I still can't believe that I have the piece. I look at it every so often and fall in love all over again! I keep hearing Craigslist horror stories and feel so fortunate that my story ended well.

Thanks Trisha! Secret: this picture is actually from our old apartment, but the furniture placement and rug are the same, so I just cropped out the walls, lol!

Yep, patience is the name of the game! It's like one of those pick-2-out-of-3 lists: 1) perfect piece, 2) awesome price, 3) right now. 🙂

Your sofa sound like an awesome find! I love the tip about CL match emails – I'll have to check that out!

Sometimes I am not patient however (musthaveallthethingsRIGHTNOW) but when I am, I've been rewarded!

I am also a CL addict and just be patient. My Lee Industries English Roll Arm sofa for $400 is a perfect example. I can't remember what it was listed as exactly but none of those words were in the description. 🙂 There is a specific wall unit/cabinet that I've been hoping and waiting to see show up on CL soon. Also, I use IFTTT.com recipes to email me CL matches.
