Why do you love shopping on Craigslist?
"I love shopping on Craigslist for a lot of reasons. For one thing, the thrill of the hunt gets me every time — when I come across something that I connect with, I can't resist hunting it down and making it my own. Also, I love the uniqueness and randomness of Craigslist items. I feel good knowing that the same items probably can't be found in every condo within a 25-mile radius, which means that my home is crafted to be unique and special to me. And lastly, because it's my own simple way of recycling! I wonder how many things in my house might have ended up in a landfill if I hadn't rescued them and given them a new chance at life?"
What is your favorite Craigslist score?
"My favorite would probably have to be our 8-foot credenza. It was once a part of an architect's desk, which is extremely fitting for our house. Also, the 8-foot length is pretty hard to find, and feels perfectly in scale with the large wall [in the living room]."
Plants love the light in the couple's home. Richardson made the planter by drilling a hole in vintage stoneware found at Miss Pixie's.
