Oh, How I Love Craigslist ~

I picked up this buffet on Craigslist this weekend. 

It is going to go in my "new" craft room. I can see baskets on the sides holding all of my paints, jewels, tags...

I am not sure what type of wood it is, but it is heavy and has Drexel on the inside of the top drawer. 
I am thinking black...oh, and the asking price - $20 bucks! I am hoping the weather stays warm enough for me to prime this baby soon!

    Fantastic find! Great idea for baskets in your craft room. I think black will be fab and for $20.00 you couldn't find a better deal!

    WOW! What an awesome find! I usually don't like the hardware on the old cabinets, but I love the pulls! Black would be a great color!

    Craigs List is the best! I have 1/2 my house furnished from CL. Also a wonderful way to clean house by finding new homes for junk you would otherwise throw away.
