score!

Yesterday I bought a solid oak, round, pedestal table with two benches and a leaf insert for 40 dollars. I can't even begin to describe how stoked I am! I would post before and after photos but I don't want to waste nap time posting the before or there will never be an after! I'm off to sand and prime and paint!

*Sidenote before I go. Is Tucson the only place where Craigslist is 99% a joke? I swear if I read one more, "I bought this couch only two years ago for 400 and am selling it now, in excellent condition, for 300," I am going to go crazy! Seriously people?! I don't care where or when you bought that couch! The second you put it in your living room and rested your soggy behind on it the value went straight to no more than 50 bucks! And that's pushing it! Ugh! When did Craigslist go from an online garage sale to a place for the white trash to try and make money?! Just asking.

Craigslist here is pretty sketchy too. Only thing I have found worthy was a high chair for $15.

Its a joke here too, and if you post anything on it you get a million and one stalkers...I really dislike graiglist now.

You can get bed bugs from used couches and they will spread and infect the whole house. I saw it on TV so it has to be true!

We're looking for a couch here in Ithaca on craigslist and it is ridiculous. Someone is selling a 30-year-old couch for $50. I just think that when a couch is 30 years old, no matter how good of condition it's in, it should be free. Or junked. I think we'll end up buying a new, cheap one. The thought of sitting on a stranger's used couch just kind of grosses me out.
