Facebook Marketplace Finds : Louisville, KY
I know it’s not Friday YET, but surprise- I have a Facebook Marketplace Finds post lined up for today! I’m bringing some weekend joy to you a bit early, since I haven’t been posting on Fridays. My latest find on FBMP was the vintage Henredon bench, pictured above. I picked that beauty up last weekend and am planning to style it in our upcoming guest room reveal. So far I’ve scoured Columbus, Denver, Dallas, Salt Lake City (my home city), and Chicago. I’m making my way down a long list of your requested cities, and today I’m featuring my finds from… Louisville. My family lives in Kentucky and my mom sent me a Zillow link earlier this week for a, probably haunted, 1800s mansion. It kind of made me miss the architecture in the bluegrass state. Speaking of, follow this Instagram account based in KY, if you like looking at old houses. We just don’t have as much of that here in Utah. Anyway- I thought it would be fun to shop my old stomping grounds and see what I could dig up. This one is for my friends and fam in the tri-state region (Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio). Enjoy these finds from Louisville and the surrounding areas- I hope some of you can snag some cool furniture…
*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?
Dining Set
This dining set is a major budget find… for $100, you get 6 cane back chairs (though the upholstery could use some cleaning or new upholstery), and a dining table. The shape is really great and the table extends. This is an awesome deal and could be a really cute set with a little elbow grease!

Brass Vessel
This brass pedestal vessel has a really fun shape. It’s a super score for $6 and would make a very cool waste basket in a home office or powder room! Someone hurry and grab this.

Chinoiserie Chairs
These vintage chairs are in incredible shape. I’m assuming they were recently restored and reupholstered. They’re very well done and I actually really like the seat cushion fabric as well. The overall shape is quite designerly and there are only two left. I think they’re priced a bit high- especially given half of the set sold. The demand for a pair of chairs is much less than a set. Since there are only two available and they’ve been on the market for a long time, I’d offer $190 for both (a BOGO situation). If you really want them, you may have to go higher.

Vintage Oil Painting
This original vintage oil painting is fantastic! The frame is stunning, and the portrait is very well done. I love oil portraits, and this one has a great scale. It’s honestly worth way more than the $250 asking price. I will always be willing to invest in original artwork.

Henredon Nighstand
This vintage nightstand has a classic, traditional shape… and it’s a high-end designer brand, Henredon. I think it would look lovely painted! It’s listed at $150, but has been on the market for quite some time… I’d offer $75 and see what happens. It’s a great piece!

Vintage Modern Chairs
You can snag six of these modern chairs for $200- or probably less. They’ve also been listed for awhile, so I think you could offer $150 to start. They have a great sculptural shape (which is very “in” right now), the color blocking is beautiful, plus they stack.

Ethan Allen Sofa
This white Ethan Allen sofa is in fantastic shape. It’s upholstered in performance fabric, so don’t let the bright neutral color freak you out. The cushion covers are also removable for easy washing, so it seems like an awesome durable, designer piece. It’s listed for $900. I’d probably offer $750 and see how negotiation unfolds.

Antique Mirror
This gold antique mirror is incredibly beautiful. I think this would be a really versatile styling piece. It’s very sizable as well, at 53″ long! It’s listed at $125, but has been posted for awhile… I’d offer $100 to start. I love the ornate details and unique shape!

Woven Bedroom Set
This woven wicker bedroom set was just listed and I think many of these pieces would be really charming in a kids room or coastal home. You may even be able to pick and choose which pieces you’re interested in. The entire set is listed for $300, which I believe includes nightstands, two dressers, and a chair.

Dining Chair Set
Last, I found a set of six really gorgeous dining chairs. I love the frame style and the woven, textural back. I’m not in love with the seat cushion upholstery fabric (which happens to be new), but that could easily be updated. Can you imagine them in animal print (think Scalamandré) or something fun! $225 for the entire set and these could be yours. They were just listed and I imagine they’ll go fast.

As always, please let me know if you end up with any of these pieces! I love seeing vintage furniture from FBMP posts end up in your amazing homes. I hope you all have a fun Halloween weekend ahead!
