Thank god for craigslist!

A and I have been hitting estate sales, garage sales, and furniture dealer clearance sales, in an attempt to find a dresser for me and a credenza for the TV. These would be my 3rd and 4th piece of furniture, considering that right now I have one Ikea chair and a bed.

We hit the motherlode today near Capitol Hill(?) when we found a mid-century modern dealer who was clearing out excess stock. We bought a pair of MCM/Hollywood regency dressers and a cute vintage 50s dinette set. Yes, those of you who have seen our dining room realize that we now have two cute, vintage 50s dinette sets. :) Well, the new one is cuter, so off to losangeles.craigslist.org our old one goes.

I'll update this with pictures later, once morganlf gets them off her camera.
UPDATE: Pictures are up over at morganlf's journal.

So much fun. Learning Seattle neighborhoods via furniture stores has been interesting...

The pattern on those chairs is pretty awesome. We've had fantasies of someday getting a diner-style bench for our breakfast area.
