Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I finished reading I Brake for Yard Sales!
I enjoyed all the before and after photos and I liked seeing how Lara incorporated all her finds in her and other people's homes.
I thought it would be nice to put most of my craigslist finds into one post and show you how I incorporated my finds into our home...

You have the greatest eye for this stuff! I love your x benches, and brass benches at the end of your bed. ( and lucite lamp, and campaign dresser, and Eames chair!) Seriously you have a gift for thrift- it's your good taste that is the secret!

I love all your finds and how you're incorporated them into your home! You have a good eye for good design and a talent in knowing how to use them. I love Craig's list ESP. When we lived in Chicago, a lot of good finds, but here in our area, unfortunately, not a lot of good stuff.
Happy hunting dear!
You have such mad skills!! That is my dream coffee table but they are always just a little too big. And I love that gold side table!! You are good girlfriend! :)
FABULOUS FINDS!!! You're good...I'm so impressed! Danielle
I Love all of your finds! I can't believe some of the stuff that you've scored - nice job!! Love it all!
I'm jealous that you're better friends with Craig then I am...he's just so much more mysterious with me..like he's holding back for some reason. hah!
Love the brass benches and the lucite lamp.

Seriously? My craig is full of awful barrel chairs in orange Tennessee vols vinyl and other monstrosities. I check it all the time but great finds are few and far between. You've found some great stuff - wish you were closer so I could rub your head!

Wow! I am seriously impressed. I cannot believe you found all of that on Craigslist. I check our Craigslist all of the time, but have never found anything like what you have found!
I love all of your transformations.
Wow- you have an amazing eye! I love the crystal chandelier and brass side table. They are all such beautiful pieces. Thanks for stopping by and following today! :)
That lucite floor lamp is the bomb!!! You really have the "craigslist gift" there:). I need to start looking!
You have definitely found some fabulous pieces. I havn't found anything, but I keep looking. Hugs, Marty
You're my hero! Love your blog and CL finds, I found you from Elizabeth @ Mustard Ceiling.

I need to peruse Craigslist with you. Maybe it's just not the same in different areas. Your finds are absolutely wonderful! I adore the gold shelves and the chandelier...well, all of it really!
I'm a new follower and look forward to more of your creativity.
Stop by and say hi when you can!

I am impressed. It is almost like the good items (with potential) find you. I am still waiting to make my first purchase on craigs list - some day. A new follower.
how oh how do you find such amazing deals? teach me the ways :)
The lucite lamp, lounge chair in the nursery, and settee are my favorites! I love the nursery and I also love the bathroom too that Elizabeth showed on her blog - I'll have to check out your post on the bathroom makeover. So glad to have found your blog - and so neat to see that you're friends with Dayka - I really admire her work as well.
Hi Charmaine - I came across your blog by reading about it on Dayka's blog. Love this turquoise dresser with gold trim! Looking forward to seeing more. Happy to be your 100th blog follower :)

hi! just found your blog & cannot believe the CL finds you have! your dining room with the panton chairs, etc. is flawless. i check Craig everyday & have found some good stuff, but nothing compared to yours! bravo.
Saw your dresser on Pinterest and had to stop by. It's a gorgeous color! You have a keen eye for great CL finds. Loved seeing this post with a bunch of them together.
I just discovered your blog through Recentlytheblog.com and just about looove your style! I'm a huge Craigslist fan and am SO impressed with your finds. Makes me want to scour Craigslist all day ;)
Loving your blog!! Is there any way you could post the paint color for the blue dresser that you put the brass hardware on? I would so appreciate it!!! Thanks so much,
Vikki
Can you share the color of the dresser? It's great.
