In the store: A little old, a little new, a lot fabulous

For the past couple of months, we've been clearing out all our merchandise at the old location and stocking the new store. My SIL has made some stellar purchases, and Hank Tosh and Rene Martinez deserve a huge round of applause for the incredible restoration work they've done on a steady stream of pieces.

I could talk about all the new things for paragraphs on end, but I think I will let them speak for themselves.

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.
