Martha Stewart is a household name as the expert on, well, all things household—how to cook, craft, decorate, and entertain like the best. Sure, she’s had her ups and downs (and prison time), but if you still aspire to possess one sliver of her domestic prowess, you can now buy it for as little as 25 bucks!

On May 5 and 6, Kaminski Auctions of Beverly, MA, is selling off a collection of studio props and furniture from “The Martha Stewart Show,”  and if you can’t get to the auction gallery in person, you can bid online or by phone at KaminskiAuctions.com.

That’s right: You can set Martha Stewart’s table in your own home, with Martha Stewart’s dishes and tableware. You can cook in her pots and arrange flowers in her vases, and the prices actually seem quite reasonable. Minimum bids start at only $25—that’s for entire collections of things, from placemats to antique clocks—and even if the bidding drives those prices up, most final tallies are anticipated to stay well under the $500 range. In other words, getting a piece of Stewart’s empire comes surprisingly cheap!

And you’ll feel even better about buying this stuff knowing that a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Martha Stewart Center for Living (MSCL) at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, which serves to promote and facilitate access to health care resources for older adults and to enhance the public perception of aging.

In other words, channeling your inner Martha Stewart will be a win-win all around—not just for your home decor. Here are a few choice items to consider bidding on that could elevate your domestic A-game to a whole new level.
