I have a particular penchant for the slightly weird and wonderful when it comes to styling my home. I love things that spark conversation. A ceramic figurine I found at a thrift store. A chair that looks uncomfortable to sit in, but is exceptionally stylish; a bowl shaped like a cabbage. But being from Australia, I've never been to an estate sale before.
Standing in line to shift through people's old stuff seems to have become somewhat of a subculture in America, not just for the sustainable living crowd, with even some of the best interior designers sourcing unique and time-worn pieces found at these sales for their projects. No longer do we need to wait for someone to pass. A divorce, a downsize, change of address or the simple desire to redecorate can now be the catalyst for an estate sale. Especially when it comes to celebrities.
