The Lantern Post Antiques & Lamp Repair

Got Clutter? Need cash - We got Options!

Often times we find ourselves hanging onto things from loved ones past or that we picked up along our life's journey only to recognize that they don't mean all that much to us or that we will never find the time nor energy to do with it as we once thought. They have been shoved away in the attic, a dirty garage or dark basement. 

I know all too well as I am guilty of this - both my basement and my garage were jammed with pictures, lamps, tables, carpets, mirrors and every small knick-knack one could ever imagine. The difference with me is that they were not family heirlooms, but items I picked up from tag sales, yard sales, auctions and from friends and family. I had wanted for then all to fit into my decor - fix them up into a piece that any HGTV host would be proud of. But as time went on, I forgot about them, broke some due to shoving them around to make more room or simply tossed them.

Then it dawned on me one afternoon that I more than likely paid something for it and if I hadn't I must have thought it had some value, so now what? I enjoyed going to yard sales, flea markets, tag sales and auctions and I didn't particularly want to quit something I enjoyed.

Sssssoooooo here is where The Lantern Post can help you.
