Hi Sian, here's one to get you started... I too come across some amazing spaces while surfing on Houzz, it never ceases to amaze and delight the senses when I find little treasures hidden in here!

gee I've had so many great buys it would be hard to pick just one. Over the years Ive found great: art, antiques, collectables and practical everyday round the house items. However, people can't assume they will find a bargain every time they go to a garage sale. I am an addict and go just about every weekend

You won't believe this but it is true, I bought a house when I attended a garage sale. The owner of the house I bought was helping her friend with her garage sale as they were leaving the area, she said she wanted to sell up and move with them, we got chatting and she took me to her house that she wanted to sell. It was fantastic, on one third of an acre with a rural outlook, in need of a bit of work, I agreed to her price straight away, I got it for a great price and no real estate agents were involved and I love it. Wasn't really planning on buying a house but the opportunity presented itself and was too good to pass up, my family still tease me about my love of garage sales and my ultimate purchase!!

Wow! What a transformation. Love how you have managed to maintain the charm at the same time as a complete refresh. - Rhiannon
