Long awaited Lombard store is opening Friday!

Jubilee Furniture and Resale in Lombard is - somewhat quietly - opening on Friday 07/15, from 10 am to 8 pm. We're not making a huge deal about it simply because we need additional volunteers to do the necessary work to sort, price and arrange the "resale" part. You see, part of this store will be a more traditional resale store with high-end, designer clothing and accessories. That part is still a few months out from happening. BUT the furniture part is ready and raring to go! We've been funneling furniture to this store for the last 10 months and they have some gorgeous pieces! Here are the details: 

Jubilee Furniture - Lombard 
240 E. Roosevelt Rd.
Lombard, IL 60148
630.613.8795
Kandy Craig - Store Manager
Bob DeMilio - Warehouse Manager

Store hours: 

THIS WEEK ONLY: Friday, 07/15, from 10 am to 8 pm and Saturday, 07/16, from 9 am to 5 pm 

AFTER THIS WEEK - store hours will be as follows:

  • Wednesday from 1 to 8 pm
  • Thursday and Friday from 10 am to 8 pm
  • Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm

Lombard's hours are the same as the Carol Stream store EXCEPT will remain open until 5 pm on Saturday (Carol Stream closes at 4 pm)

Directions: 

The store is just EAST of the intersection of Roosevelt and Highland Ave. on the NORTH side of Roosevelt (if you're headed east on Roosevelt Rd. from say, Wheaton). If you've been in the area awhile - this used to be the Lazboy showroom

Again - if you stop in (and you're very welcome to come check us out!) right now all you'll find is furniture. I stopped at the Lombard store yesterday and snapped some photos though most pieces still need to be priced so I don't have pricing information.

Jubilee Furniture and Resale - Lombard is a partnership with Timothy Christian Schools - and here's a great informational article about that partnership. Our share of the proceeds are helping to support York Community Resource Center.



here's Kandy - the store manager - she's part of the Jubilee Furniture volunteer board and has been a KEY part of the design team who create magic out of chaos each week at the Carol Stream store


and here's Bob the warehouse manager. Bob's been working at the Carol Stream store for the last year and will be sorely missed now that he's in Lombard

Again, the following photos are simply to give you an idea of the space. It's so light and bright and lovely! Kandy did ask me to take "up close and personal" photos of three gorgeous pieces (but, again, no prices yet):


































this is a stunningly gorgeous Restoration Hardware desk made out of reclaimed timber. 
Measures: 32" by 63"





absolutely beautiful antique desk? (can't really get a chair in the knee hole so not really a 
desk but I don't know what else to call it!)







so, so lovely sideboard! Measures: 24" by 77" and 34" tall. Has custom cut protective 
glass on top and look at that hardware! Love!

Let's travel west and north of the Lombard store to our Carol Stream location and take a look at SOME of our current inventory! 




gorgeous Sherrill brand chair and ottoman in excellent condition and priced $175




really pretty striped wingback chair with round ottoman - both in very good condition and only priced $65. Not sure why priced so low - maybe I missed something?



excellent condition small sofa for $295






I really like these two matching side chairs - though there are some loose threads and 
some wear on both of them. Priced $65 each



pristine condition Flexsteel side chair for $165







Plunkett brand three piece sectional and one of the pieces opens to a bed! 
In excellent condition and priced $1,095





though the upholstery needs to be spot cleaned on this retro sofa it's so amazing Priced $185








fun and funky leather sofa, loveseat and chair! Couch seam is coming apart (drat!) and there is some slight fading/discoloration on the sofa (sun fade?) but otherwise this is modern set in a cool purple/lavender/cream leather! Loveseat and chair are in excellent condition! We're selling these 
three pieces all together for $625. Oh - and the headrests are adjustable 
(just like the headrests in your car!). Love the "rocket" legs/feet! 





three piece Vanguard brand sectional in excellent condition and priced $325




there's a slight discoloration/stain on one of these two matching side chairs (last photo) - but otherwise they're really lovely! Priced $85 each




okay - this is an absolutely STUNNING Hollywood Regency marble (granite?) and brass entry/sofa table! The stone is gorgeous! In excellent condition. Measures: 18" by 54" and stands 26" high. 
Priced $1,095






Pier 1 Imports table (38" by 66") with four chairs - all in very good condition and priced $695




really fantastic white painted wooden table (34" by 60") with SIX chairs 
(none of them have arms) for $155






Better Homes and Garden chest of drawers in very good condition. My only wonder is if the bottom two drawers originally had pulls and were replaced with knobs (they seem a wee bit off). 
Priced $225. Bottom drawer is cedar lined (fancy!)







have you ever known me to NOT love a painted piece - especially a RED painted piece?! No never. There are some scratches on this four drawer chest but look at the "antiquing"! Look at the 
lovely red color! Look at the details! Swoon! Priced $55




Harmony House retro dresser (no mirror) in good condition and priced $110





twelve drawer chest with mirror - in very good condition though there is a long scratch on the top - priced $145







Dixie brand clothing armoire - in very good condition and priced $175. You often see pieces like this where the details are plastic - this is all solid wood and really, really pretty! 








LOVE the muted colors on this Cotswold Cottage brand loveseat (priced $125) and chair and ottoman (priced $65). There's a stain on the ottoman (last photo - it's kind of hard to see) and I noticed some spots on the loveseat that need cleaning - but over all - in good condition













we received a fantastic donation from Boss Manufacturer of some desk chairs that were part of a show at the Merchandise Mart recently. I've included the tags the chairs came with of estimated list price. Again, these were used in a sample sell at the Mart recently

Phew! Did you make it through this whole post, dear reader! Well done. Until next week - take care!
