I didn't get this campaign chest--someone else got to it first, (See here how Jenny redid hers) I was going to use it for the new baby's changing table. Luckily Jenny found something else that will work and be great.
I did get this bamboo dresser. I'm going to paint it but I'm not sure what color.
I almost bought this amazing chair for the bedroom but it was 7" too wide for the space it needs to fit in. Someone buy it quick!
Someone should buy this tufted settee. I don't have a need for it, but I love it.
I got a few other things and a few I'm waiting to hear back on so those I'm keeping secret. The biggest lesson learned is that you just have to spend some serious time digging because most people aren't good at describing their items so they don't always come up in obvious searches. Hooray for Craigslist!
Great finds Jordan! I can't wait to see the finished space... of course it will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun finds! That dresser is going to look gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Craigslist! Glad you found some great deals : )
ReplyDeletehave you tried Freecycle? seriously I have found awesome furniture on there.
ReplyDeletewow. wow. a blast from the past. i grew up with a bamboo dresser just like that. it was light lemon yellow. good luck with all of your projects before the new babe.
ReplyDeleteI follow you on twitter and could see you tweeting about this. It was making me a bit anxious! ;p Glad you got what you want.
ReplyDeleteI miss the SF Craigslist. Out here in NC its much more hit or miss.
ReplyDeleteSo jealous you get to work with Jenny! Just bought a pair of carnation tables from Target that she scooped on her blog.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so jealous, I love Jenny from The Little Green Notebook. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with together!
ReplyDeletenice hunting!
ReplyDeletecraigslist in columbus can be so hard sometimes. But I have been able to score two really great finds.
It takes looking practically every day! :)
have fun getting ready for new baby!
I never have such luck on Craigslist. That first dresser is a dream!
ReplyDeleteWow. Why can't Dallas have awesome stuff like that on our craigslist. What a lovely dresser. I see it lacquered in a really bright color.
ReplyDeleteI love Jenny's blog--it's a daily check for me, along with yours, your sis's and a few others. I can't wait to see what you two come up with in your home! Way to get it done before baby!

How fun! I wish we had a good craigslist here in Germany
ReplyDeletecraigslist is the best!
ReplyDeleteoooh i love the dresser! i can't wait to see the finished room!
ReplyDeleteThe tufted settee is so... it makes me ITCH, I want it so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your Craigslist finds- I think you should paint the bamboo dresser apple green, although this depends on your colour scheme for the rest of the room.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I just moved to a smaller town where craigslist is pretty much non-existent. Boo!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the finished result of your decorating-looks like fun.
Oooh, I have 2 bamboo dressers that are similar, but one has 2 drawers and a shelf on the bottom, while the other just has one tiny drawer and a shelf. Mine are Pier1 hand-me-downs and I like them but I'd really love to paint them! I'm anxious to see what color you paint your bamboo dresser!
