Gallery Wall, Curio Cabinet, & Craigslist Finds

A couple weeks ago I posted about moving into a new home, and mentioned sharing
some of the things I've done so far.

I am lucky enough to have moved into a bigger place and was able to dust off some the old warehouse stuff
that was put away in storage.

I am one of those people that is constantly on the hunt for special finds at yard sales, on Craigslist, etc...

I'm not a hoarder, but let's just say that I could completely furnish a good size home right now!!

Well not really, but pretty darn close.

When I have free time at work, I get on Craigslist and search like a mad man...

My co-workers always say, "What are you looking for know?  Where are you gonna put that?"

I don't even just look for myself...

I find goodies for friends and fam too!

I find stuff that they will spend their money on, in order to feed my shopping obsession!

Anywho....I'm WAYYYY off track..

Just thought I would show you some of my favorite Craigslist finds that have emerged from that dusty ol' warehouse..

And some things that I had all along...

I HEART my gallery wall!!!

I pretty much had all of the frames.

Some were black..some white...some gold, so I jsut sprayed the odd ball frames a creamy white..I was going for the simple look.

The "Love, Laugh, Live" came from Homegoods...$2.00 each!  DEAL!

The vintage scale was from Craigslist and was a whopping $10...worth EVERY penny!



 I used this curio at my previous home, just made it alittle more "dining-roomie"...

The chalkboard boxes were from Marshalls and were courtesy of my roommate!  YAY for good roomies!

This is one favorite Craigslist pieces...

The table was $45 and was a whitewash finish...I re-finished it awhile back in a creamy color.

The four chairs were a seperate Craigslist find...$100 for all four!!

They didn't look like this, OF COURSE!  They were, also, a whitewash with a traditional upholstery print..

YUCK!

I re-finished them, as well,  had them re-upholstered and added the button tufting on the back of the chair..

Total cost for the table, chairs, paint, and re-upholstery was $280!!
