Reminder - don't get sucked in by the used and tired words "shabby chic" in craigslist or ebay postings. That was 25 years ago people - and if your house is full of that stuff, it pretty much looks like a dirty little rat's nest. Try to be careful not to pick up stuff that other people have painted or recovered badly - they will probably call it "shabby chic" instead of "I fucked this up and don't want it in my house now, so YOU buy it"! But that's what they mean. Look for quality stuff at reasonable prices, and the less tampered with, the better. Now go forth and get something awesome.
 |
| Nesting tables $150 - I love nesting tables. |
 |
| Small server - $250 - This is pretty unique and if you have a smallish space, it would make a nice little place for snacks or cocktails. The top folds out too. |
 |
| Set of 4 chairs $100 - I would maybe re-cover them but the design is really nice. |
 |
| Dresser - $75 - I have a dresser similar to this and it's a really nice bedroom piece or put it somewhere in a hall or main room. |
 |
| Teak lamps - $75 - Replace the shades with wider shorter drum shades and they would be great and modern looking. |
 |
| Antique mirrors on ebay -$124 buy it now. These have never been out of their box according to the listing. Side by side, I love them. |
 |
| Mirror - $99ish- Nice over a fireplace - and since my fireplace mirror broke into a million pieces, I'm in the market. Maybe this would be good as is, or painted? |
