Antiquing.

I had no idea Tampa was such a great resource for antique & other household finds. I was there last week for work and decided to stop by a few shops in between appointments. I told some friendly shop owners I was hunting for a coffee table and she said "You must go to Schiller's- two blocks over. It looks like junk, but it's not."

Schiller's was the ultimate "sale rush" for me. There was too much to look through and too little time. The owner and his wife run this as their hobby. He is a builder and she is a interior designer. Many Tampa designers consign their items in this shop as well. The prices were so affordable it was almost comical.

I bought some old barn wood and a metal base for the coffee table I've been searching for. I will post pictures as soon as it is built.

Here's a little map to give you an idea of the amount of stores available to shop through:

Happy Shopping!
