Decorate In Haunting Style

Lisa repurposed an antique coffin dolly (found at an estate sale for $5) as the base of a concrete-top coffee table in the living room. Ostrich and emu eggs and a bear skull create a unique arrangement under cloches.

Most of Lisa's treasures come from local estate and garage sales. Her must-have pieces change constantly, and not all have an eerie aura. "I'm attracted to certain materials," Lisa says. Miniature metal buildings, terra-cotta pots, stainless-steel medical furniture and pages from agricultural farm charts are favorites. Artifacts not showcased in Lisa's home end up on the shelves at Hunt and Gather, an eclectic Minneapolis antiques shop where she is a dealer.
