Shelby, Emma, and I meandered through the second story of a large,
turn-of-the-century Victorian house looking for pieces of furniture or
decor that would work for an upcycle project I had in mind. At that point,
something that would work for any project at all would have been great.
We’d been to three sales that day and four the day before, and let me tell
you, I was learning fast that the phrase “estate sale” was more often than not
just a fancy way of saying, “Great-Aunt Minnie kicked the bucket and we’re
unloading her stuff for whatever we can get for it.”
That morning, we’d gotten up early and driven an hour to Eagle Gap.
The first sale of the day had looked promising, at least in print. There’d
been a picture of an RV in a wooded setting and a list of several items that
sounded like they had potential. Silly me; I thought the RV was actually,
you know, a recreational vehicle for sale in addition to items from the actual
home. In reality, the sale was for the RV and its contents, because the chainsmoking little old lady who had lived in the RV for fifteen years—along
with her ten cats—had died and her kids didn’t want to go anywhere near it.
I didn’t blame them; the camper smelled like a combination
ashtray/litter box and the stench of that mixed with BO hovered like a cloud
around the entire thing. I hadn’t gone inside even though the auctioneer did
everything but drag me in, promising that I could get it for a song. Yeah, I
had no doubt that was the truth.
Thankfully, they had the contents sitting outside. There was a super nice
dresser—the only thing in the sale worth a plugged nickel—but the smell
had permeated the deepest layers of the wood. I’d opened one of the
drawers and the overwhelming stench that wafted out had nearly knocked
me over. Next!
The second sale had been okay, at least compared to the first. It had
been in an actual house, and the little old couple who’d lived there had kept
their property in plastic-on-the-couch condition. It was great for their adult
kids because they made a small fortune, but not so great for me, since I was
looking for beat-up pieces that I could breathe some love and life back into
and transform into something entirely different.
That brought us to the graceful old house we were currently exploring.
It was an open-house sale that we’d happened upon as we were driving.
Nobody was pushing us to buy anything; we were free to roam at will, and
each item had a price tag so you didn’t have to ask. There was a woman
about my age sitting at a desk by the front door, cashing people out and
answering the occasional question.
I’d made my way through the downstairs and most of the second floor
when my kid sister, Shelby, sidled up to me. “C’mon, Noelle,” she said with
