It took my hubby a little while to be convinced of my makeover magic abilities, but to date I have scored an awesome couch,loveseat,overstuffed chair living room set for $100 (I'm gradually making white slipcovers for them all) a dining room table with seating for 6 for $80, and a china cabinet for $50 (that is all primed now, but I'm still debating on whether I want it white or Ocean Tide :) ). I've also gotten lucky in family discovering my love of refinishing, and I've been given a recliner, a dresser, a desk, and a media cabinet. (Only the dresser and desk have beem refinished, but they're AWESOME!) I've adopted the philosophy that you should never settle for something (furniture-wise) that you don't like if you have the ability to make it better! Paint and new fabric make everything better!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09734448450955304637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-11804784780628474282014-06-20T17:52:59.147-04:002014-06-20T17:52:59.147-04:00I actually stopped narrowing down my searches on C...I actually stopped narrowing down my searches on CL...because when I just left it to furniture under a certain price...so many more things, that weren't even listed under my more specific search were there! I found a two drawer chest for $50 which i searched for specifically and couldn't find and ended up finding it under furniture, under $50.

I should make a list of items that I'm looking for and post it. <br /><br />Courtney..did you find a Baker's Rack? I'm looking for one that I can use on my outdoors patio in the summer time..Wrought iron preferably. I can always spray paint it to freshen it up. We used to own a pick up truck but sold it..that's kind of holding me back right now plus I think that item would be readily available in the Spring time..not when there's 14 in. of snow on the ground.Pippi21https://www.blogger.com/profile/07002511102541874660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-34534786396979844002013-08-05T21:26:42.647-04:002013-08-05T21:26:42.647-04:00I've never shopped on Craigslist but I should....I've never shopped on Craigslist but I should.
