    $10? Knock a wall down and make room for it. :)

    Those are gorgeous Teeda! I can't believe the price. I love the look of a room with twin beds, but I don't know many adults who like to sleep in them.

    These are the ones that got away. These barstools were like new and the seller paid over $2,400 for four. She was selling them ALL for $200! I almost cried when I learned they were a little too large for our island.



    Then I found these. Kreiss, high end brand and just like new. Seller wanted $95 each and had 5. She sold them before we could get to her. Darn it!

    DD took her nightstands with her when she moved, so I grabbed one from our beach cottage and found this, same color, different shape, on FBM for $20. I’ll paint the drawer front a different color.

    Ida, your marketplace scores are really what inspired me to start watching postings again!

    I think you and Sueb are the reigning Marketplace queens these days!

    And for my late-summer project…picking this up today. Free. I think I’m going to paint it a fun color and recover the seat in some kind of funky floral.

    Update, no painting. I like the vintagey pine wood.

    I love these chairs, (described as antique french barrel chairs,) but my dh would kill me if I brought them home, and then I would want to reupholster them. Plus, they are asking $400 for the pair which is fairly expensive for FBM.

    Those chairs would be gorgeous reupholstered. Bet they end up dropping the price.

    ^^ so did tou buy them?😉😂😂😂

  • 3 years ago

    Jojo, cute chairs!


    I have the scavenging bug after helping DD find so much for her apt…I can’t stop! Picking this up today, another freebie. I was thinking of using it as an end table on my screen porch but on closer look it’s not something you could put a drink on. We’ll see.

    I always look on FBMP and have found some great buys over the years. Either one or two armoires (I can't remember where one of them came from LOL), a beautiful chest of drawers, a cane seat wood armchair along with an upholstered and wood chair that we had reupholstered (these two chairs for $35 for the both). We are to the point we cannot use any more furniture though, so my buys are very few now days. Most recently I bought a beautiful bentwood wall rack.


    This is the chair we had reupholstered. I loved the carving on the legs and arms. This is before I steamed the fabric.


    I also bought these chairs with caned seats:


    and here is the bentwood rack:

    Sue, I love that little table. Tina Marie, what great finds. Love the new upholstery on the chair!

  • 3 years ago

    For the record, I did not buy this! But is is still abailable in Southern California.



  • 3 years ago

    Lol!!

    Our FBM is pathetic compared to what I see here. Tho I am finished in accumulating, it's still fun to look.

    @Sueb20 I wonder if you could have glass cut for that tabletop and just attach with clear silicone caulk on the flat ends? It's so cute!

    Nice looking rug for $75!



  • 3 years ago

    These chairs are free. I love them. I would grab them for the lake, but unfortunately that's where we are and its a 4+ hr. drive home.



  • 3 years ago

    @teeda Can you believe I posted a picture of the chair with the OLD upholstery???!!! When I went back and looked at this thread on my computer (vs my phone), I saw the water stain on the seat! Here's a post with the new fabric. I found a GREAT upholsterer. I normally will not buy used upholstered items, but he added all new foam, etc. so it's nice and clean and pretty again. : )


    I wish the piping (cording?) at the top of the chair showed up better. He does a great job.

    That is beautiful Tina Marie--I love that fabric! I also like the original chair, and didn't notice the water stain. Great find, and great job!

  • 3 years ago

    Wow! I think I don't check it out enough, because I rarely see anything of interest but I know it's definitely there.

    Very inspring seeing what you have spotted.

    (back to the rabbit hole of fbm)
