When you buy a new home, and the mortgage loan goes through, it becomes apparent to many that some home decor is needed. I like antiques. But they can get expensive if you go through antiques dealers. Happily, at Shakhammer, Bad Bad Ivy makes a good point about estate sales. You can usually find inexpensive stuff. We ofter overlook estate sales as sources for home decor, but they can cost much less than going to the antiques mall.

And estate sales have more than just antiques. Modern decor can usually be found, as well as artwork and even electronics. There’s usually plenty to spruce up your home.
