CraigsListRoundup: Thursday, April 12th!
By erinloechnerIt's a miscellaneous kind of day, so check out the latest in Misc. CLR fun:
Vintage Buckaroo Game: $25
I seriously don't believe this. From 1947, an original 'Buckaroo' board game with all pieces in tact. Seriously, if it wasn't in Glendale and if I didn't have a massive fear of L.A. freeway driving, I'd hike on over there this second.
Maybe they'll ship it?
Anyway, it's wonderful. Perfect for any collector, or maybe to spice up a kid's room. You k » READ MORE
CraigsListRoundup: Tuesday, April 10th!
By erinloechnerApril showers bring... May vintage goods. Check out the latest L.A.'s own has to offer:
Vintage Wooden Coffee Table: $60
Can you really blame me for falling head over hells for this adorable table? It's a mini-coffee table, perfect for serving drinks and/or hors'deouvres, or better yet--- a fresh bouquet of daisies.
Paint your walls barn red and let your contrast of colors do the talking.

CraigsListRoundup: Tuesday, March 27th!
By erinloechnerMy Perscription for a Well-Balanced Meal (ok, Room):
Sponsored by: Craig's List
Mikasa Vintage Dish Set: $75
Could anything taste bad on such an adorable platter? I've been loving yellow lately, and the thought of yellow on my plate is just enough to make me want to pack up and leave for the Viceroy Hotel a la Kelly Wearstler style.
I love this look; perfectly functional and yet so stylish. Whoever said diamonds were a girl's best friend has never » READ MORE
CraigsListRoundup: Thursday, March 22nd!
By erinloechnerSpring has officially sprung in Craig's Land. Check out the latest finds from L.A. that scream "Spring is here!"
Van Briggle Vase: $65
If this doesn't make you think spring, I don't know what will. A great piece whether it's rain or shine. Would be a great centerpiece in a mod, funky cherry-red kitchen, or would soften any outdoor party with white linens and some overhead lanterns.
I love the detailing around the rim and the balance between hard sur » READ MORE
CraigsListRoundup: Tuesday, March 20th!
By erinloechnerSo in honor of the BEST pastry I've had in YEARS (thank you, Starbucks!), today's CLR edition features the latest goods in Modern Danish. Check it out:
Danish Wood Cabinet: $400
Sounds like a lot, but WHAT a beauty. This rare design is a staple in the Danish community; quality wood, sleek architecture, signature legs.
I love the overall design of this cabinet, b/c it can double as a console, sideboard, end table, OR coffee table, depending on how cr » READ MORE
CraigsListRoundup: Thursday, March 15th!
By erinloechnerLamps galore on today's CLR! Check it out...
1950's Table Lamp: $48
Love this lamp base. The shade is a bit... well, iffy, but the base has MASSIVE potential.
Would add a lime green square shade to maximize the retro look of the base. Maybe even a tall red shade would work well in a posh bachelor pad?
Love it.
Click here for details and to purchase.
Antique Floor Lamp with Original Silk Shade: $150
Again, a winner all around. FINALLY, a floor lamp w » READ MORE
CraigsListRoundup: Thursday, March 8th!
By erinloechnerErin: Mirror, mirror, on the wall... why can't I find you at the mall?
Mirror: My dear, my dear, you're off the ball-- check Craig's List, the fairest of them all!
Ok so I'm no poet, but at least you know what today's CLR is about:
Full-Length Floor Mirror: $50
Love this mirror. Perfect for a kid's room, or perhaps even a fun and colorful master bedroom. Paired with a mustard yellow, this mirror could scream instant Viceroy. And hey, if you're not » READ MORE
CraigsListRoundup: Tuesday, March 6th!
By erinloechnerIn honor of my co-worker's upcoming nuptials (congrats, Melissa!), today's CLR is all about the finer things in life: china. Because I live in California and have limited (ok ZERO) storage space, I've never pursued my love for collecting those beautiful antique teacups I so dream of.
Until now. Not only can I NOT pass up these prices, but I just love the idea of someone's old china. Who did they have tea with? How old were they? Was her/his set » READ MORE
CraigsListRoundup: Thursday, March 1!
By erinloechnerHappy March everyone!
In honor of DIY Maven's latest expert lighting review, today's CLR is dedicated to the light of our lives: the lamp. Check out the hottest finds from L.A's best:
Modern Lucite Lamp: $149
Now THIS is my kind of piece. Trust me, I'm a self-proclaimed flea market freak, and I have never laid eyes upon such a beautiful (and affordable!) piece of lucite in my life.
This lamp would look stunning in a bright white office suite with o » READ MORE

Behold: the CREDENZA.
Try your hand at these three fabulous designs and you'll find that there truly is a credenza for everyone.

Vintage Eames Herman Miller Chair/Ottoman: $450
WOW.
Need. I. Say. More?
Check back Tuesday for more CLR... but don't expect this steal to stick around until then!
CraigsListRoundup: Tuesday, Feb. 20th!
By erinloechner
In case you missed last week's CLR, today's edition will be a bit different than my previous posts. After scouring Craig's List for the latest and greatest in furniture, antiques, and vintage home decor, it occurred to me (ok, it actually occurred to BRUNO), that I should be sharing the CL love in terms of space as well. In other words, can Craigs List do more than simply offer fabulous finds at even more fabulous prices?
You bet.

CraigsListRoundup: Thursday, Feb. 15th!
By erinloechnerHappy Day After to you all! Hopefully you've recovered from the 'Valentine Masses of 2007', whether that means you spent the evening in bliss with your honey, or spent it in sadness with your honey buns. Regardless, another V Day has passed and some of you are wondering what to do with that cute bouquet your neighbor brought you.
Look no further than today's CLR, where vases are all the rage in Los Angeles. See for yourself:

CraigsListRoundup: Tuesday, Feb. 13th!
By erinloechner
So. LA's CraigsList is feeling a bit dry today. Maybe b/c you Curbliers are snagging all the good stuff, or maybe b/c it's snowing in every other state except OUR'S, and we're feeling a bit lonely.
Either way, for today's CLR, I'd like to pose a challenge:
What do YOU want to see on CLR? Perhaps an expose on rocking chairs, or even old refrigerators. Maybe you want YOUR city/state featured in Thursday's edition. Or you may even want me to stop maki » READ MORE
CraigsListRoundup: Thursday, Feb. 8th!
By erinloechnerJust in time for Thursday's edition, packrats of Los Angeles offer four new styles of one of my FAVORITE things: coffee tables! All with a touch of glass, these tables are sure to liven up any space.
Modern Glass-Topped Coffee Table: $30
From IKEA (where else?!), this coffee table is best for the modern fan. I love this design, b/c it's so versatile. Stack a few fashion mags on the wood for a convenient display case, or leave it open to maximize yo » READ MORE
CraigsList Roundup: Tuesday, Feb. 6th!
By erinloechnerOk Curbliers, today's game is M-O-D-E-R-N... MODERN! Yes, I was a cheerleader, and no, I will not relive those days for you. Haven't I been through enough?!
Moving on... check out these latest Vintage/Modern finds from L.A:
Modern Bar Set: $200
Kind of space-agey, but still a good find if you wanna mix it up a bit. I can't remember the last time I saw ANY kind of set for $200, so I'm totally pumped about the price.
Just make sure you invite friends » READ MORE
CraigsListRoundup: Thursday, Feb 1!

In honor of the 'love month,' CLR is mixing it up today. I've scoured Craig's List all morning for the NUMBER ONE, TOP-NOTCH, TAKE NO PRISONERS, VERY BEST VALENTINE'S DAY PRESENT. EVER.
Whew. That's a mouthful.
Anyway, Craig's List, as always, has delivered in a BIG way. You won't believe what I've found...

By erinloechnerHi Curbliers!
It's that time again: CLR therapy for those with the Tuesday blues. And today, sit back, relax, and take a look at what CraigsList has to offer in my favorite form of seating: the chaise lounge.
Striped Vintage Chaise Lounge: $250 OBO
Gracious, I am in LOVE with this chaise lounge. Perfect for an afternoon nap, or just to pretend you're taking an afternoon nap, when really you're posing like a Grace Kelly movie star. You know, a normal » READ MORE

By erinloechnerOk for today's roundup, the name of the game is MODERN. Check out the latest finds from L.A's finest for proof that great design doesn't have to be expensive:
Ultra-Modern Filing Cabinet: $20
Believe it or not, this IS a filing cabinet. And how much fun would it be to have something OTHER than beige in your home office? Isn't that against the law--- a COOL filing cabinet?
Anyway, I'm loving it. And for $20, I might marry it even.
