Armoire Lovin and an Estate Sale

Pic from CL ad
Browsing Craigslist today as usual for an armoire. I don't have much money to spend but at the same time I am gosh darned picky! I've been looking for a specific shape. Then I saw this beauty listed for only $75!!! I am supposed to pick it up this evening. I will of course be painting it. Can't help myself......But I also want to add some glass panels possibly and new knobs definitely. It's solid wood and the price is low because the inside of the door has a couple of chips. Big deal, right! For that price, it's nothing a little wood putty and paint won't fix!!

Then I saw this listed on CL too!! Estate Sale

  3. How exciting! I keep seeing beautiful things on freesaver and then I remember that I'd have to get them up four flights of stairs, and I may be moving countries in the next six months.

    It's really not sale season quite yet....I just got lucky someone is having one a little early. We still have snow on the ground but it is finally melting!
