Bay Area Craigslist Finds

Here's another roundup of my favorite recent Craigslist listings.  If you're in the Bay Area, snatch something up :) Otherwise, I hope this is some inspiration for your own thrifting.

If I had any space I would snatch up this set of chairs ASAP - $50 is a great deal.  They would be perfect in a bachelor pad and I love the idea of dining chairs on wheels.  I'd probably switch out the table for something a bit more modern and light, but you might even be able to paint the table that comes with the set.

"Pair" is one of my favorite Craigslist/Craiggers search terms.   It always comes up with great sets of matching chairs and tables.   A pair of chairs can be perfect to tie together a room, or it can be nice to have a backup if you're trying out a new project (I have a second version of this chair so I can perfect my upholstery)

This $50 pair of peachy wingback chairs look like they're in great condition.  They could read slightly grandma-y but I think with the right accessories, they could also work in a totally modern girly living room.

I'm a huge fan of campaign furniture because I loev the simple shapes and brass details.   At $200, this dresser isn't a total steal, but it's beautiful classic piece.

A friend was looking for a trunk recently and this one is perfectly worn.  It still provides plenty of storage, and could easily function as coffee table with a couple of trays on top.

Happy Hunting!

Craiggers!

Clearly I am a huge fan of bargain hunting on Craigslist, so I was stoked when a friend told me about Craiggers, which is basically a better interface for searching the classified site.  Craiggers gives you access to all of your local Craigslist postings, with a much more browse-able interface. Plus, the website  makes it possible for you to mark items you like with a star (way better than keeping a list of URLs in a Word doc, which is what I usually do) And,  you can save searches.  Since I have a list of "go to" search terms,  I love that I can pull up the results quickly.

Needless to say, I've found a few items I'd love to pick up...

A great looking set of campaign dressers, just $75!

I love slightly masculine feel and the brass accents.

This pair of chairs might need refinishing, but they are a great shape!  They could be totally worth a little time.

I'm kind of loving mustard yellow right now  and these chairs would be a great pair in a cozy living room.

 

Maybe they'd work to create a more modern version of this Martha Stewart room:

 Happy Hunting!
