In lieu of Fridays Finest Finds, I thought I'd change things up a bit and start a new weekly post called Craigslist This Space. I'll share an inspirational image and recreate the scene by finding similar pieces on Craigslist in the DC metro area and supplement non-secondhand items when necessary. So here we go...
Below is a very eclectic and energetic space designed by Windsor Smith for her L.A. home...

Not every item may be exact, but the idea is simple...it is so easy to design an entire space using second hand items. You can be green and glamorous!
Fantastic idea! I think the craigslist finds reflect the room very well.
