it's been a while since i posted a craigslist search for a client...
mainly out of fairness to the client..
i don't want a bunch of you knuckleheads snatching up all the good shit i find before the client has a chance to!
i just said 'client' 3 times.
anyway, this time is different.
maureen doesn't live in louisville yet.
she is moving there and this is sort of a trial run.
here criteria was this:
"I like nice! Simple antiques - not too much mahogany - lighter. Biedermeier. Traditional - some contemporary. I don't like cheap or mid-century modern. I am not nearly as clever as you are with the sanding and painting, so any item would have to be redone by a craftsman"
oversize wingback chair-$50
great price.
new upholstery yes. and fast.
wingback chairs- $100 for the pair
again great price.
the upholstery isn't the worst ever. depending on your room i suppose this teal green could work. a couple of leopard pillows on both would help their cause.
pottery barn 5x8 kilim- $125
great rug. a classic. offer 100.
wool tufted 5x8 rug- $125
love it.
modern, interesting, good.
would work well with traditional furniture.
keep it from looking too stiff...and traditional.
marble top, brass base table- $25
cute. not cookie cutter. price=amazing.
unique french country bench- $80
cute for a kids room. spray paint it. new upholstery.
talk that price way down.
couch- $375
nice shape.
add some bright pillows.
baker writing desk- $350
love it. you could paint it a pretty gray blue...
or leave it as is. just polish it up.
great as a desk or as a bedside table/desk or even in an entry.
offer 200.
chandelier- $150
i want this so very badly.
living room, dining room, entry, bedroom...whatever.
this this rocks and it's only 150 dollars!!!!?!?
vintage red and white metal table- $10
greatness.
kid's bedside table.
bathroom storage.
animal print chairs- $40
this woman has a bunch and they are only 40 dollars.
and they are very cute. for that desk up there, duh.
or flanking your fireplace, doubleduh!
vintage french vanity- $175
such a pretty piece.
i am fairly sure i would take the mirror off and either use it as a desk or bedside table/vanity and/or get a new mirror. the original feels too heavy.
sofa- $150
great shape. very unique piece.
i am dying to see the bottom close up.
i would definitely upholster it immeds.
brass bench- $10
in an entry. this fabric:
padded kilim benches- $40
i think this is the same woman who does the animal print chairs.

antique empire chest- $150
are you fucking kidding me?
