Saturday morning at 7:16am I was 34th in line for my very first estate sale. Very exciting. As I waited in line I found myself engaged in a very interesting conversation with three 75+ year-old ladies who were discussing the bathroom’s lovely toilet seat. They went on and on about this commode so I decided I had to sneak in to check it out. I told the estate manager I needed to use the bathroom (slight fib) and she escorted me to powder room. Yep, there it was, a one of a kind cream colored, pearlized toilet seat. I returned to my place in line and sqwaked with my new friends over the very unique fixture.
When the clock struck 8am we rushed in, elbows flailing, and grabbed what we could. Here’s what I picked up. I know it’s a strong departure from my so called “style” but I got big plans for these babies!
Hey there! I’m Michelle; I’m an Passionate DIY’er and in constant pursuit of how to bring beauty to my house full of men (3 boys + 1 hubby). Stick around and see what I’ve got up my hard-working sleaves!
You’ll have to post what you do with all this. You are so creative! When we finally buy a home I’ll have to pay you to come decorate my place!
So Michelle, where is the cream colored, pearlized, one of a kind toilet seat? Ya missed out on that one. Were you too far back in line to get that too?
Good luck with your new treasures…
Can’t wait to see what you do with them. I’m sure they’ll turn out looking fabulous.
Yes, I can’t wait to see it!! When we lived in Utah there were always great Estate sales with awesome finds. Was this in the area or far away?
hey michelle. hope you don’t mind my lurking! i love estate/garage sale-ing…can i go next time? i need some fresh ideas. and i can’t wait to see what you do with your treasures.
Those are some great finds. I really love the bookshelf. I’ve been wanting one like that for my boys’ room.
We are still pretty shocked about the hole things, but excited also. That is where he will be when he is in Az. Fort-how ever you spell it. How close is that to you guys?
I’m intrigued.
And I love all the photos on your sidebar!
