Auctions– because you can never have too many giant, antique, fancy pieces of junk.

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.

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.

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.
