Our "New" TV Stand

As you may recall, Eric and I were on the hunt for a new TV stand back in February.  Being avid craigslist-ers, we were determined to find a well-priced beauty we could adopt from another family.

I am here to encourage you, friends.  Patience pays off.

Below is our original setup.

And here is our new setup in all it's glory. 

The details...

People actually paid us for our old TV and stand - $75 total. 

We were lucky to find an antique, refinished buffet table - $200 total.  

Do you revel in the benefits of craigslist?  You can reduce the amount of material items in your home, increase your savings and/or find pre-loved, quality-made items that won't break the bank.  Those are my excuses, anyway.

Craigslist Chairs

Saturday morning we are headed to Memphis for BBQ and good music.

We'll pass through Jasper, where I'd love to beverly hillbilly a few of these porch chairs into the back of our pickup.

Twenty bucks each, patience and effort would transform them beautifully, like this redo seen on Design Sponge.

Have I mentioned my craigslist addiction?  It is out of control, people. Not so much the purchasing as the looking, looking and more looking.  Today I'm making a ten dollar purchase that I'll be sure to share with you soon! 

Have any good recs for Memphis?  I'd love to hear!
