I could spend all day on Apartment Therapy and Design Sponge soaking up all of the amazing ideas and inspirational mojo! One of AT's regular posts consist of the latest finds on Craigslist- they find the best stuff! I scour my small town's craigslist regularly for such diamonds in the rough, but rarely turn up with anything worth throwing down this hard working girl's mint for. Still, occassionally I like to scrunch up my face and close my eyes really tight and make believe I am in NY or SF and have stumbled onto a DIY's paradise :) Above pictured is a couple of finds from my local CL- the midcentury sideboard is exactly what I've been looking for! I kinda even like the color, I would just need to replace the hardware. And the royale looking set of tufted chairs are in pretty icky shape, but with a deep cleaning and if I used a worthy fabric to reupholster (like the crimson damask printshowed on the right) I am confident my houseguests would be sitting pretty! What do y'all think?

Great finds! Love those chairs! Sideboard is great, too. But those chairs steal the show. Report Spam Posted by lavabunny at 2:42 PM on 03/04/10
Those chairs will look amazing when you have reupholstered them. Report Spam Posted by x0xsharicex0x at 11:44 AM on 03/05/10

Great finds! I am a craigslist fanatic! It's so much fun to get a great deal on unique items on CL and then reupholster/paint/repurpose them to fit your personality/needs! Report Spam Posted by sweeetkristen at 2:51 PM on 06/28/10
