Fridays Finest

domino-magazine-jan-09-419x520
Domino

Jeanine Hays, of AphroChic, recently posted about this Domino image, stating that it was the inspirational photo that launched AphroChic.  And I remember it fondly...the cheerful chairs, clean lines, white walls mixed with a few antiques and the adorable little girl. Anyway, it now has inspired me to do a Craigslist Finest post on it. All of the comparable's below are on DC's Craigslist and if you would like the link, just post a comment...

Gorgeous mirrored coffee cross table $300 (i love this coffee table and because it looks too dark i would spray paint it in silver...metallic spray paints don't come in low voc, so please remember to spray outside)

Crate and Barrel Sofa $550 (almost the exact match...can you see it???)

Solid Organic Cotton Pillow from Fabricadabra on sale for $25 (fabricadabra carries fabulous inexpensive organic pillow covers)
OC021 Solid organic cotton pillow cover Raspberry

Pair of French Provincial Armchairs $380/pair (a few coats of Ben Moore Dove White will transform these chairs...remember to do it before you take it to the upholsters)

Re-upholster the above chairs in Rubie Green East Village Upholstery Fabric $90/yard (instead of stripes...how about fun chevron and you will only need about 4 yards or less)
East Village

Silhoutte Black and White $90 (AphroChic's awesome pillows will add some comfort to the chairs above)
Silhouette Black & White
A side note of interest, AphroChic is on sale until Monday:
AphroChic Black Friday Sale!

Round wood side table $90 (simple, clean and useful)

Wooden Table Lamp $5 (uh...incredible price, just get rid of the shade and buy a black drum shade)

Spray paint the above lamp in this:
Krylon H20 Yellow Sea Spray Paint $4.99/can (the H2O line is lower in VOC and I use it all of the time b/c it doesn't smell as bad and is latex based, instead of oil like all spray paint)

Fun and Modern Chandelier $129 (not exactly like the one above, but totally cool don't you think?)

Large Silver/White Mirror $75 (simple and clean...excellent accompaniment to the rest of the space and great price)

Rugs: It is rather difficult to find good rugs on Craigslist, so I would recommend a cotton or wool rug in lieu synthetic.

Madeline Weinrib Golden Rod Cotton Rug (okay, since you have saved a fortune from buying on CL, then why not spend a pretty penny on a gorgeous Madeline Weinrib rug...need to contact for details)

West Elm Andalusia Rug 8 x 10 $459 cotton/wool (a fairly inexpensive comparable)
Andalusia Rug

And for the wall art, how about a hot pink feather boa spun around a piece of round cardboard.
