Last week J and I went to a Wednesday night auction. The best part about this auction is that they take photos of almost everything there and post them ahead of time. I love knowing that we are going for a reason, or that we get to stay home because nothing appeals to us. We saw so many awesome/awkward things this particular week, that I just had to show y’all.
Some of our favorites:
I wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I had that many print drawers. Talk about dreamy!
Not sure why but we both loved this one:
Thought this safe would make an awesome side table for our living room, but it went for $250, which was way more than we were willing to spend..bummer!
I totally wanted this, but then I had a reality check and realized I live in freaking Arizona. I think I could wear this for maybe a month..
Some of the still awesome, but totally awkward items:
Just what our home was missing.. 😉
Oh and how could we not buy an old exam table. Stirrups anyone?!
Cool but sad..
I don’t love the whole look of this one, but for some reason the hardware on it made me fall in love-
Ready for the worst item of the night? I so wish I was in that room when that item went to bid. Seriously how much would someone pay for this?!
This was the only item we ended up taking home with us..it doesn’t look like much now, but it will turn out beautiful- I promise!
Needless to say, auctions are where its at! Some many fun treasures to find, and also the freaking random weird items as well. Got to love good entertainment! Have you found any great treasures lately? Let me know!
<3,
That chandelier actually made me catch my breath! Wouldn’t it be neat in an industrial basement?
use to go to alot auctions and public sales but i haven’t been to either in a very long time…i must start searching for some near by i am sure prices have jumped 100 times over….i can remember back when auctioneers begged you to bid on oak furniture i have a claw foot table daddy bought for 5 bucks many moons ago!!
That chair definitely has potential. (Looking forward to seeing the finished transformation.)
I’m drooling over the print drawers. I love them. How much did that full set of drawers go for? I know around here just one drawer is about $40. Thanks for showing off all the cool auction stuff.
This looks like so much fun! I have lived in Phoenix my whole life and never new about auctions like this. Would you mind sharing some of the local auctions information?
advindinner- it would look AMAZING in an industrial space! Oo I am dreaming now:) Chris- a claw foot table for $5! That would be an incredible find now. The prices im sure have gone up since then, but you can still find steals every now and then! miss charming- cant wait to get to work on it! meghan- Just google phoenix auctions to find them, because we go to multiple ones depending on the week!!Hope that helps <3, Adri
