In the next installation of Found It!, I bring you the Vintage Industrial Peg Leg Cart ($799) from American Furnishings. You may have seen this cart used as a coffee table in the boho-modern living room of a couple living in Malmö in my Coveted Crib. In my post, I wrote, "I also adore their coffee table, which looks like a re-purposed dolly (with wheels) of some sort." Apparently, I adored it so much that when I saw decor8 and sfgirlbybay's posts about American Furnishings, I immediately recognized it. Funny thing, the Malmö home was originally featured on decor8, and once again in a post about the couple's previous apartment. For more details, and to see this charming old cart up close, read more

American Furnishing's "Vintage Industrial" collection is comprised of "found objects in abandoned factories repurposed into useful everyday items." For example:

Work benches from a decrepit Packard Motor Car plant become a kitchen island. Steel part carts from a General Motors plant in Detroit become rolling liquor cabinets. Long forgotten wooden foundry objects become "high art" when placed on metal stands or hung on a wall. Large metal shoe racks from a foreclosed Ohio factory become book shelves.

The steel Vintage Industrial Peg Leg Cart is said to have been found in Middle America, but no other specifics are given in the product listing. Since the living-room cart lives in Sweden, it'd be interesting to hear about its origins. In another life, before Samantha and Grant found it worthy of their home, where did it come from and how was it used?
