Q&A with Prudence

How did you become interested in estate sales and online auctions?

I love perusing antique stores and vintage shops. However with my busy schedule, I found I couldn’t go as often so I started looking at online auctions to get my fix!!

How do you describe your design style/aesthetics?

I work hard to channel our clients' style while putting my spin on it. Mixing modern and vintage genres are a hallmark in my designs as I feel it gives a room depth and interest.

Our clients tend to want a clean and fresh look with a mix of pattern and color. My own personal style is much more layered than what I do for our clients. I don’t know how to edit myself so I don’t!

What types of things do you find yourself consistently bidding upon in online auctions?

I am always drawn to blue and white accessories like ginger jars sanad other vessels. I love owls and own a million brass versions!

BRG Blog

What's your absolute favorite item ever purchased at an estate sale or online auction?

My pink vintage chairs in my living room. I absolutely adore everything about them!

Do you have tips or advice for online auction or estate sale newbies?

I always read the site's fine print. Don’t buy until you know the terms and conditions. Look at all the pictures and measurements.

When it comes to furniture, I will tape it out when in doubt!! You have to ensure it fits in your home.

Make sure you love it however! To me that's the most important thing when I make a purchase! A home should be filled with the people and things you love!!
