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.

Putting the bed together.

We got this fantastic, antique bed on craigslist, but it’s only a full-size… see how we retrofitted it to accommodate our queen-size mattress.

I am only one yard sale away from an episode of hoarders.

Ideas for upcycling vintage yardsale finds… I repurposed an antique box into a pretty table decoration.

A video where we haul the bed up to the second-floor roof and shove it in the bedroom window.

**MUST read – hysterical** My latest Craigslist find was too large to fit up our old-house stairwell, so my husband built a RAMP TO THE ROOF!

Craigslist bed saga, part two.

** MUST read – this girl’s craigslist stories are hysterical.** If you like craigslist-bargains or estate-sale hunting, you MUST read the story of this antique bed.

Craigslist is my spirit animal – The bed saga, Pt. 1

If you like craigslist-bargains or estate-sale hunting, you MUST read the story of this antique bed. **this girl’s craigslist stories are hysterical.

Trash night is the best night.

Trash night is the best night… Finding antiques in other people

Vintage medical table.

Vintage medical table from an estate sale. We stripped the paint and refinished it.

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 cannot WAIT to show you my BEST find ever.
