In the store: Bedrooms, case goods and chairs

Yesterday's post showed some really large pieces of furniture that are new in the store. The Drexel Precedent dining set sold today, as did the glass-front credenza.

In addition to the Precedent dining set, we had also picked up  a Precedent desk that has drawers on both sides, a large teak wall unit and a teak room divider. In addition, we got several pieces of Broyhill Saga bedroom furniture, as well as a bedroom set from the 1952 Town and Country Flair collection by Barney Flagg for Crawford Furniture. We also found two pairs of Danish chairs, one in an oatmeal color and the other in gold. Before I could even post about them, the oatmeal set sold, and one of the gold ones did too.

The SIL also brought in five boxes of smalls and a super-cool metal sculpture. Not to be outdone, I've been buying smalls like crazy. I'll be posting about them soon. There are so many new things to look at that it boggles the mind! We've been buying so much, in fact, that we outgrew the enclosed trailer we bought a few weeks ago and had to buy a larger one. This is the kind of "busy" we love to be.

Hooray for auctions and cooler weather!

Chalk up another auction success for my SIL. This one was "out in the country," and he's going to one in an even more rural location today.

Yesterday's score was a full set of Broyhill Saga bedroom furniture with those great little carved "star" accents...bed, dresser and mirror, chest and two nightstands.  It needs a little cleaning and polishing, but otherwise it's in great shape. I'm only going to tease you with a couple of the auction house photos in this post, but it will be in the store soon and properly photographed for inclusion on the website and our Facebook page.

At least I think it will make it to the floor. He went out of state Friday to pick up the rest of the set to go with the Kent-Coffey Wharton dresser we had and delivered it to the lucky buyer without ever taking it out of the trailer.

We finally had a break in the awful 106-degree weather we've been having for weeks, and the cooler temperatures put people in the mood to come out and shop, I think. Things have flown out of the store the past couple of days: a great black triple-light floor lamp, a bright blue bullet planter, the Braun stereo, the dining set with the great fabric on the chairs, the sideboard that looks so good with that dining set, the Wormley Precedent dresser/desk, a cute little Herman Miller Eames fiberglass rocker and a bunch of smalls. Things have been selling well in the Etsy store too, so now we're working on an eBay store, which we'll announce formally soon.

All in all, it's been a great weekend so far. Hope yours is going well too!
