Viva la Craigslist

New? Start here:

  • The Kingdom Mirror – a MASSIVE Victorian piece that was living in an alley!
  • Salvaging a Victorian wardrobe –  nearly 12 feet long!
  • Hauling an antique headboard up to our roof and through a window – it was too large to fit up the stairwell!
  • Antique square grand piano into kitchen island.

Antique ribbon cabinet: more stuff I do not need, but cannot live without. (Edition 57,892)

CRAIGSLIST is my greatest source for antiques and salvaged decor! My most recent find is this amazing ANTIQUE RIBBON CABINET! Come tour our Victorian house… we are DIY-ing the restoration, one room at a time… the BEST part is the decorating!

DIY upholstery: finished sofa!

DIY upholstery: for people who love being irritated.

Mini barrister bookcase (and a foster kitten update.)

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 antiques, amazing decor and salvaged finds!

Reclaimed marble slabs for our kitchen countertops. (AND another grand piano) *video*

Craigslist SCORE: three *huge* Carrara marble slabs from an antique shower stall! We'll repurpose them as countertops in our DIY kitchen remodel— we are using almost entirely salvaged and repurposed materials... including turning an antique piano into the kitchen island!

Once upon a time. Craigslist. The end… *video*
