Sandy Springs Society sells Tossed Out Treasures

The Sandy Springs Society holds its Tossed Out Treasures sale.

This timepiece for the guest retreat is only $4.

Once Cox found a red, black and gold wool area rug to anchor the room, it took only 90 minutes to find and assemble the other furnishings.

Everything on the table - from the utensils to the linen napkins - came from the flea market's inventory, for a grand total of $30.

.....The result is a bedroom fit for a princess.

Cathie Cox, an interior designer from Alpharetta, put together this guest retreat with $313 worth of treasures.

McAlpin used a fireplace mantel to give the illusion of a keeping room off the kitchen. The mantel will be part of a silent auction.

Keen is one of four designers who combed through donations for this weekend's Tossed Out Treasures sale to put together room vignettes showcasing the furnishings.

Keen furnished the entire room for $240 worth of items. A white metal double bed ($35) was the starting point.

Lila McAlpin, an artist and avid collector, created a cozy mountain kitchen for people who might be shopping for a second home in the mountains.

The 'Tossed Out Treasures' sale will be held at North River Shopping Center, 1880 Roswell Road in Sandy Springs. It begins with a preview party from 6-9 p.m. April 3. Tickets are $30. The general sale is free to the public. Hours are 9 a.m.- 3 p.m. April 4, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. April 5, and 1-4 p.m. April 6 when everything is half price. For info: www.sandyspringssociety.org; 404-252-2787.

Some of the knicknacks Evans found for the room.

The living room assembled by Kim Evans of Beechwood Designs is pretty cool. Even cooler is the cost: $765. The big ticket items were the love seats ($150 each), and the armoire ($125).

McAlpin looks for paintings for her mountain kitchen vignette.
