craigslist all week : dc and austin

i think i inadvertently saved the best for last.

hold on to your boobs and beans...


first up is...


antique cabinet $100.

very pretty details. 

take a look and see them close up. 

 

mid century server $259.

not cheap but doable and tons of storage. 

great for a bar set up. 

to paint or not to paint?

i'd get it home first and see how that finish translates in your space.

then decide. 

 

 

antique secretary $175.

fantastic, right?

i'd paper or fabric the back in this

 

brass crib $350

like whoa. 

 

 

regency round coffee table $75.

i really just love these brass scroll base coffee tables. 

they seem so versatile.

in other words it would work in your house. 

 

antique table $95.

simple and feminine.

i'd totally bar it up. 

 

brass cart $175.

this is interesting. 

not sure what the shelves are made of, says they're "light green". 

but it's a good price. 

 

irish pine corner hutch $575.

you know the country mouse in me loves this hard.

live in the country and have a china collection?

you should have this. 

these things are worth around 5k in antique stores. 

 

antique rug $100.

they say this "needs to be professionally cleaned". 

i'd heed their advice.

but 100 bucks seems like a steal to me. 

it's pretty!

 

8 pc. service bronze flatware $60.

thanksgiving is coming. 

 

3 adorable little asian lamps $75 (each).

one for you, one for me, one for your mom.

this has such a modern feel and it's fifty five dollars!

great for a wee person, girl or boy. 

 

brass cocktail table $375.

i could not love this more.

someone please oh please buy this. 

 

chrome table and chairs $125.

wicker elephant bench $275.

this is pretty much my favorite thing ever.

a kid's room..sure...obviously.

just keep it away from cats. 

 

next up..

faux bamboo brass cart $195.

so small and fun.

 

vintage sofa $500.

3 moroccan hanging lamps $50.

hang them all in a hall, en masse. 

or in a small kitchen nook.

this is very agreeable.

this is what people talk about when they say "pay attention to the details".

this is a fine detail. 

 

 

monkey wedding portrait $200.

i don't know...is it worth $200?

maybe. 

but it sure is enjoyable.

 

this person is selling 7 vintage moroccan rugs at $500 each.
