We live on the 3rd floor of an apartment building with no elevator and so I told DH we could just put the dresser in storage until we need it, but he wants to push it up the 2 flights of stairs to keep it at home with us. Thank God it's not rainy season yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-of-my-furniture-find#post-280822 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 18:51:23 +0000 Periwinkle 280822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ladyfingers- I know, right?! It's highway robbery. But their pieces are so pretty and I know, from some other PB furniture I have, that they are generally well built, so I guess some people can justify that. Just not me!!!!</p> <p>@ambular1025- I am a big fan of finding high quality furniture on CL. I would rather have something well built that might need some love than something less solid. Although, after picking a very heavy peace for our kitchen yesterday, my husband told me that I'm not allowed to bring anything else home. It's just all too heavy to transport. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-of-my-furniture-find#post-280737 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 17:06:54 +0000 marionberry 280737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meggo5: That's such a great idea. I hadn't really thought about Craigslist for furniture for some reason. While we're not pregnant yet we did just buy a great antique dresser for our baby's room (whenever he or she comes) for just $235. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-of-my-furniture-find#post-280718 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 16:34:59 +0000 ladyfingers 280718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cute! On a different note, I cannot believe they would charge $700 for it retail. Insane! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-of-my-furniture-find#post-280220 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 01:55:38 +0000 SweetMamaM 280220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is stunning - what a lucky find! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-of-my-furniture-find#post-280140 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 22:26:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 280140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yay that's awesome!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-of-my-furniture-find#post-280088 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 21:26:54 +0000 Mrs squirreld 280088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yaaaay I love finding great preloved bargains!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-of-my-furniture-find#post-280080 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 21:23:46 +0000 Periwinkle 280080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just have to share my excitement in my latest furniture find. We settled on a crib recently (PB Kids Kendall Low Profile in white) and were having a really tough time deciding what other kind of furniture we wanted in our nursery. I would have loved the matching extra-wide dresser but I could not imagine spending the $$$ on one. We started looking for lesser priced dressers, but each turned out to be either too high to use as a changer too or not the right color, so I was getting very frustrated.</p> <p>After many weeks of Craigslist searching, I came across a PB Kids changer/dresser in a very, very close color and we brought it home this past week! It needed a good wipe-down and may need a few minor paint touch-ups (got the Benjamin Moore color code!), but I am so excited for our bargain! We paid $200 vs. the almost $700 that it's selling for in the store. I am soooo thankful for my amazing husband for driving a ways to pick it up, loading it into the car, and bringing it home for me! We have yet to bring it upstairs (we need some more muscle and I am relatively useless at 30 weeks pregnant), but I am just so happy with my bargain of the week. </p> [attach=2120/12/m9r5bn.240x320.Dresser-Changer.jpg]
