Maybe I'm reading the post wrong, but I have a different viewpoint than nymommy's. We use CL to sell items and always get what what we feel is the true value of the item, based on its age and wear. Sure, it may not sell within a week, but over time the right buyer will always show up. I sold my backpack blower last summer and got at least 4 emails from guys telling me they'd offer much less than I was asking and to contact them when it didn't sell. Well, 3 days later I sold it for my asking price and the buyer didn't even make an offer since he knew he was getting a bargain. Whether you're asking $600 or $60 for a piece doesn't matter since the buyer still has to arrange transport. That's just part of CL and if a buyer can't arrange pick up then that leaves them with buying from a store front. It's easy to rent a truck from HD , borrow a truck from a friend, pay someone that hauls and occasionally, the seller will deliver for a fee. So, one can usually figure out a way to get an item to their house. Ok.......I'm off the CL box now. Don't know what got me started!

Finally heard back about the desk. Hopefully picking it up on monday. It's bigger than what the pics look! 45" wide. Not looking so good for the chairs. Ah well, one will show up that's meant for me. maybe. :) I'll have to take pictures of everything once i get it. Not sure where i'm going to put the spindle table if the buffet goes the foyer. A lot of wood real close together on the same wall. I could maybe put it in the LR on the other side of the couch near the lamp everyone says i should get rid of. Check out this. CL $50. buffet is 50" this is 40 something.. too much wood? I know i'm all over the place with my thread(s). Sorry, i'm just excited!

I use one of my two matching antique wing chairs regularly as a dining chair. Here's a really old photo preparing to host thanksgiving on our first year after the whole house reno. You can see that I brought the other wing chair from the LR to anchor the far end of the DR and add more seating. My 8 y.o. son loves to sit on the near end in that chair. He sits up on his leg though to get higher on the chair, but he still looks too low. I sometimes sit there during dinner parties and find it uncomfortably low. Also, I can't sit upright easily as the chair is so deep I can't sit against the chair back. I try not to place guests there because of this. I love the look of wings in a DR and only keep the wing there out of necessity. I don't really have enough room in my FR or LR for them after we reconfigured the rooms during the reno. Plus, I don't have enough dining chairs so this arrangement allows me to temporarily keep the wing chairs until I find a couple more matching antique dining chairs.

Is this like the turquoise? Art, etc. could repeat your turquoise.... Other lamps like this in different shapes [on houzz/ "shop"]
