Items of particular interest always seem to be retro-shaped sofas and fantastic chairs. They’d need reupholstering and I’d probably refill the cushions, but it’s the thrill of saving a few bucks and customizing my own find that keeps me coming back for more.

UPDATE: I finally found a photo from the latest issue of Domino that features Rashida Jones' NYC appartment. It's on stylecourt, a great design blog. Doesn't Rashida's stunning sofa remind you of this waiting to be rixed up craigslist find?
