Yep, it's addicting!


Craigslist is like crack, really it is.  You find items that people think are out of date, trash or have zero value to them and with a little TLC you can bring pieces back to life. It's completely addicting!  Take this little lovely...



Worn, little dated and had some cosmetic issues BUT had great bones! SOLD!  I decided to update her and give this little lovely new lease on life.  Fixed all her cosmetic issues, primed and painted in Creamy by Sherwin Williams.  To give her a little something different, I stamped the doors with a french motif with a waterproof ink.  Finally, distressed her in all the right places and finished with a polyacrylic finish.  Well...here she is!

    1. Hi! I just look for pieces that have good "bones"! If it has minor cosmetic issues I can fix those. If you can get past the ugly factor of a piece and see potential that's really all you need. Did that help? Thanks for your kind words! :)
