Fully Furnished

My first offer on the house was not accepted. When I received the counter offer, it was a little more than I had in mind. Then....I had a thought! The former owners had not used the house in years and it was full and I mean full of antiques and "stuff". I agreed to accept the counter offer as long as they left everything in it. I had zero expectations that they would agree. I mean....who sells a house these days fully furnished with antiques. Well....this seller did. Not only did I get the historic river home, I got all of the "stuff"

I am so excited about this at first but then reality sits in again. What in the world am I going to do with all of this? This furniture isn't my taste and I have no idea what some of this stuff is! So a side adventure with this house, is discovering what some of these items are and how they were used. We have had several history lessons and have met new people how told us the stories of these items.

Look at these beautiful pieces.... I have found loving homes for a few things but still have so much more. While I do appreciate the history of these pieces, they are just not my style. We needed to get the items out of the house so we could start the renovations. Right now, everything is in storage but an estate sale is in my future....
