Default Your dream find

If you could find/source one item for your home what would it be?

I'm desperate for to find some large tea chests that I can turn into storage stools.
I'm also after a vintage coat and hat stand.

What are you always on the look out for?

Some gorgeous bedside tables.

I just can't find any I really love except some from a local shop and are about £700 each My OH always tells me to get them because I love them so much BUT I am hoping that one day I'll come across some equally or more beautiful from ebay or thrifting

It's just his catch phrase I'm afraid and a bit of meanness thrown in there I think! he is very handy to have about the house, but slow at getting things done.
