5 Craigslist Finds
Listen up Santa Cruz! I’ve got some cool finds from Craigslist. Some could use a little love others are lovely just as they are. Jump on it!
For $125, I would get this and paint it up to look more like this:
The grey is fabulous. You could also do something more distressed and even keep the wood countertop as is.
Brass lamps for $50. Keep the brass and change the shade to look more like this:
Although this picture uses a very basic brass base (wow that’s a tongue twister!), the pattern shade is fun. I would just be careful not to get too busy on the shade since the base has texture of its own.
Free chairs dudes! I would even just keep the color but sand it down way more to get a vintage look. This are some solid wood chairs. Do it!
Pedestal tables are always gems. This one is $90. People are always afraid to paint their tables. With these tables, if you truly mess it up (which I don’t believe there really is a way to), then there will be another one right around the corner. The idea is to paint it to look more like this:
You would have to restore the top with some sand paper and a good few coats of stain. Then paint the base a fun color. OR you can just paint it all one color but I’m a fan of the two-tone lately.
A $100 and you could turn this puppy into this:
And the inside is blue!! Presh.
Alrighty, get on it!
