Each of our apartments have had a sort of theme to them. Our first we created as much as we could out of cardboard. Our second place seemed to be furnished almost entirely from Ikea. This go-round the theme is Craigslist! After our move and road trip we didn’t have any furniture so we started hitting up the free/curb-alert and garage sale sections. I think we’ve spent around $60 furnishing our entire apartment!

The above picture is probably our second favorite find: our giant orange velvet sectional. We were grabbing some coffee, glanced over CL and saw this; the owners had moved and it was sitting out front their home. We dashed to the car and quickly picked it up. It was the biggest pain to move and it needs some repair work, but it has so much personality!

The wall collection with the our new moose head!

This mini bar was a great cheap find! The pictures are a little dark, but we’re using the wine glass area as a bookcase, the wine rack as kitchen utensil storage and the bottom cabinets for misc.

And, last but not least, what we lovingly refer to as “Lee Alton’s Thinking Chair.” (Slightly better pictures here and here.) This is absolutely our favorite find and we got it completely free! An architect (who we named the chair after) up in Carslbad was cleaning out his basement and was just giving tons of great stuff away. We later found out it was an vintage Plycraft! Plycraft was a furniture company, that during the 1960s began creating chairs heavily inspired by Eames’s designs, but have become popular, in their own right, today.

So that’s the living area (or most the pieces in it)! Our place isn’t big, but I’ve got a few more things to show you!
