Listed District’s Phenomenal Finds Vol. 3 – Industrial Revolution

Ellen Richardson, a graphic designer and Pleasant Plains resident, recently took her Craigslist hunting skills to the next level with the launch of her blog, Listed District. Listed District offers daily DC Craigslist findings of everything from Mid-Century and Industrial furniture, to bikes and the utterly strange. Growing up in north Alabama, Ellen got plenty of flea market and antique mall scouring practice – she’s drawn to the interesting histories of the unique (and strange) so, don’t expect her to post too many IKEA leftovers. Every week Ellen is going to share a roundup of some Phenomenal Finds with PoPville.

It’s not for everyone, but like it or not, industrial salvage-inspired furniture is everywhere these days. Some say it’s a fad and will die out (God, I hope not). This entertaining article asks us: “…is the factory furniture fad an ironic statement about our post-industrial society where no one lifts anything heavier than a latte? Is it a quixotic endeavor to re-create America’s manufacturing dominance, if only in microcosm?”  Who knows…but collectors and store owners are laughing all the way to the bank.

You can pay a ton or a little, you can find it in a boutique or in a barn lot…you can even make something yourself. Or, you can do what Listed District does and scavenge Craigslist! Add some texture and history with some of these great, Industrial-inspired CL finds.

Phenomenal finds after the jump.

This rental is located at 1695 35th Street NW. The Craigslist ad says:

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
