Playing Hookey To Go Estate Sale-Ing!

I played Hookey from work today 

and I blame EstateSales.net!  

Not only did I play Hookey 

but the degenerate side of me 

made the call to the school 

to get Miss Beaux out of class 

to play along with me!  

Now, don't get me wrong here, 

I support education and believe that all children 

should be in school etc., etc.  

But everyone should get a mental health day 

with their mom, right?  

There was a HUGE model home sale 

starting today that I didn't want to miss.  

The builder is well known and very established 

and I knew they would have some great finds.  

AND, I promised her a Starbucks on the way there!  

This is only a portion of the huge warehouse!   

Most of the furniture was dated 

but in great shape as no one had really ever sat on it.

Pillows anyone?

I sent this pic to Mr. Beaux 

and he thought we were in the garden section at Lowe's!

Tons of accessories!  

Miss Beaux wanted to bring the Sputnik clock home 

but it was broken!

When I was perusing EstateSales.net 

I spied this white chair.  

I figured it might be too expensive 

for my Estate Sale budget 

but I knew I needed to check it out.  

I liked the lines of it 

and I thought the size was perfect for a bedroom.

When I saw the price I flipped out!  

Can you believe only $54.00?  

It is in pristine condition 

without a mark on the fabric!  

I love the soft tufting and the covered buttons.

The legs need a little Restor-A-Finish 

on them I think 

but that's an easy fix.

When I was hauling it out 

to the car a lady that was entering the sale said " Well there goes my chair!"

That's when you know you have a great find!

I can't wait to put it in it's new home!  

Speaking of... Here is a little sneak peak of the Hardwoods in the Master.

Not a very good photo 

but this is after the first coat of sealer 

went over the stain yesterday.  

Today was two more coats 

with buffing in between.  

I am so glad we are doing this!

So, the rest of the day was spent with Miss Beaux 

at more Estate Sales 

and Lunch at the Corner Bakery.  

We had a blast and laughed a lot 

at the funny things that we saw.

We found these two hilarious cats 

at the big sale 

but sadly left them behind, Ha ha.  

She did talk me into buying her a 50 cent cat mug though.  

We brought other goodies home too 

which I will share with you later.  

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves
