Backroad Bounty Wants Your Antiques

The London hosts of the Cottage Life TV show, Backroad Bounty, are looking for barns, cottages and sheds full of junk to sort through.

The show stars Marty Gebel, owner of Modern Hipster Antiques, and Peter Bam-Bam Bamford, owner of Bamtiques. It has just been renewed for a second season and the guys are anxious to get picking.

Gebel says the show works because they have separate wish lists.

Both guys are willing to crawl around the dirtiest, most disorganized barns and sheds to get at the good stuff. They're not interested in visiting dealers because, "that's not what the show's about."

Cottage Life TV is in free previews until May 16 and the show's first season is in reruns. Backroad Bounty is now also seen in a half-dozen foreign countries including Russia and Poland.

The show's producers are looking for country destinations where people are willing to part with the stuff they've collected over the years. You can contact them on Facebook or through Cottage Life TV.
