If you've been reading my
Adventures in Craigslisting posts, you'll remember that the beautiful, German coffee table that
Chris Howard had stripped for me was stolen from his front yard!
Chris and I spent the next few days exchanging emails. We were trying to determine what piece of furniture I might need for the house.
If you've been reading my other
Adventures in Craigslisting posts, you'll know that I had arranged to buy a beautiful gem-in-the-rough table from
Chris Howard. Chris, who specializes in furniture restoration, agreed to strip the table. I would then refinish it.
If you've read my first
Adventures in Craigslisting post, you'll know that I found a beautiful and cheap German antique coffee table on Craigslist. The table was owned by
Chris Howard, who specialized in restoring antique and modern furniture. Chris agreed to strip the table for me after he found out that I wanted to refinish it.
One of the great things about buying or selling items on
Craigslist is that sometimes your run into some remarkable furniture and some remarkable people. (You also sometimes run into oddballs, but I welcome the occasional oddball as well.)
Take my latest Craigslist find, for example. I found an antique German coffee table advertised on Craigslist for the low, low price of $40.
