How is it already Monday??! Weekends go by way too fast!
We had a great weekend. Maybe the most exciting part {besides the amazing end to Bama's football game!} was our little Craigslist find! Right before Z and I got married, we found our couch set on Craigslist for $300... Both the couch and loveseat were in mint condition and probably would have cost at least $1,000 if we had bought them new! Well since we moved into our condo here in Chicago, we have been talking about buying a dining room table. I found a few that I liked... for pretty good deals... but once you added at least 4 chairs the price seemed to sky rocket :/ So fast forward to Saturday morning... I was scouring Craigslist again and saw an add for a Crate and Barrel table with a leaf and 6 chairs for $150!!!! I immediately contacted the seller and arranged to see the table in person. We were both quite sceptical... definitely seemed too good to be true. Plus, we were pretty sure the photo was a stock photo. Turns out, the table was as advertised and the photo was not a stock pic... their house was just that nice! And the table only had a few very minor scratches and a few stains on the seats {which I plan to recover anyways} so we bought it!! Another amazing Craigslist score! The only obstacle was the fact that we don't know anyone in Chicago with a truck :/ but thankfully, you can rent a truck from Home Depot for less than $30. Anyways, long story but here is our new table...
Super excited about it!! I can't wait to recover the chair cushions. Here are a few fabric ideas that I'm loving...

Hmm... going to be so hard to choose!!
