New-from-the-showroom Merchandise Mart outdoor furniture has arrived!

We had a pickup yesterday at the Mart but the team arrived back too late to off load. I know Connie is hoping to get the truck emptied and the furniture priced - if possible this morning - but I can't promise it will all be done by the time we open on Wednesday at 1 pm. That said, if you've been wondering when we'd be getting more outdoor furniture - we picked up a few pieces from Gensun Casual and then the rest is from Woodard - and we're super excited and predict it'll go fast!

Our indoor furniture donation continues at record highs and what follows are just a few pieces I spied when I was at the store yesterday. Let's take a look! 





very nice Bauhaus sofa for $165 and matching chair for $85






there's no tag (can see where the tag was but it's gone) on this ribbon, red suede chair but it's certainly in the Louis Durot style! The cheapest I could find a similar chair online is here for $795
Ours is in excellent condition and priced $550



wonderful black metal shelving piece - measures: 15" by 6' and stands 29" tall. There's a small dent in the top and one of the legs seem slightly bent but otherwise in great condition and priced $85





this is such a cool piece! Two piece "secretary" that's in very good condition EXCEPT the large drawer needs some work to get it to open and close properly. The base piece is 17" by 34 1/2" and then I couldn't reach the top but it's 83" tall to just under the decorative part at the tippy top. Priced $125 




very nice IKEA micro-suede sofa for $125





Walter E. Smithe armchair and ottoman. Some fraying of the upholstered on the ottoman 
but the chair is in excellent condition and the set is priced $95





this is a pristine condition Vanguard sofa that's priced $175




very nice Room & Board sofa for $365. It looks like some slight fading on the edge of the seat cushions but when I went to flip 'em over - there's a spot on one of them - so what you see is what you get (though you might be able to remove the stain? - wasn't a big deal)






we have a slip-covered loveseat and sofa that's are in a casual, nappy (kind of looks like burlap but it's super soft fabric) upholstery. Both are priced $150 and the loveseat is in very good condition 
and the sofa has a few spots/looks a little tired 







wonderful Henry Link three drawer dresser with mirror for $155 and matching 
six drawer chest for $175. Both are in very good condition





this is a stunning antique walnut wardrobe in good condition (bottom drawer 
needs some work to get it to close properly) for $295



fabulous bench for $175



two matching 27" square (and 21" tall) end tables that are in very good condition and priced $35 each! Is it just me or do they looks like turtles in my last photo? Haha! 

Thanks so much for stopping by, dear reader! I've been ending every post for the last year by reminding you to wear your face mask whenever you're out and about but since neither the CDC or Illinois require it if you're fully vaccinated - I'll stop! Take care!
