15 under 50 Updated

Attention Atlanta-ites, Georgia-dwellers, scavengers of a good deal, and packrats from near & nearer. Bower Power's 15 under 50 has been updated with a bunch more...well, 15 technically...of great Craigslist finds for your lusting pleasure that won't break the bank.

Favorite find of the week:

An antique wardrobe with six intact drawers and a hanging rack on the opposite side. Since this puppy has some water damage, get ready to hone those refurb skills. Can't you just see how functional this piece could be in pretty much any room? Those little drawers could be holding table linens in a dining area, extra toiletries in a bathroom, or your gift wrapping goodies in the spare bedroom. And speaking of bathroom cabinets - if my crummy cabbie can look good after a couple layers of paint - so can this guy.

So kiss your restraint goodbye and go check out some good ole southern deals by clicking the 15under50 button on the sidebar :)

What does one ugly gold chandelier have in common with Martha Stewart? They are both in a chain gang! heehee. (Martha, if you are reading this I am sorry and I love you). No seriously. l.o.v.e. Anyhoo.

Getcha this craptastic blandelier for $15 and spray away for a good coverage of thin white coats followed up by a topcoat and....drumroll please....you end up with a look alike of this beeeeutiful Martha Stewart Veneto Glass Chandelier from Shades of Light.

Price difference = $ 1080.

Eat that with your bacon and smoke it...the bacon...smoke the bacon...it tastes really good that way. And after you finish eating, go check out some good ole southern deals by clicking the 15under50 button on the sidebar :)

15 Under 50

No, this isn't some post about the 15 hottest celebutards under the hill. This one is for my Atlanta peeps (but don't worry, if you are from somewhere else, this can be a good reference tool for you too!). Yes, my fine friends, here is my new latest Bower Powerful tool to help out you penny pinchers. It's called 15 under 50.


All you gotta do is click on the 15 under 50 button on the sidebar and it will take you to a Photobucket slideshow that contains this weeks top 15 Craigslist finds under 50 dollars. I plan on updating that weekly (but just like Britney's virginity promise, you can't hold me to it).

So let's just say you see something utterly fantastic - (or at least has fantastic potential) like this:


or these:


well, then pause the slideshow. Then run your mouse over the photo of the lovely desired item and above the said photo will appear the "GET LINKS" link. Click it and it will take you to the craiglist link....so you can actually buy it!

And for those of you that live outside of the great Peach state...too bad soo sad. SIKE! This is a great reference tool for you too! See something you like, then go scour your own local craigslist. Not only does it give you a price point but it gives you negotiating power with the seller.

Plus, I make notes on each photo - ways I would use it or things to redo or what style it would work with. So if you see something similar to that item lurking in your basement or stored in your attic, you immediately have some ideas on how to reuse, recycle, or repurpose! And isn't that the best way to be green?!?!

One stipulation...if you find something off of 15under50 and redo it, you must pinky promise me that you will send me befores & afters. Because you know there ain't nothing I love more than making over cheapo finds!
