Free stuff!


Well.... close to free. These are my latest additions to my place. Its been hard to find furniture for my place since I have all these wacky ideas of what I want to do with it. So, as I am figuring out a way to make these wacky ideas become reality, I've taken in furniture temperarily. Of course, I wouldn't want to pay too much for temperary(which will probably still stay around for a while) furniture . So, I went trolling around on Craigslist. That is were the bench was found. Listed price $75. June haggled it down to $50. Nice! Especially, when anything bench like that I've seen has been more into the $200 range. And, I had been looking for a table for a long time too. But, everything that I like is $500 and above. There was one I really liked that was $960. Sigh, just too much for my blood at this stage. BUT, I was checking my apartment building's community email group and someone was offering a table for free. Yep, free! Just needed to go by and pick it up. I was looking for squarish table, but this white round table would do for the time being. It's an Ikea item. And, it was in a very good condition. Plus, the folks giving it away were very nice. They even helped me take it apart. And, the table and bench actually helped me set the color tone for my kitchen. It actually hit me when I was at the Chocolate Bar with June. Basically, the Chocolate Bar's colors. Dark brown, orange, white, and a lighter brown. Something in there. So, I've owned my place for a year and have lived in it for less than half of that time, but its still a work in progress. Whew, its a long process...
