Wow – what a week it’s been! Dangerously cold for several days on top of lots of snow. Yikes – I hope everyone is okay.
With very mixed emotions, lots of prayer, special gloves and hats and their agreement – I did send my warehouse guys out to make their scheduled donation pickups this week. Thankfully, everyone survived (though when the heater stopped working on the truck – it was an especially low moment).
A special THANK YOU to all my donors! You physically helped, provided warmth, an extra pair of gloves and were patient when the guys were running a little late due to navigating the impossibly narrow roads in Glen Ellyn (I got a panicky call after a close encounter with three garbage trucks at a four way stop because no one could move since there was only room for a single vehicle on both streets – but even that worked out okay). Phew.
Why would we go to all that trouble in extreme cold to pick up some used furniture? Simple – our donors, customers and Outreach clients are counting on us. Quitting is not an option.
So, we’ve done our part, now I need you to do yours– which is to shop! We’re open today from 1 to 8 and tomorrow from 9 to 4! Come on in and see for yourself what all the hub-bub is about at Bobs Furniture!
here’s a super fun sofa that would be perfect for you English majors out there (or teachers – Peggy, does Jess have space for this sofa in her classroom?) – since it’s covered in the alphabet and Roman numerals (?). In great condition – needs a vacuuming under the cushions as a lot of our furniture does – priced $70
admittedly, this ornate candy dish isn’t everyone’s taste – but it would certainly be an excellent ice-breaker at any gathering! The glass bowl is cut glass and really very gorgeous. Priced $85
this moss green loveseat and sofa are by Rowe and both are in good condition. The loveseat is priced $60 (first two photos) and the sofa is $80 (second two photos)
these two identical sofas are by Kindel Furniture and – overall – in great shape though some of the loose pillows are coming apart. Priced $75 each
I could not get a good photos of this lighted cabinet – which is really gorgeous. Alas, there’s a small crack in one of the glass panels. Priced $185
I LOVE this Smithe Craft plaid sofa – in excellent condition though needs a few spots cleaned – priced $145; the matching ottoman has some piping issues and is only priced $15
this is a very well made three panel screen which depicts a different woman on each side. The material used reminds me of the sort of thing used to cover a child’s bongo drum (does that makes sense? It’s very light). Priced $45
this three piece sectional was fabulous in its time but was well loved – and used – and the cushions show it – priced $60
another moss green sofa – in good condition – priced $130; matching oversized chair for $70
these pieces have a high lacquer finish that is very attractive. There are two – two drawer night stands which are priced $60 each; then a six drawer dresser for $165. All are in very good condition
I’d buy this sweet round pedestal side table in a heartbeat IF I had somewhere to put it (which I don’t) and IF my husband wouldn’t hate me forever (which he would). Priced $40
lovely glass and metal shelving unit – priced $125
this table matches the shelving unit and is priced $90 (the cool retro yellow chairs aren’t new – but priced $65 each and are amazing!)
one piece lighted china cabinet priced $95; matching table with 2 leaves, 4 chairs (one has arms) and table pads – all for $135
cool micro-suede minty green chair with contrasting trim – priced $55
this five piece slip-covered sectional is the buy of the day at only $20. It’s structurally perfect and the slip covers aren’t too bad either (though see how faded that one part is?)
leather chair in good condition priced $45
fun two toned desk for $40 (has a pull out keyboard tray)
There you have it, dear reader – a peek at some of the new—to-us furniture you’ll find at Bobs Furniture this week!
Blessings!
