Auctions ROCK!

For years we talked about going to auctions, but we never did. Until this year when we had a big house and needed some furniture. I mentioned before how my hubby surprised me for my 40th b-day with this set. Well, last month it was finally time we got a bedroom set and moved from my son’s room where we were sleeping in our old bed. But there was nothing we liked at the stores and they were so pricey. So we decided to go to the local auction.

We previewed the items which came from a furniture store showroom. I felt good about purchasing furniture from the showroom instead of used furniture. Who really wants to sleep on a used mattress?

We found the bedroom suite of our dreams. Not too dark, not too light and we both loved it. But would be get it? That remained to be see.

The day of my first auction was filled with adrenaline. I arrived later then my husband. The bedroom suite had already gone up on the auction block. His face held no news. So I asked. Did we get it? He nodded. I really couldn’t believe it! We probably saved 60% on our new-to-us furniture show room bedroom set!

We’re definitely going back for office furniture. After we save up the money!
