estate sale stalking.

December 18, 2009 by Michelle Hinckley |

My favorite Thursday morning ritual of checking out the new postings for the weekend estate sales left me brimming with envy. Sadly, with my garage is stuffed with four chairs, a dresser and a coffee table so I’ve banned myself from taking in anymore furniture (rather my husband has put the nix on anymore furniture until he can bring his car back in the garage). I can still stalk and dream.

Just love this frame. So many possibilities…spray the frame, take out the picture, make a chalk or jewelry board. It is even lovely enough to leave it as is – now that’s a new concept.

The lines on the sofa are gorgeous. Usually old furniture screams “RE-UPHOLSTER ME!” but this baby is actually quite lovely as is.

I first passed up this table but I keep coming back to it. Equestrian is all the rage these days. I think it would look dynamite in a super sophisticated space. It would be that one eclectic piece that just makes the space great because it’s unpredictable.
Love these dining chairs! Paint and re-upholster please.
How about that sideboard hiding in the back? Great, right?!

Oh, that French chair in the corner! I’ve been wanting to get my hands on one of these for a while. I’m also really drawn to the gold ottoman.

Check out sale details here.

Someone is going to make some fabulous scores this weekend. Wish it were me!

    I do the same thing:stalk estate sales, online. Sometimes I even save photos of things, just because.

    I really like that dining set, a lot!
