Occassionally I find myself browsing through listings, even when I'm not looking for something specific. If I come across a well-priced item, it will most likely come to live with us...in our basement...until I find a "home" for it. ;)
You guys might remember that scenario happened with the campaign furniture I stumbled upon {yup, still untouched in our basement}...and now, it's happened again.
These two mid-century beauties will be alllll mine {for only $100} come Saturday! I cannot wait. LOOK AT THOSE LEGS!
CANNOT RESIST. Anyone else a sucker for a great piece of Craigslist furniture?!?!
These are awesome!!!! Craigslist in the DC area can be disappointing...if the item is good the seller knows it and prices accordingly :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindsay!! A lot of items are definitely overpriced on Craigslist around here (NJ), but occassionally I'll find someone who doesn't know what they are getting rid of...and I hop on it!!
DeleteThat's amazing!! I can never seem to find anything on CL. And the other thing that sucks is that we both drive Sedans....so on the off-chance that I have ever found something I like, the seller wouldn't deliver even if I paid for it. Boooooo!
ReplyDeleteWe both have sedans too...but this deal was too good to pass up. Normally, I ask if the seller can drop it off {which has happened a couple times for me}, but this time we are borrowing our friend's SUV to pick it up. Thank gosh for good friends! :)
DeleteAmazing! Those are great finds! Craigslist isn't very big out here, so it's hard to find anything good. Can't wait to see what you do with these!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any good thrift shop or goodwill stores around me...so Craigslist is my only shot! Thanks Rachel! :)
DeleteThese are awesome! Although I don't think it's fair that you got both the campaign furniture AND the mid-century modern furniture. Great finds!!!
ReplyDeleteSarah
Thanks Sarah!! Hehe...I know, I got VERY lucky!! ;)
Deleteyummmmmy. Love those legs. ;)
ReplyDeleteMe too...mmmhmmmm!!
DeleteBeautiful!!! I looooove mid century modern furniture! Great find!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine...me too! My favorite! :)
DeleteSO nice! I'm very jealous right now because I'm on the hunt for a piece of furniture from Craigslist. One day...
ReplyDeleteI hope you find it, and soon!! :)
Deletethose are sexy legs!!! i am a sucker for a good deal too when it comes to this stuff!
ReplyDeleteRight?!?! Looooove.
DeleteI need to start looking on CL! I bet those would look so awesome revived or even in a bright color! I know you will work your magic on them!
ReplyDeleteYes, doooo it! I'm not sure what direction I want to go in yet, but I will definitely do something to make the legs stand out from the rest of it. I'm unreasonably excited about these pieces haha.
DeleteOooooooooooooo, fun! I banned myself from Craig and his list awhile back. I feel myself headed back to the dark side because of your pretty gateway dressers...
ReplyDeleteBAHAHA! Come over to the dark side, Michelle. You know you want to!! ;) {I have no problem being your CL enabler. Sorry Nate.}
DeleteMe! I'm a sucker for Craigslist furniture. It is one of my obsessions. Most of my blog's facebook page is dedicated to sharing local (Baltimore/Washington D.C.) Craigslist goodies. So excited for your little wooden beauties!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! There is some great stuff to find on there. :)
DeleteI am always on the look out on CL, but people here have not so pretty things, and those not so pretty thing are way over priced. I recently saw someone else on bloggy world redo a dresser with those same exact legs, and I absolutely fell in love with the piece, now I just need to find one so I can join the club.
ReplyDeleteOh man...I hope you can come over to the dark side with us very soon! :)
Delete$100 for those two?!! That's amazing!!! I know you will give them a sweet little makeover :) I love CL, as you know!
ReplyDeleteAck, I'm so excited! Yuppers, you definitely love it too! :)
DeleteWe are both Craigslist suckers! I came across a wine fridge last night and told D I'd be turning that into my night stand. (chug a lug) Great score, lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteHahaha...it's hard not to be! Ummmm, that's a phenomenal idea. I think it's a must have. ;)
DeleteAwesome price!!! Can't wait to see what you do with them :) xo Kristin
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristin!! :)
DeleteGREAT find! I am crazy with craigslist. I would buy so many things if I had a pick up truck, lol.
ReplyDeleteThose are really nice dressers; I know they are going to look amazing in your beautiful home =)
I'm with you...thank goodness we don't have a truck because I'd have a whole lot more stuff than we do now haha! Aw, thanks so much, Kelly! :)
DeleteThose are great pieces. We drove by a storage place that was having reduced rates and my husband said "we should get you a storage place then you can buy all the things you want." I still can't decide how to take that. I love looking at craigslist. I need to buy a house with a lot of rooms so I can furnish them with great finds.
ReplyDeleteHaha...I love that I'm not the only one who finds it so hard to resist a good deal! ;) Thanks so much for stopping by, Anne! :)
DeleteGorgeous! And both for $100! What a deal!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with them! :)
Thanks Ashley!! :)
DeleteI am just a sucker for mid-century modern architecture and furniture. Two great pieces!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy I'm not the only one! ;)
DeleteThose are pretty awesome pieces Gabbi!! I hope Saturday goes super smooth for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Crystal...it definitely went well, we met the sweetest elderly couple! :)
DeleteOh man, I can't wait to see what you do with them!!! FUN!
