Is there anyone addicted to “Craiglist”out there? I must admit I’m getting there. I love searching for interesting pieces, for some beautiful vintage furniture and if you’re lucky, you can even find some incredible antiques. But, for every “treasure” you find, you’ll certainly find tons of “trash” that people can’t wait to get rid of. You’ll see more old, dirty couches than anywhere else and yes, even old mattresses (yuck, right?). But Craiglist isn’t for everyone, after all, you only should go to these kind of sites if you’re a little adventurous, a little creative and sometimes, a little broke. In my case, I got inspired to search for furniture on Craiglist after seeing so many interior designers showcasing their great finds and, many times, transforming old things into stylish and current items.
The truth is that we all like bargains and if you have good imagination, you really can end up finding great things, the secret is to keep looking until you find what you really want and be aware, don’t be impulsive! There are people adding new items all the time, so make sure to take your time.
Now, take a look what I found the other day! The owner described it as a “stunning, unique custom, solid wood small cabinet”. He even added that this piece “would look great with any decor”.
Unique? Well, tell me about it! Stunning? Well, we can have a big and long argument about that! 🙂
But, what do you say, is this “bitten furniture Cool or Fool*?
Coookiiieeeee
The Cookie Monster’s cabinet. Opsss… he did it again!
I was really laughing when I saw this and I hope you also have fun with it! 🙂
I really should’ve bookmarked the link, but I just saved the picture. I promise to link to its image the next time!
Talking about laughing, when was it the last time you laughed so much that you barely could breathe? Do you know that sensation? Well, I’m lucky that I married someone that’s always making me laugh. My husband has a great sense of humor and I love that about him. We could laugh about almost anything, he can make me laugh even in moments you think you couldn’t. Somehow, he knows how to see the brighter side of life, or should I say the funnier side of life?
Try to laugh more during this weekend. Watch a great comedy, talk to someone that knows how to make you laugh, be aware of funny moments around you. Yes, laugh more!
Feel lighter with the power of laughter.
Have a very Blessed weekend!

* “Cool or Fool” happens every Friday. I’ve started this section where I post “different” and controversial things that I know some of you will love and others will not. The point is to tell us what you really think, regardless of anything. It’s a space where you speak your mind and analyze what you see. Have fun with it and laugh along the way!
“Dear God,
If I am wrong, right me. If I am lost, guide me. If I start to give-up, keep me going.
Lead me in Light and Love”.
Have a wonderful day, my friends and we’ll talk again tomorrow.”
with Love,

That is a total riot-what a great conversation piece. Can’t take life too seriously afterall- definately Cool for me!
Funny but silly….so a fool for me, Just don’t get why anyone would want it! Agree about laughing…SO important! Have a good weekend Luciane:)
I agree this is a great conversation piece but what do you do with it the rest of the time. It wouldn’t last on my funny bone. I agree with laughter and the first laughs on me.
Too silly for me as well…..I’m afraid of craigslist because here in San Diego it’s gotten the rep of being “crookslist”. do you go look at furniture for sale on craigslist to some strangers home by yourself?
Hi Shell!
Great point! Safety first! I would only go if my husband were with me. 🙂
Enjoy your weekend!

I love it!!! I would by that “bite me” shelf in a second! How much was it going for??
That is a crazy fool! I have never seen anything like it and probably never need to again.:)
Last time I laughed hard was today – the kids and I watched a Duck Dynasty marathon on A&E. I had never seen this show … I was laughing so hard at the Uncle Si.
Have a wonderful long weekend Luciane! xoxo
This must have been a good cabinet that suffered some damage and was subsequently redesigned. You just have to give credit to the crafts(wo)man who saw a solution to a a perplexing problem. It’d be cool, I think, repainted in suitably playful colors and used as a night stand in a child’s bedroom – maybe not my child’s though…
This is a little strange! I have bought some great pieces on craigslist for my shop and our home.
I think I’d buy it if I knew it would annoy some people who came to my house. I’d get it so I’d have someone say: “What a foolish piece!” 😉
I DO like the orange walls in that person’s house though. LOL! Have a great weekend with the hubby and the kids!
Best,
Gloria
Luciane,
Nope, don’t think it qualifies as anywhere near “stunning”. Oh well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 🙂

I think it’s pretty weird and don’t particularly like it BUT to each their own! :O)
