Do you ever really need an excuse to shop estate sales and antique stores? I say no. The only problem: finding conversation pieces that you don’t quite have a home for (yet).

My biggest rule of thumb for treasure hunting is if I don’t have the space now, I’ll buy it anyway and find the space later. And in the meantime, I stash my finds for my future self.

Instead of storing antiques or valuable memorabilia in your attic or garage, it’s best to safely store those prize possessions in a controlled environment. Keep reading to see our recs of where to find cool pieces and where to store them!
