Craigslist Series Part 6


















Next in line is where we place our rumps! I got these four stools and four chairs off of craigslist too! I bought this table and 1 bench back in AL for $15! So I bought chairs when we arrived in CO. Our new house is blessed with a bar area, so these stools work perfect for extra rump room.

Craigslist Series Part 5
















This is my absolute favorite find!! I have been wanted a coffee table like this forever! And it looks great in my living room. It is now where all my blankets are stored. Did I mention that I absolutely love this table? I paid more for it than I normally would give for "things" but I know I got a fair price for it and it was something I have always been looking for.

Craigslist Series Part 4


















We interrupt this programming . . .

Now I'm gonna share with you about what I have gotten for FREE off of craigslist. I love free - especially when it is useful.

The picture included is the free desk we got for the kids computer. It is a nice desk. And the broken drawer happened on the way home, so we need to glue it back together. But not bad - for free!

And yesterday I picked up leftover landscaping bricks that worked perfect to frame in the rabbit poop under the rabbit cages. We can use that for fertilizer and worm beds!

I also picked up some scrap wood - just perfect for building rabbit nesting boxes.

Coordinate your free pick-ups with other errands and the gas doesn't cost so much!

Craigslist Series Part 3















Moving on. My hubby found his new truck on craigslist. Its a 4x4 Dodge Dakota. He loves it and its great for driving out to the chicken coop when I don't want to walk in the snow! Isn't it cute! (So is the hunk sitting on the tailgate!)

Craigslist Series Part 2




Guess what? We also bought animals on Craigslist! So far we have only bought our 11 lovely chickens off of Craigslist, but we have shopped for goats and rabbits too.

Craigslist Series


This is the first post of many on how I furnished my home with Craigslist. We love craigslist and the freedom we have found in it.

So today's post is going to start with the reason I need to buy things on craigslist. The house! Yes, we found our house on craigslist!

There a bunch more pics on my facebook. Follow me there. We bought our 4 bedroom/2 bath home and 40 acres after reading the craigslist ad. And to fill up that house we have found many more wonderful finds. So as the days follow I will be posting all the things we have found ranging from free to thousands of dollars, but of course everything was a good deal!
