While the cat’s away, the mice will buy stuff.

antique garden urn 11

Let’s end the year with some rusty auction fanciness!

Scored these antique urns at auction! Brought them inside to decorate our Victorian home for Christmas… take a holiday tour and see all my decorating ideas!

It’s been a while since something was too big for the stairwell and had to go up to the roof… *VIDEO*

** YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE VIDEO** I’m decorating our old Victorian house via CRAIGSLIST… my latest find was too large to fit up our old-house stairwell, so my husband built a RAMP TO THE ROOF and we put it through the bedroom window.

The Auction Olympics.

My latest auction finds… I love giant, fancy, old junk, and auctions are a great source for inexpensive furniture and decor!

Budget for hoarding.

My theory of appropriate auction behavior: BUY ALL OF THE THINGS.
