Attic View

This is a view out the attic of a new house we're remodeling. The brick house was built in the 1940s and we have found lots of neat things inside it - in the attic is a large wood chest that something was shipped in, and it was shipped to the address of the house - the address is still visible on the side of the crate. Also, the tenant who recently moved left behind some neat knick-knacks. If you've seen decorations in our house, you've seen knick knacks from every tenant who ever left something behind. Todd calls our decorating style "eclectic," but I call it "leftovers!"

The best things that were ever left behind by people moving out have been a collection of DVD movies, a set of bunk beds, an old set of Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society going back generations, and a laminated map of the world. The worst things ever left behind by a mover include: a pound of raw hamburger meat on the counter, dozens of old moldy mattresses, and a voluminous set of 33 record albums (33 record type, not quantity) from the 'folk' and 'world' genres.
