CRAIGSLIST MONDAY: MY CRAFTY HOME LIFE

Hi Everyone! I'm pleased to have Linda here today.  Like me, she has a knack for finding great deals on Craigslist.  She's also the most thoughtful blogger I know.  Thanks Linda, for guest posting for me today!  Check out her great finds...
Hello Craigslist-aholics. I'm Linda from the blog My Crafty Home Life, and I am addicted to Craigslist. 
Charmaine and I are able to be friends because we don't live near each other. If we did live near each other we would definitely be scouting many of the same finds. I would like to think that I could beat her to it.....but I have a feeling I would be the one receiving the "sorry, it's no longer available" emails instead.

Let me show you some of the Craigslist goodies I was able to find. 
I found an antique bed 

I painted it, and then upholstered it for my daughter. 

She is actually ready to have it made over again.....Teens!
I found these great mirrors.....it is so hard to find a pair of anything

I painted them and placed them over dressers in my master bedroom.

You can see the rest of my master bedroom here. 

I hit the Craigslist lottery with this coffee table

You can read about the estimated value here. 

My most recent purchase is this Altar table.

You can read about it, and weigh in on the vote here. 

I love Craigslist for the obvious reason....furniture has no re-sale value. Unless it is a fine antique, just like a car, as soon as you take it home it has depreciated. 

Here is my biggest secret weapon for Craigslist hunting... this iPhone app.  I usually hunt while I am waiting for the kids to get out of school. Now you know my biggest secret and if you live in New Jersey....I was kidding, I don't do any of this.

Thanks for having me, Charmaine.
