Is inexpensive furniture getting easier to find, or is it just me?

I used to live in an old house in Rio Vista in east Ft Lauderdale. I miss my oak floors, the huge old shade trees, and the big front yard. In those days I was obsessive about getting antique furniture, the house had a New England feel, so Boca McMansion sea-foam green and peach didn't cut it.

My new 'digs' are downsized, and much more casual. It seems furniture shopping is not the chore it used to be. And not nearly as expensive! I love to mix and match, wood, wicker, painted pieces, etc.

Now that I have more furniture than I need, I'm constantly seeing pieces I wish I had a place for. What do you think of these Victoria Hagen $79 occasional tables from Target? Who would know? Use your imagination to accessorize...they would mix with any decor.

Have you seen any great pieces you'd like to share with us?
