I have only one piece of lucite furniture, and I love it dearly. It's a chrome and lucite coffee table I found on clearance for half price. I've had it for a few years now and with my full house hold it's earned lots of character in the way of scratches. I use the Novus cleaners and polishers to bring back the shine and erase the scratches.


How To Clean & Repair Scratches in Lucite Furniture

When my husband and I finally decided to get a dog we both insisted our soon to be 90 lb lab mix stay off the bed. It didn't last long. We both grew up sleeping with our dogs and he was so happy to be on the bed with us. Add another almost 90 lb shepherd mix and a rather robust cat, plus we are now 7 months pregnant and we have a very full bed. Even with my growing belly I love throwing my arm around our lab (who insists on cuddling with me) and my husband moves our shepherd around (who sleeps like a log). The cat has claimed her spot beside my pillow and wont move for anyone.

Where I'm from CL is pretty dead, but Kijiji fills the void. I've used it for everything, from furniture, buying both my dogs, and even to rent out my apartments. Sooo many things drive me nuts, my poor husband wonders why I let them bother me. Glad to know I'm not alone.

One of my current personal favorites is finding multiple ads listed from obviously the same person with only one or two works to state what the items are and no price or further description.
Really?
You really think your 'Sofa... contact for more details' is going to get that piece of furniture sold?|

Thank you so much for sharing this tour!

Hubby and I are in the middle of renovating a house that is eerily similar, right down to the 'cozy' basement.

You've reinforced my faith that a bright and fresh home can be made out of these super tiny old buildings.

I love the dresser you have in your bedroom, was it a flea market find? Gorgeous....
