Steal of a Craigslist Find

I am currently addicted to Craigslisting… I love finding a good deal- something that needs a little tender love and care, but can be fixed up into a stunner!

My most recent discovery:

A gorgeous, (p)leather tufted armchair and matching ottoman. It just needs a little dusting and cleaning. We thought it was newer because of what good condition it is in. When we got there, the lady was telling us it belonged to her grandmother, and was at least 50 years old. She remembered it being in the sitting room, and that the kids weren’t really allowed to play on grandma’s “pretty” chair. How cool is that?! It’s super solid, and the frame has ZERO issues. Neither of us could believe it is actually older than 5years! These chairs go for roughly $500 brand new, and we got this for $120. I’m pretty pleased!

Do you have an AWESOME second-hand find? I want to see pictures!

The only thing “wrong” with it is the legs are scratched up a bit… But all they need is some careful sanding and staining and they will be as good as new :)
