Trolling Craigslist

You might recall that I’m planning on revamping my office sometime in the near future {hopefully I can be counted on to actually complete that project!!  Seriously, I can’t be trusted.}

Because of the impending office makeover, I’ve been trolling Craigslist a bit lately.  Here are a few things that are currently tempting me:

Can you see me?  I’m swooning.  This Danish beauty wants to come live in my office.  Crazy-awesome drawers and interior shelving.  { $275 }

This Knoll tweed office chair would be delightful in my … office.  { $99 }

Yummy mid-century dresser.  { $369 }

Hello lovely!!  Can’t get enough of the campaign furniture.  {Price unknown }

Crazy low price, would be fun reupholstered.  { $30 }

These would be awesome just about anywhere in the house.  { $65 for the pair }

Eames-esque and totally awesome.  My breakfast nook wants them.  { $350 for 4 }

If you look closely and get a little imaginative, the arms of this set are a little greek key-esque.  And they’d be dynamite with a new upholstery job.  { $250 for the set }

Pair of Thonet club chairs.  { $125 }

Do I need a lucite console table?  Nope.  But I want it.  { $250 }

Love the bentwood handles!!  { $195 }

Molded plywood stacking chairs.  {$60 for the set! }

This sofa rocks my world.  Can’t you just see her all gussied up in something fabulous?  She might be my favorite.  Mmmmmmm.  { $195 }

Have you made any amazing Craigslist scores lately?  Or maybe you’ve happened upon a thrift store find that would make me weep with envy?  Come on, make me jealous!  :)

Blog Party: Inspiration Tuesday!

That’s right folks, it’s that time of the week again – let’s party!!

Blog Party: Inspiration Tuesday

This week I’ve been totally inspired by all the goodies I’m finding on Craigslist.  I haven’t pulled the trigger yet and actually bought anything, but I’m seriously thinking about it.  Here are some of my faves:

If this $50 coffee table doesn’t scream, “Make me into an ottoman coffee table,” then I don’t know what does.  I would paint the base white, slap a thick layer of foam on top of the coffee table, and then cover the foam with batting and one of these three fab fabrics from Joel Dewberry – I can’t choose between them, they’re all too beautiful!

Which fabric would you pick?

And what about this conga line of barstools?  I know they look fugly now, but with a little DIYing, they could be total showstoppers.  And at $150 for 8 barstools (that swivel!  and have arms!), that’s a deal that can’t be beat.  I’d spray paint these babies black and add some sassy Amy Butler fabric like one of these:

I love the brass accents on this $75 matching dresser and night stand set.  I’d polish those babies up and paint the drawers and cabinet doors a lacquered teal blue while leaving the wood natural around the frame.  Love!

But enough about what’s inspiring me – let’s hear about what you’re inspired by today!  We’d all love to swing by your blog for some inspiration – if you’d like to join in on the fun, just add your link below.   Here are a few pointers:

(1) Make sure that you add the permalink to your specific blog post (like www.itsgreattobehome.net/inspiration-tuesday-craigslist), instead of your general blog address.

(2) Give everybody an idea of what you’re inspired by in parentheses after your blog name – like Liz @ It’s Great To Be Home (Craigslist finds).

(3)  Make sure that your link works – otherwise it might get deleted (no fun!!).

(4) Try to include a link to this party somewhere in your post so that your readers can get in on the fun!

(5) Click on the other participants’ links and let them know if they’ve inspired you!

And remember, if we have enough participants this week I’ll feature my faves from the blog party on Wednesday – and it could be your post!  Now grab your post and this button and let’s boogie!
