Bigger House=More Stuff

Lately I've been dreaming of a bigger home.  Not because I need one, but because I want to buy more furniture. I know, it is a sickness.  Here are some Austin Craigslist finds I would buy for my "new house".

$40!!! Reupholster with a fabulous fabric & put in the office.

$195 Henredon Dresser. Great quality piece & has dividers in top drawers.

$60 faux bamboo standing mirror. Who doesn't need one of these?!

$199. Not cheap for really nice. Chinoiserie beauties. I like the lines on these.

$800 Chesterfield Sofa! Great condition & timeless.

$75 vanity bench with awesome legs.

$60 bench for the entry. Make a pillow for the seat with cool fabric. Adorable!

$30!!!! Take white stickers off, give it a good cleaning & use in office or living area. So cool.

$150 70's Bar Cart. Talk them down in price. What a beauty.

$10 for all three chairs! Recover seats & possible repaint? Odd number but I like the look of mixing dining chairs. Plus, the price & the cute curve of the seats. I am a sucker for all things cane, bamboo, and cheap.

Ok, there is tons more on CL I could decorate my fictitious large house with, but I have to stop somewhere.

**Disclaimer: Did not list all great finds because want them for myself. 

Before/After Nightstands.

I'm trying to be brave & post on my blog.  It is tough b/c although I love home interiors/design, I'm am still figuring out what I like/don't like & I'm certainly not a designer!

I gave my great-aunt's old nightstands a new look.  Still looking for new/vintage style hardware to change out on them. I refinished the tops & painted the bases a really light gray (can't remember the exact color but is by Benjamin Moore).

Before:

 

(I started painting the sides before I realized I had not taken a "before" pic!)

After:

 

It is hard to tell w/my lack of photo skills but they are now in our bedroom & look a lot better!
