Someone give this girl a TV show!

We received an email from a reader named Lauren recently...it seems Lauren wants to be a TV star. :-) And I think she totally has potential for her own HGTV show. She sent us a link to a webisode she filmed with Craigslist TV where she posts on craigslist offering to redecorate someone's place exclusively using craigslist to find all the design materials and furniture. Her video is alot of fun so I thought I'd share with you all. (P.S. Not only is she a decorator but an artist - find her work here.)

She's awesome - lots of talent & personality. I would totally watch her show!

Great job...but the budget of $500 was only for the Craigslist items.

The decorator and her teams time are not included in the budget. This would have been hours and hours of work, truck rental as well as installation on the day of the housewarming.

Agreed though, she could definitely host a show!

LOL, at 2:08, the eyes widen: $500?! budget. I've had that moment myself.

I noticed that look too Dane, but she did it! I've furnished at least 5 apartments a very strict budget from CL before too, it's hard but it can me done.

I'd watch her show. Heck...if i'd watch it on youtube, i'd definitely watch it on hgtv!

They could make a show just based on all the people you buy stuff from! I can just imagine the kinda characters you meet!

I think Mark was sooo funny!

Good show... love it!


Go Lauren!

I would watch it too, but if it takes off, I can guarantee all the prices on Craigslist will suddenly go UP!

22 Nov 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnne

That would be such a great idea for a show. I LOVE IT!

22 Nov 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMandi

great idea! but...don't we all do this anyway??
i think it would definitely be nice to see a different perspective on re-purposing furniture, etc, but at the same time, i think anne (above) might be right...craigslist prices might go up eek!

oh, and i'd totally watch it if she promised not to say "fugly"

Wasn't this girl on "Millionaire Matchmaker?" The episode with Albie & Chris (sons of a Real Housewife of NJ)

Oh man, she did such a terrific job but I have to admit I was in love with her from the first rattle of her fab chunky bracelets.

Wish I was young and pretty; I've been doing this for years and frankly, my CL finds beat this chick's by a country mile! Envious? Bitter? You bet.

This woman has all kinds of TV potential, too:

Cute girl but man she killed those chairs!

She did a great job. And she has a great sense of style too. I want to hire her. What is her name ? Lauren .....? Under the video there is her web page http://www.ilufflife.com/ but it's not working anymore. Do you guys know any contact on her or her web with more stuff? I want to hire her for decorating my apartment.
