Everything But The House | My Favorite Estate Sale Picks + A Giveaway

This is a sponsored post.  All content and opinions are my own.

One of my favorite places to hunt for antiques is on Everything But The House, an online estate sale website and organization.  While based in Cincinnati, their current markets also include Nashville, Louisville, Lexington, Indianapolis and Columbus.  Their expansion plans for this year include Southwest Florida, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Washington DC, Denver, LA and Boston.  Some of my favorite pieces that have come from EBTH include: our antique pine harvest dining table, the antique English bench in front of our staircase, and recently, a vintage Bokhara rug and English oak bachelor's chest for Jimmy's office (both of which I have yet to share here on the blog).

I've taken a peek at their current sales and rounded up some of my favorites. I've paired them with inspiration pictures for how I would use them in a home, either mine or yours. ;)  While I'm excited to share this source with you, the best news is that they are offering a $100 EBTH giftcard to a lucky reader to use in an upcoming auction of their choosing.  Trust me, $100 goes far! I've found some beautiful pieces that I could never have afforded if I'd purchased them from a dealer.  The rules to enter are listed at the end of this post...

^^ From EBTH: Cincinnati Consignment Sale

Having original art and antiques make a home. 

I often start searching under art when I go to EBTH's website. ^^

^^Inspiration: Old portraits going up a stairwell instead of family pictures.^^

^^ Inspiration: As part of a gallery wall, they add so much graphic interest, especially when paired with a collection of muted etchings or drawings.^^

^^ Inspiration: They look very classic in an entry too. Instantly add a sense of history to a home.  I like the term "borrowed ancestors". ^^

^^ From EBTH: A collection of pewter.  I'm love finding simple pieces like these.  They look so pretty in glass front cabinets or on open shelving and are perfect for small flower arrangements and groupings. ^^

^^Inspiration: Picture from Helen Norman.  Ivory, green and pewter is such a lovely combination.^^

^^ From EBTH: Antique chest in Lexington sale ^^

^^ From EBTH: From Cincinnati sale.  I almost always recommend an antique chest in the living rooms and dens that I design for clients.  If there is space, it is nice to mix among lots of upholstered pieces.  There are often gorgeous chests on EBTH.  They often make a room.  Also lovely in a bathroom, entry and bedroom.^^

^^Inspiration: In a living room, topped simply with a lamp, a couple accessories, and mirror on the wall.  This is how we have ours in our living room, except with lots of family photos in place of the accessories.  It looks so pretty at Christmas to add a wreath over the mirror. ^^

^^ Inspiration: In an entry.^^

^^ Inspiration: You can pair one of the antique chests with a nautical painting.^^

^^ From EBTH: Nashville sale, a classic antique Windsor chair.  I think it is so charming to have little antique chairs mixed, almost like art, in different rooms.  They are functional too, when extra seating is needed for parties or entertaining.^^

^^ Inspiration: In an entry or mudroom^^

^^ Inspiration: In a bedroom^^

^^ Inspiration: In a bathroom ^^

^^ Inspiration: In front of stairs ^^

^^ From EBTH : Nashville sale.  If you have a home with bookcases and no books, stocking up at estate sales is the way to go.  There are options at sales in almost every city.  I like a styled or streamlined bookcase every now and then, but my favorite ones are those filled with books. ^^

^^ From EBTH: Vintage Nancy Drew, perfect for a little girl's room. ^^

^^ From EBTH: From Cincinnati sale.  I like to include antique tables in many rooms too.  Especially gate legs or flip tops, like this one, because they don't take up much space but can be so practical when entertaining.  We have a gate leg table in our dining room that easily moves in front of the fireplace when we want to eat dinner there. ^^

^^ Inspiration: I love to add an antique basket underneath when I can. ^^

^^ From EBTH: Lexington sale.  An antique secretary can be added almost anywhere too.  Office, bathroom, bedroom, living room... ^^

^^ Inspiration: In a bedroom ^^

^^ Inspiration: Painted in a sitting room ^^

^^ Inspiration: Filled with white towels in a bathroom.  I wish I had room to do this! ^^

^^ Inspiration: Paired with a modern seat in a living room ^^
