I just scored 2 Drexel furniture dressers: Repertoire & Triune collection at Craigslist! (in 1 day,wowza!!!) They are a wonderful thing of workmanship & beauty. I snagged them $75 each, i googled right away, selling price online is $795 for the Repertoire!<br />Restor-A-Finish is absolutely going to do the job, I won't re-stain or paint ...the wood is just perfect! <br />Your blog is very inspirational for a 1st time homeowner like myself:)Maricris Boquirennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-18523830707812571652012-03-20T00:23:09.071-04:002012-03-20T00:23:09.071-04:00Hi Sarah...

My chest of drawers (that guy also threw in a little cabinet I'd originally planned on using as a bedside table but which is currently in my living room) came from there. So did my computer cabinet. I had been looking for a china cabinet for ages, and finally (about the time I decided I'd have to raise my cost limit) found one for less than I'd originally planned on spending! <br /><br />I had not heard about the Craigslist app, and I am going to pretend that I still haven't. I don't need any more furniture right now. I really don't. None at all.

A phenomenally gorgeous Thomasville buffet in a beautiful, rich cherry finish with the most delicate hardware you've ever seen. I literally laid across it to prevent anyone else from snatching it up. <br /><br />I got a steal of a solid wood dining table on Craigslist a couple years ago, and I'm planning to build a new top for it. It's currently a very lame-o blonde wood, and I'm thinking I'll paint the legs/apron and do a darker finish on the new, chunkier top.Anna @ A Good Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07234661363167506691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-70303581520087703672012-03-16T05:44:50.937-04:002012-03-16T05:44:50.937-04:00You found some wonderful furniture on craigslist. ...You found some wonderful furniture on craigslist. Most of the furniture in our home is used. We have found such wonderful buys in newspaper advertising, craigslist, and thrift shops. The furniture is always far superior to anything we could buy new. We have a beautiful Drexel Heritage cherrywood bedroom set that is gorgeous and an oak buffet(an antique) from craigslist. I really love oak and detest painted furniture. I love the original wood finish.bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07913751023262926394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-68846756383211146322012-03-16T01:08:16.572-04:002012-03-16T01:08:16.572-04:00Wow!
