The maddness has to stop! Im certifiably Craigs List Crazy!!

Ok, so like i mentioned in my last post.... im really into craigs list furniture shopping. Well... let me tell you that this favorite past-time has progressed into a full fledged addiction/disorder. And, whatever it is, its contagious, bc Sean has it as well! We both search craigs list with the key words "crate and barrel", "pottery barn" and "restoration hardware" multiple times daily. One friday night, i was so excited for the new listings to come out that i woke up at 3am and starting surfing the postings until 5am! And no... im not joking, this was real. Sad but true.

This obsession has totatly replaced my love of perez hilton and teddy & moos. (Well, actually, i dont check perez much anymore bc he no longer blogs about anyone on Sony's music label, which are pretty much all the big celebs that i want the juice on. But that is besides the point.)

For those of you who have come to cali for a visit, you know that we live in a 1 bdrm, 600 sq foot apartment. Its teeny tiny.... so small that sean uses the hallway closet for his clothes, and our computer desk too is in the hallway. Well... unfortunatly our apartment is now at capacity and there will be no more craigs listing for me. I must find a new obsession to fill my time inbetween excel spreadsheets at work... any suggestions?

Here are some pictures of our latest (and final) acquistions. Unfortunatly there really isnt any room to walk anymore, so you'll probably never get to come over and check them out... unless of course you dont mind sleeping on a really beautiful pottery barn coffee table :)


A matching set of 2 end tables and 1 coffee table from PB
A dark wood, distressed Armoire from CB
Vintage wrought iron queen bed (its solid... i checked)


Really cute White PB Madeline dresser.

Its actually from PB kids, but its good enough for grown up me and way nicer than any dresser i had as a kid!

And finally, a new desk.. our last one was particle board and was slumping in the middle from the weight of our computer monitor. And we have a flatscreen... so it was not a sturdy desk.

Oh Craigslist, best invention ever - but yes, very dangerous.

I wish I had a substitute site for you, but you hit my big three.

Sorry dude, but the furniture looks ab fab.

Can I hire you to do this for me one day when we buy a house? Nice finds!
