I'm excited. . .my garage sale find!

16 years ago

I haven't posted much on these forums, but I've certainly gleaned a lot of information. We needed some furniture for the house we bought in TN, and I ran across this bed at a garage sale on Sat. for the grand sum of $100.00! It is SO heavy and massive, but we have the perfect spot for it. Now if we could only sell this FL house. . .

    Gorgeous bed! You are very lucky not only to find that but to have the perfect spot for it!

  • 16 years ago

    Gorgeous.

  • 16 years ago

    Good grief, that's fabulous. I feel a bit sorry for the folks who had to sell that for $100...

  • 16 years ago

    Oh I love it! What a steal! You will have to post pics when you set it up.

  • 16 years ago

    Actually, flyleft, it was stored in his garage. They were in a small tract house and my guess is that they may have bought the bed before the house and it probably didn't fit.

    Ah, ilovetn...well, there's a story there at any rate...such a great deal. It's the kind of bed you can pass down as an heirloom. Enjoy it!

  • 16 years ago

    wow--that takes the cake as the deal of the year!

  • 16 years ago

    That came from a garage sale? No way! I want to go with you next weekend. :o) That bed is fabulous!!!

  • 16 years ago

    OMG, OMG that's awesome! :) Great find! I can't believe it was so cheap. Did you run over and hug it yelling, "MINE!! ALL MINE!" haha
    I can't wait to get a new bedroom (nice/matching/at least coordinating) suit. I'll have to wait until fall.

  • 16 years ago

    $100???? WOW! What an amazing deal! It's gorgeous!

  • 16 years ago

    I'm in Tennessee and I NEVER see stuff link that in my area. You must not be in the same area. I need to expand my horizons. Awesome find!

  • 16 years ago

    OMG, ilovetn, I bought a similar bed frame off of Craigslist! I've been enjoying it thoroughly for almost a year and am soooo glad I made hubby dust off his truck and go get it for me. Congrats on yours, hope you'll be enjoying it soon.

    We aren't IN Tennessee. We want to be, but right now we are in Florida. I know our craigslist has pages and pages every day. Where we are moving in TN, you are lucky to see 3 or 4 ads in a week!

  • 16 years ago

    WTH????? That is insane! COMPLETELY BEAUTIFUL!

  • 16 years ago

    Wow, that's a beauty! Congrats! And the price is to faint over.

    Now, please be sure to send us a pic of it when you have it in your bedroom all dolled up.

    the bed is totally beautiful..it reminds me of mine, but mine is oak and is carved with oakleaves..
    i totally love mine even though you tend to never move it once it is in place..too heavy ! enjoy

  • 16 years ago

    Weeee hoooo, it looks like something from Charles Faudree's books, it is absolutely gorgeous. Cannot believe the price. Congratulations on such a wonderful find.

  • 16 years ago

    Wow--are you sure you didn't misplace a decimal point? :-)

  • 16 years ago

    No doubt about it, that was an excellent bargain!

  • 16 years ago

    I am SOOO jealous!! Do you know the manufacturer of the bed? I would LOVE to buy one like it! What part of TN are you moving to? I live in east TN - not much on CL here!

  • 16 years ago

    We bought a home in south Greene county near the mountains. Beautiful scenery. I looked all over the back of the pieces of the bed and there is no manufacturer's label. Sorry

  • 16 years ago

    Did you fall all over yourself giving them the money? It's lovely.

    OMG!!! I LIVE in Greeneville!! I get my hair cut in the St. James area of South Greene. You're right, the mountains are beautiful out there! Are you familiar with Greeneville?

  • 16 years ago

    nkkp

    Yes, I'm somewhat familiar. I know the major highways and how to get to the Walmart, :) Our address is Greeneville. The house we bought is off the Asheville Hwy. If we ever get to move there, we'll have to get together.

  • 16 years ago

    Well, since you've already found Wal-mart it looks like you've seen it all -lol! Let's do get together! I live in the historic district downtown so you aren't too far away. Thanks for looking for the label by the way. You don't happen to live in the Tallahassee area do you? My nieghbors are moving to FL when their house here sells and I believe they are looking in that general area for a home.

    First of all, Ilovtn, the bed is stunning! All I ever find at garage sales is junk . . . you did great!

    And as a new TN resident myself, I had to look up Greene County, but y'all are way across the state from me . . . I'm south of Nashville, building in Williamson County.

    Hope your FLA house sells quickly and you can get moved with your beautiful new bed!!

  • 16 years ago

    My sister bought the same bed new for $1700. What a deal you got.

    Hope you enjoy Tennessee it's gorgeous with all the mountains.

    I am going to Cleveland, Tennessee for Easter. It's near Chattagooga, lovely state.

  • 16 years ago

    OMG! That is one stunning bed and I cannot believe what an amazing deal you got for it. And it looks in perfect condition too! Lucky you. Can't wait to see it when it is all dressed up with bedding.
