SCORE! Maria's Warm + Modern Credenza

Maria in Adams Morgan was nice enough to share these pics of her favorite CL find - a gorgeous Mid Century credenza. A fun fact about this lovely piece, via Maria:

"This dresser only had one owner prior to us - from 1965 to 2011. I'm hoping we have just as long of a history together."

I think Maria has done this piece plenty of justice - it's warm and personalized, yet modern and sophisticated. WINNING.

Thanks for sharing, Maria!

SCORE! Amber Eve's Retro Vision

WHAT THE WHAT - two reader submissions in one week?? First Christine, now Amber Eve! This is amazing.

Amber Eve sent over the below pics of her favorite finds - a few of which she found on this very site! The sofa bench, matching chair and sofa, kitchen table, coffee table and side tables were all scored from CL...well played! From Amber Eve:

"The two CL purchases of which I am most proud are my kitchen table and my matching couch and chair. My favorite part about the kitchen table is that I didn't even know it had cherry blossoms printed on it until it was delivered to my house by the seller. And my favorite part about the matching couch and chair -- other than the fact that they perfectly match my living room rug -- are that they only cost me $50. Plus, they perfectly frame my sofa bench, which I first saw on your site and got a good deal on after it had been on CL for a few weeks."

I totally remember that couch and chair - and I was so hoping that someone would have the vision to appreciate it! Sometimes that's all a good CL find needs - a little vision!

My favorite thing about this series is seeing how others incorporate such unique pieces into their homes. Christine and Amber Eve have set the bar pretty high - but keep sending me pics of your best CL finds!

SCORE! Christine's Up-Cycled Storage

So I asked you to send me some examples of your favorite Craigslist scores...and I got the first one!

Christine in Columbia Heights sent me a great shot of her amazing lamp and fruit crates, both from CL. She's artfully up-cycled the crates as modular storage - take that IKEA!

So.....keep sending me pics of your awesome finds!

SCORE

I may have officially come out of CL-purchase-retirement...BEHOLD! My first CL purchase in quite sometime, and it was worth the wait! (just the ottoman, Jens Risom chair was a former SCORE...they look like they were meant for each other, right??)

Side bar: you may not believe me, but I do realize that I am not the only person to find incredible stuff on CL. In fact, I'm 100% sure that I don't find even half of all the good stuff out there.

So, that got me thinking - I'd love to hear from you. Send me pics of your best CL scores (and how you've so perfectly utilized them in your space) so I can share them with the few, the proud, Listed District readers! As motivation, I'll share a few of mine (and there are a lot) in the coming weeks.
