Last time I posted an I Spy a Craigslist Buy someone asked how often I do them or if I post on a specific day, I'll try to aim for every two weeks, but since I'm at the mercy of Craig I have to be flexible. :) I was thinking how much fun it would be to design an entire room with today's finds. I can't even let my brain go there, it won't turn off - imagining how to balance it all to work together, how each piece would function and then fabrics, colors, paint, accessories...it's endless.
These listings are currently available on Denver Craigslist.

Cabinet/Desk $50 (Erie)
I see these secretary desks all the time, but my favorite is this style with fretwork detail on the doors. This is a steal for $50, and they're gorgeous painted. I thought it looked like the finial at the top was broke off, but I've seen them without as well, so not sure. I love the idea of using one as a bar.

Thomasville Vintage Buffet $80 (Arvada)
The hardware is probably worth more than $80! Sounds like a great quality piece of furniture, there's nothing better than warm wood against a crisp white background.

It would make a great functional dining room buffet. I'd pair it with a table and chairs with more contrast than this, black or white would be pretty.The lamp and pendant are the perfect modern accents.

Painted and used as office storage.

Upholstered Bench $30 (Southeast Aurora)
38" x 17" x 23"
The fabric on this bench may be ok it's hard to tell, it looks like it could be a great global, boho style with some fun colors. If that doesn't work for you, a bold zebra print and some gold detail on the legs would give you this $2,000 Horchow look.
Beautiful Chair $30 (Lakewood)
In a heartbeat, I would paint this gem a dark or fun color to show off the silhouette. You guys know I have a weakness for inexpensive chairs, they make such an interesting statement. There's a lot going on in this area for me, but my eye goes directly to the silhouette of that charming chair.
Vintage Empire Style Sofa - Eclectic $400 (Denver)
Reupholstered from Calico Corners - down cushions, excellent condition.

Another lovely Craigslist photo, haha! Gingham and Buffalo checks are trending and paired with modern or edgy pieces take on a new vibe. Here are some ideas for how to mix checks to up the chic factor.
