Oprah's Yard Sale Kicks Off This Weekend And She's Giving Us A Sneak Peek (PHOTO)

Yes, Oprah Is Actually Having A Yard Sale

The media mogul has been busy promoting the auction of items from her residences in Chicago, Maui, Indiana and Santa Barbara, which is slated to take place Saturday, November 2 at the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club.

Among the personal effects that she says just don't quite represent her personal style: Hand-wrought iron panels that adorned the home’s main staircase (valued at $4,000 to $7,000), a collection of English George Smith upholstered furniture (including those famous green-and-white plaid couches) and a coveted Louis XVI chest stamped by the maker “Boudin,” which is expected to fetch between $30,000 and $50,000.

A preview of the items began Wednesday for ticket-holders, but Oprah gave the rest us a peek at what's up for grabs in the photo she posted yesterday on Twitter:

Check out more of the items on sale and register to bid in person at Kaminski Auctions.

On what prompted the redesign of her Santa Barbara home: "The gilded mirrors, marble urns, the lavish carpets and sherbet palette -- it was all very grand, but it wasn't very true to myself," says Oprah. "And there you have it: the thing that had been missing from all of the beautiful places I'd ever lived in was me!" (credit:Luca Trovato)

Says Oprah, "It's not easy to do an entire library that says, Do not touch the books, but somehow I managed. Words are precious to me, so I'm looking for ways to incorporate my love of them into every room in my home." (credit:Stephen Simons)

"Maya Angelou once told me you can become either an old female or a wise woman," says Oprah. "All I can tell you is that I'm evolving, my taste is, too, and someday soon this room will represent the person I've become."Rose Tarlow, the designer working with Oprah, on the feel of the redesign: "You will not have to put on heels just to walk into this house. Oprah is very elegant and sophisticated, but she is also warm and playful. She likes to put her feet up. One of the redo's key goals is a living room that can actually be lived in."
