Home Sweet Almost Home #3 :: Craigslist Finds

Although things are bumpy with the lender, I’m hoping we will be able to move forward with the loft! If not, all these decorating ideas will look great in another space. I’m learning a lot about why these lofts went to auction and how hard it is to get a loan when a building isn’t 51% full! I’m staying optimistic though and hoping escrow will still close by February 15th!

So, last night I was up late (I’m pretty sure I’m still on Thailand time) so I decided to search Craigslist for some items. I started practical. I need to get a stackable washer and dryer and really don’t care if it is new or not. I found one, less than a year old for $450! Not a bad deal! If anybody is in need of a side by side washer and dryer I will have one available soon! After the washer/ dryer find I started searching for a few fun items. First, I found these chairs…

I guess they are designer chairs made by David Rowland. They can be found in the Brooklyn Museum permanent collection… whatever that means. It sounds impressive but I really just like the look of them! I have no idea what I’m going to do with them but I’m picking them up today! They are stackable so I figure if I can’t find a permanent spot for them, they will be fun to pull out if I have a lot of guests over.

So after finding the chairs I was really loving the idea of vintage furniture… like real vintage, not a broken down couch from the 80′s. I found this couch and fell in love with it! It needs to be recovered but I think it would look so amazing with the rest of the design ideas Kelly is coming up with! I haven’t decided if I want to get it yet… what do you think?

So, yeah, my new favorite place is craigslist! Great place to find your furniture but probably not your wedding photographer! =)

The home inspection was on Tuesday so I took a few more pictures of the loft…

I’m so excited about this kitchen, I might actually learn how to cook! Jeremy Hatch from AmeriSpec did a great job with the inspection!

I love the industrial feel of the building!
