Detroit C-list

Time for more Craigslist fun in the D!

$90 will get you this uniquely cool cart. Cart bars are all the rage these days and if you like to upcycle this one is for you! Or it could be a plant stand, console table, or cat bed. You decide.

Also trending in the design world are dead animal parts. One antler could be great on a coffee table or collect a lot of them and you could make a chandelier.  The traditional wall mount is acceptable as well. They want $185 for these bad boys.

I love the look of antique fans. This one  is fiddy.

Letters, of course, are neat-o keen. $15 each is a great deal for these.

Then for the prop junkies there is this really great old tricycle for $250. Not cheap but this could easily sell for more.

Don't live in the D? I can scour your local Craigslist for you just tell me where :)

Detroit Craigslist [interior Design]

Well bar carts are all the rage these days. So when I came across this bar cart on Craigslist I thought it was a great project for someone else (I have way too many!) and the price is reasonable.

Bar Renovation "Progress" [interior Design]

I'm going to keep it real. There is nothing exciting about this post. It is a depressing "update" on the bar renovation that has been in the works for years now. Since it's taken so long to rework 6 linear feet of space, you can imagine the "progress" you are about to see.

The big news is that the two cabinets are here. Have they been installed since we got them weeks ago? No. The one has had the side cut by my dad to fit around the pipes but that is it. We also got a pretty awesome gift from my sister for Christmas - a beverage fridge. That arrived last week and is sitting in the area waiting for it's final resting spot.

As this photo indicates this area is a hot mess waiting to be addressed:

 

Excuse the phone photo but does this really look like it deserves a good shot?

 

We are currently shopping for sinks and we are eyeing something like this:

The "add to cart" price is $212.47 and it's 20" wide. Maybe I can find a little wider to fit the 24" sink base cabinet but that's a good price. In retrospect I should've gone bananas and planned for a 42" trough like this :

 

 

 

I'm grunting like Tim Allen just looking at it...and now I'm wiggling my fingers in thought like the Grinch.

 

 

That's all folks! Stay tuned for more thrilling updates.
