Easter Weekend/Furniture Find

I am loving Pittsburgh Craigslist. It rocks! I mean I have found the best stuff and the best prices I've seen anywhere. If the storage unit could hold more I would be all over it.

(Easter Weekend) Clark arrived late Friday night...I had already made an apt. to look at some furniture for Abby's room before I knew he was coming SO, on Sat. the plan was to look at the furniture put what we could in the van and then maybe rent a truck or something the next week to haul it to the storage unit. But, thanks to Clark...we used the ZipCar truck in Pittsburgh and were able to haul it all on Saturday. It was so nice to have Clark's help. I don't think we could have done it with out him. Not what Clark was planning on doing for 5 hours on a beautiful Saturday, but I'm gald he was a good sport.

Of course my awesome van! Yeah that's right I said awesome (LOL) hauled what didn't fit in the truck. I scored an entire room of furniture for Abby. I had purchased a night stand for her a few years ago at a consignment shop and have been looking for the past couple of years for the matching pieces. Well I scored! The pieces match perfectly.

It's kind of a girly French Provencal set from I don't know, the 50's-60's maybe. It's a creamy yellowish gold with gold details and scrolled legs and lots of girly touches. We are for sure going to give the pieces a face lift although Abby likes them just the way they are...of course!

This is a picture of what the furniture looks like. We got the following:

1. Full size bed, mattress, box spring, frame, headboard/footboard

2. night stand

3. 5 drawer tall dresser

4. long 6 drawer dresser with mirror

5. desk and chair.
