Craig + Kelly = BFFs

Those who know me might think I'm talking about Johnville (and he is pretty cool), but I'm actually talking about his arch nemesis's list.  Jim has told me he's cutting me off of Craigslist.com soon, because I can't stop purchasing things there.  Yesterday I went and picked up this chair for $25--------------------->

I think it's pretty cool looking and will be a fun accent piece in our "formal" living room.   The quotes are because I'm sure it won't actually be "formal" but I think that's what you're supposed to call it.

I want some cool, older touches in the new place - our current house doesn't have much of that.  The room below is the aforementioned formalish room that I'm planning to paint in Behr's "Anonymous" (I think - I need to see it in person - it will be some sort of grey):

I think it will look nice against the white.  The red chair is going in that corner where the wine rack is now, probably with a cool looking light of some sort.  Our current couch will be up against the wall to the left, and the giant corner thing will be replaced with our smaller corner TV stand and a tv.  Haven't decided yet if I'm using the rug from our current house or if I want to invest in a new one.

I also bought this on CL for $20 - not sure what to do with it yet ------->
Ideas?  I think it will likely be a coffee table much like it is right now, but I think the top needs to be fixed a little - either further distressed to cover up the peeling, or painted.  I'm leaning toward the first option.  I dig the old feel of it, and it's going to serve as storage for the multiple blankets in our living room.

And finally, I purchased this thing for $15, which I think is totally cool but maybe it's just me.  It says "Rochester Brewing Co." on it and it has inserts on the inside that happen to be the same size as wine bottles.  So, I could either turn it on its side and use it as a pretty cool wine rack (though there is not room for it on our counter tops - it would need to be drilled into the wall), or, I'm considering putting it on the floor in the family room and using it to store the multiple magazines and newspapers that are always strewn around our house.  I'm thinking that rolled up in there, they will look ultimately cooler than they do in messy piles around our house.  Though the piles do have their character.

I just found an elliptical trainer and emailed a woman about it.  I need help.

Someone stage an intervention, or update my firewall without telling me, or do something.  Jim will thank you later.
