So here are my favorites on Craigslist in the DC Metropolitan area...
Glass/Brass Round Coffee Table and End Table $750 {i think one of these would be enough as a room can't handle too much fabulousness.}
Brass Chandelier $500 {a little traditional for my taste, but still very pretty}
Vintage Club Chairs and Lamp $30 {great price. you could also possibly wait on re-upholstery if the fabric is fine}
Antique Dressing Table $175 {gorgeous and price is right for an antique}...
Yellow Velvet Retro Chairs $350 {looks like they are in good condition, no need to reupholster possibly}
Fun Yellow French Dresser $190 {love this dresser and 10% proceeds go to a family in need whose daughter has cancer http://mylifeline.org/JulietFoster/ }
Design*Sponge featured the lovely dresser below months ago, which reminds me of the dresser above...

Antique Mirror $60 {how cool would this look above your sleek modern entry console}
Bedroom Set for Sale $100 {thanks Joan for sharing this with me the other day. incredible price for so many gorgeous pieces.}
Set of 6 Antique Occasional Tables $350 {first of all i love that they form a hexagon. second that tiger wood is just so stunning. third the price is right for this fabulous set. fourth if i had the money and space they would be mine. fifth i just wanted to say fifth}

Mid Century Italian Candelabrum $200 {it is just one. what does one do with one ;)? put it above a fireplace possibly}
Whatever one decides to do, I highly recommend you not put it above your bed like the people on CL did. Candles, wax and a heavy Candelabrum right above your head? I don't think so..
French/Italian Rococco Table $125 {let's put this in our sun room shall we}
And we could load the table top with plants...

Antique Coffee Table $25 {wow what a bargain and perfect for a small living room}
Antique Pair of French Ormolu Beds $1000 {yes expensive, but my guess is that they are worth a lot more and think how much you could spend on beds from Pottery Barn that aren't made out of solid hard wood. and these are just stunning.}...
Just look at that wood, if you painted these I would cry...
Two Lovely Antique Inspired Chairs $100 {great price}...
White Barcelona Chair $1000 {yes another expensive piece. offer less if you can't afford. remember there is no harm asking. just be polite.}
See how sexy the chair above could look...

Green French Chair $150 {i would probably ask for the awesome lamp too ;).}
Asian Round Table and Chairs $2500 {yes yes i know i have showcased some pretty pricey items this week, but please know that i just had to share these gems.}...
Maybe just get the chairs and do this...

Cool Vintage Desk $80 {have a girly pre-teen? paint this hot pink or salmon and she'd be thrilled}...
Original 1957 French Cointreau Prints $2700 {i'm feelin' guilty at this point, but i just love the colors in these vintage prints}...
Classic Yellow Sofa $250 {if it is really stained, then offer less}...
Now that you saved a bit on the sofa above, why not go ahead and reupholster...

Ornate Mirror $175 {take a friend to get this beauty}...
Not sure I would have the balls (just making sure you're paying attention) to paint the mirror above, but if I did I would do this...

Bedframe {i just had to share the bedframe that got away. i was too late and totally bummed}...
Brass and Copper Flamingo Sculpture $200 {just in case you were in the market for a brass flamingo.}...
Small Dresser $30 {this sad girl has potential}...
Go ahead and transform the dresser above into this piece of awesomeness by Bri at You Me and a Weiner blog...
Go here to see how she did it!
Pair of Ornate Antique Chairs $5500 {yes i am going to end on something totally ornate and ridiculously priced for craigslist, but i just love the legs on these girls.}
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! xx Danielle
Oh, I would take the 2 antique inspired chairs...at $100!! Great price! Take care, Caroline
ReplyDeletethanks for featuring emily's yellow dresser! i emailed her the link to see! :)
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend, danielle!
I am in love with that retro yellow chair, would love it in my office (that is still a dream in my head:))
ReplyDeleteThanks for featuring my dresser again. I wonder if Ikea still carries the same dresser in store? We don't have one nearby :(
ReplyDeletehi danille! thanks for the feature = )
ReplyDeleteBri...you did an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteCassie and Emily...it's a such a pretty dresser of course i wanted to share. actually, if you want to send me links every thursday, I would be more than happy to share every week!!!
I remembered the other blog you remind me of: http://www.younghouselove.com/ Be sure to click on the Projects tab.
ReplyDeleteThe authors were featured in the Washington Post and they are incredible. They also seem to have a fascinating relationship. My fiance is very sweet about always going with me on Craigslist finds, but always rolls his eyes and says I overpay on nearly everything. He works for an environmental non-profit, and agrees that re-use is better than buying new, but he thinks I'm a sucker for bad deals just because they're on Craigslist. He wants me to use Craigslist Free Stuff and http://freecycle.com/, but that's so much harder to use. But he's very good at repairing things in so-so shape, and he adores me, so I always end up getting my way. ;-)
