Your possessions after you die  

Yep
I had the same thought one day and I had this sudden urge to write a will even at age 25. I too, just didn't want people to throw away my things without realizing their worth or selling them.
When my grandfather passed away, everyone in the family was just going through his things and I'm walking around my grandparent's house like, "What the f!!k?"
I begged them to at least keep his rocking chair, but nope, there was no use for it. My uncle wanted to take all of his suits and my aunts and mother were trying to sneakily grab little things of his so that they could remember him.
It was all just a realization moment.

Many regular people are so down sized by the time of death at 80 plus years old there is little left but the basics...

I'll choose my favorite thrift shop
and leave them all my precious shizzle. Back from whence it came...

I have purchased so many...
I have purchased so many great things from yard/estate sales, thrift stores, antique shops and ebay its hard to keep track of where it all came from. I often think of the "life" the object lived before it fell into my hands. I've come to believe that these objects have lives of their own and find their way into deserving hands one way or another. I am hopeful that my loved possessions will find their way to the right place once I'm gone.

Are you kidding?
My kids regularly discuss in front of me what they are gonna snag when I croak. They ask me for some things and other things they just say they will take. They compete (not too seriously) for stuff. It's mostly my two daughters. My son is only 18 and not too interested yet in home furnishings, though he does have a Plycraft Eames-wannabe lounge chair in his dorm room.
If my kids didn't lust for my furniture and stuff, I'd probably tell them to consign it to one of the better auction houses in town, one that I know will advertise well so they get the best bang for their Bang. (har har, i don't own any Arne Bang. I wish.)
Kind of ironic that most of it came from estate auctions in the first place. Oh well.

Garrison Keillor said he...
Garrison Keillor said he wanted his possessions sold at an estate sale at "rock bottom prices" when he goes. The cycle begins again. Perfect.

I would want my child (along ...
I would want my child (along with any other future child I may have) to take what they truly want and appreciate. If they don't end up having an appreciation for my things, based on a love for design or sentiment, then I would prefer that my items went to someone that does.
In fact, I think I want to specify that in my will. If my kids are financially secure, I would even love my items to go for free or very inexpensively to appreciators with little money.
I have never spent more than 600 dollars on any of my finds, and I appreciate the modern enthusiast making low wages in the creative class. They deserve a piece of the pie too. After all, many of these drool worthy designs we love were made for them originally. Future songwriters, painters, designers, architects, writers .... they deserve to be inspired in their homes.

I wont care
I'll be dead.
Sometimes things are significant mementos - a business card from my families bakery from the Depression. Some things are a burden (my grandmother unloading her collection of Lladro figurines on the grandkids)...destined for eBay.
My only hope would be that my family has the good sense to guide the things to where they will be of most use. Maybe thats a flea-market, maybe its a charity auction. Either way, I'll still be dead 🙂

To my daughter to keep or sell or give away

This reminds me of the first...
This reminds me of the first MCM book I ever purchased (link below).
In the this book, there was one lucky soul with a wonderful collection of MCM furniture. Everything was something good. From art to chairs to accessories etc. All of this was passed on from his parents. Luckily, this person had the good sense to appreciate it.
While I am jealous, it also takes away the opportunity for acquiring your own things and experiencing your own finds.
But with original ESUs, an Eames desk, a bunch of Bertoia, Knoll sofa etc. It would be hard to complain too much!

Up to now...
...I would have left it up to my dear wife and children to decide, but since this afternoon I am seriously considering mouving to the country side in Mississippi, buy a house with a large enough porch, eat myself up to a morbid overweight and wait for Whitespike to come by...

Oh, Koen, you'll be waiting a long time. I no longer live there, and I'll move back when hell freezes over.
But, you basically got it down in regards to being a true Mississippian 😉

I am leaving all my...
I am leaving all my mahogany association numbered items to Brent. I don't have any at the moment, but that is bound to change when mahogany comes back in vogue, as I am sure it will.
Seriously though, I haven't given it much thought. But as I don't have any children or siblings, I think I would want the few valuable items I own to go to a good home, preferably to someone who would not otherwise be able to afford them. I don't know exactly how that would work out in practice. Dividing it among friends would be another option, I guess, but one that would require careful consideration and good knowledge about their tastes and needs to ensure they receive something they will use.

Will drive for Mid-Century!
Hey, Koen if Whitespike isn't driving by that's alright I have the trailer ready to go. I've never been to Mississippi so hey. And if anyone else would like to join Koen in surrounding areas please let me know. 😀
