CRAIGSLIST MONDAY: MY FINDS


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...

  1. 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!

  2. 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!

  7. 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!

  8. 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.

  15. 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!

  18. 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.
