 No....
 No....it's not time for 
Hooked On House's Holiday Tours!  This weekend we were visiting family in 
New Jersey, and instead of 
hitting the malls for the 
best holiday deals - we went to 
Estate Sales!  Now that's 
our idea of having some shopping fun!  We shopped and shopped - touring some fabulous towns.  We had pretty 
good luck at all of our stops - but wanted to make 
one more stop.  
It led us here.  Out of the 
five of us - 
two of us were 
brave enough to 
enter the house
 (that was to be demolished later this month)
 This
 This is what we walled in to.  Although it was one of the
 filthiest homes we'd been in...we were struck with the
 style - and the spaciousness of this home!  
So...how about a tour?

This stairway let to three bedrooms & a bath upstairs

Looking down from the top of the stairs we 
couldn't help but thing what a 
happenin' pad this had to be 
in it's day!

Downstairs in the basement

A storage room off of the basement's room
 If only
 If only we could have taken this filing cabinet home....in 
perfect condition!
 Groovy lamp!
 Groovy lamp!

Even though this kitchen was 
disgusting - we couldn't 
help ourselves going through 
everything in here!  
At this point - the other three girls decided to come in and see 
just what we were doing!
We were asking the lady that was running the sale if she knew about the owner.  She said that he must have done something with photography & film.  She said that the day before there were lots of vintage movie reels, cameras & lights that went out the door.  It was pretty interesting to see - that's for sure!
 
Thought you'd like to see a few of the things we got 
(by the way, this was everyone's favorite stop...we ALL got several things from here!)

OH PLEASE!! You know I would!!! Can you see me turning green with envy?! Oh I'm so jealous:( Well if I couldn't have it all I'm glad you girls got some good stuff!
I would in a heartbeat! We used to go into old farmhouses when renters moved out and we came out with some really cool things.
I'm originally from Jersey. Off topic, but none the less.
WOW, COULD I DO A REDO THERE :) GIO
You bet I would!! Wow, I've never been to an estate sale in a nasty house. EVER. They may be very conservative but always clean and tidy. Have been to some pretty dirty auctions though. My goodness that would have been fun!!
