adventures in craigslist, round 3

ok, maybe not as funny as round 1 and round 2, but perhaps a little more productive...

so, two of my roommates flew the coop and most of the furniture happened to belong to them.
so i figured now is a good a time as any to finally become a grownup and own some furniture of my own.

and naturally, in keeping with my deeply held views on household furnishings, i turned to the infamous craigslist for assistance.

drumroll please...

YELLOW COUCH - $50
(be still my beating heart. i adore this couch.)

COFFEE TABLE - $20
Before:
(erm, i forgot to take a before picture, but it was very plain and boring. medium wood, chipped white metal legs...form a mental picture.)

After:

(yeah, i'm a freakin rock star.)

RUG - $20


MIRROR - $20
(we ultimately decided to hang it sideways.)

and don't forget the rest of my thrifted decor, if you missed that...

and that, my friends, is one kick-A living room for $110.
yeah ... yeah you're jealous.
i am currently accepting house(re)warming plants.

(and don't worry....i already have some hilarity in the queue for craigslist round 4.)
