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?}...

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.}...
