I was raised in a family who mark occasions. My mother was the original DIYer who created amazing birthday parties for each of us five kids (I remember one which included a small cloth doll – that my mom made - for each of my friends sitting as the centerpiece on the dining room table with ribbons connecting them to a place setting). Gathering family and friends to celebrate both the large – and small – events of life is a way of affirming both the person being honored (“Yay – good for you”!) and the importance of community.
Community is also a huge part of what we do at Bobs Furniture. Connecting with our customers is something we work hard at doing (whether you buy something or not). Wanting to affirm uniquely you and connect in some small but meaningful way – is very important to all of us at the furniture store.
You just want to shop our amazing selection of quality used furniture without anyone bugging you? We understand and respect that too! We’re all pretty good at picking up on the “thanks, but no thanks don’t need/want any help” vibe!
And what might you find if you stopped in the store either today from 1 to 8 or tomorrow from 9 to 4? Let’s take a look at some of the furniture donated this week!
this is a way cool sofa/bed by Innovation and is in excellent condition – though some minor fading – and priced $295
okay – this accordion is something I donated – been in my husband’s family for years – case is pretty battered and there’s a hole in the bellow – yet a beautiful instrument – and priced only $30
this is a FABULOUS three piece sectional – yet all the seat cushions (and some of the back cushions) have weird bleach-like spots (see last photo) on BOTH sides – the main body of the sectional is fine (go figure). Looks great from a distance (?). Priced $275
lovely burgundy velvet dining chairs – priced $150 for all four; glass and brass dining table is $425 (measures 6’ x 41 1/2”)
this sweet four drawer dresser was hand-painted by one of my volunteers – and I love it – priced $75
wonderful button-back loveseat (needs to be cleaned) priced $95; three panel folding screen for $25; mahogany end table for $65 each (there are two of them)
here’s the second mahogany end table – you can see the leather insert better in this photo – again, priced $65 each; love the needle-point foot stool which is priced $15

wonderful sofa in good condition priced $125; matching loveseat – also in good condition – priced $75
Though there are many disadvantages to Bobs Furniture only being open two days each week (I’m sorry – but there’s nothing we can do about it right now!) – one advantage is how it feels a little like a celebration when we do open!
So, dear reader, I hope amazing, one-of-a-kind you can come celebrate with us, ‘cause – sing with me now – We are family…!
