Facebook Marketplace Finds : Indianapolis, IN
Happy Friday! It has been a few months since I’ve shared Facebook Marketplace Finds. Today, I searched Indianapolis for my Hoosiers. Fun fact- I went to design school at Indiana University in Bloomington and have lots of family and friends in Indianapolis. I can’t believe it has taken me this long to search Indy. Anyway- there were lots of treasures to be uncovered, and I even snagged something for myself this time around! Even if you’re not located in Indianapolis or the surrounding cities (I’m talking to you Louisville, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Chicago), if you see something you like- be sure to save it. This will help refine your algorithm, which will result in serving you similar items in your local area. Click through to see what I dug up on FBMP this month, as well as what I bought for myself…
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?
Designer Bistro Chairs
These Serena & Lily bistro counter stools retail for almost $400 each… this seller has them listed for $250 per stool, plus a better discount for a pair, and an even better deal for the entire set. They’ve been listed for awhile, so you may be able to snag them for even less. I actually really love the classic black and they’re in perfect condition.

Large Dresser
This charming dresser stopped me mid scroll. It’s a great size and would be ideal for a bedroom or entryway. It was just listed for $275 and I have a feeling it will go quickly!

Designer Ruhlmann Chandelier
I’m not even going to lie- I stumbled upon this chandelier and immediately called dibs! Sorry Indy friends- I didn’t even give you a chance. Ha! My search radius captured this gem in northern Kentucky and I immediately messaged the seller, sent payment, and convinced my parents to go pick it up for me (thanks Mom & Chris)! It’s retails for $1,000 and I’m thinking it would be perfect for our primary bath above the soaking tub, or maybe even in one of the guest rooms we haven’t finished yet. I also recognized that bed in the background (it’s Ralph Lauren) and asked if the seller wanted to part with it, but no luck… she did let me buy four other items though. I can’t wait to share them with you… I’ll probably ship all my goods back when Emmett & I are scheduled to visit our family in Kentucky later this August. Good find, right?!

Iron Patio Table & Chairs
For $200, this 5-piece patio set is the fixer upper summer project you NEED. Use my previous patio chair makeover as inspiration and give them a fresh coat of black paint with gilded accents. Those chairs are timeless and have a great shape- they just need a little cleaning and love.

Vintage Chest of Drawers
For $250, this gorgeous vintage chest of drawers would be ideal for an entryway or anchoring the end of a hall. It’s really sturdy looking and again- I’m digging the shape and hardware. Very pretty and well worth $250, in my opinion!

Figure Drawing in Burl Frame
This original figure drawing caught my attention- it’s from the 40’s and I love the burl frame and inset mat. This would be a fun and timeless addition to any art collection or gallery wall.

Oversized Handmade Planters
Since we’ve been on a major outdoor living kick around here, of course heavy oversized handmade pedestal planters ended up in my feed (a happy accident)! These beauties are $100 each, which is far less than you’d pay at the local greenhouse or nursery for this size.

Woven Lampshades
Another convenient coincidence… woven lighting! I had to include these because if you’ve been looking to upgrade a lamp, chandelier, or sconce- this is the perfect way to do it… swap the shade! You could even make a seasonal change for summer. These designer woven shades from Ballard are a steal- listed at $60 for the set. However, they’ve been listed for awhile, so I’d offer $40 and see what happens. I feel like they’d go for it, since it’s a niche item.

Wood Wall Mirror
This curvy wall mirror has a classic shape, beautifully stained frame, and would be ideal for a bathroom or vanity. I can imagine a sconce installed above it… that would be gorgeous and the perfect way to add warmth and character to a bath. For $40, this large French-inspired mirror is a no brainer.

Vintage Console Table
Last, but not least… a pretty console table, that is oddly also a dining table? Insert confused face here. I’m not sure what’s going on with that, but it expands and includes a leaf or two. I’d use it as a console, but hey- whatever fits your space! For $100, this one was just listed and it will go quick.

I always set my search radius for the max (250 miles) because I’m willing to drive or road trip if I find something amazing (or make family across the country do it on my behalf, ha). Therefore, if you’re in the surrounding cities- Dayton, Cincinnati, Louisville, Chicago, etc, some of these may be feasible for you, too! Where should I search next month? This was fun. It has been wayyy too long since I’ve scored something THAT good on Marketplace. Now that I’ve got a taste of victory, I’m going to be scrolling more often. It always works out that way, doesn’t it? Here’s to a wonderful weekend ahead!
