Over the past few years, one of the things we've done quite often is to hit most every MCM open house and estate sale we can find. It's a great glimpse into another space — and in many cases, another life. We've seen time capsules like the house on Shay Drive as well as diamonds-in-the-rough in our own neighborhood. In many cases, you can even find a few treasures.
A few weeks ago, while working on a project in Marin, I stumbled across an estate sale in an Eichler in Terra Linda. What I walked into is best expressed in pictures. While refraining from judgement, I can say that it's certainly the most unique Eichler I've been in in a while with some simply unforgettable choices.
I walked out with a few pieces for Casie's ModApple shop, but the best items might be the photos.

I am at a loss... for words.

Did this happen to be on Golden Hinde Blvd? I saw an estate sale there and wasn't able to make the time to stop by, even though I live on that street!
