Taxes. Work deadlines. Press deadlines. You get the picture…I’ve been trapped under something heavy.
So as to not leave you empty-handed for too long, I’m passing on a tip I just discovered over the weekend. It will make your vintage, second-hand shopping much, much easier. And the reuse of pre-loved pieces is one of the best ways to express your personal style and go fabulously green. Are you ready?
Listpic.com – This is a real-time image browser of everything sold on Craigslist. Enter your location to whittle down the options. Choose your favored category like “furniture” and CLICK.
Drumroll please…
An instant feast of photos of sofas, chairs, sideboards, lamps each listed with a price and location. Mouse-over that Eames-period plywood chair and the actual text listing will pop up like a Pop Tart from a toaster.
This works everywhere…as an experiment I typed in “Israel” and in the Art category were some paintings.
You’ll never have to click through each little listing again. It’s like–magic.
Enjoy!
