Happy Friday!

Am I the only one who thought this week went by at a snail’s pace? I knew it was bad when even one of my kids came into class yesterday and said “It’s Friday!”

I sadly had to break the news that it was not, in fact, Friday.

But today is!

Today we’re browsing around the Craigslist in Chicago for Brooke who just bought her first house – congratulations, Brooke! I found some stuff that I’m pretty jealous of, so hopefully she’ll find something she likes!

I’m in love with that bedroom set…and that milk glass bowl? So gorgeous!

Happy Friday! It’s been a long week for Corey and I and I’m pretty pumped that the weekend is upon us. We’ve only got 5 weeks left before summer (!), which is even more exciting.

Today for our Friday Finds we’re headed up to South Jersey for my friend, Mandy. She asked me to do this a while ago but she’s been vacationing for the past couple of weeks so I was waiting for her to return to this side of the world. Now that she’s back, let’s see what Jersey has to offer, shall we?

That sideboard is TO. DIE. FOR. And that dresser is looking a bit (or a lot) rough, but it’s got major potential!

What have you found on your Craigslist lately? Anyone else desperate for this weekend to get here?

Y’all – it’s March! We made it! And, um, I officially only have one week of teaching left before I get a whole week off for spring break, so I’m in a pretty happy place right now.

Today we’re checking out the Craigslist finds in Columbus, Ohio for Nicolle, who says she knows there are a ton of great options in her area but she just can’t find the time to look. Luckily, I’ve always got time for my good friend, Craig, so I’m happy to help out. Let’s see what we’ve got today!

Ah, it’s Friday! I don’t know about you, but I’m oh so ready for the weekend. Well, really, who is ever NOT ready for the weekend? Not me, that’s for sure.

I’m excited to be doing another Craigslist Friday Finds this week, and this is another fabulous reader request, which are always my favorite to do. This week, Jill emailed me asking for help finding something in Raleigh, North Carolina. She’s mainly searching for a dresser to refinish, but has a hard time finding something that isn’t already redone (and incredibly pricey). I’m always drawn to the dressers on Craigslist, so I was particularly excited to tackle this one.

You ready to see what I found? There are quite a few here that are in definite need of some love, but they have great bones! I think that with a fresh coat of paint (or stain) and some fun drawer pulls, maybe even some campaign details, any of these could be a fabulous dresser!

The last one is definitely my favorite – I LOVE the legs on it…and I’m pretty sure I spy some casters on the bottom. That’s a favorite detail of mine!

Any ideas on how Jill could spruce up these dressers?

It’s been a while since I’ve done a reader-requested Friday Finds, but when I did a call for requests a few weeks ago I got a couple of emails and I was super excited to get back into exploring some other cities to see what their Craigslist has to offer!

The first one we’re going to do is for a reader named Emma who actually lives in New Brunswick. Their version of Craigslist is called Kijiji, so that’s what I used for our finds today. Emma says she browses for things frequently but has been feeling uninspired lately, and she’s hoping I can find something to help out with that. So, let’s see what we’ve got.

(Moncton Kijiji – $125)

(Moncton Kijiji – $40)

(Moncton Kijiji – $140)

(Moncton Kijiji – $80)

(Moncton Kijiji – $300 for the whole set)

(Moncton Kijiji – $100)

So many inspiring pieces – they all could use a little love, but that’s the most fun part, no?

Have a happy weekend, friends! And if you’re looking for someone to browse Craigslist for ya, shoot me an email at amanda@loveandrenovations.com, and I’ll see what I can do!
