It’s been ages since we took an antiquing/thrifting trip. I’ve gotten several emails/comments asking for another trip, so let’s go! Let’s start with A Classy Flea, one of my fave haunts for great deals. (Click any photo to enlarge, click the back arrow to return to the post.)
Just outside the front door I saw a fun, beachy sign. I could so do with a beach trip about right now. How about you?
Not using your old armoire for a TV now? Remove the doors and add shelving to turn it into a pretty display cabinet.
Nice, big table for the dining room…
Another great display cabinet: $179
These armoires are Baker…you don’t get much better than Baker.
I remember when armoires like this sold for several thousand $. These were only $395 each! Crazy good pricing!
I’m always drawn to these cute wicker planters. They are great for sunrooms. $85
An upholstered bench…be great for a front porch. $225
This book was filled with killer recipes from Bed & Breakfast Inns across the country.
This dropleaf table was so much prettier in person…photo doesn’t do it justice. It would be fabulous as a “sofa desk” behind a large sofa. I can see it with a lamp and covered with family photos. When both sides (dropleaf) are raised, the table becomes a full size dining table. It was in great condition and I couldn’t believe it was only $88. It was hard for me to pass it up but unfortunately I have no place to use a table this size. This would also be a great piece for a library that doubles as a dining room for special occasions/dinners.
Another pretty display cabinet:
Wicker coffee table…great for a porch or sunroom. $49
This cabinet was fascinating in its design.
Come a bit closer and check it out.
The front was designed with a 3-D appearance. The “books” actually appear to be sticking out of the front. It was $295.
This piece was already sold so no price tag.
Queen size bed: $170. It is beautiful, as is, but I think it would be great painted, too. Would you paint it or leave it as is? If you painted it, what color would you choose?
Love these swan vases. $12.50 for the set.
This chest was a pretty gray color…looks lighter in the photo. $95.
The top was painted with a fun stripe design.
Love the beachy vibe of this blue and white stripe, slip-covered chair. It would be fabulous in a room with a nautical design. $129
Another pretty bed complete with footboard. Just $99
White wicker chairs: $59 each. Vintage French Provencial chest was $99.
Blue and white china: $6.50 per plate
Great bird cage…$39.95 The blue table was $349.
A pretty china cabinet…sorry, didn’t get the price.
Bench made from a bed head board: $99
Notice the rope handles on this piece. I could see some heavy, white nautical-rope handles if this was in a beach house: $149
Cute container! $12
Table and 4 chairs…would look great painted, too. $299 for table and chairs.
Earlier this spring I stopped by the newly opened Woodstock Market. Come along and check it out!
Gorgeous old mirror…$399
Another beautiful mirror: $165
This reminds me of the chandeliers I’ve seen in Ballard Designs. Didn’t see a price.
Cool design for a floor lamp. Is the base like a surveyor’s stand/tripod?
An idea for a door…turn it into a hall tree complete with a bench. $349
Unique lamps shades…clock was $58.
Lots of Blue Willow…
Bunny tassel: $32
Pretty chandelier!
Love this desk…great for a study. $820
Beautiful!
Mahogany sideboard…
Great craft idea…a wreath made with pages from a book.
Got some extra books laying around the house just waiting to be donated? Turn them into a lamp! I’d love this for a home library or study.
Beautiful cast iron and brass bed from the late 1800’s. $595
Lovely old dresser mirror. $395
This booth had lots of cute doggy pillows, prints and doggy accessories.
If the top rod on this could be removed and replaced with a rod that’s removable, this would make a great craft/wrapping paper organizer.
This booth had the Rachel Ashwell look…shabby chic. Do you see the Santos off to the right?
Great Santos! Love the wings and articulating arms. $185
Stemware.
This made me smile…a unique way to display a chandelier.
Memory Keeper/Picture Board, made from an old window. $65
There were definitely some great deals on this trip. Did you see something you wouldn’t have wanted to leave behind?
Happy antiquing and thrifting!
Now I know why they went out of business, Susan. Their prices were so cheap!
