Silver Ridge House Tour Residence Everything Goes Sale

Back in October we were invited by Silver Lake neighbors, Stephanie & Bob Walker, to tour their Silver Ridge Sanctuary, The hillside home was most notable for a stunning kitchen and panoramic view. Unfortunately, the couple has befallen to the effects of the recession, a process they've been documenting on their blog Love in the Time of Foreclosure with grace and humility with what has to be a trying process. They contacted us this weekend with an update and news about an "everything goes" sale happening this coming weekend, with several photos of what will be available. Hopefully some of our readers will be interested in some of the deals available and an opportunity to see the home in person. More details below...

The beautiful objects in this beautiful home are up for sale!

Estate Sale at 2471 Silver Ridge Avenue in the lovely Silver Lake neighborhood this weekend – Saturday 6.13 and Sunday 6.14, 8 AM to 3 PM.

The house made famous by starting its own blog (didn’t know houses could do that did you) and featured in an Apartment Therapy House Tour is having an everything-must-go sale and it wants you to be there. The house is full of great finds from the Rosebowl Flea Market – they can be your finds now! It’s a sale but it’s also a celebration of a wonderful chapter in a house’s life that is now making room (literally) for new owners and their new stories.

We want to wish both Stephanie and Bob the best of luck with the sale and also with whatever new doors open once they leave the keys to the house they called home for the last few years.

It's truly sad - but even good taste doesn't prevent financial disasters.

It IS sad. Unfortunately, good taste often CAUSES financial disasters. Good for them for choosing to be happy and realizing that it isn't stuff that makes you happy to begin with.

Lovely home, lovely stuff.

I hope they use the proceeds to "collect adventures," as they say in their blog.

Years ago I read an article by an anthropologist who studies a remote tribe in the Amazon. She wrote that every time she returns, her life is overwhelmed by all her stuff -- getting it out of storage, cleaning it, rearranging it. She concluded she'd rather live the way she does "in the field." I think it's really true that we can be prisoners to our things. When I was 22, I turned down a chance to teach English in China for a year because I had a car payment. Stupid, stupid.

Best of luck!

Indeed - the best advice that my Dad ever game me when I had the opportunity to take an assignment in Japan was "It's just stuff - put it in storage or get rid of it and GO."

Best decision I ever made.

P.S. Stephanie, I hope you get a book deal out of all this. You write beautifully.
