If I Lived in Atlanta.....


The other day, Matters of Style did a Craigslist Envy post. It was really cute...all about what she loved on CL from another area. You know I am always talking about how I stalk CL I thought it would be fun to pick a city, and see what CL had in that area. 

TODAY is Atlanta..aka Hotlanta!

I spent quite a bit of time in Atlanta in the late 80's early 90's... Before the Underground was built.
 Yes, I am probably older than you.

Here are some of the CL finds that I would buy

Just look at that bamboo frame!



These mirrors

I would paint them like this

And speaking of chandelier.....

I hope somebody will go and grab these great treasures. What are you hunting for?

Love those mirrors--I am a mirror junkie! I'm looking for matching tables/chests to flank my fireplace. Not as big as a Bombay Chest; not as small as an end table--'something just right' as Goldlocks would say.

My CL usually stinks but the lanterns you found for Nancy were in my area. I just picked them up for her and the lady had tons of open back frames that I need for some paintings. I got 11 for $40. She has my email and is on the hunt for more frames and chinoiserie pieces.

Great finds linda! I'm on a hunt for side tables, chests, benches and pub table - don't think I'll be able to get all at once but I think the thrill of the hunt will keep me going for a while too! Have a wonderful weekend dear!

I am on the hunt for either a French provincial or Hollywood Regency vanity stool. I check our CL Phoenix everyday. No luck in the 2 months search but I know it will eventually happen. :)

Love your finds!

I sent an email back to you, but I'm not sure you got it?

I love those mirrors and the chair and ottoman combo. Great finds. I agree those mirrors will look like a million bucks when it's all painted like the inspirational picture!

P/S: Thanks for entering the candle giveaway, Linda. Good luck!
