Photos on eye spy are for your gazing pleasure. I've tried to attribute each + every one, but for a slim minority the source, designer, or manufacturer has gone missing. If you recognize one of these, let me know its background and I'll be sure to track proper credits + links.

List Love — 10.25.09

Yep, it’s time for our weekly Craigslist review. Someone has heard my rants — prices seem to be lower this week, so pounce while you can!

 

 

 

Couldn’t-more-fabulous painted iron + glass table — $100  { I want this so badly that I could scream! It’s French Retro-looking (a la Tolix) goodness can mix with any style. And painted orange? Oh yes. }

 

 

Excellent-condition, hip fireplace with gas logs included — $80

 



1970s-ish dresser — $85

 

 

 


Rattan + glass console/sofa table — $10

 

 

 

Old mustard-painted tool chest — $95  { would make a great coffee table or office/studio supply cabinet }

 

 

 

1940s trestle table + benches — $350  

{ Okay, I love this story. This table + the benches were made by the WPA during the 40s for Marietta City Schools. The top is a single slab of wood. I love that the trestles almost look cartoony. I would paint the entire thing shiny shiny chrome yellow or Yves Klein blue }

 

 

 

Set of aqua swivel chairs — $200 / four

 

 

 

Trunk-like base table with 49" glass top — $40

 

 

 

Leather-like stitched parsons side table — $30

 

 

 

High white glossy table — $65 { I think it's a longer stepped table }

 

 

 

 

Excellent condition black ping-pong table — $100 { Time to set-up your Windsor Smith-ish teen rec room! }

 

 

 

Small Williams Sonoma Home steel parsons dining table — $175

 

 

 

 

Marble brown + red-toned lamp — $50

 

 

 

Antique marble-topped pastry-prep table from family bakery in Ohio — $450

Those are some killer items and amazing deals!
Where are they located?

Oh Susie,Susie, Susie, Susie....please don't pass up that first table! Buy it so I can come over and visit it and admire its fine lines.

I got a little Danish stool at Kudzu this weekend for $65...it's cute, but I think I got caught up in the excitement now that I see these deals...must get out of the house more often...all that fresh air just goes to my head and makes me slightly delirious. ;0)
