what a steal. 4 of these cool chairs (including delivery. which is unheard of!) for only $375 total. Emailed Midtown owner about these already. not crazy about the fabric but can't wait to see these french regency chairs in person.

Cheap ABC Home & Carpet

2010-04-28T19:53:00.000-07:00

Down $400 from its original pricetag, this chrome entryway table is worth checking out. Not sure if it is too awkardly tall as an entry table but love the cool legs on it. Seller has also posted his pricey arc lamp - which i love for any living room space if you want to invest in a great floor lamp.

A little bit fancy

2010-04-28T14:56:00.000-07:00

$90 mirrored dresser from this Midtown East owner. Only initially retailed at $150 and believe it's sold at either Pier 1 or at Daffys... so it's way more lightweight than it looks. A great buy!

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1715092419.html

vintage morrocan

I love this vintage morrocan coffee table the Midtown owner had purchased from Calypso Home for $800. Is now asking $400 for it. Love it because it's so unique & not your traditional coffee table.

Love from LA's Paisely Petunia

Feeling very loved. My generous Venice, California long-time friend asked me to guest blog on her popular lifestyle blog, Paisely Petunia. For this occassion, I browsed through the LA area Craigslist furniture postings. I went with an all-mirrored/old glam theme. See post here:

Vintage Louis XVI

2010-02-23T18:14:00.000-08:00

These are amazing. (But note these are not your typical CL steal either.) Set of 8 Dining Chairs in "perfect vintage condition". The interior designer owner has recently had them professionally re-upholstered..chocolate brown velvet with gold design. I'm in love with these and only wish I had the $3k handy to buy them all!

Lacey love

2010-01-27T18:31:00.000-08:00

'Wood Console/Media Unit ' does not sound so hot but Brocade Home's espresso-colored lacey version really is...Seems to fit a good amount of stuff too. Practically brand new from this Gramercy owner.. which is why asking price is high at $400.
http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1570955652.html

empire style

2010-01-24T19:22:00.000-08:00

Not too Shabby...

2010-01-24T19:05:00.000-08:00

...is the name of this seller in new jersey. They custom paint any piece of furniture, yours or theirs. I like this shimmer and creme wooden dresser... but not much else on their company website.http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fud/1566653229.html

Sexy(?)Leopard Chair

ZGallerie fave

2010-01-01T19:24:00.000-08:00

Best collection of furniture pieces ever is this Borghese Collection at Zgallerie. When the Manhattan store locatioin used to be open, I bought the 7-drawer dresser and wished I could have been able to afford every other piece to match. Owner is selling her Nightstand -"handworked antique beveled mirror over veneers and hardwood solids with antique silver ﬁnish" for $300 which is a decent savings. Picture doesn't show how pretty these pieces are.

UWS Antique Sofa

2009-11-28T18:48:00.000-08:00

Really want to see this Victorian Serepentine Sofa in person... fabric is "orginal gold brocade." Looks deep enough for a decent nap too. Owner is only asking $250. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1485845724.html

Longtime Favorite

2009-11-22T17:20:00.000-08:00

I've been eyeing these antique Dubois mirrors from Crate & B. forever. Don't know why I never got around to just spluring and buying a set of 2. They look like they mirrors at Balthazar ... purposely speckled/aged looking. Owner is offering 1 for $65. Think Im going to buyyyy!!

tufted + ABC + new + cheap = true love

2009-10-12T16:15:00.000-07:00

Asking $350 (or best offer) for a tufted "virtually new" brocade that the owner had ABC Home & Carpet custom design for her. Not in love with it being cream-colored but everything else makes up for it. So very Upper-East-Side-ish.. Love it. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1418539463.html

L.E.S. basics

2009-10-12T15:56:00.000-07:00

Pottery barn sectoinal couch and coffee table look like they are in great condition. No details though re: fabric, asking price, etc. Worth looking into...

Not dad's desk chair

2009-09-07T13:48:00.000-07:00

I really hate office swivel desk chairs - but i think someday when i have a big office & have to get one, i'll get a cool modern one like this. cream-colored and chrome..v sleek looking. $50 seems okay.

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1362604656.html

wholly wingback

2009-09-07T13:43:00.000-07:00

hmmm... not sure how i feel about white leather, but i love this design. "vintage leather wingback chair in ivory leather with nailhead detail" sounds fabulous. union square & asking for $400 - i would offer 2. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1351754126.html

Ten dollar chelsea discovery

2009-08-04T16:58:00.000-07:00

A great big framed vintage poster for only $10 ... plus the promise of a mirror.

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1305878259.html

Moderno

2009-06-27T19:24:00.000-07:00

i feel like I see this coffee table all the time... i like it, i think. $100 is pretty reasonable since all west elm's tables are $300+ Like the dark wood. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1240014212.html

more brocade

2009-06-27T19:12:00.000-07:00

i've had the best luck this week with Brocade Home finds!!! so rare to see on CL. seller notes price is negotiable too. pretty chandelier for any home. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1243031242.html

in love

2009-06-26T18:24:00.000-07:00

Really want this cool chair the owner purchased from my very FAVORITE Brocade Home. Doesn't look that comfy but can admire/stare at it from my comfy couch. Going to offer$45.

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1239614085.html

Big one on Bowery

2009-06-26T17:22:00.000-07:00

great deal for such a big sturdy looking wood coffee table. hopefully the drawers shown facing out aren't wicker...i can't quite tell. Love a big table like this you can eat & work on.. and hold tons of coffee table books. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1231145615.html

Glass/Aluminum combo

2009-05-24T16:53:00.000-07:00

Small coffee table with glass top. Might act better as a bedside table or couchside table for a lamp. Owner asking for half of what he paid. $150. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1184193194.html

Pretty Petrie

2009-05-24T16:39:00.000-07:00

I almost bought this couch (not in white though!) at C & B a few years ago. Still love it - especially the tufted cushions. modern and cool - it just looks great. If you can maintain a white couch, this is a great buy for $650. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1183617230.html

5th Floor Walk-Up prize

2009-05-18T19:35:00.000-07:00

I would walk up the 5 floors in an East Village apt building for this very shabby chic dresser. I love it - and love the color... Think I'd only offer $100 though.. maybe $150.

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1168940350.html

ABC home & carpet vs. kitty cats

2009-05-01T18:38:00.000-07:00

Amazing ABC L-Shaped couch from a beautiful union square apartment is listed for only $250. 2 years old. HOWEVER the mention of "cats" (plural!) in this ad grosses me out... but maybe couch is worth it though..... & also - at that asking price you can afford to get a professional couch cleaning as well. Does look comfy!!

hipster giveaway

2009-05-01T18:18:00.000-07:00

Seller got her blonde wood vintage dresser from a hipster furniture shop in Williamsburg...

I love that she replaced original drawer handles with new ones from Anthro. If you have space for a big dresser like this .... looks like a great buy for only $30.

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1142901033.html

Magic.....

2009-04-24T18:15:00.001-07:00

I've never seen this one of these. This West Elm table lamp appears to have a white shade when bulb is turned off ... and when bulb is on the pretty green floral design is visible. A very earthy cool hippy lamp - i love it. Only $25

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1131236960.html

baby green chic

2009-04-24T17:54:00.000-07:00

I think in the flesh, this large shabby chic dresser is sage colored..and isn't as dark as it seems in the pic. The knobs look cute - but you could easily buy cool replacement crystal/glass ones if you don't like these white ones. Could be yours for $50 or $60 rather than the $100 I bet.

2009-04-13T18:20:00.000-07:00

Seller has some amazing stuff for amazing prices ($25 for ea designer lamp!?) For this solid glass dining room table, she is only asking $400 or best offer.. If you research a bit, you'll see this owner, a lovely girl named Sarah, has a second ad posted with more pics of her designer furniture. And I love the looks of her fancy Tribeca home..

Baby blue chic

2009-04-05T15:31:00.000-07:00

I love this!!! (and I might be alone in saying that) I love this shabby chic dresser's sky blue color and love the old fashion drawer handles.... The owner (who really didn't give the dresser a proper photoshoot!) is selling it for $50 in his elevator building in Gramercy.

(60" (L) x 18" (w) x 33" (H)

Chocolate Brown Velvet!

2009-04-04T16:07:00.000-07:00

Crate and Barrel makes this very classic modern couch and sells it for much more than the $400 the owner is asking. Color looks really pretty too... and easy to match with whatever else you may have going on... 86'' w x 37'' d x 331/2'' H http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1104040429.html

To make your junk look pretty

2009-04-01T18:41:00.000-07:00

West Elm Media Tower. Union Square. Selling for $50 versus the $300+ retail price. Great storage space. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1102538071.html

Your breakfast table, your tv stand, your desktop...

2009-04-01T18:15:00.000-07:00

My best friend and I ironically ended up with the same expandable dining room table in our apts. Difference is she uses it for dinner parties (in its most expanded form) and I use it for candles/flowers/nothingness (in its least expanded form) ... Love tables like this one being sold that can be used for a million different things. Grown to like espresso finishes too. Only 30 bucks. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1101726485.html

Practical Pieces

2009-04-01T17:30:00.000-07:00

A few basic pieces for great prices.. Everything priced under $100 and the cute coach for just a bit more than that. Loveseat-sized couch, ivory armchair and a good-sized glass coffee table all waiting for you on the Upper East! http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1092990838.html

UES style

2009-03-20T21:01:00.000-07:00

An Upper East Sider's Antique End Table is petite and old-looking and... a perfect paint subject. I would paint it a faded faded yellow lemon shade .. pretty. And only $40. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1082695133.html

Can't beat it

2009-03-18T19:05:00.000-07:00

A Bernhardt Couch in excellent condition from ABC Home and Carpet that retails for $1500ish is being sold for $200 at this very tidy looking Chelsea apartment. I would love it if it were sage but I think it might be more of a boring beige. Cannot beat $200 though... I don't think anything at ABC has that price tag.

Soho Treasures Going out of Business?

2009-03-18T18:39:00.000-07:00

I'm assuming "everything goes!" and "huge sale!" might indicate this store on Mercer in Soho is closing for good... Exact prices (which have supposedly been reduced by 50%) are not listed on any of the store's postings, so I shall have to take a little walk over there this weekend... An Italian Mirrored Dresser and a 50s Brass Framed Mirror are just two of the many great looking items posted for sale. I usually go out of my way to avoid postings under the 'furniture by dealer' category ..but Soho Treasures is my exception to the rule.

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fud/1075030734.html

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fud/1074773628.html

A Setee, anyone??

2009-03-11T18:49:00.000-07:00

A 60s Boudoir Settee! This $100 loveseat is in a cream colored fabric with a classic beige and burgundy fleur de lys design. very cute. Seller is completely upfront and shows a close-up shot of the wear-and-tear on 1 side of it...mentioning it may be a 'reupholster project'. Fun!http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1070956317.html

Cool and Modern

2009-03-10T19:33:00.000-07:00

I'm more of a glass/vintage seeking girl - but this contemporary two-tiered wood coffee table from Jensen Lewis (their website currently features the table for $700!) is very handsome... Seller is asking a modest $50. will go fast I bet. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1065946484.html

west elm or west elm-ish?

2009-03-02T17:52:00.000-08:00

Owner doesn't clarify which items in his "West Elm Furniture" posting are actually West Elm. The handsome modern white couch doesn't exactly look like West Elm (lacks their signature straight lines) but is in great condition and is only $125. Looks like the kind of couch that needs a throw and nice pillows to dress it up but again, its inexpensive and does have my favorite tufted cushions. I could never ever ever keep a white couch white - but I'm sure you can...

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1057425370.html

Antique lamps under $100?

2009-02-24T19:44:00.000-08:00

2 great-looking antique lamps! owner mentions many items are $85 so hopefully these two are as well. Super unique, elegant, old-fashioned lamps for bedroom or living room. they look to be identical, but notice the varying black and gold arms on each. only major problem w/ this posting... buying requires a field trip to long island! I would find a way though if price is right. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1049064550.html

oooh la la

2009-02-23T15:09:00.000-08:00

Not sure what remains for sale, nor what kind of prices this seller has in mind.. but the images in his Furniture Sale ad look like there are some great pieces! i love the white chair and black chandelier especially... Definitely worth a trek to the UES side to find out.. (Select the image in the ad to access the owner's complete photobucket album of the furniture - & ignore that he has all personal photos in this same album!!?!)

Tribeca Loft discount heaven

2009-02-16T10:52:00.000-08:00

Owner makes it easy and is reducing everything in his apt by 50% off. Majority of stuff is West Elm. 2 open houses for this designer furnished loft sale .address provided. how easy. v handsome looking loft too! http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1033589100.html

Best Find from Soho's Boca Grande

2009-02-12T18:54:00.000-08:00

wow wow. great looking coffee table/console for only $150 asking price. Retailed for $1k at Boca Grande on Greene St. black oak wood + varigated glass top = prettiest steal....

Do not think image here does it justice.

Vintage, French, & HUGE

2009-02-11T18:21:00.000-08:00

GIGANTIC Vintage French Posters, framed, over 5 feet tall!!! heavy. $50 each. I love "Le Furet" and actually may contact the owner to check it out. Even for my girly self, the other two may even be a bit too too much. But if I had a huge apt to spread them out enough, I'd take them all. Really love.
http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1024961854.html

Italian ad print for the kitchen

2009-02-10T15:19:00.000-08:00

To brighten up the kitchen!... or lack of a kitchen in my case. Owner claims this Birra Itala Pilsen 1920 print retails for $700... which is questionable since the frame doesn't look all that great. But it's large in size & a big colorful vintage print is a great find...Offer $50 less than her $165 asking price and its yours.

a lovely Antoinette Fainting

2009-02-09T13:45:00.000-08:00

I am a sucker for impractical old lady-ish vintage couches. They even remain handsome with a pile of clothes and shoes and bags sprawled all over them...which is very convenient. Billy's Antiques on Houston near Bowery always has great ones.. (I've even had 2 girlfirends help me haul one home from there).. I think I've paid $300 or $350 for the real vintage ones - so the brand new re-created vintage ones on urbanoutfitters.com for $575 plus shipping is not a good deal. This seller is offering her Antoinette Fainting Sofa from that store for $450 and will deliver. Better - but I'm sure you could get down to $350. Color differs. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1021266580.html

If I cooked...

2009-02-04T17:16:00.000-08:00

...and cared about a having a dining table plus chairs - i would love these! best part is current owner hasn't named a price- and is "taking best offer". Also offers to drop them off! I wish they were the brown rather than the white - but I still love the design of these West Elm dining chairs & great seat cushions would dress them up. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1013690234.html

Perfect $20

2009-02-03T19:23:00.000-08:00

This is exactly how craigslist should work. This forever classic, traditional, standing lamp from Crate and Barrel is probably a few years old but probably hasn't visibly aged. Since its not brand new, it shouldnt be listed for the $100-someting C&B price tag....and its not! Owner is asking a perfect $20.

An Anthropologie Steal

Anthropolgie has the best stuff. A post for a 'Sage Green Button Back Chair' from this store does not include a picture... but does mention the orginal $1600 price tag. He's asking $350... and I'm sure would sell for 200 or 250. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1011682158.html

Mirrors galore

2009-02-02T19:17:00.000-08:00

I love this huge art deco mirror and would definetly call to offer her half the $400 if I didnt already have mirrors galore in my apt. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/1009934866.html
