The Ones that got away...

For the last six months I have been on a desperate search for a bedside table. I can safely say I am having very little luck.

I am looking for something with the following qualities:

1. Mid Century design
2. Not too dark
3. Wood
4. Angled/shaped legs
5. A drawer

Surely this is not too much to ask! I have come across maybe four items that have ticked all of the boxes, all of which went for an unspeakable price. I was feeling very disheartened. 

And then I came across this pair of lovelies on Ebay...

I thought my prayers had been answered. With only 3 minutes to go they were still only £13.00. What a bargain! As the seconds crawled by I let myself believe they were mine. The bid I had made was large enough not to be upped in such a short time, surely?

No. Apparently not. Snaffled away from under my nose at just £1 more than my bid. Oh, how I loathe you ebay. 

My search continues.
