Squeeworthy: 1618 Something Different

Antique shopping: something Miami is lacking. I see people get all these amazing pieces off the street and from specialty stores, but I can never find a similar (& affordable) option down here. I wish I could tell you this post is about a new local discovery (but I’m all ears to any suggestions), but instead it is a new not-so-local one. To only add fuel to my lusty fire, my friend Mallory (check out her amazing decor/lifestyle blog here) recently posted about her trip to Winter Park, FL to visit 1618, a fabulous retro/vintage furniture store.

As if her own amazing find wasn’t enough to incite some serious envy, she told me to check out their Picasa album that they update regularly with new arrivals. And I did. And I instantly regretted it. In a record 5 seconds, I managed to fall deeply in love with this Paul McCobb Modular Table. Do you think they take orders by phone? And then ship them? For no additional cost?

Am I asking for too much?

    Isn’t it painful?? It was hard enough not to walk out of the store and come back with a moving truck just to cart more things home! I hope out of this post we can get some leads on some awesome local stores like this one. And thanks for the mention!

    Historic Downtown Melbourne is FULL of amazing antique stores. What I love about those is that there are so many different types of items you literally have to just spend a few hours to really see everything – and it makes the find that much more exciting! Uni got a vintage Playboy Club mug from the 60’s once and I got a 1928 copy of Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland. I’m itching to go back!
