Here are my favorites on Craigslist in the DC Metro area...
Vintage Asian-Inspired Chinese Style Chippendale Set $550 {really? all this for that? i seriously can't believe my regal eyes! those chairs are incroyable.}...
If you are so bold you could paint the chairs above white...
Or perhaps red...
Or black is just fine...
Dining Set w/5 Chairs $250 {fabulouso price for a mcm set in great condition. these sell for a hell of a lot more at mid century antique shops.}...
Here's an inspirational image for the set above, not exact, but you get the feel...
Mid-century modern Saarinen-style Tulip Table and Chairs $850 {not sure about the price, but do your research and always do the wobble test before buying. great set though!}
How awesome could the set above look? This awesome...
Vanguard-Annie Selke Dining Table $699 {simple, clean elegant lines.}...
Romantic Chic Ornate Mirror $225 {a bit pricey, but still cool as all get out.}...
You could paint it rouge if you so desire...
Wicker Chaise Lounge $49 {give it a good hi gloss outdoor spray paint in a color of your choosing, let it off gas a few days, add a blanket, pillow and then relax! read 'water for elephants' and then let's go see the movie together. i can hang with a commoner ;).}...
Funky Designer Mid Century Coffee Table $185 {would look cool in the right room. a beach home perhaps?}...
Eames Style Chair $750 {to all the fellas...this is the piece for you.}...
Even a dog looks adorable hip in an Eames style chair...
Cute as in I need another dog inspirational image source (just had to add that)
Set of 6 Italian dining chairs $280 {paint, new fabric and it will transform these granny chairs into something fresh and young. not that there is anything wrong with the granny look. some of my best friends are grannies.}...
Ornate Pine Desk $125 {not the best image, but offer less and let's paint it...what color are you in the mood for?}...
Black maybe?...
Antique Settee $100 {remember you can strip furniture down to their bare bones and this girl looks like she needs some new clothes and some fat put on her.}...
Maybe she'll be pretty in a regal color like purple...
Console, media cabinet, vintage Asian 1960's $600 {consoles at crate & barrel are more expensive than this. this would be perfect for a family room with a tv on top. i like tv's to blend in with consoles.}...
Console $65 {white would bring out the detail in this lovely inexpensive piece}...
Yes white would be gorgeous...
Nice Pair of Rococco Consoles $750 {simple mirror above and what a dramatic entry fit for a queen or one of my loyal subjects.}...
Or if the gold is too well gold then how about a grey wash (although I would definitely keep gold)...
(my apologies for using this image so much, but i just love it so.)
Beautiful Parisiene Wall Sconces $1200 {not my thang, but pretty unique don't you agree?}...
Bamboo Serving Cart $65 {spray paint it a wild color and dinner is served. would be awesome as a bar cart too. i promise i'm not a lush...seriously can't even drink.}...
Vintage Slipper Chairs (New Upholstery) $625 {simple white linen. perfect accent chairs.}
Cane/Glass End Table $15 {paint this bad boy.}...
Paint the above table a soft gold and voila you have something similar to this...
Bright Red Rattan Chair $35 {great price.}...
Mid-Century, Vintage Chair $35 {great desk chair. what color would you choose and what fabric? for such a small piece you wouldn't need a lot of fabric. even a curtain panel or two would suffice.}...
Bamboo Mirror $70 {paint if you so desire.}...
Country French Table and Chairs $149 {have a new home, need a sweet simple kitchen set, then this is for you.}...
Two Vintage wood and leather end tables $15 {put these together and you have a great big coffee table for projects. put them away and your kids can play}...
Pair of Modernist Wall Sconces $245/pair {hot mcm lighting!}...
William Sonoma Home Bamboo Chair $300 {offer less and make it your desk chair}...
Mid Century Modern Sideboard $45 {bar cart? bookshelf for toddler? night stand to hold all of those magazines and books? tv console? what would you use it for?}...
Brass Coffee Table with glass top $25 {ummm $25 my people. not for use with kids though.}...
Black Glass Coffee Table $60 {so retro chic. where's the ashtray?}...
The CL chair above reminds me of the velvet chair in this image...
Ball and Claw Foot Reading Chair $80 {i just love this. i need a real castle to fill up with all of these incredible finds.}...
The chair above would fit right into this room...
Louis XV Putty Gold French King Bed $1999 {a bed fit for a queen.}...

As always, several great finds I can dream all day long about having! It helps a lot how you have put together inspirational and likewise images. It´s not always one can see the potential in stuff, but you for sure opened my eyes with this!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a really great weekend Danielle!
Love the bamboo dining chairs...they would look amazing painted, and the french king headboard...wonderful!! Great new site ~
ReplyDeleteThanks so much everyone! I am really looking forward to seeing what I find in other CL's around the county. :) xx Danielle
ReplyDeleteOhhh....so many good finds. I really like that green chair. Love the color and the style.
ReplyDeleteFabulous finds as always and great inspiration. Love the dog in the Eames! Really love those rococco consoles - they could be really fabulous in the right space!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Danielle! I lovelovelove sharing this CL vice, although I do feel a bit envious. The Pacific Northwest sensibilities (I'm a Portland, OR C-lister) do not subscribe to the same depths-of-gorgeousness in design as other geographical locales. Probably has to do with lower population densities and less established historical occupation, plus the environmental vistas are so breathtaking that interior spaces seem wont to compete. The PNW "style" relies heavily on the organic, but there's just so much pine and "cabin style" I can take. LOVE living here, but I miss my east coast bling and edge. I've got to scour pretty hard and consistently to "win." Thanks for allowing me this vicarious joy, and double thanks for the inspirational comparisons. Yaay!!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds as always! I am so excited you are going to visit the CL in Myrtle beach (it is South Carolina...not Virginia).
ReplyDeleteHave a great week-end! - Patty
Therese...I hear you!
ReplyDeletePatty...looks like this Queen needs to get her geography correct before she begins her journey, heehee.
Hi Danielle!! What fantastic finds!! The only problem I really want to buy all of them...NOW!!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen these shirt-dresses?

I hear you Jill...I've got the same problem!
ReplyDeleteMelody...too funny! Haven't seen that before!
I am shocked with all your great finds in Myrtle Beach! I am just down the road in Charleston, and I can never find anything on our Craigslist!
