Jubilee Furniture weekly update post for Thursday, November 13, 2014

Maybe it’s the recent drop in temperature. Maybe I’m longing for bright lights to chase away the dark and the gloom. Maybe it’s the fact I’ve been seeing Christmas merchandise in stores for MONTHS now so it feels long past due – but I’ve been tempted to get out my Christmas decorations – something I’ve never, EVER done before Thanksgiving (and have been a little judgmental of those who do – truth be told).

So, I might have let out a delighted gasp when I saw the store had Christmas stuff out when I was there last night taking photos. There’s not tons but enough Christmas plates and small decorations to make the place feel festive and holiday-ish!

We have a very talented team of volunteers (photo in sidebar is somewhat out of date – though many pictured are still part of the current design team) who create the beautiful vignettes and do the decorating and they do a SUBPREB job! I always enjoy walking into the store each week to see what magic they’ve created!

And let’s take a look at some of the pieces they had to work with this week – shall we…(remember the Furniture Gallery is another way to view our inventory):

JFC 11-13-14 019JFC 11-13-14 020

there are three of these dark brown leather chairs – all in pretty good condition – priced $25 each

JFC 11-13-14 029JFC 11-13-14 030

this is a FANTASTIC long table (7’6” x 3’) donated by the Carol Stream, Public Library (aren’t libraries amazing places?!). Solid. Top is Formica (I think) and it does have a weird part that’s damaged/lighter (see it in the second photo?). Still a great piece (can you tell I love it?). Priced $75

JFC 11-13-14 037JFC 11-13-14 038

boy-oh-boy – look at the lines of these SIX chrome chairs – yes, you’d probably want to re-upholster them (not that the current upholstery is bad but the formal material doesn’t quite match the more modern arms/base – though to each their own!). Price for all six is $180

JFC 11-13-14 039JFC 11-13-14 040

Haha! How fun is this black micro-fiber chair with the curvy arms? VERY FUN! Priced $65

JFC 11-13-14 041JFC 11-13-14 042

JFC 11-13-14 043JFC 11-13-14 044

this is a cool retro three piece lighted storage set. Smoked glass, chrome trim, white door and drawer fronts – in great condition. Middle piece has a drop down writing desk (or bar?). Selling them individually. Priced $145 each

JFC 11-13-14 045JFC 11-13-14 046

here’s another café height table – this time square – with two stools – priced $85 (this is a fantastic deal!)

more fabulous leather! This time by Ashley Furniture and both pieces are in excellent condition! The sofa is priced $325 and the matching loveseat is $275

So, dear reader – if you need a little pick-me-up today, tomorrow or Saturday I’d highly recommend a stop in the store to revive your spirits and put a smile on your face!

No construction photos this week ‘cause it was too stinkin’ dark when I got to the store at 5:00 p.m. to take any!
