Why I Honey Craigslist...
Reason 1,453,294.
I picked these huge mounted antlers upward final week. For FREE!!!
I mentioned I've been stalking CL lately for or as well as thence novel chairs for my kitchen table, as well as 1 forenoon I was doing my commons search for "chairs", "rug", as well as "chandelier". On a whim I searched for "antlers", thinking that it's fourth dimension to decorate for Fall as well as wishing I had or as well as thence to a greater extent than loose antlers to scatter around.
This was the outset listing that popped up. As I read the details, I noticed the words "free to a proficient home." Well, I couldn't mail that text fast enough! I didn't fifty-fifty know how big they were, inward the blurry photograph they were merely resting inward the chair.
I was delighted when I made a particular trip across town as well as picked them upward to encounter that they were HUGE! Mr. K. told me that the household unit of measurement floor was that his Grandfather got these (on a hunt, I assume) inward Alaska inward 1910. Mr. K.'s married adult woman refused to allow him hang them inward the house, as well as thence he merely wanted to larn rid of them. HUH? How create yous larn rid of 113 twelvemonth former antlers amongst such a groovy household unit of measurement history? Well, evidently or as well as thence people don't accept hoarding tendencies aren't that attached to their stuff, as well as he was happy to give them to me.
I couldn't comprise my excitement as well as shared amongst my Instagram friends...
The mounting plaque had a yellowish-shellac finish, but I idea the forest mightiness move pretty amongst that stripped off. It wasn't...still likewise yellow. So, I merely painted it black.
So give thank yous you, Mrs. K., for non wanting these inward your home. I certain create dearest them. One man's trash...
P.S.- The striped carpeting is dorsum inward the entry. The chevron just wasn't working for me there, as well as thence it moved to my son's room. Nothing similar a proficient circular of musical rugs!
