{Craigslist Stalker}

I have a friend that literally stalks Craigslist and she has found some amazing finds. I have used it to sub-let my old apartment, and a few other things - but I've only purchased a couple of items. Can you believe these chairs below, via Copy Cat Chic, are from Craigslist?

After viewing this post, I immediately went to Craigslist to see if I too could find these chairs {fail}, BUT of course found a few other things that I'm kind of obsessing over:

Vintage arm chair - would love this for my bedroom

Outdoor electric grill - this would be perfect for my apartment balcony, love it     

Vintage drafting stools - pricey, but I love the industrial chic look

Factory cart table - I've seen these all over the blogs - wish I had the room

I so could go on and on...but I'm really trying to curve my spending. So let me live vicariously through you - what things have you scored on Craigslist in the past or recently???

{Replace - New Face: Borrowed DIY Before & Afters}

Face it, who doesn't love D.I.Y. (do it yourself) projects - especially when the project allows us to re purpose, "junk," we already have?!! Save a little cash, spare the landfill, and breathe life into a tired piece of furniture. Finding a great piece of used furniture at a great price is one of the great joys of shopping Craigslist and flea markets. Check out some of the fantastic and very creative DIY projects that I've stumbled upon today. Enjoy!
