Twins In Addition To A Craigslist Tip

Y'all.  I induce got in addition to thence many things to post almost in addition to no time!  So, today you lot larn something quick (although quick inwards blogger damage all the same way over an lx minutes of writing, photographing, in addition to editing!).

Literally for almost 2 years I've been looking on Craig's List for a matching educate of nightstands.  But non only nightstands, I wanted a fleck to a greater extent than volume of something similar a small-scale dresser.  I've told you lot earlier that something similar this would hold upwardly my dream find, but to detect those on Craig's List inwards Oklahoma would hold upwardly a miracle.  

Last nighttime around 8 my sis texted me "Check your e-mail...matching dressers on CL." So I instantly did in addition to made a telephone telephone to the seller to inquire.  Everything sounded good, in addition to thence past times 8:30 I was inwards the truck headed thirty minutes across town to banking concern check them out.  Ray stayed habitation to larn the kids to bed, in addition to peculiarly since it was nighttime I was a lilliputian unsure of going past times myself.  Thankfully my sis was habitation in addition to agreed to become amongst me.  And every bit usual, nosotros had aught to worry about, they were the nicest people!

Here's what nosotros came habitation amongst (x2)-

(Ha!  Just noticed inwards the pic that i trace is upside down.  Wonder if it's ever been similar that?)

I know...they're dated....Early American...not a pretty finish...but they'll hold upwardly REALLY adept amongst paint, novel hardware, in addition to mayhap a lilliputian fleck of re-styling the shape.  Not certain what the innovation volition hold upwardly yet, but I only know they'll hold upwardly good!  If you've done or seen whatsoever cracking facelifts on a slice similar these, delight experience complimentary to link away inwards the comments!

They're correct at 30" tall in addition to 30" wide, in addition to thence the size volition hold upwardly perfect, in addition to there's lots of cracking storage.  The ironic affair is that I only saw pretty much this EXACT duo 2 weeks ago, really inexpensive but non inwards the best condition, i time once again piece of cake on a Dominicus nighttime in addition to 45 minutes on the sum contrary side of town, in addition to past times the fourth dimension I could schedule a showing they were sold.  So odd that these hardly ever are listed in addition to at that spot were 2 identical pairs inwards 2 weeks!  It was a approbation that I missed out on those, though.  The ones I purchased were a lilliputian to a greater extent than expensive, but inwards much amend condition.

I'm itching to start working on my bedchamber (haven't I been maxim that for months?) but am determined to complete upwardly another projects first.  

Here's my Craig's List tip for the day...

If you lot become to await at something, always inquire if they're selling anything else!  My chests were inwards a huge storage type garage sum of stuff, in addition to thence nosotros asked in addition to they proceeded to demonstrate us lots of other things.  My sis bought something for her fellow in addition to I dug through a box of old pictures that were fantastic.  Want to come across what I got for $5 each?

There was a duo of these-

I dearest the frames in addition to the mat is almost a straw similar texture.  They're a cracking size-about 2 feet tall.  Although pretty, the needlepoint volition in all probability become in addition to the color of the frame volition larn an update.

I debated almost this i but the colors are brilliant in addition to it was only way besides sweetness to transcend up-

It says "His Guardian Angel" on the bottom amongst a copyright appointment of 1943 in addition to volition hold upwardly added to my collection inwards the laundry room.

I almost didn't induce got this but am glad I did-

It's begging to hold upwardly a fun color. The opening is 9x11" in addition to nosotros recall mayhap it had a clock human face upwardly inwards it at i time.  I'm thinking mayhap it needs a mirror?

Anyway, my projection listing only got a lilliputian fleck longer, but I've been looking for this slice of furniture for in addition to thence long in addition to I'm thrilled!  Although it's non just what I wanted, the cost was correct in addition to if I ever come upwardly across something amend I don't recall I'll induce got whatsoever work re-selling.

Happy Wednesday!
