I have shopped through cgslist for many years and scored all kinds of deals. I could do a whole post on our cgslist finds. Yesterday, my husband completely indulged me. I needed to get out of the house. We drove 30 minutes to a 40,000 sq ft used furniture warehouse with the most amazing prices.
Find #1: I found this adorable vintage desk set (and I was really just after the chair) for $20.
I am in the process of doing some refinishing to what was a laminate top. If I can convince my husband, that will be his bedside table.
As I said I was just after the chair. I originally got the idea from Restoration Hardware who lists this chair at $119.
And I found this guy on Etsy selling a similar set for 295!
Find #2, I was looking for a night stand and found this vintage desk for $15.
Suddenly I think I have a thing for collecting vintage desks. This is my fourth in a month! I think I will refinish this one.
I wanted to find some cute shutters to make a head board for our guest room. This used furniture store had shutters in seriously used/weathered condition for $15 each. I didn't love any of them. On the way home we stopped at the ReStore. Habitat for Humanity's resale outlet. In love, again!
I found these shutter doors for $5.
I am not sure yet if I want to leave them vertical or turn them horizontal (cutting off the bottom). The ReStore also had solid wood doors in the $20 range. We totally need to replace our hollow core bedroom doors. And we may be redoing our bathroom from the ReStore!
Tomorrow, if we have a few extra minutes, I am dying to check our our city's historical district. They have a architectural salvage of building materials from older buildings. While I understand second hand decorating may not be for everyone, I am so excited about it! New does not work with our cash only debt-free plan. Vintage and I are new BFFs.
