Drum roll please! After much ado - I finally snapped a photo of Donna Seiberlich - our Assistant Store Manager at both the Carol Stream and Lombard stores!
Donna is going to be a familiar face to many of our customers since she was our Discoveries Store Manager for the last 13 years (unfortunately due to rising rent and lower sales the store closed last fall).
Donna loves many things about working at Outreach and, specifically, at Jubilee Furniture! Here are a few:
- the fact our proceeds are helping to fund the programs and services at Outreach allowing those we serve to have access to important services on a sliding scale
- providing people with quality furniture, décor, artwork and area rugs at a fraction of their retail value
- the variety of people who walk through our doors makes it so interesting - and fun - to work here
- and then finally, getting to know people and connecting with them - sometime weekly - is something Donna really enjoys!
Donna splits her time between our Carol Stream and Lombard stores! Please stop and introduce yourself the next time you see her!
Before we move on - there are two special things to share:
In anticipation of phase three of our building project (more showroom space and classrooms for our Employee Opportunity Program) - we've moved our outdoor furniture to the EAST side of our building which you access THROUGH our showroom (back southeast corner). Here's my feeble attempt to show you - through photos - where to go:
your view as you enter the store
walk past our checkout area
keep walking - not nearly there yet
though you could zig zag through the showroom this route is taking you back towards our warehouse
feel free to stop and check out anything that catches your eye as you head back
almost ready to make a left towards an exit door you might have never noticed before
phew - successfully navigated the left turn and are now heading towards the
far southeast corner of our showroom
I beg of you - even though we have a ton of hardwire chandeliers and it would be amazing if you bought one - we actually don't accept them for donation (the one exception is we take them from Acosta's) so do NOT call me to donate one!
need to take a quick potty break? We got you covered!
keep your eye on the prize - you're heading towards that exit door!
almost there!
Tada! You made it - watch your step as you go down the ramp!
try to ignore the dumpster!
see something you want to purchase? Zip back inside and find an amazing volunteer
or staff person to put a sold tag on it!
The other exciting thing is we're running a sale - 50% OFF all décor, lighting, mirrors, dinnerware, kitchenware and pillows priced $25 or less! Some exceptions apply and this sale does NOT include artwork.
Moving on - what follows are photos of some of our current inventory at our Carol Stream location! Let's take a gander!
we received an incredible donation of BRAND NEW side tables! The larger one is 15 3/4" by 29 1/2" by 27" tall and the smaller one: 23 1/2" by 15 1/2" by 25 1/2" and they nest very nicely together! We have two different color finishes and the larger one is $40 and the small one $35 and we have a LOT of them (but they're flat packed so we need some time to assemble unless you want to take unassembled)
man oh manischewitz - I am so in love with this two drawer FILE cabinet with two other drawers and ALL FOUR OF THE DRAWERS LOCK (AND we have not one - but TWO- keys!).
Romweber brand - pine wood in excellent condition and priced $225
I'm not a fan of gas station velvet Elvises but this mid-century modern velvet painting of the Eiffel Tower/Paris THAT LIGHTS UP is simply too amazing to be true! Yet - it is real and can be yours for a mere $325. You have to see it in person to really appreciate it -
and it sounds hooky but it's actually really cool!
another brand new table - this time a sofa or entry table that measures: 14" by 39 1/2" by 31 1/2" tall and is priced $60. Two sweet small drawers and a shelf provide some nice storage!
stunning - Room & Board daybed - similar (but not the same) as this Jasper one that retails for $1,899. Was donated from R&B because of damage to the frame - which has been repaired (and is now more solid than when it comes from the factory!). Priced $425
oversized and VERY deep Crate & Barrel chair in excellent condition and priced $255
gorgeous teak buffet? storage credenza? media stand? you name it! Haha! Measures: 17 3/4" by 53 1/4" by 33 1/2" tall and is priced $375. Note fairly deep scratch on the back right corner of the top
two matching beautiful table lamps priced $60 each
(alas, too expensive to be part of the 50% off sale)
another gorgeous buffet! Measures: 21" by 68 1/2" by 3' tall and in excellent condition and priced $225
beautiful twin size metal headboard, footboard and side rails for $155. USED twin size mattress for $125 and the USED twin size box spring is $40
I LOVE this wooden "woven" king size headboard (with metal bed frame) for $285!
USED Room & Board king size mattress is $275
this is a really flexible twin over full bunkbed system! Don't want the stairs? There's a different footboard and a ladder you can replace them with! There's also a twin size trundle! We're selling the wood bunkbed for $555. USED full size mattress is $225. USED twin size mattress is $145.
USED IKEA twin size mattress (the one in the trundle) is $10.
Some nicks in the wood but overall in very good condition!
I'm always grateful when you stop by, dear reader! Thank you so much!
