in me! Your videos helped me to make my first own Appartement feel like home😊 Yeah.. that’s all I wanted to say😅 just makes me happy to see that you were in Nürnberg 💕✨ Did you, by any chance, stop by in the Lush Store in Nbg?
Adoro visitar lugares como brechós e vendas de peças antigas também, obrigada por nos mostrar, tudo muito lindo, aquino Brasil sempre compro peças assim e reformo, seu canal tem me dado muitas ideias, obrigada po isso também, você é uma pessoa muito fofa , continue sempre assim, obrigada e beijos ❤💋🍀
Hi, I am Sonia from India. I always watch your videos really it's wonderful. Really I learn a lot even I am also very found of makeover home but in less budget. I learnt from you a lot. Thanks a lot. eagerly waiting your next video. 🙏🙏👍👍
I know you are itching to put your own mark and the picture frames and the cute little table... but I wouldn't. Do not "improve" on the already beautiful! The reason you were attracted to them is because of it.
hello, 🇯🇵I'm enjoyed your video👍 I love your DIY and organizing video🧹🔨 I'm suvscrived your channel☺️ I'm looking for your video! from japan, thank you!
Those are not glass coasters.😂😂😂😂Is similar to all European countries I presume. The purpose is to serve fruit sweets that were homemade by grandmothers and mothers all over Europe.. My mother used to make the grapefruit peal and turned it into a deliscious homemade sweet with syrup. The furniture with the drawer and the seat is called 'gossip seat' because is were they put the telephone set'rotary'one back in the old days when cell phones didnt exist and normaly the housewives had a seat and gossiping. This is why is called 'gossib seater'. Most probably you didnt have it in your culture. Thank you for taking us with you in NUREMBERG and thrifting. Good buys.
Where are you from? I'm German. My grandparents have been using them as coasters since I can remember. When I paid visits to my friends' places, they were used as coasters too. The ones used to serve sweets are slightly bigger. Also she's saying the german name of Nuremberg - Nürnberg.
