Vintage Finds I Gathered This Week

I’ve been looking forward to visiting a few estate sales around NYC this week. The thing you should know about estate sales is that you really don’t know what you might find— it’s like “a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get.” I looked at the different sites and apps advertising the sales near me, made a list and marked the sales that intrigued me most on a map. I made sure I had a car reserved for the full-day and ventured out to visit the homes on my list. It turned out to be one great cultural experience and I was in total awe of some of those homes and curious souls that lived there. Here are some highlights and some of the unique objects I scavenged.

A HOME IN SADDLE BROOK, NJ

Going further North I bumped into a beautiful home, fairly unassuming from the outside. Inside, it was a time machine into the middle of the 20th century with some iconic furniture pieces as well as a hefty selection of vintage Kodak and Polaroid cameras with their original packaging.

Moving further North, a beautiful house in a more modern Tudor style with a few grand interior details and some of the most extensive collection of large-scale Christmas decorations and vintage Christmas ephemera.

Another unique home filled with some unique first-edition books and paintings with every inch of wall space covered with hand-painted wallpaper.

A HOME IN TEANECK, NJ

An unassuming front in Teaneck leads you into a book feast, with every room covered with eclectic reads from mythology to classics, to art books and ephemera.
