I decided it was time for a major change...I am loving all of the lighter colors right now...earthtones & browns just aren't doing it anymore. I sold the chair for $50.00 in our garage sale & the sofa for $225.00 on Craigslist.I have wanted a slipcovered sofa forever, but as you know they are not easy on the budget. I couldn't believe it when I found this Linden Street Sofa on Craigslist for $350.00!!! A single lady had it, no kids, no pets, no smoking & she traveled, so really she was only here in KC about half the time. I asked her what her bottom dollar would be & she said $275.00!
I also found a new chair on Craigslist for $30.00! Before I headed to get it the seller e-mailed & said they remembered they had a matching ottoman in storage & if I wanted it I could have it for $10.00...Score!
I got rid of the brown drapes...
And replaced them with these faux silk drapes from Target...They sell for $19.99/panel, but I found them on Craigslist...All 8 panels for $60.00! I sold my others for $20.00 so really I have $40.00 in the new ones!
Um, that couch is amazing and for that price!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's good to hear someone else thinking the same way as I do...Sometimes I worry that I am some 'crazed Craigslist lady' that would think a furnace in the middle of summer was a good buy!
