More furniture shopping.
Aug. 4th, 2009 01:30 amSo instead of antique shopping every day, I just visit Craigslist and type in "antique" to the "for sale" search. Mostly it's either overpriced, not-that-old "antiques," or just old junk. But occasionally, something like this dresser will catch my eye.
I have no idea as to what age it could be, what style furniture, nothin'...but it looks pretty. And that's a reasonable price, as long as it's a reasonable piece--good condition, usable, etc. I've been looking for something to replace a set of Rubbermaid drawers I've been using to store sewing supplies. The only other thing I've even considered as a possibility was a sheet music cabinet at Somewhere in Thyme in Grandville...but it's missing half the back and would need a replacement shelf in order to really be usable.
This dresser is actually cheaper, and I might even like the design on the front more. I emailed to ask for dimensions, though, because if I go see it and am interested, it has to be able to fit a) in my car and b) in my apartment before I'll fork over any cash.
Also, I just saw that this drysink has popped up again. The same person has been listing it for varying prices since...oh, last fall. This wouldn't be quite as serviceable as the dresser, I think, but I've been eyeballing it for a while. Hmmm.
