Fridays Finest Finds

I wasn't planning on doing a post today, but there are some seriously incredible finds on Craigslist in DC right now, so I had to share. For all of those that need some inspiration to redo their interiors in the new year, this is for you...

Black French Provincial Sideboard $95 (this gal is gorgeous and i have her dresser sister that i plan on painting as soon as the weather cooperates)

White Serpentine Dresser $25 (i like the white, but am not lovin' it...maybe some fun splash of color or maybe you already have color on your wall and need something fresh and light, for this price it's a steal)

Dining Table and 4 Chairs $50 ($50 for all...you can't go wrong with this price...donate the chairs if you don't like, but they look comfy to me)

I see chairs above in a room like this...

Metal/Glass Coffee Table $20/ Ikea Chairs $25/each (sleek sexy coffee table, simple chairs...add a sofa in grey velvet, paint your living room white, get a black/white striped rug from ikea and you have an awesome living room for next to nothing)

Large Victorian Gilt Mirror $500 plus %15 off in Antique shop (this lovely piece has been on CL for quite some time...it's just sooo gorgeous and i think a pretty fair price for being an antique in great condition)

The mirror above could look stunning in any room, even a bathroom...

Pottery Barn 3x5 Moorish Wool Rug $40 (perfect splash of color for a kids room)

Pink Arm Chair $75 (i have the strongest urge to rescue this sad girl...she need some serious tlc. i might not even re-upholster her and just keep her in my bedroom all raggedy like the velveteen rabbit...she'll be my love, a connection to a past life. i want to know her history, how many books were read on her or movies watched. you know, i think that is why i love second hand pieces...they have a story to tell and i love that.)

Deep Orange Ikea Desk $150 (awesome color and fabulous for a sofa table, console or desk...would look fabulous against grey or even blue walls)

Here's an inspirational image for the desk/console above, it's taken from House and Garden's Guide to Interior Design...

Black Wingback Chair $175 (it's upholstered in black vinyl, not my favorite, but great for kids because very easy to clean)

Below is an image by Sixx Design, a hip design company, and the chairs in the photo are upholstered in vinyl, something they do a lot, especially since they have 7 kids, so if you get the chair above you can say you were inspired by Sixx Design...

2 Black Lacquer Chairs $400/pair (so chic, maybe not the most comfortable)

These chairs would look hot in a room painted this color...
