I think most of you have been to my home and therefore know that 90% of my home décor is made up of bargain finds and or craigslist items.
Now, I am not saying my house is the height of fashion. It certainly isn’t. I have made a few faulty compromises in my home, but all in all, I like my house. I like the feel of it. I like the flow of it. I love the fact that we don’t live on the main floor so most of the clutter {read: piles of crap} is hidden from visitor’s view.
And my dear friends, I have painted about 80% of my house by myself. (Including about 7 coats of red paint in my breakfast nook. Man was that a job!)
All that to say, I love decorating and I love color. Oh, and I love Craigslist!
Some of my most amazing finds have come from Craiglist.
Like this $40 armoire that fit the bill perfectly.
And this $60 baby crib.
(Yes, it does meet all safety requirements, and yes, it is totally convertable.)
And a $30 kitchen table and chair set that goes perfectly in my breakfast nook - that somehow I don't have a picture of. I am so remiss
I could go on and on.
But yesterday, I found the best deal ever.
And it wasn’t even for me.
Yesterday I found this!
And guess how much they are asking for this vintage set?!
$100
Oh.my.gosh.
And this screamed one of my friends names at me. SCREAMED. Like hearing voices in my head. Scary, yes. But good for her.
So, like any good friend, I emailed her.
ME: “Why does this remind me of you?”
HER: “MAYBE 'CAUSE IT'S AWESOME”
Conclusion, she and her fiancé are picking it up today.
See, it pays to be my friend. I spread good deals around.
