Table & Chairs

I have another Craigslist find that I wanted to share with you. We were looking for a dining room set - table & chairs and had looked at furniture stores. A lot of the mid priced sets were junk! I was determined to find something better and cheaper on Craigslist. Finally, after looking for a while, I came across this one - it was a total blessing from God. The price was AMAZING!!! I was able to get it for $100! That's right! I have a hard time not sharing the price of things when they are an amazing deal.

Rob removed the old fabric from the seats. I washed the foam cushions in the bath tub & dried them in the dryer - took forever for that, by the way. Rob went with me to the fabric store & picked out the new fabric, which I really like. I was thankful to be able to use a 50% off coupon at JoAnn Fabrics, so it brought the price of the fabric way down - I think we spent a little over $30 on it.

With the new fabric, I recovered the chairs, with the help of my dear friend, Dawn - a.k.a. Mamabear's Den. She used her air compressor stapler gun.

So, here was the old cushion fabric:

And, here is the new:

The colors are much richer in person

The table came with 4 chairs & an extra leaf, so it will be perfect for years to come.

I'm so excited about this find. What about you? What's the best deal you've found on Craigslist?

Happy day!
