X! Yes, more X Benches!

So, you all know that I am kind of obsessed with X benches.  Most are out of my price range, but I recently found a few reasonably priced ones that I shared here.  Well, imagine my surprise when I stumbled across some incredibly cute and inexpensive ones at Home Goods.  As I mentioned on Friday, I am a Maxxinista... I love love TJ Maxx, Home Goods and Marshalls!  

It was my first outing with baby, so I was having trouble carrying baby and taking photo (hence the bad photo), but so cute and look at that price tag!

If they had two of those tan ones... I might have been tempted to purchase.  Lucky for my wallet... they only had one!

I do love me some X benches.  Until next time....xoxo

C is for Craiglist!

Since I have not done this in a while, I thought I would peruse Craigslist and share some "Craigslist Finds".  Yes, buying on Craiglist can take time, energy and patience.... but it can be so worth it!  I have shared my Craiglist Farm table with you, best $200 I ever spent!

Check out these cute and cheap finds from Boston's Craigslist! 

 

This farm table is amazing and needs only a little TLC.  $235

Love this School House Desk!  Perfect for kids room or nook somewhere.  

Paint it or leave it as is.   Bargain price is $75. 

Gotta have some vision here, but this could be AMAZING!!!  Since it is flat top it is a perfect bench of coffee table or at foot of bed.  Clean it up and paint it!  Great storage.  Too good to pass up at $50. 

This is a cute set for $125.  Perfect for kids room or country cottage.  

Spray paint it white or some other "beachy" color.

Just a small sampling of the "finds" you can get at your local Craigs List!  Until next time....xoxo

M is for Makeover! Table Makeover!

This past weekend- I gave my Craigslist dining room table a makeover.  My mom came over and worked some magic!  My husband, mom and I painted chairs and my mom re-stained the top!  I painted the table legs.  I think it looks like a brand new table!

We got the table and 6 chairs for $200 bucks.  Steal!  I had wanted a farm table.... and  I loved how this one was perfectly worn.  It was a lighter color than I wanted... but I always knew it had potential!

AFTER

Not great photos, but you get the idea!  $200 bucks and some elbow grease and I have myself a great dining room set!  (You may notice new window treatments too!  I have been a busy girl!)

Until next time....xoxo

P.S.  I am taking the Monday holiday off from blogging!  Have a great 4th of July!  

S.C.= Salvage Chic! Antiques....

This past summer cruising Craigs List I came across some postings from a store in Pembroke, Massachusetts. It is called Salvage Chic Antiques. One lovely day I decided to take a trip to the store and check it out! They have great stuff and the prices are fabulous! The website is great as the woman there keeps it up to date daily! She will put items on hold if you see something you love (details on website).

The day I went I left with two items. One (old record player cabinet) which I have no place for currently and is sitting in my basement was $55. The other, a tiny black set of drawers fits perfectly in my living room in a small space between two windows. I cannot totally remember what I paid for it.. but I think it was like $50. It was in great condition and already painted a shiny black. I am constantly perusing their site to see if there are any other items I must have.

Here are some of the current items the website all ranging around the $150 or so range (give or take a $20). I must have dressers on the brain! :)

This one is on sale cheap for $89.... for table and chairs. Perfect for small kitchen (pair with china cabinet above) or even living room for cute gaming area.

This is adorable too for just $89. I have one just like it at the foot of bed in guest room!

They also have cute accouterment (dishes, wall decor, linens, etc). Check it out! Until next time....xoxo
