Question....Oh, I LOVE this piece! It looks great! <br /><br />Question... What are some "key words" that you use to search Craigslist? <br /><br />I usually do... sideboard, buffet, hutch, and dresser, but am I missing some good ones? What about all the cute little tables, stools, and chairs?Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814308312432498158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-54552985246741152562010-07-21T09:16:25.525-04:002010-07-21T09:16:25.525-04:00I recently found your blog, I think through The Le...I recently found your blog, I think through The Lettered Cottage? Anyway, I'm just realizing you are local (to me anyway :) -- how cool! I just happened to see you on Indy Style (I know one of the hosts from HS). Love your blog and all your ideas! Your home is beautiful! :) I totally recognize your CL find... I think the same seller has similar pieces up frequently, and they are always painted black. I always wonder if they redo the pieces or build them or what?? But they're gorgeous, whatever they do to them!

I've bought 3 buffets in 2 years on Craigslist, love them all. <br /><br />Your foyer looks lovely, and welcoming. Mine is poopy, so I need to take inspiration and go check out Craigslist on this lovely rainy (finally!) day.<br />Best...
