We are Betsy and Sarah
The Estate of Things (2007–2021)
A home decor, historic renovation, and lifestyle brand with a bi-coastal soul.
The Estate of Things was born on a set of barstools in Southern Pines, North Carolina, during Christmas Break of 2007. What began as a shared journal online between two friends grew to reach thousands of monthly readers across the nation. Sarah’s historic renovation projects were featured in Southern Living, House Beautiful, Apartment Therapy, Good Housekeeping, Domaine, and The Huffington Post, bringing national attention to the brand’s distinctive aesthetic.
In 2015, after years of thrifting, picking, and slinging vintage finds on Etsy, the pair brought their online world to life. They incorporated in 2016 and opened their first brick-and-mortar shop in Sarah’s hometown of Southern Pines, NC. TEOT quickly became a beloved destination for unique home goods, vintage pieces, and interiors full of warmth and personality.
Over time, TEOT expanded to multiple Cooperative Design Market locations, from Aberdeen, NC, to Venice Beach, CA, bridging the founders’ bi-coastal sensibility and their shared belief that great design connects people to place.
After fourteen inspired years, The Estate of Things closed in 2021. Both founders carried the spirit of TEOT into new creative chapters:
Sarah Farrell launched Forthright Contracting with her husband and continues to design and renovate historic homes in Southern Pines, NC.
Betsy Moyer brought her design sensibility to the West Coast, founding Good Company in Santa Barbara, CA, a modern design studio and social club inspired by the same belief in home, creativity, and community that sparked TEOT all those years ago.
Though The Estate of Things has reached the end of its eCommerce era at this website, its story lives on in every inspired project, every lovingly restored home, and every creative collaboration that began with a simple idea: two friends and a shared passion for everything that makes up a HOME.
Just came across your blog while searching for blue/gray kitchens. It is a great resource – am adding you to my blog roll!
Happy New Year!

Thanks Joyce!
Good morning. Is there any way you can connect me to the dealer who has the antique hunt scene?
Thanks,

I live in So Pines, and have probably run into Sarah at one of the estate sales in the area! Sarah, how about meeting for coffee sometime?
Hey Jennifer, Might you be Jenny Love?
I think I just answered my own question and its no. But I’m glad you commented and you visited TEOT! Please say Hi if you see me, I’m going to start going to the estate sales again soon.
Ladies – I saw the photo of your vintage swing stand chalkboard and I just purchased one. One whole side of the stand is missing. It did have the hardware for the missing side – all except the piece that fits into the stand frame that accepts the bolt on the other part. It is called a “swinging frame holder.” Wondering if you know any source (demolition/renovation stores) you might know about where I could get a replacement. I’m just trying every place I can find. Have already checked with Antique Renovators and they had a couple of referrals but to no avail thus far.
Hi Kelly.
You know, I’m not sure exactly where you might find the exact parts that will put that all back together for you. Sounds from your description like you are missing the wooden side arm piece plus a bolt?
If you have any woodworkers in your area, I would imagine you can take the other side in and ask for its mirror.

Hi,
two tools, one goal: faster, safer rehab in water.
The Fitness Capsule is a sealed, single-user hydrotherapy chamber with fresh water for every session – designed for post-op and immunocompromised patients who cannot share a pool but still need full-body water therapy.
The modular rehabilitation pool handles everything else: group sessions, gait retraining, balance work, and athletic return-to-running, with a movable floor that lets therapists control load and depth in seconds.
No concrete. No construction zone. Just plug clinical hydrotherapy into your existing space and start treating patients in days, not months.
See how both systems can fit your workflow: https://tau.lu/9090e3c4f

Hello, I hope you’re having a great week. I wanted to introduce Grapevine Media & Marketing, a full-service advertising agency and true one-stop shop specializing in premium outdoor advertising and AI-driven, addressable streaming media nationwide. Our core strengths are out-of-home (OOH) and streaming audio/video. On the outdoor side, we provide access to high-impact inventory including bulletins, digital bulletins, wallscapes, transit, airport, and mall placements in every major market. We frequently secure premium outdoor inventory at significant savings when last-minute opportunities arise. On the digital side, we partner with the largest audio and video streaming platforms, reaching 250M+ streamers across mobile, desktop, smart homes, podcasts, Bluetooth, and mobile gaming. Using AI-powered analytics, campaigns are highly targeted, fully measurable, and can be adjusted in real time to maximize performance. We’ve worked with Stella Rosa Wines / San Antonio Winery for over 13 years, helping scale the brand from regional distribution to one of the largest wine companies in the country. There is no cost for our services—we are compensated directly by media outlets—making our process efficient, flexible, and cost-effective. If outdoor or addressable streaming is something you’re exploring, I’d be happy to share a brief overview. Kindest regards, Michael

Hi there! I realize this is sort of off-topic however I had to ask.
Does operating a well-established blog like yours take
a massive amount work? I am completely new to writing a blog however I
do write in my journal everyday. I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share
my personal experience and thoughts online. Please let me
know if you have any ideas or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
Appreciate it!

AI-generated content is a fascinating space. Many people don’t realize how important prompt structure is.
Even small tweaks can completely change the final result.
I’ve been experimenting with similar workflows. There are actually
some solid prompt collections online. Thanks for sharing your
insights.

Hello! I just would like to give a huge thumbs up for the great info you have here on this post. I will be coming back to your blog for more soon.
Nice insights here. AI tools are changing content creation a lot.
I’ve been experimenting with similar prompts.
The output quality depends heavily on prompt structure.
I came across a similar resource recently: pretty useful.
Good work.
