We all know the burdens of realizing family and
friends might not be interested in our parents’ belongings, but sometimes downsizing and liquidation can
have amazing surprises.
As
some people in Pittsburgh may already be aware, streaming juggernaut Netflix will be filming a new series right in town. And
in preparation for that series, they’ve recently purchased about $1,000 of
merchandise from auctions run by Caring Transitions of
North Pittsburgh. We’re
not allowed to say much about the series’ premise or tentative title just yet,
but we can say that the items purchased were largely mid-century modern
furniture pieces and collectibles.
Set
decorators and designers gobbled up the available items, and now these beloved items
will find new lives as props for this future Netflix release.
It’s
exciting times when a person’s belongings can not only find a new home, but
find such a unique opportunity. If you’re stuck feeling like your possessions
are now longer hip, remember that there are plenty of people out there who
value and appreciate antiques and vintage items, sometimes to the point of
letting them live on through the set of a major film production.
So
never despair! Remember that there’s always someone out there who values your
treasures as much as you do. And to help find them, Caring Transitions is always a great place to start.
Netflix is currently valued at about $50
billion and has won many awards and accolades for their original television
series, including “Orange is the New Black,” “Luke Cage,” “Stranger Things,”
and “House of Cards.”
