Antique Bedroom Funiture
Antique bedroom furniture has become very accepted in the past few years and its desirability continues to grow. Some people think that finding such furniture can be difficult and pricey, however if you know how to pull the true strings and know where to look then you can have the upper hand on finding antique bedroom furniture. Now days there are unusual ways to find antique items by using technology, however there are also musty fashioned ways that can be unbiased as effective and sometimes more productive. eBay, Craig's List, local newspaper ads, yard sales, antique shops, as well as local estate auctions can all be wonderful tools in finding antique bedroom furniture.

Today's technology allows for individuals to simply type in a key phrase on the computer and secure what they are looking for. You do however have to be careful with such technology when you are looking for something highly collectible. If you use such technology to purchase items you may not receive what you were expecting and thought you had paid for. eBay however can be a useful tool because it allows you to return an item if it is not what was described in the sale information. Finding antique bedroom furniture on the internet can be useful, but can also be disappointing; therefore many antique dealers would recommend you exhaust the more aged approaches to finding what you need.

The best way to salvage great deals on antique bedroom furniture and antiques in general is to gawk your local newspaper's classified ads. This not only allows you to find items in your local neighborhood, but also can alert you to yard sales that may be taking place in the area. Another wonderful way to find antique bedroom furniture is to check out your local antique shops. Impartial about every single antique shop you find will have furniture and usually a wonderful collection of it. Antique shops usually also have an antique dealer that goes to different shows and sales to find items for the shop. An antique dealer can also be a wonderful tool in finding the antique bedroom furniture of your dreams. If you put a query in to your local antique dealers then one of them is sure to strike gold and find furniture for you. If you would however like to find the furniture on your own without the assistance of an antique dealer, making a few trips to your local estate/miscellaneous auctions can also help you accumulate the items you seek for sometimes cheaper prices. At auctions people usually bid on items and therefore you can set a limit for yourself and on a good day, you may get what you seek for less than half of your budget.

If you are smart about the ways you view for furniture you are sure to collect antique bedroom furniture, as well as other types of antiques without a problem. If you happen to have the time and energy to use all of the tactics together then you are definitely going to be able to add that special old fashioned touch to your house. Always be sure to check your antiques authenticity and make sure that it has not been damaged in anyway before you take the step of purchasing it.

Antique Clocks – Features to Look For

antiqueshunter — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 21:28:38 +0000

Antique Clocks

Of all of the different types of antiques that are out there for collectors to purchase, one of the most prevalent types of items is the clock. Antique clocks have been collected for centuries now, and this is because they can be so very exquisitely crafted. Some of the older Swiss clocks especially have details that are not really seen in other types of antique artworks. That is because they can be great mirrors of the time and society in which they were created, with some of the finest artists working on them.

Mantel and table clocks are some of the best known types of clock that collectors look for. These antique clocks are often family heirlooms, because they are available in such a wide range of different types. Built to be placed as a centerpiece on the mantel over a fireplace, they are often carved in a way that is meant to draw attention. With a deep, sonorous bell or chime, this is a fancy way to tell time that can be also worth quite a bit of money, depending on the era in which it was created. Grandfather clocks are also in this same vein, and are highly sought after by those who follow antique collecting.

Other types of antique clocks are commonly seen in trade shows, antique fairs and for sale online. These could include carriage clocks or electrical clocks. Some of the earliest types of alarm clocks can be quite exciting to use to this day, and make a good addition to any nightstand if you are running a bed and breakfast or simply want to wake up in a unique way yourself. For a subtle yet interesting way to spice up a room, the clock should not be overlooked.

Art deco antique clocks are one of the most prized types that you could possibly find. These are available in the classic style of the 1920’s and 1930’s, and could be a great addition to other vintage or antique decorations within the home. Pocket watches could be a lovely gift that can be passed down to other family members or loved ones, and these clocks are well worth a good shine after you purchase them. Taking care of your clocks is just as important as finding the right style to purchase. This can be helped with the expert eye of a clock repair service, which will help identify and take care of your new antique purchases.

How to Become an Antique Dealer

antiqueshunter — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 05:39:34 +0000

This is a highly specialized but fascinating business. Your success depends in tremendous part on your ability to derive valuable goods, preferably of antique value, at low prices and resell them for a substantial profit. It's extremely enjoyable if you enjoy browsing through secondhand shops, estate sales, attics, effect sales and auctions. Look hard enough and you can come upon property that is of hidden antique value. This happens frequently at estate auctions where the entire contents of a home are being sold at one time. Many dealers have discovered first-edition books, furniture that looks useless yet may be of genuine antique value, as well as valuable dishes and dinnerware.

You might have to purchase a dozen books to find one that is a legitimate first edition, but if you do come by one it is well worth the effort. If you are not already an antique buff you must educate yourself to the values of antiques. There is a reference book available at most libraries that is updated annually and gives going prices for goods of certain periods. You won't come across great bargains every day, but if you specialize in a particular type of antique, such as furniture or tapestries or china or rare books, you can soon become an expert in this field.

You do not need an office or retail shop to carry on your business. It is advisable to have a space in your home, preferably a garage or basement room, where you can safely store articles.

To learn what sells, utilize afternoons visiting antique shops and secondhand stores. Talk to the owners, if possible, and find out what kinds of things move best. You may be surprised to find that an weak kerosene lamp, or an old carpet, tarnished candlesticks, a broken rocking chair - all or any of these items - may be an invaluable antique underneath the dust.

To sell your items, advertise directly in the classified section of the newspaper. List specifically the kinds of things you have for sale. Antique dealers could be among your most valued customers. They know bargains when they see them, and even if they have to pay more for the item than you did, they know someone else may want a particular article and will be willing to pay for it.

Consider holding a garage sale at your home when you have acquired enough goods to pique the public's interest. You do not have to spend any additional cash except for your classified advertisement. Once your business grows, you may find it desirable to set up a retail store. In addition, solicit interior decorators and announce that you are constantly acquiring different kinds of goods that might interest their clients.

Your potential profit in this field is really without limit. You can win items for as little as $1.00, $5.00, on up to hundreds of dollars, that you can resell for five and ten times or more than what you paid. People do not demand antiques to be priced as one would tag conventional retail goods. An antique by definition is something rare, and people expect to pay high sums for antiques of genuine value.

If you are not sure of the value of distinct articles you acquire, there are professional appraisers who can date items and confirm their actual value.

Appraisers charge a fee based on the value of the item, but their appraisals are considered gospel. Insurance companies use these official appraisals when they are determining the value of special property. Therefore you can be certain that an appraisal by a professional is the legitimate "value" of the article you own.

Tips for Getting the Best Prices for Your Antiques and Collectibles

antiqueshunter — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 05:33:22 +0000

There's still snow in the yard, but my crocus and tulips are beginning to poke up through the ground, letting me know that spring is finally on its design! As folks initiate their spring cleaning, lots of great vintage toys, books, kitchen accessories, knick knacks, pottery, home decor, furniture, and more will find their way into spring clean-up piles or be offered at rummage sales and thrift shops. This is the best time of year for those of us who like to make a little money selling antique and vintage collectible items. A lot of this stuff can be picked up for a song (or free, if you don't object to rummaging through trash piles and dumpsters) and sold at a profit.

Sometimes you can pick up vintage collectibles or antiques for a cheap price at estate auctions, but I've found that there are often collectors explain who will bid the item up to a point where, if you top their price, you've blown your potential profit. However, attending estate auctions is an excellent way to learn what is in demand and what people are willing to pay for it to add to their own collection. There have been a few times I've found treasures in the bottom of a box lot (a box of miscellania that may or not be related items) and made a shipshape profit.

There are a lot of guide books out there that give values on vintage and collectible items, but personally I've found the best way to region a price is to do some research on eBay or other online auction sites, and see what is selling and for how much. The mark guide may tell you that your vintage purple and pink whoopdeedoo is worth $500, which is great, but the trick is finding someone who wants to pay that much for it. Online auction sites give you a more realistic thought of what you may be able to sell that whoopdeedoo for, and how many people are interested in buying such a thing.

You may have amassed your own collection of antique or vintage items, or inherited a collection, that you are ready to part with. If you have a large collection, consider hiring an appraiser to do a walk-through and tell you if what you have is worth anything. This is not the same as having the items appraised for value, but at least you will know if it will be worth the effort to sell your collectibles.

The appraiser can give you advice about which of your collectibles or antiques are suitable for an auction house, and what should go into a rummage sale or other sales venue. If the appraiser indicates that you have some high-value antiques or collectibles, have them properly appraised for value and keep the narrate in a safe place with other important documents.

A few notes about appraisers: First, be sure the appraiser is accredited by a national appraisal association. Next, NEVER sell an item to an appraiser who has offered to buy it from you if he has personally appraised the item himself, or charges you a fee based on the item's value. You're setting yourself up to procure taken.

Auction Options (say that three times fast!)

High-end auction houses, either regional or national, are the best venue for selling an antique or collectible that has a high value. These auctions houses will get the best sign for you, but will charge a fee that is a percentage of the selling designate. You may also have to pay fees for cataloguing, insurance, or other services. Found out approximately what it will cost you to sell this item before you make the commitment.

Local auction houses draw smaller crowds and lower bids than regional or national houses, but can be a more convenient venue for collectibles and antiques of moderate value. Usually, only items of a similar nature are included in the auction. These auctions may be catalogued and/or posted online, drawing bidders from outside the local area. Again, find out what fees you can expect to pay.

Community auctions may be held weekly and include all different types of items, collectible, antique, secondhand, and otherwise. These auctions are a splendid venue for selling vintage collectibles and antiques of lesser value.

Online auctions reach millions of potential bidders, and you might be surprised how much you can salvage for a collectible item! As I suggested before, research how much of a demand there is for your particular collectible item and how much this type of collectible has sold for in the past. There's no guarantee you'll get comparable bids but it's a good indicator. If there are many of the same item currently up for lisp, it might be worth waiting to list your auction when there isn't a glut of them available. If you don't want to take a chance on getting less than you want, you can set a reserve or buy-it-now price. For some folks, part of the fun of participating in an auction involves the challenge of winning and they will sometimes pay an extravagant amount for the privilege. By setting a predetermined tag, you might actually lose money! It's partly luck, and partly a judgement call that comes from experience.

Other selling options:

Rummage sales and flea markets are the best way to sell vintage items with low values. Ticket your collectibles as your research indicates, but be willing to haggle on the price later in the day on items that haven't sold.

Antique shops. Most will either buy the item from you and re-sell it, or sell on consignment. If you sell directly to the shop, don't expect them to pay you what it's worth. If they sell on consignment, derive an agreement in writing that protects your ownership of the collectible or antique.

Antique malls. If you have a sizeable collection, consider renting a space in an antique mall. Most antique malls will handle the selling for you, and charge either a commission or monthly rental fee, or both. All you need to do is mark prices on your items and set up your individual display in the space they provide you. You may have to furnish your own display cases, tables, or shelves.

Consignment shops will sell items for you, but usually charge a high percentage of the selling mark, and they may reduce the designate if your item doesn't sell in a reasonable amount of time. Get an agreement in writing that protects your ownership and states how soon after the sale you will be paid.

It doesn't matter what type of vintage collectible you have, there are people out there who pick up it. Do an online search for "(type of item) collectors" and you will surely find resources for information about your collectibles, for selling your collectibles, and people who are willing to consume them. Unbiased assume care to do some research to estimate the value of your vintage collectible so you don't sell it for a pittance, only to see it featured on the Antiques Roadshow and find out it was worth a fortune!

Romantic Recycled Valentines Day Gifts for the Environmental Activist in Your Life

antiqueshunter — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 05:32:11 +0000

Is your Valentine interested in the unique, the rare, and the environmentally marvelous? Make a big impact on his or her Valentine's Day by getting something truly special. Try some of these novel recycled Valentine's Day gifts.

Jewelry

You can acquire the recycled and environmentally edifying approach when it comes to jewelry. Instead of buying your jewelry new, try shopping for dilapidated jewelry. Buying new means putting your money toward organizations which fund strip mining and unethical practices such as slave labor. Instead, choose jewelry that has been loved before. Ebay and pawn shops are great places to buy used jewelry. Antique jewelry comes with the added value of having quite a history unhurried it.

If you just cannot bear to wear something that has already had more than one owner, you can still bewitch recycled jewelry. Some jewelers design their jewelry from old discarded pieces and from scrap gold and older loose gemstones. Leber Jewler, Inc. carries a line of Earthwise Jewelry that is made from reclaimed materials. Brilliant Earth carries an extensive line of conflict-free diamond jewelry. GreenKarat also produces jewelry that is made from recycled gold and jewels.

Don't forget about costume jewelry. There are many artisans who beget beautiful handmade jewelry from recycled and natural materials. Etsy.com is a great place to shop for handmade jewelry, just do a search on "recycled jewelry" and you will find a great list of links.

Flowers

How about bringing home a nice bouquet of organically grown flowers in a gorgeous vase made from recycled glass or other recycled materials? A variety of vases can be made from reclaimed and reused materials:

Recycled Vase From Old Tires

Vase From Recycled Bottle and Bed Springs

Recycled Glass Balloon Vase

Fire & Light Aurora Vase

Recycled Metal Twig Vase

Recycled Candle Holders

Candles can be considered extremely romantic and intimate. Make your Valentine's Day special by lighting the dinner table with beeswax or soy wax candles set in lovely handmade recycled candle holders.

Recycled Tea Lite Holder Made From Bicycle Parts
Recycled Glass Votive
Recycled Metal Candle Holder

Chocolates and Candy

Almost everyone loves candy and chocolates. Instead of just a box of chocolates, why not package them in a great recycled box that can be reused? Secret Storage Books recycles old books by cutting out the center of the actual pages in the books and making them into secret storage boxes. Acquire them with fair trade organic bonbons for your sweetheart. Once all of the chocolate is eaten, the book can be used as a secret hiding place to store spare keys, jewelry, money, or other items on a bookshelf.

Cuff Links

Cuff links are back in style. There are a number of companies that provide gorgeous heirloom-quality handmade cufflinks from recycled materials such as typewriter keys, and even computer parts. Check out some of the recycled cuff links below.

The Best Charitable Thrift Stores in New Smyrna Beach, Florida

antiqueshunter — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 05:30:45 +0000

Not all thrift stores are alike. Some are charitable. Some are business ventures, run as mom-and-pop type shops. But aside from wanting your money to go to a worthy cause, shopping in a charity-based thrift store often results in better finds; for professional antique dealers, amateur collectors, decorators or dreary lovers of unique items from bygone eras. More items are donated to charity-based shops, hence a better variety. In New Smyrna Beach, Florida, there are wonderful thrift stores that are associated with some worthy causes. I combined the best six in this write-up, based on availability of unique merchandise, pricing, location, charity and overall charm. Here are the best thrift stores that Novel Smyrna Beach has to offer.

Habitat For Humanity Thrift Shop
(386) 428-5018
722 South Dixie Fwy (U.S.-1) N.S.B. FL 32168

Located across from the New Smyrna Beach library on U.S.-1, the Habitat for Humanity builds homes for families in financial need. This is a popular cause and thrift store in general, with the vast majority of donated merchandise inside a store. There is also a bargain area outside, inaugurate early mornings during the week till twelve pm, and on Saturday till early afternoon. Sometimes the outside section has broken-down stock from inside at bargain prices. There are both paid employees and volunteers. Inside prices tend to be higher, but there is a wonderful selection of goods at affordable prices, ranging from antiques, collectibles, designer clothes, furniture, decorative items and jewelry. Lot's of vintage pins; prices range from three dollars and up. Good selection of glassware, paintings of all mediums, bed ware, toys, clothing, nick-knacks, and more. I have found some fantastic paintings in here, and quality retro costume jewelry.

The Pink Door Boutique Hospital Auxiliary
(386) 427-2100
115 Live Oak Street N.S.B. FL 32168

This is a favorite of the local community in downtown N.S.B. Located off Canal Street, on Live Oak Street, also down the block from Bert Fish Hospital. The hospital owns this building, and the people are volunteers. All funds go into buying new equipment for the hospital, and the boutique often holds jewelry sales in the lobby of the hospital as well. There are some first-rate finds at affordable prices, including Depression- era glass, vintage purses, paintings, jewelry and vinyl records. I have found vintage Gucci purses, new oil paintings, and quality retro jewelry.

First House Thrift Boutique
(386) 478-0060
309 Palmetto St. N.S.B. FL 32168

Down the road from Bert Fish Hospital, heading to Canal Street. This is volunteer as well, associated with First United Methodist Church. A unique setting, this thrift store is situated in a vintage Cracker house. Blooming inside, with some worthy finds that include glassware, clothes, jewelry, nick-knacks, books, toys. I have found some quality vintage leather Coach purses here.

CorMeth Boutique
(386) 427-1115
Corner of Flagler and South Peninsula Avenue, Beach-side N.S.B. FL 32169

This thrift store is located on beach-side, factual off Flagler Avenue, over the North Causeway Bridge. A quaint shop, affiliated with the neighboring Methodist Church. Volunteers are often the church members. Friendly atmosphere with some engaging items as well. Donated items include oil paintings, retro jewelry, purses, clothes, glassware, decorative items, appliances, books, electronics and more. There is a men's share and woman's portion for clothes. I have found vintage Taxco Mexican silver, lamps and paintings.

Drug Free Youth Thrift Store
(386) 423-7911
1435 S Dixie Fwy (U.S.-1) N.S.B. FL 32168

Located on U.S.-1 in the movie theater parking lot, is a fabulous store, with good finds. Volunteers as well. The thrift store benefits the drug free youth program for youths. Items are immense, ranging from mature lamps, appliances, lot's of clothing, nick-knacks, vinyl records, gently broken-down and vintage books, paintings, art work, decorative items, traditional toys, antiques, collectibles, furniture, garden items and jewelry. Some items are a dinky overpriced, but in general there can be some fantastic finds at affordable prices as well. I have found designer purses, which are only two dollars each, good oil paintings for under ten dollars, vintage books for two dollars each, and more.

Goodwill Industries, Edgewater Location
(386) 428-2939
2984 S. Ridgewood Avenue. 32141

The Goodwill Industries benefit the local neighborhood by providing jobs. They are one of the most widely known of thrift stores throughout America, and are most popular with collectors of all kinds. There is one located in Edgewater (four miles from N.S.B.), which is further down past the Drug Free Youth Thrift Store, heading south on U.S.-1. This Goodwill location is a bargain hunter's dream! I have found contemporary modern art oil paintings, quality prints, quality jewelry; including vintage costume, gold and silver, purses, pottery, cookie jars, vintage glassware, dishes and more. One can find just about everything here. Located in the Publix and Blockbuster parking lot, before the town of Oak Hill.

Fun, Free Things to Do in London, England, Any Time of Year

antiqueshunter — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 05:26:12 +0000

Everyone knows there are free concerts and plays commence to the public during the summer months in London, England, but did you realize there are many fun free activities all year round? Here are seven completely free things to do in London that I found particularly intriguing or have done myself and enjoyed, regardless of time of year. These are my favorites, even though there are many other excellent tried and true ideas for free fun in London, such as strolling through Hyde Park, people-watching at Trafalgar Square, or window-shopping on Oxford Street.

For each fun free activity in London, I provide enough detail to get you started, although double-checking routes, times and days of operation is always wise before you go. I assume that you will be getting around the city primarily via the London Underground. Where available, I give a website address so you can access further details and up to date information.

Walk across the Millennium Bridge (and back)

This 100 percent pedestrian bridge across the Thames had some engineering difficulties when first constructed (it swayed too noteworthy), but is now fully operational. It links the financial part of London near St. Paul's Cathedral to the Southbank at the Tate Recent and near Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. The views from the bridge are stellar and the modern steel bridge itself is called Norman Foster's "Blade of Light."

Underground: Mansion House (Blackfriars is closed until slow 2011)

Feel tiny by walking underneath a gigantic table at the Tate Modern.

Absolutely the best way to approach the Tate Current is from the Millennium Bridge, which leads directly to the former Bankside Power Dwelling converted to a modern art museum in 2000. The note I found most memorable was American artist Robert Therrien's oversized (2.5 times the usual) dining table and chairs, rendered in expresso wood with every detail. The whole point of the installation is to invent a point about scale as art and it works! I will warn you that the temptation to climb up onto one of the chairs is very strong. Even though this is one of the most well-liked art galleries in the world, admission is free to the permanent exhibits. Don't miss the turbine hall where exhibitions on a even grander scale are displayed.

Open year-round 7 days per week except December 24-26

Watch British criminal justice in action at the Old Bailey.

Did you always wonder if English barristers and judges really wear white wigs with long curls in court even now? You can obtain an respond to this seek information from and many others by observing criminal court proceedings at the Old Bailey, London's Central Criminal Court. Although the current building dates to 1907 (with a number of signicant renovations since), there has been a courthouse on the same position since Medieval times. The site is at the intersection of Old Bailey Road and Newgate Street, only a few hundred yards from St. Paul's Cathedral.

Visitor galleries are generally open to the public 10:00 am through 4:00 pm Monday through Friday. However, no cell phones, cameras, food, or bags are permitted in the building and no storage for these items is provided.

Underground: St. Pauls

Join the studio audience for a BBC television or radio note.

Although there is a charge for the BBC studio tour, you can become part of a studio audience for a BBC show without any cost. I have even heard rumors that certain out-of-work Britons are being hired to sit in studio audiences for some talk shows. I would not bank on that, but you can regain free tickets if you view ahead. Venues vary and some are outside London. While you are at it, you could apply to appear on any number of shows from Antiques Roadshow to Young, Dumb, and Living Off Mum!

Browse at Harrods Food Halls, which stock everything from fresh meat and invent to the most expensive luxury food gifts.

I still remember my first visit to London in 1980 when I saw huge cuts of meat hanging from the ceiling in the Food Hall. The range of foods available is staggering. This is definitely worth a visit and browsing is free. The remainder of this elegant department store is also available for browsing. Among the products available for purchase: gold bullion. The store's "guidelines for visitors" include the following admonition:

"Ensure all clothing is super and presentable and that shoes are worn whilst in the store." That sounds reasonable.

The store is located at 87-135 Brompton Road, Knightsbridge. Hours are Monday through Saturday 10 am until 8 pm, noon to 6 pm on Sunday. The store is open on Bank Holidays.

Underground: Knightsbridge, South Kensington

Take in a free lunchtime concert at the Church of St Martin-in-the-Fields.

This storied Anglican Church has a rich musical heritage, including hosting Handel and possibly Mozart as visiting organists in the 18^th century. Professional caliber classical concerts at lunchtime feature pianists, string quartets, guitarists, and other soloists, choral and chamber groups.

St Martin-in-the-Fields is at the northeast corner of Trafalgar Square. Doors open at 12.30 pm for a 1:00 pm initiate. Lunchtime concerts normally take place on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. No tickets are required.

Underground: Charing Cross, Leicester Square, Embankment.

Look for Platform 9 ¾ at King's Cross Rail Station.

This is a must activity for any Harry Potter fan. If you collect it, you'll have a wonderful photo opportunity. In the Potter books and films, the Hogwarts students and their families travel right through a brick wall to reach Platform 9 ¾. If you are a Muggle, as I am, you may find that somewhat challenging. While you are there, enjoy the bustle of travelers going every which way at this major urban rail station in the heart of London.

Underground: King's Cross/Pancras

These seven ideas are but the tip of the iceberg--some of my favorites and perhaps some ideas you had not expected. None are limited to a particular time of year. At all times, the entire city is jam-packed with opportunities to find something, learn something, experience something, connect with British history and culture, and just have a wonderful time without spending a single pence. If you have particular favorites among free activities in London, I hope you will allotment them as comments on this article.

Finally, I highly recommend the book listed below as one of my sources: 1000 Things to do in London for Under 10 GBP, published by TimeOut Guides, which makes moving reading even if you have time to do only a few of the activities listed. The Old Bailey visit and BBC audience ideas came from this book; the others came from my own experiences in London.

Georgian Mahogany Chair

Has the overall stare of your home turned from palace to dog house as the years have ticked on. Maybe, your home has not lost its luster but instead has become overwhelmed with furniture overcrowding in just about every room in the house. The solutions to down scaling your furniture and taking back the areas of your home that has been lost to oversize furniture pieces, piece suits and a gamut of wardrobes, dresser, chairs, and dining room table is a matter of multitasking your furniture.

A great fad which is not entirely new but is making a come back is multipurpose furniture. In the old days, multipurpose furniture was something out of the war torn revolution. Drab, boring and lacking in curb appeal in every way. However, that all changed once the 21st century chimed in. The fantastic stylish new line of multipurpose furniture could possibly be the lifesaver to tired décor across the nation. The endless combinations of multipurpose furniture is enough to make you run to your local furniture outlet pronto.

For space challenged rooms or homes there are multipurpose furniture options to fit every budget and style. The great thing about multipurpose furniture is that you can step out of the box literally when it comes to choosing the best fit for your home and lifestyle. Those living in a minuscule apartment may want to retract special notes as multipurpose furniture is the best solution when it comes to furnishing your home or apartment with the essentials while avoiding overcrowding the space at the same time.

From sofas that double as beds to desks that double as dining tables the combinations are superb. Wooden or plastic stair case leading up to a platform living space or raised bed areas are also ideal as bookcases. The most ingenious appears to be the latest furniture gadgetry in the world of home furnishing. The all in one sofa, dining room and two chairs, and bed furniture unit which is so ideal for those who are studying at college or living in a shoe box size apartment.

Imagine a padded chair compact enough to fit in the serve seat of your car unfolding into a Japanese style floor mat for overnight guests. This unusual unit allow the base of the chair once the padding is capture to form the floor mat to be used as a makeshift side table. Another multipurpose furniture unit is the nifty padded large size squares that when joined together form the perfect two or three fraction sofa.

Starting a Fleamarket Booth

antiqueshunter — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 05:21:55 +0000

With bargain shoppers in hot pursuit of rock bottom prices and people looking to beget money selling stale items—flea markets remain a strong market . One of the best ways to perform some extra cash is to get rid of unwanted items in a flea market booth. With this type of shrimp business there is no limit on what to sell or how much. The versatility and low overhead is likely to generate a substantial profit.

Organizing and setting up a flea market booth can be moderately challenging--especially for beginners. The first step is determining what items will be the best sellers at a flea market. Anything that is vintage from the 1940's or 1950's are sought after flea market items. This includes toys, kitchen serving sets, kitchen cookware and bakeware, ceramics, clothing and linens. Many people also like to collect old dolls and accessories. Antique guns and related advertising are also popular. Furniture and venerable photographs are also sought after collectables. Books and old magazines and newspapers are also top sellers. Visiting as many estate and community auctions as possible will help you find one of a kind items at rock bottom prices. Thrift stores, garage sales and online auction sites like shopgoodwill.com are also good locations to hunt for inexpensive treasures.

Gather together the merchandise you have chose to sell at the flea market. Some flea market vendors also bring along homemade seasonal crafts and unique or dried flowers that they sell. Homemade baked goods that include fruit bread, all natural bread, cookies, cakes and candies are also gobbled up by hungry guests. Make sure you mark every item with a designate tag so there is no guessing. Be prepared for customers to haggle or bargain for lower prices. This is fragment of the flea market scene and you will need to use better judgment as to what items you are willing to combine or sell for less. Refer to kovels.com or other online appraisal sites to get a general fair market value of the merchandise being put up for sale.

Arrive to the flea market area before buyers do to allow for proper place up and booth preparation. Set up the tables and apply a tablecloth if desired. If using crates, stack up along the back and sides of the tables. Set smaller or specialty items on the crates. Keep larger items in the back and breakables toward the middle. Try to group similar items together if selling a multitude of items. Set up glass explain cases for knives, sharp items or delicate breakables. Large items such as furniture can be placed around the perimiter of the table inside the booth space.

Sell the items by exchanging the merchandise for cash. Reply inquiries and questions about items as accurately as possible. Always be open to price negotiations but don't be afraid to turn down a low offer due to the worthiness of a piece.

Track all sales by stating how considerable the item was initially bought for then sold for. Record gas prices, hours spent at the flea market and fees to have the table space. You can employ these numbers for tax purposes and write-offs at the end of the year.
