In the spirit of craigslist fridays... I must add on to an incredible resource for amazing vintage furniture... TINI (This is Not Ikea) is one of the most fabulous sites for amazing vintage furniture and it is also affordable.
Reclaimed pieces have great history and also allow you to use your creative freedom to jazz them up.. Take a look at the chairs below.. Add some hot pink (low voc) paint to the metal and watch them transform to retro chic.

While at Furnicology we love sustainable furniture, we also think reusing existing furniture stock is a great idea! A lot of what is out there is so well made and many pieces have been well cared for, why not incorporate them into your home? Of course take Craigslist with a grain of salt and don't expect to get much out of already worn out IKEA furniture. We are going to try out a thing called Friday Finds where we showcase an interesting find from salvage, ebay, Craigslist, etc..
Today I'm showing you an oak coffee table from the Bay Area that is in "excellent condition." Measurements are: 37x26x16 and for $65, you can't beat it! You can find the link here.
