This gorgeous mid century Broyhill Premier credenza is the most pristine piece I’ve ever bought on Craigslist – not only is it in flawless condition, but it even has an original sticker on the side from the manufacturer!
I always expect some flaws, scratches, and wear and tear when I head out to pick things up, so finding something that looks like it was just produced yesterday was quite a treat. No restoring/refinishing required!
Isn’t she a beauty?
I just love the Moroccan-style overlays, burl details, and brass hardware!
Here’s a Broyhill Premier tag I found inside one of the drawers… (Side note: I always love when I do find vintage ephemera hidden in a drawer or under a cushion – it’s like a fun bonus prize! )
I took these photos in the garage where I set up a little photography area… It’s still a work in progress, but I am loving the dark grey wall as a backdrop with my $25 thrift store rug!
I hope you all have a great weekend ahead of you! I’m heading out this morning for another Craigslist find… Fingers crossed it all works out!

June 26, 2015 at 8:55 pmUm… this piece needs to find its way into my home. Stat! It would be beautiful in the dining room that doesn’t exist but will exist one day that I’ve dreamed up!

June 26, 2015 at 10:08 pmWe definitely tossed around the idea of swapping it out for the sideboard in our living room so we could keep it!
