Mid-Century Trolley

Unfortunately all holidays come to an end. My last purchase for the holidays was a fantastic mid century auto (or drinks) Trolley. Auto trolleys are more commonly seen in dark timber with turned legs. I did already have a beautiful Art Deco Trolley that is now for sale on eBay. See the two pictures to compare styles. Which one do you like better? I love both of them, but the retro style is my new passion and fits into my living room style. I hope someone buys the art deco one and loves it though.

Art Deco Trolley

The art Deco Trolley I bought last year at Abbey's Auctions. The mid-century trolley I bought last weekend at The Second Hand Shop. I had seen the trolley on their website in the previous weeks and really liked it. However, it wasn't until I read a tweet Saturday morning about them having a sale with 10-20% off most items, that I had the sudden urge to drive an hour across the other side of Melbourne to see if they still had it. After parting with $200 I had the trolley and was heading home. I have a few "barenalia" things on the trolley. As you can see I like amber glassware (amongst many other things).
