Stuff We Can't Get...But You Should! 7.2.12

Sometimes, we come across things on Craigslist that we'd LOVE to grab and sell ourselves, but we're held back by a teensy little detail -- neither Trevor nor I have a car big enough to transport it. Rather than annoy our friends to no end by borrowing their pickups every weekend, we thought we might as well share these gems on our blog in the hope that our loss can be your gain!

Here's a sampling of stuff spotted today that we can't go get, but you can (and should!):

Beautiful wooden chest - 9 drawers - $95 (Scottsdale)

Black Metal Desk - $175 (Tempe)

And just for fun, since Trevor's a U of A alum (but I'll never let him have this):

Beautiful 6pc Youth LOFT BED - $295 (East Valley)

Now go out and grab them before they're gone!

Mid-Century Modern Lane Coffee Table and End Table - Sold

Update: These have sold! Shout out to Jacob, we hope they look great in your new home.

New merch alert! It's been awhile since we've found any thrifty gems, but we're both very excited about these: a mid-Century modern coffee table and matching end table made by Lane. Both have gorgeous Danish-style legs and the diamond pattern on the surface, and both have drawers with the Lane stamp inside. We picked them up today and after a little Pledge lovin', the wood positively gleamed in our sunny apartment.

My personal favorite thing about these pieces are the drawer pulls, especially the one on the end table -- it reminds me of an infinity symbol. Which is fitting, because that's how long this furniture will look stylish in someone's living room -- for eternity!

If you're a Lane-lover or are looking to retro-modernize your home, shoot us an email at thriftybusinessphx@gmail.com. We're asking $150 for the set, but would be open to selling them separately too!
