Post the gorgeous, goofy, and ghastly CL items here! Part deux

My3dogs ME zone 5A

Anele, you are DARN right I'd love that Grande Finale of the FIRST chapter of 'Post the gorgeous, goofy, and ghastly CL items here!' Vintage Swedish pine dresser with dovetail drawers. Where and how much? :-)

Who wants to make a Labor Day weekend trip to Maine for some free wood, as found on my CL today? Maybe if you're crafty, build your own 'armua' or faux Swedish Dresser.
Lots of dry wood

And I guess the BEAUTIFUL DOCTORS EXAM TABLE in part one could go either way, but I see it as having great possibilities as a kitchen island or bar. What a way to get the party started, by telling people what it was!

    jreuter, that's hilarious!

    I liked this ad...too much $ for the table I think, but someone may want it at that price
    " Stornas table and some kinda chairs for being fancy hosts - $350 (Bothell)

    So my almost ex-husband and I bought this table from Ikea thinking "ooh la la, lookit us, we're going to have fancy dinner parties and fancy cocktail parties and fancy brunches ooh la la so fancy" when in reality all we did was use it as a surface upon which to store junk mail, used coffee cups, and other completely un-fancy evidence that we are, in fact, super boring. Could you use it as it was meant to be used? $350 for the table itself (seriously, it's pretty much unused) and, oh, I dunno, $30 a chair? I have 2 others somewhere in the house, probably being used to store magazines or important papers that really should be filed like last month. Let me know how many you want and I'll do math."

    Think something's missing here....... "Excellent condition" if you didn't want the doors on the top ; )

    I also saw a desk that I donated a couple of years ago for sale for $350.00!!! I know it's the one because I changed out the pulls on the drawers.

    If you're going to try to sell your things, at least clean them up!

    At least the table has a protective cover on it. Wish I could say the same of the occupant of the chair...eww.

    Olychick, that was hilarious! I was expecting something ENTIRELY different since "fancy" was used so often.

    Ooh, la, la~ My family must be sooo fancy for eating at a TABLE every day.

    Now, this is one of a kind, so I expect there will be a battle over who will get it to grace their landscape.

    Steel Art Sculpture of Nude Woman & Lawn Roller - $475 (Arundel, Maine)
    "This is a life size sculpture of a woman, and an antique heavy duty landscape roller, that can be filled with water to add weight when compacting dirt, sand or whatever. The two components are not attached to each other and therefore can be moved individually."

    I will take the barn doors and hardware on the concrete block building. Who the heck would think that could even be moved.

    Sandy, thanks for your link. I looked up my area and now know where the better items are for sale. My CL is made up of RTA furniture and anything one would just give away. We have an Army base here, which I think is the reason there isn't much of value. A lot of moving going on from the base. Plus most of the ads are commercial.

    The last couch makes me ill.

    I don't know if that is the neatest or the ugliest sofa I've ever seen. Maybe Neatugly. It would be awesome for a theater room though, wouldn't it? You just need a very long ottoman to go with it and shape it in a large V shape. Or maybe two smaller arches with one behind the other set up one step from the one in front. Ha ha ha. I'm only half joking here.

  • Boopadaboo

    Reviving because I really want this and cant' figure out where I could put it :)

    do you think it would work to keep a DVD player on under a flat screen? then could be extra toy storage in my family room????

    I wonder if it is old or made to look old. It is not as wide as my flat screen so that might be a dumb idea :(

  • Imhappy&Iknowit IOWA zone 4b

    You can put that in my house!! How much are they asking? Probably a good thing it's not on my craigslist. I've already paid their light bill this month.

  • Boopadaboo
    9 years ago

    oh sorry I forgot to put that. They are asking $595. Seems a bit high no?

    but I LOVE it for some reason. My TV is 52 inches wide and this, not sure what it is but it is 47 inches wide. the wall that the TV is on now is 56 inches wide.

  • Boopadaboo
    9 years ago

    I still want that piece. they have not lowered the price yet though.

    anyone in NJ area looking for pieces to redo? these people can't seem to get rid of these Harden pieces. I am tempted by the blue chair and ottoman, but it is not too close and I would like a pair that are smaller.

  • Elraes Miller

    The piece would make a great island for the kitchen. But the price would put me off, unless it is a specified antique of known origins. And, I really like it too and would love to know what you find out about it.

    But...not for your TV situation. Try looking for the possibility of built ins to soften the huge amount of space it is taking. I have a 55 on one wall and it has driven me crazy to figure something out to make it go away. All the electronics are behind the wall in a closet which does help, no wires seen. I know there are a lot of ideas for doors to close up and hide it, but that isn't going to happen.

    Glad to see this resurrected, as I just found a 6 foot leather giraffe on the Maine CL! Someone must need one of these.

    Boop, that cabinet you show looks to be the real deal as far as being antique. I'd be wanting it, too, if it was in 'my' CL, but where to put it?

    That brings to mind the eBay add I've seen for a couple of years. The screen name changes but the "merchandise" remains the same. Selling used socks? Be sure to read the feed back.

    Anele, maybe the K is a typo? Or they don't know what K stands for, might be more like it!

    edited: oops, I didn't see they actually had a 4 digit price in the ad. Maybe they'll eventually lower it to $25 so someone can say they got a $4K table for $25!

    I've read about this. "Pre-owned" appeals to some people for their 'enjoyment'. Yesterday, I read an article about a woman selling pre-owned undies. She's making a killing.

    Well, I don't know about that, whitelacey, the sock ad says "This is not an adult item and is not a fetish item." :) Also says they'll be washed to CL standards. Whew.

    I think that there is some behind the scenes bargaining going on.

    I feel traumatized from seeing that beached whale sofa. It is beyond ugly, it frightened me.

  • Boopadaboo

    lol that sofa was bad, and I do not understand the wine table. the cabinet I wanted went down in price, but only $20.

    I wish I needed a Dr set. I happen to like this set and the prices seems so good compared to the stuff you usually see for $600.
