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. Every week Ellen is going to share a roundup of some Phenomenal Finds with PoPville.
“Furniture is like architecture, only on a different scale. I’m happy working small.”
-George Nakashima
This week on Craigslist featured some incredible wood pieces – all kinds, all shapes. I’ve focused on, as usual, the ones that I want for myself!
Although I love modern design, when it comes to my own home I’m always careful to keep the overall feeling warm. That is, ‘modern’ doesn’t always have to mean sharp, white angles and chrome. One of the hallmarks of many of the great Danish designers was their ability to mingle the warmth and depth of wood with cool, clean lines. And, in my opinion, it doesn’t take much to soften the presence of too much of that white and chrome – any single one of today’s Listed District Phenomenal Finds could soften a modern collection, yet never feel out of place.
Happy Hunting!
Full list of finds after the jump.

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.
