Curb-Side Shopping

So I didn't have time to go 'hunting' this week so I thought I would share some of the items that I picked up within the last couple of weeks. I found both of these rugs rolled up on the curb in our neighborhood. They are dry, not stained, no rips or holes, no fraying and now they look great in my living room. I also found two white cribs, the hardware is missing but after an e-mail to the manufacturer, hopefully that stuff is on its way, otherwise it is back to the hardware store for me. Nothing wrong with either one of them! And now they look great in my living room! I have only been curb shopping for a few months now but I have found some great stuff. Here are some pictures of the other things I have found.



There are two of these cribs but this one only needed the screws. The other one can go together but the side won't slide down because I can't replace those.One of these tables was missing a bolt. Need paint but would make great kids craft tables since the top is like a dry erase board. This coffee table needed the leg reattached. One of the drawers is missing a handle so I am just going to replace both. Could stand to be refinished but I don't have that time. I also have another coffee table in my garage that once this stuff is gone I will be working on and an end table that is almost the same style as this one so I might sell them together.

I usually find things that need to be repaired in some way and if that is the case then I sell it to at least get out what I put into fixing that item. Keeping things out of the landfills and hopefully helping someone at the same time!
