Nevertheless, we might get rid of some stuff to add new, but old stuff. We will see. Upon walking inside the shop, I think about how many homes these pieces of furniture traveled to. Speaking with Ms. Gordon, I found out about the possibility of donating old furniture we might not need anymore. This has been fun. I did enjoy seeing pictures of North Carolina Outer Banks before the heavy development. Lots more to explore and the prices are reasonable.

First of all, Bob McCann, the owner/proprietor is legitimately the nicest, most charming, and…read moreenthusiastic person ever. He loves what he does, and he enjoys talking about and showing off his numerous projects. Check out the book in his shop that shows the kind of work that he's done. This man is living the dream - he's doing what he loves, with incredible attention to detail. He's not doing it for massive profits, but because he really, really loves his work. And though he's an amazing restorer, he is most enthusiastic about repurposing older pieces to fit your current lifestyle. Ask him about his pump organ projects - something that was basically broken down and unusable was repurposed into a desk with hidden cubbies and secret panels like something out of that National Treasure movie. Which led me to basically dream planning having one of this pump organs be redesigned into a goth themed vanity of my dreams. Never mind that I live in a studio. And I was SHOCKED at how low the starting price for a project like that was - seriously, he is undercharging for the kind of work he does. I am seriously considering getting rid of my couch and tv cabinet just to make room for his custom vanity with secret cubbies and hidden drawers and expandable table tops. But if you're not ready for that and are looking for someone to fix/restore/recane/refinish cherished family pieces or even fix up that flea market find, Mr. McCann is your guy. He's a freaking treasure and he's absolutely worth the drive out to visit for a consult (or even just a chat )

I held onto his info and reached out to him to have him restore a 55 year old mid century one piece sofa sectional. It was my Dad's bachelor sofa. 10ft long. Over the years my folks had it reupholstered 3xs. When i inherited I had it done boldly in red Naugahyde. That was 21 years ago. Iron Gate Antiques just reupholstered in recycled leather and they added a lil height lift to it because she was a low rider. It's beautiful. The entire gang at Iron Gate made this project so much fun to do and I'm so pleased with the work they did abs the outcome

I contacted Cameo Coins when preparing to sell a family member's coin collection and some stamps…read more The store personnel advised me on my options (appraisal, sale, etc) and recommended a time to arrive. At the store, numerous staff efficiently looked through all the different items I brought in and tallied up what they could offer, and let me know what items they could not take. I did not have a specific amount in mind of what I hoped to be offered, but Cameo's offer seemed extremely fair and they carefully clarified how the check should be made out to meet the requirements of my family member's estate. It was amazing to watch an assembly line of store personnel efficiently sort items and document the running sale total. I had approximately four bankers boxes worth of coins and a bin of stamps, and the entire process took less than an hour. I highly recommend Cameo Coins if you are looking to sell coins, collectables, or stamps or have those type of items appraised.

Jewelry, furniture, postcards, framed art, mirrors, books, kitchenware, quirky items etc.... It reminded me of all the thrift stores I've been browsing at with low prices (isn't that old stuff too?). I just can't tell the difference sometimes--you donate your items to thrift stores, but antique shops carry items from estate sales? I feel weird bargaining here. Everything was a little overpriced for me, but that's probably because I don't have a good appraising eye. I was surprised to find their glass cabinets near $600.
