As many of you know, I'm enamored with the idea that good design doesn't have to cost a fortune. I just love when second-hand furniture and clever people come together to produce magic.
I spied these chairs on Craigslist for $25.00 each. It took all my strength not to pick up the phone and buy them from the seller on the spot. Some new cushions and they'd be dynamite. Reminded me a lot of Joi's chairs from Nuestra Vida Dulce.
She has serious vision when it comes to the potential of furniture. A lot of her furniture picks are pieces my grandma may have had in her living room.

My favorite of all is a feature she does called, "What's Good in Your Hood?" She picks a reader's city and scours Craigslist for the best scores. She is to Craiglist what Eddie Ross is to flea markets.
