Estate sales are usually a sign that someone has passed away, and the family or other party has decided to sell everything inside the house. So if you ever stumble upon one, you shouldn’t miss out on this opportunity.

Because the majority of estate sales are held in the homes of people that are older, it means that you have a really high chance of finding some excellent antiques and other valuable pieces.

The best thing to do is familiarize yourself with certain styles of company’s like Wedgwood and look underneath items to see if they have stamps that mark them as China or have the label of the company.

The other great thing about an estate sale is that usually lasts longer than a garage sale, and it’s also mostly inside a home which makes the perusing a lot more comfortable, especially in summer.

Also, since everything, including furniture, is where it’s meant to be, you can get a much better idea of how everything will look in your own home.

Happy weekend from a new house we designed in the Hudson Valley with interior decoration by @thomasjayne. The gun room features a new, built-in (locked) cabinet designed with Thomas that appears to be an antique. The picture rail caps board-clad walls that are handy for attaching pegs, hooks and the hardware of country life. Thomas’ brilliant green color is one that was popular in the nineteenth century for utility rooms. | photo: @pieterestersohnphoto #moderntraditional #mudroom #countrylife #countryhouse #newclassic #antiques

Antique pieces can sometimes be thought of as old-fashioned or out of style when in reality they are absolute classics. It is so easy to incorporate antique furniture and home accessories into your existing layout, and are great staple pieces to use as a springboard if you are redecorating. Antiques can make a room feel more grounded and much classier. If you do not know with what pieces to start, use this guide to help.

Trunks

Antique trunks are the perfect way to bring in some charm into your home, and can be utilized in so many different ways! You can use it as a centerpiece to your living room by swapping out a coffee table for it or showcase it at the end of your bed as storage for extra blankets.

Coat Rack

Nothing says class like an antique coat rack. Not only does a piece like this look beautiful, but it’s really functional, especially if you have limited closet space. Even if you do have a closet, putting one of these next to your front door is great for when you have guests or if you’re just somewhere who is always running in and out of the house.
