Look what we found!

Kathy Luhn has a good eye for a treasure.

Luhn, who lives in Othello, Wash., says she was introduced to “junking” as a teen.

“This was before garage sales,” she wrote. “We would go through the used furniture places downtown.”

Luhn took a pair of antique brass twin beds from her grandmother’s house and, with the help of extension rails, turned them into a king-size bed.

One of Luhn’s favorite finds is a large, carved mantel, which is almost 6 feet tall and has an oval, beveled mirror framed in carved beaded trim.

“It was leaning against a tree three blocks from my house,” Luhn wrote. She asked the owner what his plans for the mantel were and he told her he was going to put it on a fireplace when he got one.

Luhn persuaded him to sell it to her and she installed it in her dining room.

“It is beautiful,” Luhn wrote, “And I only paid $45 for it!”

“We have a house full of good deals,” Luhn wrote. “I always said my decorating style was late-Salvation Army, but now I call it antique.”
