The KINGDOM mirror– proving that you NEVER KNOW what is on the other end of a Craigslist ad.

How we moved a giant antique mirror.

I’m like Liberace… but with more flair.

We are DIY-ing a falling-down Victorian house, one room at a time… and the BEST part is the decorating! Craigslist is my greatest source for all kinds of amazing decor and salvaged finds!

My paramour. My inamorata. My one true love: Craigslist.

My BEST Craigslist find! This GIANT, antique wardrobe came out of a Philadelphia mansion… it took us HOURS to dismantle… we hoped to repurpose it in our DIY kitchen remodel.

I shall be both dog and pony. — Roger Sterling

Don and I... taking a little trip.

DIY house renovation— a death-defying stunt for your marriage.

Husband and wife DIY renovation of an old Victorian house. Mess, and dirt are stressful to marriage.
