Facebook Marketplace Finds : Boise, ID
It’s that time… are you ready for another Facebook Marketplace finds post? Last month I received some requests for Idaho, so we’re scouring Boise for treasure (furniture and decor) today! You’re not going to believe what I found- something I’ve been on the hunt for. There were lots good things floating around my feed, and it’s a little too tempting because Boise is definitely drivable from where we live. It’s not a fun or a quick drive, but it’s doable. Decisions, decisions. Click through to check out my finds this month…
*Photo disclaimer… I pulled the following images directly from Facebook Marketplace, so the size and quality of some isn’t the best. Ready to see my finds?
Bedside Chests
Do these look familiar?! This is my exact bedside dresser that I’ve been on the hunt for. I only have one and have been looking for a second to make a pair in our primary bedroom. These are five and a half hours away from us. Should I do it? I don’t even know if the seller would split up the pair. They’re also located in Emmett, Idaho. Is that sign? Speaking of Emmett- he actually thinks I’m crazy for even considering. Ha!

Antique Dining Table
This antique dining table is really special! I love the leg detail, and it comes with two chairs. This would be great in an office or studio, as well. It’s a beautiful timeless piece, and is only $150.

Antique Chair Set
Is anyone in need of project chairs? It seems like the cane needs replaced or repaired on at least one of these, but they’re in pretty great shape and would be stunning in the right setting. I could totally see these charming chairs around a marble table for a French aesthetic. They’re listed at $115 for the set, which feels fair.

Bedside Table Pair
More bedside tables… these would be ideal in a smaller bedroom. I’m digging the traditional lines and lovely shape, but think they would look best re-stained or painted. Can’t you imagine them in black? That’s where my mind went! They’re $120 for the pair.

Woven Trunk
I actually have one of these! It’s in one of our guest rooms and I get comments on it all the time. I love textural pieces like this that double as furniture and storage. It’s listed at $130, which is a lot more than I paid for mine, but it has been on the market for a week already. I’d offer $75 and see what happens.

Antique Console
This antique console stopped me mid scroll. This is another piece of furniture that might benefit from new paint or stain, but the ribbed texture is really nice! It’s listed at $85, but has been on marketplace for months. I’d message with $40 cash and an immediate pickup. Who knows! This could be a wonderful project.

Iron Patio Pairing
Isn’t this iron patio set so fun and quirky? I love the spherical shapes. It would be great on a small balcony or on a patio with limited space. Styled a French pleated cushion on the chair, pour yourself a drink, and plop down with a good book. This could make a very charming outdoor living vignette! For $75, it’s a decent deal.

Burl Side Table
This burl side table is another piece with classic lines and traditional details. It’s in fantastic shape and is listed at $150. I’d offer $100 and see if they bite, since it has been on the market a week.

Oversized Venus Bust
You know I love a bust! Is anyone in need of a plaster project? This Venus statue is really quite large (over three feet)! It was just marked down to $185.

Vintage Desk Set
Last but not least, a burl desk pairing. This desk actually reminds me of the one I refinished a couple years ago. The shape is very similar, but the hardware is different. This one needs some work, too. I think it’s very overpriced (for FBMP), as it’s listed at $650 and has been on the market for over a month. It does come with a beautiful chair, but I think I’d offer half of that (and cross my fingers I don’t insult the seller). You never know- maybe they want to get rid of it.

That’s it for this month’s Facebook Marketplace Finds. I hope you enjoyed it! Let me know which city you’d like me to search next in the comment section below. I also need your advice on the bedside dressers… should I try to snag a match for mine? Decisions, decisions. I hope you have a great day and a fun weekend ahead!
