King size headboard and frame

Update: Sold for $85


I got this awesome head board for $30.  Hoping to sell it for $95.  It is pretty awesome.

coffee and side tables

I bought the set for $45 and sold it in an hour or so for $85 - I wish everything would sell this quickly!  No refinishing was neccessary- thank goodness!

Dressers

Update: white dresser sold for $30
Update: wood dresser sold for $35
This brown dresser I bought for $5.  . . then I had to replace hardward for $11 - which basically equals not a super great deal.   Both dressers are all hardwood though so that is good right?
I bought this white dresser for $7.  I was hoping to just paint it white and be done with it, I am a horrible spray painter so that didn't work out too well. It quickly turned to a distressed shabby chic project.  It looks king of cute.  

Cradle

I sold it for $15 because the leg was cracked.  Note to self -pay more attention to the condition of furniture before you buy it! 


I paid $10 for this cradle and it wasn't in as good of shape as I had thought originally so I don't know if it will be huge money maker.  We'll see.  

Coffee Table- glass with rod iron accents

Sold for $45. 



I also had to refinish this fabulous coffee table that I bought for $15.  I had stain already.  It cleaned up beautifully.

Another table and chairs

Update: table sold for $150.  

So my big money maker(hopefully) is this lovely table which I scored for $25.  I had to refinish the top, but otherwise in awesome shape.  I had to buy stain for $7 too.

Crazy Vase


I bought this vase for myself, but the hubs was not a fan and it was a bit more red once I got it into my house than it seemed in her driveway.  Because it was for me I was willing to pay a little more for it- I paid $10 and sold it for $20.

Stocking Holder

My friend Jen does awesome vinyl work - one of my new favorites is her stocking holder.  It is perfect for the season. . . I just kept finding myself thinking how can I make that work in my house?   I love things that are unique and that look 100 years old, so I was debating how I could beat it up and stain it to make it look my style.

I found this star board this weekend for $2 and decided for that price I would take a chance.  It was sky blue and adorable - with a little gold and black spray paint and a garbage bag I "becked" this sucker out.  The pic doesn't show the detail well enough.  I love it!  

Favorite Find


I totally scored on refinishing goods.  A retired crafter unloaded an entire box of paint and stain for $10.  This has come in handy on the last 4 refinishing projects and many more to come.  

So, my furniture is not getting much interest which is kind of a bummer as my garage is full of great stuff . . .that won't sell (at least not in the first 3 days).  Wish me luck, say a prayer.  

Patio Chairs

Update: sold to my cousin for my cost.  They didn't get much notice- not the proper season to sell patio sets I think.  Plus I knew she wanted them, so I didn't try that hard to sell them.  


I bought this set for $15, it included a side table that doesn't match that well so I am going to post it seperatly.  I have it listed for $45.  

Small drop-leaf table and Great chairs

Update: Sold for $60, had $20 into it. 


This set was refinished when I bought it- but they were skimping on paint so I laid one more round on this cute set.  The cushions were a lovely Aztec fabric that I recovered.  After buying new fabric for this set, I have spent $20 on it.  I am selling it for $75.

Desk

Update: sold for $65, bought for $15



I found this desk for $15.  I thought it was solid wood at the time, I was wrong.  There were some very worn spots so I stained it, not thinking it would work.  It actually looks pretty darn great!  

Sofa Table

Update: Sold for $45, had $10 into it.  



I bought this fun sofa table for $10. I was told it is teak wood.  I refinished it and it looks so great!  Not sure why the picture rotated. 

Armoire

Update: Sold for $80, had $30 into it.  

I found this little beauty for $30.  It had a light stain and a few scratches on it, I still had some stain on hand and refinished it. I am going to try for $175.  It is solid wood and looks great if you ask me.  As for the staging, I realize the picture is about six inches too low but I don't want put another hole in my wall. :)

Kids furniture


Update: sold for $55
This cute set is new in the box. I paid 15, listed for $80.

New finds: Coach Purse

Update: sold for $75


Last week was a bit discouraging with only one small find.  A few fun things this week, one of which was this great Coach purse that I got for $5.  I have it listed on craigslist for $125, which is high(for craigslist not for ebay) but Ry said it doesn't take up much room in our home, so just list it high and hang on to it until we get top dollar.  The pic does not do it justice, it is Fab-U-Lous!
