Ships

Ed and I stumbled upon this trio of ship paintings at the Antique Trove. We thought they were going to be expensive - most things there are a bit pricey - but they were reasonable!

We had them hanging above our TV at our old apartment, but now that we're at a new place, we decided to switch it up and hang them above the couch this time. (photos taken at our old place)

The larger piece is a little damaged but we don't mind - they're still awesome!

We get a lot of small hanging decorations, but these are nice big pieces that really pull the room together!

Happy Thrifting!

Estate Sale One 5/4/13

Usually, if we don't have any morning/afternoon weekend plans, I check out estatesales.net to see if there will be any estate sales near us. If there are any in our town/the neighboring town/the Sacramento area, I'll go ahead and plug the addresses into Google. We won't go all the way to Sacramento unless there are at least 3 to check out there - otherwise we'll just stick to our town. In any case, I find out a good plan (put them into the correct order so we aren't backtracking), jot them down on a post-it, and we're set!

This Saturday, we had 5 on our list. The first one had already started Thursday, so there really wasn't much left other than large furniture. We ended up finding a few things at the second one:

 

1. My purchase - a clog. It was hanging up on the wall by a nail sticking out of the heel, which is exactly what I plan on doing with it.

2. Ed's purchase - this neat painting with an intricate frame.

3. Ed's purchase - a framed copy of the Declaration of Independence. Classy.

I will continue with the rest of our weekend finds in another post (or posts).

Happy Thrifting!
