Past Craigslist Miami Furniture Posts

Art Deco or Mid-Century Modern table/side table/nightstand - $80.00


Vintage Mid-Century Modern Two-tiered wood coffee table and matching end tables - $500.00 o.b.o.
I think this is waaaay too expensive, but that's because I've seen these tables on the Craigs many times before for under $50, so if you like them keep on searchin' and I bet you'll find an affordable one!

Antique Wood China Cabinet and Hutch


Antique Wood Dining Room China Cabinet and Buffet/Sideboard - $300.00
A STEAL!


Antique Wood Armoire/Wardrobe - $300.00
Chance that fabric in the doors and this could be a great romantic piece for the bedroom!


Antique/Vintage Kneehole Desk by Heywood-Wakefield Furniture Co. from the "Heywood-Wakefield Modern" furniture line in the 1930's - $950.00!
Outrageously expensive but very cool and worth looking at just in case you see one dumped by the side of the road one day, or at a garage sale all covered in crayon drawing and scratches for $15 or anywhere else for that matter... Then you'll know it's a good quality desk and is worth restoring!

5 piece solid wood vintage bedroom set - $500.00


Antique Mahogany wood wardrobe/double armoire from Milan, Italy - $800.00

Antique Wood School Desk Chair - $35.00
This would be awesome to sand and paint a funky color.... white and turquoise perhaps, or any great combination of colors, the desk one color the chair another, maybe even the book rack underneath too for a bit of contrast!

Antique Wood and Metal School Desk/Chair - $175.00
Way too expensive, oh well!

Antique wood dresser with mirror - $80.00
Definitely needs some love, could be sanded and stained dark chocolate or even painted, especially with an accent color detailing the mirror frame!

Antique Dress Form - $99.00
This would be awesome to recover in a bold fabric and stick in the corner of your bedroom near a dresser or closet so you can drape necklaces, hats, scarves, etc on! My aunt has an antique dress form and she uses it like that - looks awesome!

Antique Wood Cart re purposed into a coffee table - $595.00
Expensive and more than a little dangerous looking for bare toes and curious children but so interesting I had to share it with you - if only for inspiration. It kind of reminds me of the increasingly popular re-purposed wood pallet coffee tables with giant casters!


Silver Metal Trunk - $45.00
Cool! Would be a great accent piece in a living room, perhaps as a coffee or side table? Or just along a wall with a high stack of coffee table books on top and a vignette of framed art hung above it!

Green Featherlite Vintage Luggage Set - $25.00
Small, Medium, Large and Makeup/Toiletry case
Funky, they're growing on me... definitly a hell of a deal (if they're in as good shape as they appear to be) for those of you who want to travel in avocado green vintage style! Haha ;)


1960 Singer 500a Sewing Machine Table - Mid-Century looking table design - make an offer


Kohler Cast Iron Claw Foot Bath Tub - $600.00 o.b.o.

Antique Wood Double Sink Bathroom Cabinet - $400.00
Looks gorgeous and rustic and, upon closer inspection, could possibly be a hell of an antique piece with holes cut and sinks and hardware already installed for only 400 beans!

Antique Wood Round Table with Marble Top - $225.00

Sofa and Chairs by Lars Bolander "showroom quality"


Antique Tiger Oak Wood Armoire/Wardrobe - $250.00
Absolutely GORGEOUS! Fantastic armoire, so much character and a great deal - except I just noticed the owner installed horizontal handles on either side of the center decorative carved handles YUCK! That calls for some tender lovin' care and wood filler! :)


Antique George III Style Cross Banded Mahogany Serpentine-fronted wood double chested drawers with matching tall chest and end tables - $1,200.00



Bloch Antique Wood Wheelchair - $300.00
Okay, I doubt that anyone is going to buy this, but it's pretty damn awesome so I thought I'd share it with ya!

1940's Antique Wood Bernhardt Dining Room Furniture Set - $1,800 now $900 o.b.o.
What an amazing deal for a Bernhardt (high quality furniture manufacturer) dining room set with table, buffet and china cabinet!




Antique Freestanding Red Metal Trellis Divider for the garden - $200.00
Outrageously priced but interesting to look at, I've never seen something like it before... could be attractive somewhere in the garden with vines creeping all over it.

Antique Carved Wood Coffee Table from India - $250.00
Wow, what a rustic beauty.... such a work of art!

1920's Antique Spanish Colonial Revival Carved Silver Jewelry Box - $45.00

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.

It has a glamorous feel to it, if you mix it with other styles it could look very eclectic bohemian glam!
