Craigslist Finds of the Week

My love for Craigslist has probably become apparent by now. And, since I can't buy every great deal I find (not enough room, not enough money!), I thought it would be fun to post a few of the best items I find each week for my local readers (in and around the Charlotte, NC, area). In other words, these are great finds at great prices--somebody buy them! Then, call me and I'll help you decorate around them :) I seriously believe that you can furnish an entire house for a fraction of the cost by shopping this way.

At the time of posting, all of these items were still available.

This chair is actually a little pricier than I would normally look for on CL, but I am loving the lines and the black and white fabric would be great with other pops of color. Plus, it's in great condition.

I also thought this little rocker with nailhead trim would be adorable in the corner of a nursery. And, only $10!

And, finally, this could be wonderful for that person who is looking for a little drama in their decor!

It will definitely need a little TLC--clean up and minor repair--but at $40, I think it's a find. Just think of the possibilities:

Happy shopping!

  4. How do you get the finish so good when you sprayed the lamp bases. Do you prepare the ceramic in some way, to take the paint ?

  5. Hi Zoe, If you're talking about the lamp bases I sprayed blue, I didn't do a think except give them a good wiping down with Windex before I started. I was in a hurry and thought I would just try it quickly and it worked. I used a gloss paint by Krylon that was made for metal/wood/wicker. Thanks for visiting my blog :)

  6. I can't even tell you how many amazing things I've found on Craigslist including a brand new George Kovacs lamp for about 1/4 of the retails price and a gorgeous bar cart. Great tips! I'm a Craigslist fanatic.
