Craigslist Miami Finds: 8/10/11

1940's Antique Borghese Mirrored Credenza/Sideboard/Buffet/Console Table Expensive but AWESOME! I could totally picture this in a foyer with an eclectic vignette of items hanging out on top with a funky array of artwork hanging on the wall above it! *Sigh* Possibilities...

Hi there!

I've been getting lots of requests from readers, family and friends asking about my Craigslist posts! It has been a long time since I did one huh? Apparently everyone really likes it when I sift through the tons of pages of antique junk and pull out all the gems! Haha, I can't blame you, it's the same reason why some people don't like to shop at TJMaxx, Marshalls and Ross - too much crap to look through before finding the good stuff! Well, you're in luck, because I LOVE to do just that (online or in a store).... So, without further delay, here is my latest Craigslist Treasures post with the best antique and vintage furniture and accessories I could find. I will try to make this a weekly habit.

Remember - click the description below each image (it's a link to the listing) for more information on the piece, photographs and seller contact information. Enjoy, and sorry for those of you who don't live in or near Miami, I hope you don't fall in love with anything in this post, hehe. :)

P.S. - I tried to only include affordable items, but some pieces were so nice I included them just for inspiration - for example, the funky mirrored credenza above has such a glamorous bohemian vibe that I just had to show you!)

Antique Wood Banker's Chair

The item above appears to be a retro/vintage wood (or maybe formica and high density particle board - who knows) and can be used as a dining room buffet or sideboard, or an entertainment console, or even a dresser! The item below appears to be a retro/vintage dining room table and chairs set. The image isn't very clear, but my instincts tell me that this dining room set is cute, and could be great if the chairs were reupholstered with something bold and modern.

The listing says both pieces are over 30 years old, so definitely retro vintage - listed at $200.00. Click here for more information, including contact.

Now, before you overlook this mirror for being a bit gaudy (as I first did) take a second look and you might notice that this mirror could be the statement-making piece in a foyer or above a bedroom dresser (or in any other room for that matter)! It has a glamorous feel to it, if you mix it with other styles it could look very eclectic bohemian glam!
