I think I'm In LOVE!

I currently have my eyes set on this cute little number that I found on Craigslist. Do I need a dresser? Not especially, but when you find one THIS CUTE, you just can't pass it up.

How cute is the raised detailing???!!

And then replace the drawer pulls with some of these cute clear crystal ones... SO CUTE!Wish me luck! I hope they take my offer :)

Note to Craigslist Sellers:

Calling something "Vintage" or "Chic" doesn't make it magically become cute, no no, it's still a PIECE OF CRAP, so stop tricking me into clicking your ad.

Some Examples:
Seller's Description: Cute Shabby Chic Desk/Vanity $55
Seller's Description: Shabby Chic Wood Desk -$120

My Idea of Cute/Vintage/Chic:

Can you say dream Desk? So cute! Someone help me locate this...
Of course by the time I contacted the seller for this one it was gone.
SOOOOOO Cute. But when I went to see it it was a bit on the small side.

I would like to get a used desk so I don't have to spend a lot, but honestly, some of the desks I'm finding on Craigslist are super expensive! I'm looking for a desk that has leg room because I'm fidgety, preferably table style so I can move back and forth and get up without having to scoot my chair out each time. I would also like it to be white, but I am totally down to repaint a desk if I find one I like. Is this all too much to ask for???

Any Suggestions as to wear I can find a good desk?? Or better yet, the dream desk in the picture??

I've tried all of the following websites, but if you have more ideas LET ME KNOW!!
-Target
-Wal-Mart
-Kohl's
-Jc Penny
-Sear's
-Pier 1
-Cost Plus World Market

I've even gone "antiquing" and thrift store shopping with Josh, but we came out very empty handed.
