That's the simple prayer I said as we started our thrift store search this evening. About an hour later we walked out of Southern Thrift with this matching set of two end tables and a coffee table, each for only $4.99! We bought them because of their mid-century modern look and decent condition.(Our house begs us to replace our IKEA goods with real atomic jewels.) A gentle sanding and some lemon oil will go a long way. Once at home, Jason started cleaning them up while I googled the maker (stamped inside the drawers): American by Martinsville. Turns out each piece is worth anywhere from $100 to $500. Talk about an answer to prayer! Thank you Lord!! As tempting as it is to resell them, I think we just might keep them.
Tomorrow, once they're all cleaned up and sitting in their new positions in the living room, I'll take more pictures.

Southern Thrift is awesome! Kristin and I are always finding great finds there!
Wow--these are amazing! I wish I lived a little closer to this store.
I just found your great blog! Can't wait to see more of your house. I love it!
Those are great! I have a corner table that matches this set and I have always wanted another piece to go with it. It does not have any markings on the bottom but now I know what to look for.
