Can't have pets where you live? Adopt Spike, the junk yard dog

Spike is a great dog to have around. Incredibly cute.
 Might scare away unwanted cats.

Spike can hold things for you when your hands are full.

Spike is always in a good mood. This is his happy face.

If he's still on this craigslist ad, Spike is still available.

Oh, and this is the vintage IKEA chair Spike sat on to have his picture taken
It's on craigslist, too.

Very cool and stylish. Plywood seat and back molded to a comfortable shape,
 painted tomato red, supported by snazzy metal frame.

In the raw weather, I hesitate to fill up the sidewalk with alluring merchandise, but there's not much choice if I want our customers to be able to get into The Living Room.

What the van brought in...

Here's a quick peek at why we should subtitle our business "Ado Annie's Consignment", although unlike Ado Annie, we believe we are only saying yes to quality offers. It's just that there's a lot of quality furniture out there to be consigned, and sometimes, we "cain't say no":

   
Doesn't everyone want a 7' tall silk corn cane plant in their entry? No need to water, just dust it off every so often. ($68)
We also have two of the ever-popular IKEA-style, white melamine cupboards. These have cheerfully colored door handles. 30” x 15” x 48” tall: lots of storage in there! (UDPATE: 1 left, at $75)


And for those of you wanting more room at the table, here's a dining room set worthy of your consideration: 

6' x 44" table top with sort of a frontier style. Two 18" end-additions make plenty of room for the 10 (!) handsome Windsor chairs included in this set. ($750)
 


Are 10 chairs just a scosche too many? Here's a beautiful trestle table with carved, beaded accent and 8 sturdy chairs for your friends and relations. Rounded rectangular top measures 72" long x 42" wide, plus 2 leaves stored under the table add 12" each. ($825):
  




    
Charming reproduction cheval mirror, 5' tall in its oak swivel stand ($48), and classic wingback/ottoman pairing ($125). (UPDATE: both mirror and chair set sold.)

    
Genuine Thonet bentwood rocker (now half-price at $125), and little girl's dream canopy 4-poster ($199).

That's just part of what's new at The Living Room, with more coming tomorrow. Hope you will come by soon for tea and treasure!
