FB Marketplace Temptations

2 years ago

I always see something on my local FB Marketplace and think, “wow, I would love to take that piece of furniture and do (fill the blank) to it.“

This is one of those pieces.

I have a thing for birds and I would totally highlight the carved birds in this armoire. At minimum I would change the fabric behind the doors to a pearlescent blue so it looks like the sky. And of course, paint the whole armoire imperfectly. Yes, it is dated. I don't care. Feels more classic to me.

It would be perfect for my cottage that is a mix of woods and water. But really, I don’t need it, don’t have room for it, and have reluctantly stopped entertaining the idea of renting a truck and bringing it to Connecticut from rural Pennsylvania.

Did I mention they’re only asking $50?

Sigh. Letting it go.

Have you seen anything on your Facebook market that sings to you?

I check FBMP every day! We have found some good items on there. Here's a few from today's listings.

We have a vintage buffet that I had painted black in our office. I am thinking of a brass lamp to use on it.

I think this might work in a guest room. It's $10!!! Only drawback is it's a bit of a drive. Can't tell for sure about the color.

I love transferware and collect the brown and also have some aqua green pieces. Love the blue but I really have tooooo many dishes! This is a.

I love these and have a few. This is $60.

There are usually several of these daily on our MP. I love them and we thought of using one, but haven't seen one that would match up well with our opening. Plus, I have a gorgeous antique mirror about our mantel that I really don't have anywhere else to use and I'm not parting with it!

I believe this is $200 from the early 1900s.

I always have a "saved" list going on MP!

I'm back on FBM after a hiatus because my DS is moving into his first apartment post-college graduation. He'll be in a really fun, vibrant area of the city, and he's asked me to help decorate.

People, my time has come! FBM, I'm back!

Maybe not so tempting. There’s also a cemetery plot for sale, includes opening and closing, concrete box, stone, but no coffin. Some of my family is in that cemetery, maybe I should look into it.

Ha! Bpath, make sure the story of how you obtained the plot is shared at your funeral!

Below is a random assortment of stuff on my local FBMP, which basically is the entire rural area of Georgia. Most of what pops up are RVs or tires. I was not looking for the weird or unusual or tacky….this was all in the first two scrolls. Behold:

FRAMED DISNEY PAINTINGS!

A SET OF FAUX MEDIEVAL POTS AND PANS AND FAUX WOOD “PLATES” !

A RING WITH A TINY FAKE DIAMOND….DISPLAYED ON A FINGERNAIL WITH MANY FAKE DIAMONDS

and finally, RETRACTABLE ELECTRIC WINGS!

You really can’t make this stuff up. I am green with envy at your marketplaces!

Too many times to count, jojoco. I've seen so many pieces on MP and our Buy Nothing group that I envision re-doing, but alas, I don't have the room. We can dream, though, can't we?
