Finally! After weeks of obsessively checking Craigslist, I came across an Ektorp chair (usually $250) for $50! I know it looks gross in the picture, but that's because the slipcover was ripped in the front so I just went ahead and took it off when we got it home, and I'm planning on buying a new white slipcover for $29 when we make our trip to Ikea soon.
I probably should have waited to post of picture of my chair with a new slipcover for a more dramatic reveal, but I just couldn't wait to share!
Sooooo for all of $80 I will have come in waaaaay below my original $500 budget for a new chair.
Woo hoo!

Fabulous find. I love it. Hugs, Marty
Woohoo for CL stalking! It almost always is worth the time and effort. The chair is gonna be perfect with the new slipcover.
What a skill in watching Craig's List! I think you did score! $50!
Yay on finding a chair! And just wanted to let you know (in case you're looking for a specific item like this in the future), there's a website called List Alert. You enter what you're looking for (ie. Ektorp chair) and they email you whenever a new one is listed in your area!
AmandaR,
I had no idea that that List Alert existed! Thanks for the heads up!
Yay! I love when stuff like that pans out! Those types of finds make me cheer all day!!!! I hope you feel that happy, too. (i think so) :)
Love love the progress in your bedroom! I love craigslist scores! I got the exact same chair with a white slip cover for 80. The pillow cover part was ripped on the side {you dont even see it ;) } They are so cozy!
I am a new follower! & We are currently re doing our bedroom as well!
Where did you get your bed linens if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks :)
I've had my duvet cover for over 5 years and it's from Pottery Barn. It's pretty old, but I still love it!
Congrats! I love that awesome feeling you get when you've scored a great deal. Can't wait to see the slip cover.
Awesome deal. I'm going to Craigslist now.
Proof that I should keep stalking Craigs List! What an awesome find. Congrats. You're room is coming together so nicely.
