Tuesday's Picks

Since moving back to Seattle, I have been helping my contractor dad tidy up his workshop. I put a free table out front and we have been adding items to it pretty regularly.  It has been really fun to watch people stop to check out the items.  Things move a lot faster than I would have guessed.  Who knew there was a demand for used roof waterproofing and driveway patch....I should have known, we are in Seattle after all.


There are a lot of great local finds on the Seattle CL today.  Here are my favs:

Free!

I really like these canisters.  For $15 I think they are a pretty good deal. (Better pictures can be viewed by clicking on the photo below)

Owls are hot right now. We can all agree on that, right?  Save yourself some dough by buying your owl salt and pepper shakers locally. Here is a set listed for sale online.  And here is a similar set available locally and for less:

I loved playing Candy Land when I was younger!  Here is a vintage edition available in Ballard for $5:

This looks like a nice IKEA chair to me and it costs about as much as just the gas would be just to drive to IKEA:

This is hands-down my favorite pick of the day..maybe even the month...maybe even longer. If I had a place to put this I would have bought it already.  It's beautiful and only $10.  If you buy it, please send me a photo so I can be insanely jealous.

LOTS of Wednesday Picks

In an effort to make up for my lack of posts recently I have compiled my favorite Seattle-area CL picks over the last few days and am sharing them ALL with you! As usual, all are $20 or less (some are FREE!).  Click on the photo to be taken to the original CL ad.

I love the colors on these portable file boxes.

I think this chair has such a classic worn look.

I think everyone should have a clothes drying rack and this one if only $3.

I think this is a great looking end table for a good price.

[FREE] Tuesday's Picks

Here are the latest FREE ads posted on the Seattle area CL worth mentioning:


This person is giving away two awesome mid-century lawn chair frames. They even have the webbing to complete them!

Finish the Project? Vintage Patio Chairs
South Seattle
FREE


I started this project but obviously will never finish it.


These patio chairs are a mid century design that have some value as collectibles. As you can see from the photo one of them has had the webbing removed and been painted and the other is in it's original condition. I even have the new webbing you can install.


If you would like to take over the project and can pick them up in South Seattle then you are welcome to them.


I love light up signs and this one is FREE!

Lightup Art Piece
Downtown Seattle
FREE


I have a large art piece that I am going to have to throw out if I cant find a home for in the next few days.

The piece is from a SIFF Fly Film that I worked on a bit over a year ago, and it has been sitting in storage since I have no where to hang it anymore.
It is a 14ft x 4ft circus style light up marquee with two side flats that are 4ft x 8ft. The theme of the piece is "Fame and Fortune" and it features some really great 2D characteratures on it.
I need to get rid of this piece in THIS WEEK. 


As I have said before, I see a lot of leather couches on CL.  This one looks to be in better condition than most and is FREE.

Italian Leather Couch
Capitol Hill
FREE


Natuzzi italian leather couch. Super comfortable and generous size make this an excellent nap couch. This is a very soft and open leather, which makes it feel fantastic. Downside is that the leather wears and stains. It's a little more than ten years old, so somewhat worn, but it's quality material. 




If you have played indoor soccer at Magnuson Park in the last few years, you have probably noticed this HUGE salmon sculpture.  It can now be yours for FREE!!

Free Yard Art - Salmon Sculpture
Magnuson Park
FREE


Need a reason to impress the neighbors? Maybe you need a whopper of a sculpture!

Magnuson Park is ready to release a prized green-gilled land salmon to one lucky person. It is currently resting in front of the firehouse on NE 74th Street. Basically a metal framework in detachable sections, covered by painted corregated plastic sheets, it has small inflatable tires and a tow hitch. Moveable but like most salmon - NOT STREET LEGAL. It also needs a little TLC before moving to its new habitat. Dimensions: 7 x 10 x 33FT.

[FREE] Wednesday's Picks

Looking at the Seattle area FREE listings on Craigslist makes me happy that I will be moving back to Seattle next month.  I hardly ever have to look further that the free listings to find interesting items to share.


These are a few of the items listed today:


(Click on the photo to be taken to the original ad)


I really enjoy mid-century furniture and am always happy when mid-century items are listed.  It's great to find these classic mid-century pieces for free:

Maybe it's just me but I think these waiting room chairs would look good in a living room:

When I saw this chaise listed for free, I knew that if we were in Seattle my boyfriend would want to get it.  Unfortunately, we aren't in Seattle but that just means you could get this fun piece for FREE!

I just love this couch and I think it's a great FREE find.  There are a lot of leather couches listed for free on CL but I like the looks of this one and it appears to be in better condition than most. 

Happy Hunting!

And last but not least, this unique salon chair:

Free Vintage Lime-Colored Salon Chair

Freelard/Ballard

My lovely bright green salon chair has been one of my favorite items in our casa. But, the time has come for me to part with it due to an upcoming move. Leather is in good shape. Top section of the drier is slightly cracked, but not noticeable. Drier does not work. Cigarette ash tray on one arm is an interesting detail. 

Seems like it was free green chair day today.

Happy Hunting,
