Fridays Finest

Here are my favorite Craigslist finds in the DC Metro area...

1960's Dining Set $500 for everything including the hutch and sideboard (a lot for a little and if you wanted, some sliver grey paint with yellow/cream chevron fabric would look pretty darn gorgeous)...

  2. Danielle...what browser are you using...if you don't mind me asking?

    My Technical Support (ie my really good and super helpful tech friend) told me encourage anyone viewing my blog to upgrade to one of the following:

    Google Chrome - download link (best)
    Firefox 3.6 - download link (more common, and third best)
    Opera - download link (second best)
    Safari - download link (Mac and Ipad users)
    or if they must, Internet Explorer 8 - download link (usually people who still use AOL addresses)

    Hope that helps!

  3. Particularly liked the yellow lamp base and gray and yellow shade. While combining these two colors isn't something that comes to mind--I'm thinking that I wouldn't immediately think of a yellow blouse to go with a gray suit...but somehow they create an aura of sophistication, especially in a contemporary setting.
