Craigslist Miami Finds: 9/22/10

Antique Mahogany Wood Drop Leaf Table

Here are my Craigslist Miami furniture finds for today.... I hope someone out there in Miami can score some of these great classic pieces! I know I'm seriously considering where I can fit the Danish Modern Bahama Chaise Lounge! That thing could be stunning once reupholstered with a fresh new fabric, maybe even a Suzani! *gasp* Now that's a hell of an idea.... Hmmmm...

As I mentioned in Craigslist Miami Finds: 9/16/10, if you live in a different city and don't like the hassle of scavenging for good stuff on Craigslist, let me know what you are looking for and I'd be glad to do it for you!

Enjoy!

Beautiful Chairs Vol. 1

There are many beautiful chairs on planet earth, and that is the simple premise of this post. Thanks to all of the creative individuals out there, over the centuries a spectacular inventory of chairs have gone into circulation and I love looking at them for ideas and inspiration. As well, their design will forever remain in my memory for retrieval during future bargain hunting!

This is Beautiful Chairs Vol. 1... I will put together images of different chairs on a regular basis and post for your viewing pleasure. As you can see, many of the chairs in this post are upholstered in Suzanis and Ikat prints. If you like them, you may be interested in this post from a few weeks ago: Pakobel, Inc.: Handmade Rugs and Tapestries from the East.

Enjoy!

Weekend Bargain Hunting

I love bargain hunting! On the weekends, my good friend George and I love to hop in the car, cruise around town soaking up the sun and hitting up our favorite thrift shops, Goodwill's, antique shops and of course, garage sales... The Garage Sale Bandits, ha! This weekend (and last weekend too for that matter) were great bargain weekends, I found some wonderful little additions to my eclectic abode!

Craigslist chair: my before and after transformation

I got this small wood vintage side table from the same person that sold me the chair.

As for Goodwill...

I couldn't resist!

On my way in...

My treasure: a cute little foot stool for $5!

Not too shabby!

Some more milk glass vases for my rapidly growing collection :D

Some of my little owls sitting on the antique shelf I picked up for $3...

I also picked up this brass treasure box from India, aqua blue glass pitcher, small blue vase AND the hand painted replica of Van Gogh's Cafe Terrace at Night hanging on the wall in the background.

And, my favorite (and least expensive @ $1!) find of the entire weekend: a set of fine china teacups and their respective plates, made in Japan, with a beautiful Ikat-like flower print...
*sigh* :)

And as for TJMaxx... (hahahaha)....


Yes, I drove around with my new awesome navy blue and white Ikat scarf today... It made me feel glamorous, almost as though I was cruising around another country on vacation. On the other hand, George said people were going to think we just robbed a bank! Ha!
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend as much as I did... Have a good night!
