Good grief! Almost forgot to post!

I was merrily working and thinking to myself how glad I was that I was basically caught up with all incoming donation inquiries and feeling like I had some breathing space for the first time in a long time WHEN I REALIZED I HADN'T DONE THE BLOG! Yikes! 

Without further ado - here are some photos I snapped yesterday at our Carol Stream location. As always - these represent the very TIP of the iceberg! We have SO MUCH INVENTORY. Like a crazy amount (thus why I haven't had time to breathe in the last week or so) AND there's the Lombard store too! 

Shall we take a look? Yes, let's! 














be still my heart! Retro Drexel chest of drawers for $225, two matching nightstands - one is $65 (finish on top is damaged) and the other $75 and a dresser for $225. Other than the damage on the one nightstand these pieces are in excellent condition! Absolutely LOVE the wooden pulls that appear to be part of a single piece of wood that is stained darker and adds a perfect accent! 
Just a note - the top drawers are kinda shallow 




very cool ROLLING island with wine rack! Measures: 2' by 3' and stands 34 1/2" tall. 
Excellent condition and priced $145




lovely dining set that includes table (44" by 68") with two leaves (each 14" wide) and six chairs (two with arms). Some dings in the wood but overall very nice! Priced $325




this incredible mission style library table was purchased from us and then re-donated! It's stunning and if you the space - oh my goodness you NEED this! Measures: 3' by 8' and has protective glass on top (there is a chip in the glass). Priced $195







another gorgeous Room and Board table! This one is cherry wood and measures 3' by 5' - there is a ding on the edge but otherwise so, so pretty! Priced $395. We have six  A. Sibau (made in Italy) dining chairs that are in excellent condition and we're selling them for $295 for all six! 





six ladder back chairs with rush seats (two with arms) around the library table I just showed you - priced $125 for all six and all are in very good condition! 



sweet 29" square table with two chairs for $95 for the set!




wonderful wrought iron with green patina baker's rack with wooden shelves - rustic and wonderful looking! Could see on a covered porch but the wooden shelves probably can't be in the direct elements without eventually rotting. Measures: 15" at the deepest by 78" tall and is 37" across. Priced $175







stunningly gorgeous and super comfortable ELECTRIC reclining leather sofa! 
Both ends recline. In excellent condition and priced $795

Again, there's so much more inventory in both Carol Stream and Lombard, dear reader! Oh - and we WILL be open our normal hours this week (so open on Good Friday - FYI). Thanks!

In case it got lost in everything I shared last week - our décor sale continues!

I don't have anyone to introduce this week - so let's take a look at some of the new-to-us pieces I noticed at our Carol Stream store!














though there are some nicks in the wood of this Marge Carson bedroom set - it's still a show stopper! Starting with the armoire - I measured and you can fit a 60" flat screen TV. FYI. The armoire is priced $175. There are two - three drawer nightstands and the tops of both of these pieces show the most wear/scratches. They're priced $65 each. King size ultra suede upholstered headboard with a low footboard and side rails is $225 (USED king size mattress and a set of USED king size box springs haven't been priced yet but are NOT included in the bed price). And then the nine drawer dresser is $125. If you purchased the whole set it would total $655 but we have a deal for you! Buy the whole set and pay $575 (plus tax) a savings of $80! Woot! 




gorgeous queen size canopy bed for $325 and in excellent condition. Used size queen mattress 
and box spring - again haven't been priced yet (sorry!)



twin size Tempur-pedic adjustable bed WITH mattress for $325




fun "bling-y" king size headboard, low footboard and side rails for $145. 
USED Cal king size mattress for $325 (set of box springs not priced yet)













very different style than the bedroom set I started this post with - but this one is in excellent condition and so, so sweet! We have two matching - two drawer nightstands for $75 each. Tall chest of drawers for $265. Six drawer dresser for $225. The only thing is - these pieces all, at some point, had protective glass on top of them. The glass is gone but the felt pads are still there and need to be removed. The post-it notes inside the drawers noting where each drawer goes is another reason why I love our donors!




very cool mid-century modern queen size headboard with metal bed frame for $85. 
USED queen size box spring for $50









I looked at all four of these upholstered Claremont Furniture dining chairs - and they are in very good condition! Priced $145 for all four. STUNNING Ethan Allen dining table ( 38" by 62") in 
excellent condition and priced $475





two matching side chairs - both are in excellent condition and have two throw pillows - 
priced $225 each



Pembrook Chair Corp. side chair - also in excellent condition - and priced $155





two piece dark gray micro suede sectional in very good condition for $525. 
Retro Tommy Traveler suitcase for $45




another Marge Carson creation (for Walter E. Smithe) - very good condition 
brown velvet sofa for $275






Classic Gallery three piece curved sectional in very good condition and priced $295








two matching Lexington brand sofas - both of them need to be cleaned - 
but structurally they're good! Priced $195 each




oh man - this mid-century modern wooden sofa frame is INCREDIBLE! There are two original back boosters and then we found two seat cushions that kind of work - selling everything for $425






I kind of wonder if I missed something with this Room & Board leather recliner because - though some minor stains - it's amazing! Priced $165 (which I think is cheap!). AND it's super comfortable! 



and when I was sitting in the R&B leather recliner (that I still can't believe is only $165!) I looked to my left and spied this piece of framed artwork and these men and their expressions are so intriguing that I want to make up a whole story about what they're looking at and why they seem to be exclaiming! Priced $25

And with that artwork mystery I'll wrap up today's post, dear reader! Haha! Take care!
