Thank You Craig's List...again!

I cannot take any credit for our most recent Craig's List find. Between my husband and I, we cruise the Craig's List For Sale Furniture listing almost every day and my husband discovered this amazing find yesterday!




Beautiful, right?!?!? I am very lucky in that my husband really does have a great eye for design, clothes, you name it. So he spotted this on Craig's List yesterday, I emailed the seller right away, since I have been missing out on some stuff lately, and she called me right back. The seller, a super nice mom, explained that she bought it at an antique store but since they are moving and downsizing don't have room for it anymore. She said the past owner had sanded the top, with plans to refinish it so we may want to paint it. We packed up the fam into the car this morning to go look at it and fell in love! $175 was well worth it. And we LOVED the top just as is! It is unfinished and beautiful. Thank goodness no one ever refinished this. That would have been so sad!




We originally planned to put it in the guest room, but once we saw it and fell in love we couldn't stand to put it in a room that we never go in. So now it has replaced the "soccer ball" side table in our dining room. (I call it that because the tile work on the top looks just like a a soccer ball. Not my best purchase but it is functional so we keep it around.) And it is perfect! Can you tell I am thrilled, excited and did I say in love!



Once again, THANK YOU CRAIG'S LIST!
