sectional
I found this guy for $25 on craigslist at 10:00pm at night, sold it by 11:00am the next morning for $175. Aaaahhhhh. I think I should keep shopping on craigslist!

I found this beauty at a garage sale for $40. It had nice lines but nothing too note worthy. I took care of that! Here are the before and afters on our lovely red piano. I am worried about my refinishing skills, it looks gorgeous . . I just hope it wears well. It came with a bench that I have yet to do.

bedroom set
Tis the season to be jolly . . . and broke. There have been few garage sales this month and nothing worth buying. This sent me shopping on craigslist for goodies. I found this set for $175 and sold it for $300 - way less than usual, but most people have already blown their Christmas $, so I'm taking it and running!

Rustic set.
When I bought the furniture for Lauren's room FOREVER ago, they gave me this amoire - broken. I had been a lazy bones about fixing it. But six months later when I got a couple of tables that matched it exactly I got off my tooshy. I paid ten dollars for new hinges and $25 for the two tables. Sold the set for $150.

A keeper!!!
I found this piano for $40. That's right, forty bones jones! They had refinished just the piano at some point- not very well I might add. The piano finish is different than the bench finish. I am going to strip this sucker and try to make it shine. There are lots of dings and chips so I am hopeful the wood filler won't be too obvious or I will have to change directions and paint it. Wish me luck! I can't wait for my babies to learn piano from their grandma!

Antique Hutch
I got this gorgeous hutch that someone had started to refinish and then stopped for $20. I was thinking I would put the work in and sell it for a heap, but I've got a bunch of school work to do so I posted it for $80 as is and had a bunch of interest. Sold for $80- kind of sad I didn't have the time. It is a magical piece!

Verrado goodies
Found this dresser and bunk bed for $20 - need a little TLC. Sold dresser for $20, got a $20 deposit from someone else who didn't show up, then resold them for $65.
Verrado wasn't quite the gold mine it was last year for me, but I still left with a few treasures. I found this gorgeous dresser for $20 and a bed with like-new mattress set for $25 - we're calling it a set. Sold mattress set only for $100. Sold the dresser for $75.
Found this stunning coffee table for $20. Sold for $45- I was suckered a bit, way too low for my liking.
I found this set of tables for $30. Sold for $80.
Found this rustic dresser and two matching night stands for $40. Sold for $200.
