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

This chandelier
And speaking of chandelier.....
If you liked my pineapple chandelier that I posted about here
I found one on the New Jersey CL
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.
Cute idea for a post! I love those mirrors and they would look great painted like that inspiration picture.
TGIF lady! Those mirrors are killer!
Those mirrors! I NEED them : )
Wow...those mirrors are great. Love the idea for the post!
I am just leaving Atlanta ... finally made an HOUR run through of Scott's ... I love ATLANTA for shopping, CL, everything. It just seems to have the STUFF!! I made it onto the plane with my horse and a few other goodies I picked up on the way out!! I need to start a railroad business!! xo
Fun search! I hope you have a great weekend. We're busier than a one armed paper hanger.. bad joke. Our big install is this weekend.

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!
Hey Linda - Fabulous eye! The mirrors would look awesome painted....very similar to the white and orange/red ones. You should check out the DC listings :)

Love the mirrors too!
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!
