major cool chandelier- $150 could rock in your eclectic mid century mixed with antiques decor. in fact its very elle decor isn't it? and it's hugeballs. big impact for very little money.

pair of bamboo chairs-$200. paint these bitches shiny black and add some new fabric on those cushions. dumb.


crate and barrel azure sofa- $800 craigslist pricey but less than half of what was paid. and you could always offer less.



mid century loveseat- ?? they are selling a sofa and loveseat for $350 so you could offer a lot less i'm sure. it has great lines and looks in good structural condition. the retro fabric isn't too bad. but i would def change it.


3 white nesting tables- make an offer. fuck dude, offer them 20 bucks! they're great and maybe you could funk them up with some faux snakeskin or croc paper.

hollywood regency buffet/sideboard- $150. also a great bar option. or in a hall for linens or in the living room under a small flatscreen or bedroom..paint it and put some different hardware on it.



great chair- $75. a steal. needs a tiny bit of easy lovin.
