STROLLING DOWN MIAMI'S 20th CENTURY ROW

With all the store vacancies happening around Miami, it's wonderful to see a neighborhood revamping themselves to fill those vacancies. One such neighborhood is a stretch of vintage shops, between 7th and 9th Avenue on NE 125th Street, in North Miami. Here you can find nine Mid-Century dealers, within two blocks, called Miami's 20th Century Row.

• Marc Corbin | 305.899.2509 | 875 NE 125th Street
• Gary Rubinstein Antiques | 305.0891.7580 | 859-861 NE 125th Street | GaryRubinsteinAntiques.com

• Artistic Antiques | 350.751.5222 | 849 NE 125th Street | AntiquesAndModernDesign.1stDibs.com
• Thomas Brillet | 786.514.3934 | 817-819 NE 125th Street | ThomasBrillet.com

One shop I was particularly drawn to was STRIPE. Never-mind the name - STRIPE has a neutral, beachy palette dominating the shop set on cool Florida Terrazzo floors. It specializes in items made from natural materials, like driftwood lamps from the '50s or goat-skin-covered chairs and kidney-bean-shaped coffee tables by T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings.

• STRIPE Vintage Modern | 305.893.8085 |799 NE 125th Street | Stripe.1stDibs.com

• Art Modern | 954.529.9014 | 781 NE 125th Street
• Visiona | 305.926.2454 | 771 NE 125th Street | VisionaMidCenturyModern.1stDibs.com

• VERMILLION | 305.893.7800 | 765 NE 125th Street | Vermillion.1stDibs.com
• Gustavo Olivieri Antiques | 305.891.7575 | 750 NE 125th Street | GustavoOlivieriAntiques.com

Although some of the shops are by appointment only, it's a nice walk, parking nearby, and it's also adjacent to MOCA (the Museum Of Contemporary Art). The shops specialize in finds known locally as "Bal Harbour Baroque" - which can only be found IN Miami (and BTW: keep traveling EAST on 125th, and it will lead you to The Shops of Bal Harbour).

The Mid Century Dealers guide states: "Whether your tastes run in the blue-chip designs of Kagan, Springer, or the quirky - you'll understand why this incredible array of furniture, lighting, art, sculpture, and accessories has earned these two blocks of NE 125th Street the nickname of "20th Century Row". What a FAB FIND!!

Thanks for stopping by!

NORTH MIAMI VINTAGE

Open a door to wonderful treasures in a long forgotten neighborhood, but local vintage shop. Sometimes being thrifty and window shopping can go hand in hand. You need not buy something all the time. Sometimes, just get out and drive or walk around these long forgotten areas where you live for a fresh breath of (re) designing air... or treat yourself to a new gem to create a refreshed focal point...

LOVING THESE MIRRORED PIECES!!!

(sorry for the glare!! SO SUNNY in Florida!!)

Some shops are also available via the internet.

Unfortunately, not all shops were "open",

but they are located in North Miami at 125th and Biscayne.

I'll have to pop back by and hunt for more finds to share!

Thanks for visiting!
