In this weeks' edition, Molly Blankenship (@notallbeige) a NYC-based design consultant and AuctionNinja customer, shares her favorite finds of the week. 

Originally from South Carolina, she credits her Southern upbringing for appreciation of antiques and decor. After over a decade in the corporate world, she launched Not All Beige to showcase her findings from around the world. She works closely with designers and homeowners to source decorative objects, art, mirrors, and antiques to create a unique space.

We had an opportunity to chat with Molly about her personal style, her favorite AuctionNinja finds and any advice she had for fellow bidders. 

ANHow would you describe your taste/style?

MB: Traditional, calm, neutral, cozy

AN: What one or two items do you have a hard time NOT bidding on?

MB: Art. That saying about art "Buy what you love, and you'll find a place for it" rings very true for me. I always tend to have pieces on the floor waiting for their spot on the wall.

ANWhat's your favorite AuctionNinja purchase?

MB: Bar accessories. I purchased an entire vintage bar set that I absolutely love!

ANWhat's your absolute favorite item ever purchased through an estate sale or online auction?

MB: A 1936 Swedish landscape painting. It was love at first sight!

ANAny tips or advice for AuctionNinja newbies?

MB: Get shipping quotes up front, ask the auction contact for details about the piece, and know the terms and conditions before bidding!
