I have been making my way through town and hitting up all the antique stores. I actually tried hitting this joint up Monday and found out the hard way they were closed. Checked their hours of operation. They are open today so I made my way in!
Parking is in the back and there's a few spots so that's nice! I made my way in and was blown away. This store, the set up, the vibe... it's all stunning. I adore the chandeliers that were lit right up front but the windows. I am a sucker for pretty, old chandeliers. I'm now looking forward to looking at all the beautiful pieces they have through out the venue.
Each room is different. There's a different theme for all of them. I made my way into the first room on the left. It's dark, romantic and eerie at the same time. There's a medical room with old medical bottles, a skull and books,,. My favorite part of the store was the kitchen area. Pretty plates, tea cups and old school metal tea pots hung. There were a set of pink depression cake plates that caught my eye, gorgeous! I wanted them but I currently don't have space for them. I'm heading back next week and if they are still there, I'm grabbing them!
I did purchase an old picture frame that I'm going to decorate my wall with. The gal that helped me was so sweet! We conversed about an old dresser I'm looking for. I hope that I find what I'm looking for here. There are so many beautiful pieces that would look perfect in any home.
1208 Antiques is the definition of the perfect antique store in the valley. It's reasonably priced, they aren't nickle and diming you. The set up is fantastic. The pieces here aren't old, grundgy or beat up looking. These are pieces that have been taken care of, have beauty and mystery to them. There are so many treasures here. I look forward to coming back and seeing what they have new in! Especially that dresser I'm looking for! read more
