You are SO UGLY but I lust after you

We are really lucky we do not have a garage.

I now have the home decorators bug!

Serious I LOVE CRAIGSLIST I LOVE IT

And now I have a confession? I now use it to find UGLY furniture and lust after what I could turn it into!!



This little gem... Would need a good sanding and some white or black paint with some new modern hardware?
On OHHH she is SO, SO ugly but she could be SO beautiful with all that character?

I would paint the wood black and reupholster her with this
And this little pretty... She would be so fabulous in something bold! Like Tiffany blue?



Oh the ideas in my head. I would not use any of these in my home though it would all be to resell. But all of these pieces are selling for ONLY $50!!

I have issues..

I will post the winners of the Fabulous giveaway later tonight!

Is this guy naked?

So I have confessed my love of Craiglist.

I love the site, we sold so many things and now that we are settled I am looking to pick up a few pieces.

So far in our move I have landed a BEAUTIFUL hutch for the kitchen for storage and a dinning room buffet that the hubby HATES, he even offered to pay to have the delivery guy drop it down the stairs. (story coming on that)

While I was persusing furniture on the site this picture was interesting?



Look closely? At the reflection in the tv... Is that guy sitting on the couch NAKED?

Some people....

Craiglist Love Part 2

So I told you about my love for Craiglist

Well it continues

I have been able to pawn off (tee hee) all the stuff we are no longer using with almost no pain.

And the BIGGEST score ever?

Well I was perusing (cause I love it) I found MY DREAM BED!

Really we have been wanting a Sealy Posterpedic King size Memory foam mattress FOREVER, but really the $3000 price tag was a little out of our league.

Well LOVELY craiglist had a posting for $600!!

But I thought eww someone elses mattress...

So I called anyways, turns out this lady works for Dillards and they bought the bed AND IT DID NOT FIT! STILL HAS TAGS ON IT!!

I may have squealed in glee and I offered $300 (gotta try right?) although it was a GREAT deal and I went to check it out and its BRAND friggin new and he countered with $400!!!

Oh and the best part? 20 YEAR WARRANTY!! AND THE RECEIPT TO SEND IN THE WARRANTY!!

Really who's a lucky girl?

AND he is delivering it. For free!

I love you Craiglist **sigh**

Craigs List love!

So now we know we are moving. We have quotes from the movers (AKKK so expensive but less than what we both thought) so now we purge.

We had decided to get rid of our couch and love seat because we would BOTH love a new one, We have had it for almost 7 years, its been good to us. And we have been fairly gentle to it too.

Soooo Just testing the waters I posted them to Craigslist (which I heart btw) and within MINUTES I had about 4 emails about it. Within the hour someone committed to buying them (but it fell through but I am not worried)

And we also posted tires that came off the hubbys car last year when he bought fancy smancy rims and new tires.

Those were gone in 1 hour too!

We also have side stands and a coffee table just cheap from Target maybe we spent $60 on them and I posted those as well and I got this email

Hi, my name's Lauren and I'm a student at Emporia State. I'm moving into my first apartment this year and since I'm a pretty poor college student, I'm looking for some inexpensive furniture. I would LOVE your three tables. Are you still asking just $25 for them?
-Lauren

So when her and her dad came to get them SHE LOVED THEM, and went on excited about her first place and college and everything...

So I told her she could have them but she had to do good in school!

Her dad gave me the biggest bear hug and said "You have no idea the lesson you are teaching our daughter right now"
