Granted, I have NO need for any new furniture. Or rather, no SPACE for said furniture. But, in an effort to procrastinate on the actual work I have to do today, I decided to take a quick look around craigslist….just ’cause I haven’t in a while. And I found a couple of things to die for. I will warm you that it’s important to keep it all in perspective — I mean, the next few images will be a test. Do you see ugly used furniture, or do you see potential? The right answer is potential, people.
I found a mid-century modern chair that resembles the chairs that I lust after in SF girl by bay’s apartment. for $45! What more could a girl ask for?

See the resemblance? (SF girl by bay’s photo courtesy of Jubella) Plus, a couple of other goodies that I found…

1930’s rocking chair. amazing and fantastic for $150

I see Anthropologie-esque potential in this one - only $50!

I love Craigslist too
I bought a mahogany dresser from there (not a scratch on it) $25 ..and a beautiful antique vanity that I use as a desk.. $100!! I agree.. people need to look for potential
