Do you know him? I mean, do you really know him? If not, you should. We LOVE him, I mean, really love him. If you have not spent countless hours alone with Craig, you SHOULD.
Hmmm... This is listed for $95 OBO. OBO stands for "or best offer". In my book, that means: free, plus 5 bucks. It is listed with a "wonderful mustard fabric". Newsflash: "Chartreuse" is the new mustard.
This seller does not realize how quickly drab can go to fab... with some painted white legs...
There's no place like home... there's no place like...
Myrtle Grove Road (please, I didn't even know I needed it)
This coffee table is $45.
This may be a house in Santa Barbara, where nothing costs $45.
Antique Credenza: $250. Offer $175, bet you'd get it.
So, we are inspired and we have $50 saved up. That is a lot of money to take on a date with Craig. We decided to go on the hunt for the perfect blog-worthy piece so after countless hours ignoring our husbands, children, housework and hair for another man (Craig), this little jewel came across the computer screen. And by "jewel", I mean diamond in the rough.
Madmen meets the Brady Bunch meets us.
Had it not been 1:00 am when we met, we would have high-tailed it over to "Flea Body's" to see this piece for ourselves. (Flea Body's AKA Treasure Trove)
$40 later, he has a new home. We don't quite know what to do with him, but we LOVE him. Maybe we are taking this "love" thing a little too far...

OK, don't tell our husbands, but Craig, the man that keeps us up late at night is the one and only....CRAIGSLIST. What's hotter than a bargain?
The great thing is that you can sell stuff in order to buy new stuff (at least that is how we justify it to our husbands). Sometimes you don't even know you need something until you see it.
Did I hear this gorgeous lucite coffee table say...take me to Twisted Oak Drive?
Yes, I think so.
Bet these people DIDN'T KNOW CRAIG when they designed their pool cabana. But then, they DO have a pool cabana.

What a find! Who doesn't love a mid-century chair (or two)?
What a great mix of styles, these chairs would fit right in!

Check out this space by New Hampshire designer, Lisa Teague. Wonder what her piece cost? Does she know Craig?

To paint or not to paint? What would you do? Stay tuned...
Bye bye birdie...
