With deep appreciation for every single one of you!

Wow - I am absolutely blown away by the lovely emails I received last week asking for input about me feeling tired of doing the blog and would Instagram be a better platform for getting photos of our inventory out to a wide audience question. Thank you. Seriously, I really appreciate the ideas and your support of the blog AND you're willingness to adjust if that's best for me/the store! 

So feeling recharged by your kind words - let's keep on truckin' while we continue to figure things out! 

First up - last week's sale of décor pieces was a huge success - so we're running it a second week! 



just ignore the "Labor Day" part! Haha! 

And then what following are photos of a few things that caught my eye at our Carol Stream store! 



excellent condition floral Craftmaster loveseat for $165





beautiful Wesley Hall sofa in excellent condition and priced $295




electric reclining sofa with several reclining options as well as a spot to charge your devises! 
In very good condition and priced $275




very, very cool, orange leather, Room & Board push back recliner! You can see where the arms are a bit lighter/faded but this piece is just going to keep getting better and better (in my opinion!). Priced $245






gorgeous "formal" sofa for $195. Wingback chair for $135. Both pieces are in good condition. 
They aren't the same upholstery but they sure look good together! 




very nice Lazboy sofa - a fresh minty green color! Priced $375




FABULOUS oval glass coffee table with a wood base. There was a crack in the base 
that's been repaired. FYI. Priced $325




another piece by Lazboy! This time a FOUR piece sectional - one part contains a mattress/bed. This is in super good (almost excellent but I spied a small spot or two) condition and priced $725




very nice condition daybed! Has two back cushions that you could use if it was up against a wall or would make the sides extra cushy if not against a wall! Priced $125









I don't remember the back story to this donation - which is too bad - since these two Walter E. Smithe pieces are seriously pristine. Like never used! One of them is a 7' sofa and it's priced $825 and then the 6' sofa is $775. The gray upholstery has a very slight greenish cast to it - it's really lovely! 






are you looking for a sleek leather recliner that has a small footprint and would be an understated player in the best possible way? I got you! This Room & Board piece is part of their Nilsen Collection and retails for $3,199. Ours is priced $1,295 and I really can find nothing wrong with it! 




FANTASTIC Arhaus loveseat in fabulous condition and priced $395




Ethan Allen tufted back and arm sofa in a wonderful micro-suede 
that's in very good condition! Priced $195




two piece Van Guard (part of their American Bungalow Collection) sofa/chaise in 
very good condition and priced $245




this plaid sofa on wheels looks great EXCEPT there's damage under one of the seat cushions 
(second photo) and it looks a bit faded along the back (I didn't notice it until I was 
walking behind it later in the day). Priced $125






42" by 6' rustic table with two 18" leaves - in very good condition and priced $225. Four micro-suede dining chairs with nail head trim - from Pottery Barn - in good condition and priced $185 for all four




Thomasville dining set that includes: table (45" by 68") with two 16" leaves, table pads 
and six chairs - in good condition and priced $245




beautiful painted three drawer chest with mirror - in very good condition - 
priced $195 for both pieces! 





stunning solid oak king size platform bed with three drawers on BOTH sides - in excellent condition and priced $545. USED king size mattress for $75 (looks kinda lumpy, bumpy!)

And that, dear reader, is a wrap! I'll see you next week! Take care!
