Anyone who knows Mikel Welch will find it charmingly appropriate to hear how he found his apartment: "Believe it or not, I found it on Craigslist," Welch says. The designer, who is currently hosting the buzzedabout Murder House Flip on Quibi, actually got his start through the website: When he decided to switch careers to design, he began posting Craigslist listings. Now, years after Steve Harvey hired him and he found success on Trading Spaces, Murder House Flip, and more (including landing on House Beautiful's Next Wave list) Welch hardly needs to head to the site to land gigs. But, he's still a devoted scourer of listings, many of which have resulted in some of the most unique pieces in his apartment, which he has transformed from a blah space into a layered oasis that blends a serene palette with rich textures, references to travel, and, of course, a whole lot of DIY.
