Singing the Praises of Craigslist:)

Most people who know me know how much I love Craigslist. I have found so many good deals on there it's ridiculous. We bought Hunter's crib and changetable, our computer armoire, our kitchen island, our dresser and our couch from there. We have sold and traded many things too.

This week I made the best trade ever! Last year we originally bought a really nice couch from Craigslist for $400. It was from Upolstery Arts and was worth well over $3000 new. Recently, Dusten and I had been discussing how we needed more seating for when people came over, and also a pullout bed now that our previous spare room is Hunter's:)

On a whim, I posted our couch looking to trade for a sectional. I got a response that someone had a new sectional they needed to trade, as they had just downsized from a house to a condo. We went to see it, and it was beautiful...just what we wanted! Bonus....it has a sofa bed in it for when people come to stay....(HINT HINT DANEA!!!!)

So, with the loan of my MIL's truck, and our friend Lee's muscle and brawn, Dusten went to pick it up last night. Here are some pictures...and yes...the chaise is MINE:)
