Jubilee Furniture weekly post for Friday, October 4, 2013

I�m typically up by 6:00 a.m. most mornings but, recently, can hardly drag myself out of bed by 6:30 a.m. due to how stinkin� dark it is outside!  It�s like my body is saying � �Oh no you don�t!  If it�s this dark out it must be the middle of the night and there�s no way it�s time to get up!�  With such sound logic it�s hard to argue.

Yet it IS time to get up.

I think resale stores often have to overcome a similar type of thinking.  �Oh, it�s USED so it must be damaged/gross/icky/whatever.� when the truth is we have fabulous inventory.

This week in particular, Jubilee Furniture�s selection contains some of the nicest pieces we�ve ever received!  Partly due to a fantastic donation we received of furniture from two model apartments and partly due to fabulous mint-condition pieces from individual donors.  Truly spectacular.  Let�s take a look.

gorgeous antique Victorian loveseat priced $250

beautiful vintage walnut dressing table for $165; vintage alabaster lamp for $55

here�s a cool antique grape press priced $145.  FYI it needs some work before you�ll be able to start pressing grapes!

from the model apartment: like-new tan micro-suede sofa priced $325; metal and glass coffee table for $75; two matching end tables are priced $55 each

also from the model: like-new round glass top table with four metal chairs with upholstered seats priced $275; matching baker�s rack for $125

this is an absolutely fantastic black leather sofa � crafted in Germany by the W. Schillig furniture company � priced $795.  Only issue I saw was a ding on he wood trim which runs along the front bottom of the piece

wonderful IKEA ROCKER and ottoman � in excellent condition except there appears to be cat hair on the upholstery so priced only $50 for the set

here�s another fabulous leather sofa � this time by Italsofa � in person the leather has a slightly greenish cast � priced $575

oh man � I am in love with this Walter E. Smithe brown plaid sofa with nail-head trim and crisp brown piping!  Alas, there is a rip behind one of the back cushions (second photo - stitch �er up and no one will be the wiser) and a small tear on one of the back corners.  So, there two issues forced the priced down to $65!  This one won�t last long!

sleeper loveseat in great condition priced $125

lovely Remington Rand writing desk with glass top � drawers stick a little but could be due to the humidity in the store right now � priced $145

fantastic cottage style glass top table with four chairs � there is one small rip in one the of the cushions � priced $375 for the set

so sweet and so clever � sewing cabinet turned into small writing desk � LOVE the color! � priced $45

this Woodmark sofa is green with gold woven into the fabric and is in EXCELLENT condition � was simply too big for the donor�s home � priced $395

two oak end tables priced $20 each; matching oak coffee table for $35

here�s another piece I�m in love with � brownish velvet (a little worn on the arms) SWIVEL chair priced $65 � only negative is it sits a little low to the ground (add legs to raise it up?)

nice ROWE side chair priced $50

wonderful five drawer dresser � nicer than IKEA � fronts are a plastic material � priced $65

only received two of these lovely chairs and we�ve priced �em $30 each

golly � this is a fabulous and funky four piece sectional � some of the pieces are in excellent condition some of them are worn and one back section is ripped � so only priced $95; fun glass and stone round side table is $45

this two piece sofa can adjust in different ways � a bit hard to describe in writing but there�s a lever that allows you to swing the �body� of each in different directions (so it�s either oriented like a sofa or like a chaise) � dark blue fabric is somewhat faded and there are several outlines where stains have been cleaned � so only priced $95 for the whole thing

sweet retro two drawer night stand for $15 and armoire is $75 � both by Mount Airy Furniture Co.

here�s a three piece bedroom set by Thomasville � first two photos are of the armoire which is priced $125; next up is a chest of drawers for $95; and finally a long low dresser with mirror for $65.  Dresser top needs a little work but otherwise these pieces are excellent

more furniture from the model home � gorgeous blue plaid sofa for $325; oversize blue chair with matching ottoman priced $165

this FOUR piece entertainment center is unique in that the middle section is in two pieces to make moving it easier � love the white cottage style � priced $375

here are the final pieces from the model � gorgeous dresser with mirror priced $225; queen size head board, foot board and side rails for $185; alas there�s only ONE nightstand and it�s priced $95 (nightstand still has the stretch wrap around the drawers so they won�t open and get damaged when they�re being moved)

Thankfully, it should be nice and light (unless it�s storming) by the time we open today at 1:00 p.m. so there�s no excuse for you not to come by!  Of course, when we close at 8:00 p.m. it will be dark but NIGHTS are supposed to be dark!+ Tomorrow our store hours are from 9 to 4.

Peace to you, dear reader!

Oh and Ashley?  Where have you and Mark been?  Friday nights aren�t the same without you two!
