::craigslist

I don't know about you, but I'm constantly scouring through craigslist for bargain furniture. Here are a couple of my current favorites:

Mosaic table and 6 chairs - I would Love a yellow mosaic tile table for my back patio. I would feel better about the purchase though if it were a covered patio.

Coffee table/End table set - Not quite my taste, but something about this pottery barn-esque table jumped out at me. I think I just like how simple it is. I'm a sucker for some baskets too...The end tables match.

Antique dresser - I'm seriously thinking about buying this piece for my dining room to use as a buffet instead of the white/butcher block piece I have now. Yes, you guessed it- I would probably paint it grey and wallpaper those doors and change out the hardware. So cute!

Ikea dining room set - Totally overpriced at $900. Definitely would not pay that much for Ikea furniture (esp secondhand) but it looks great. Very cute and easy to fit into various types of decor.
Buffet - I know, I know...this is not something I'd go pick out in a store...and I'd definitely talk them down in price...but this is a great looking Mid century modern looking piece. The wood color just adds to the "vintage" look about it, so that would stay. I would definitely put some fabric up the back of that top piece so it would show. I think I'd add/switch out the hardware too and call it a day.
Pottery barn bench - I thought about where I could put this in my house for a couple minutes last night. I just can't think of anywhere...ooh, maybe upstairs... : ) I love the custom yellow cushion with the black. Soo pretty.

Ikea dining table - Now this is about what I would expect to pay for an Ikea dinette set. I love a good pub table and the stools that come with this are darling! Not what I would need for my space, but it's really cute!


Well, hope you've enjoyed! Keep searching out there. You never know what you'll find on the cheap!
