Finest Finds in DC on Tuesday
I just can't neglect DC and since I've been working for a few people in the area I have noticed some great stuff that I just wanted to share with you all. So here are few items that I think are the best of DC's Craigslist right now...
Large Unique Rattan Screen $95 {for the bohemian chic look. could paint too.}...
The screen above would look pretty in white...
Or you could paint it blue and use as a headboard...
Mid century modern/ retro lamps $100/pair {great color and have shades which is nice.}...
Coffee Table with Map $20 {for the worldly type.}...
Make the above screen into a romantic headboard as evidenced below...
Danish Teak Lounge Chair $750 {yes i know expensive, but man is it gorgeous.}...
French Blue Velvet Chair $149 {great color. would add that fun pop of color to your living room.}...
The side tables above would look equally glamorous as the bedside tables in the image below...

You could transform the desk above into something chic like this desk from The New Traditionalists...

I know it's not exact, but new knobs and a snake print on the drawers would really make the CL desk look great.

Four Cane Chairs $150/all {great shape. you would have seriously unique chairs. i see them painted black}...

Fridays Finest Finds
I am beginning to feel like I have multiple personalities with these two blogs ;). Once again my Fridays Finest Finds are over at The Queen of Craigslist. I 'traveled' to Albany, New York this time to find the best of (in my humble opinion) Craigslist there.
Here is just one of many inspirational images...

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Before & After (Julia's bedside tables)
Julia, a friend and subscriber to Fresh Quince, recently bought 2 bedside tables off of Craigslist for $20 in Portland. The were identical and looked like this...
That is until she did her magic and transformed them into these...
She painted the base a rich dark forest green and used a pretty contact paper for the drawer front and also lined the drawer with the same contact paper...
For the other bedside table she painted it the same color, but chose a different yet equally gorgeous contact paper for the drawer front and inner liner...
And a close up...
Brilliant job Julia! They look great and I love that red rug!
