My husband searches Craigslist like I search the aisles of the craft store. Far. Too. Often. But sometimes it really pays off like when he scored this solid wood table, bench and chairs for just $50! We thought for sure it was a typo and they meant $500.
It took a few days to paint, a few weeks for the wax to cure and a lot of elbow grease to finish but we're so happy with how it turned out! Since we were able to sell our old table for over $300, we actually made money on this. It was about $150 in paint, wax and supplies plus the $50 for the table so we pocketed over $100!
All the other pieces in the room are Craigslist find makeovers too!
The wooden trough box my husband built from old wood so I could add a touch of Fall to the room.
