A concise guide for parents of millennials, NO THANKS MOM offers sage advice on what to do with those objects 'saved' but NOT welcomed by the next generation.
Collections and treasured objects do not always span the generation gap, sustaining both high market value and the taste and style of the 21st century. Learn to downsize what formerly was valued without upsizing your kid's home. A valuable chapter, The Top Ten Objects Kids Do Not Want discusses the current taste for once- treasured objects such as formal dinner china.
Often a flashpoint between parents and heirs, objects are a reflection of lives and homes. Tales of 'stuff' not in style include market remedies for antiques, fine art, and collectibles: how and where to sell, what to donate, what to save, and what NOT to bequest to heirs. Offered by an appraiser with three decades of experience, a collector of collector's stories, the guide sets forth roadmaps and plans for what to do with objects once your kids have said No Thanks. Topics include The Five Piles Theory of Downsizing, and Rules and Habits for Creative Divesting.
