Our volunteers are the cat's pajamas!

I truly love all of our volunteers! We couldn't do what we do at the furniture store without 'em! But we have one volunteer, Wendy - who has taken her love of Pinterest and her DIY skills and has been quietly turning some of our "less resalable" bookcases and armoires into the most fun things! Wendy's the brains behind several armoire coffee bars I've showcased over the last few months and she (with the help of her husband) turned a large bookcase piece into a cat's paradise! Seriously, this thing is incredible! 

Let's start with what Connie is calling a custom cat condo (love it!) as well as some other wonderful pieces currently in our Carol Stream store!









this cat condo HAS IT ALL including inside access to a roof top space just waiting for your cat to watch everything going on below and quietly judge! Haha! Selling this custom piece for $225! 





gorgeous leather sofa for $395 and matching loveseat for $325 - both are in excellent condition




stunning, pristine condition sofa for $425





wonderful one drawer entry/sofa table! Measures: 15" by 30" and stands 29" tall. 
In very good condition and priced $65





two matching side chairs - both in good condition and priced $85 each




Room & Board metal console table in taupe finish. Measures: 12" by 60" and stands 29" tall. I spied some scratches in the finish on one side but overall this is a fabulous piece! 
Retails for $599. Our price is $195



similar metal console table - this one measures: 14" by 44" by 30" and is priced $65




excellent condition Ethan Allen sofa for $325




very nice side chair for $135



excellent condition Room & Board loveseat - from their Jasper Collection - priced $695. The only issue is - that black netting material you typically find underneath a sofa is missing








my google searches let me down in trying to find out more about this FANTASTIC dining room set! Made in India and there's the solid wood table (39" by 86 1/2") with TWO benches and TWO chairs. All solid wood and heavy! Benches are generous in size allowing individuals with - ahem - larger bums to sit comfortable! I LOVE a bench since it allows you to squeeze extra folks in easily! 
Truly in pristine condition! Gorgeous set! Priced $1,295 for all

UPDATE: amazing blog reader, Lisa, emailed me that she thought this dining set is from Nadeau Furniture - each piece is handcrafted in India. Here's a link to the site (thank you, Lisa!)

I had time to write most of this post yesterday, dear reader - so able to post super early! I'll end by simply saying it's okay to not be okay - as long as you're basically okay or know eventually you'll be slightly okay. If that doesn't make sense - that's okay too and I love you all!
