B&A: Coffee Table

craigslist....I think that is the reason I married a Craig. 

Yea, that's what I am gonna go with cause I love craigslist so why wouldn't I fall in love with a Craig??

It's all so clear now! 

We found this awesome coffee table on craiglist for $125, bought it for $100 and after squeezing it into my ity-bity Celica with the hatch held open using four bungee cords - we got it home! I totally love this table, it's got a black velvet lined drawer on the top to display little trinkets under the glass and a deep drawer on two sides.  Only problem? it was hunter green...

 

So I painted it purple. :-)

Now all we need for our living room is some couches. The camping chairs (1st pic, left side) are getting uncomfortable! ....Oh!! We could use a maid too.

B&A: Nesting Tables

First off: I love craigslist. 

I bought these nesting tables for $10. They were in dire need of a makeover. So I sanded down the tops to get rid of the water marks/bubbles and painted them the same color I used on a previous B&A. 

A simple fix which yielded a great result.

B&A: Buffet

This before & after was done a little over a year ago. I got this pine buffet cabinet from a seller on craigslist for $100. Loved the style of it, but I am not a fan of pine. I prefer darker colors like espresso and chocolate. I found a paint color that was similar to our dining table set and had at it!
