This week on Craigslist
I have decided that one of the best things about having Ikea open a store in Utah is the fact that there is now a ton of super cheap Ikea stuff on Craigslist. Some of the best deals I have found this week are a black leather poang chair for $50. It would normally run you over $200 with the leather. I’m not a huge fan of the cherry, but it’s worth it just for the leather covers. There were also a couple good deals on Malm beds. There was an older ad for one in birch with sidetables for $75 and one in white with a mattress for $200. I emailed these guys, but no response yet 
.
Craigslist has more than just Ikea goodies this week though. The Saarinen chairs shown above are a steal at $260 for the pair. I also came across a nice looking stainless steel Jen-Air gas stove for $300. It looks like it may be missing a bottom drawer.

Hi Creede,
Sorry, but I snagged the birch Malm, and not to rub it in, but I got it for 50 bucks! In all fairness, it needed a teeny bit of TLC, but now it’s together and looks great.
Also, I have some great info on firepits for you and your readers. After a post on your blog about the washing machine drum fire pit, I became obessed with finding a cool, modern fire pit. I found this one, http://johntunger.typepad.com/artbuzz/2007/07/isosceles-recyc.html, but it was very expensive. I set out to find someone who could make one on a budget, and a really nice guy named Cliff from Steel Tech in Clearfield was up for the job.
In the meantime though, I discovered that at Wasatch Steel you can buy half-cylinders that are 30″ or 36″ across for around 50-60 bucks. I recessed one in my backyard, and it looks amazing. It’s a great way to reuse material, and they are pre-rusted for your convenience
I will send you a pic if I ever get batteries for my camera.
Your place looks great by the way! Keep the pics coming!
Cheers,
Melissa
