I must give proper credit to my husband for actually thinking of and implementing the Grundtal system in the kitchen.  It was a great first apartment for us and we were sad to leave it.  Luckily we moved to Philadelphia, where there are TWO (count 'em, TWO) IKEA's.  Woot woot.

Craigslister

So over the last few months as I have been slowly decorating our apartment via IKEA and Craigslist, I have become somewhat of a very adept hunter of awesomeness.  I also recently got on Pinterest which has been so much more intuitive for me and allowed me to post some of the awesome things that I find on Craigslist but do not have the room or the budget to buy all of them.  Of course we are still working on our place, so some of the best things I find I don't even put on there until I've decided I'm not going to pursue them or I purchase them myself.  Since we are almost done I have also taken to hunting for certain items for my friends.  "Oh your looking for a tufted victorian couch?  Let me find some for you, what is your email and I will forward that to you..."  Don't mind me, but who wouldn't want a friend that finds them stuff like this:

or this!

Hit me up if you're on the Hunt.

Happy Easter
