A 20-Something Fills Her DC Apartment With Craigslist Finds

Name: Sarah
Location: Georgetown — Washington, D.C.

This is the third apartment I've lived in post-grad. I love living alone—it allows me to truly highlight my style (plus, I'm a bit of a neat freak!). I currently live in a one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Georgetown. Although I grew up in the Washington, DC, suburbs, this is my first time living in the area since high school. After college, I lived in NYC and Philadelphia, and I'm loving being back in DC (and especially in Georgetown!). I had fun decorating each apartment, but this is a place I hope to stay in for years (a long commitment for a 20-something!).

What's special about this apartment? You'd never guess, but I purchased 95 percent of my furniture off of Craigslist! The only things I bought for full price (aka, from a store) were my bed, headboard, couch, and front console table. Everything else has been the result of successful scavenger hunts! I'm all about decorating with style, but as a 25-year-old, it's important that I stay on a budget. Since I love mixing up my style so much, Craigslist is actually a great option, because I don't feel too guilty about parting with a $20 side table.

My style is a mix of classic and quirky. I'm obsessed with the set of campaign dressers I purchased off of Craigslist this past winter. I worked with someone local who gave the big dresser a fresh coat of paint, and it's such a great piece to have in my living room. I also love the bamboo chest my mom and I spray painted blue over the summer (it's another CL find!).

Thanks, Sarah!

The ghost estates that still haunt Ireland

Image
A decade after the crash, Shannon Valley housing estate , on the outskirts of Ballaghaderreen, in Co Roscommon, remains unfinished and partly in ruins. Although the number of “ unfinished housing developments ” has fallen sharply since 2010, Shannon Valley is one of hundreds that still dot the country. The Guls: ‘Every day I put rats in the bin’ Fatima Gul says her little brother, Yousaf, doesn’t like the rats. He jumps up on the sofa or the table in the living room when they come into the house. Their parents don’t allow Fatimar, who is 10, or her nine-year-old sister, Maryam, or Yousaf and his twin, Zohra, who are five, to play near the houses on the other side of their green. It’s too close to the rats and the rubble. Shannon Valley “ ghost estate ” outside Ballaghaderreen, Co Roscommon.
