OPEN MONDAYS, TOO, in a world of armoires and hutches...

Just in time to welcome our new, extended days, we have taken several new armoires and china cabinets on consignment. Come see them before they get overrun with the little housewares that keep trying to fill the shop!

Here's a very handsome specimen to give you a preview:

Beautiful, traditional styling in modern, wooden armoire. ~44" x 22" x 78" tall, plus crown molding.

Doors are paneled in darker wood. The satin finish accentuates the grain. Rests on square pillow feet.

Interior shelves can be removed if closet rod (included) is installed for hanging clothes. 2 big drawers, as well. If cabinet is used for media, the cutouts for cords are lined with metal, a sign of the thoughtfulness in design and construction.

The consignor hates to part with this high-quality piece, purchased for over $1200 a few years ago, but it doesn't fit in their new home.

Check our craigslist ad for current pricing and availability.

Enjoy our NEW HOURS: OPEN Monday through Saturday 10am-6pm, and by appointment. Closed Sunday.

Antique sewing basket from early 1900s

This antique, woven sewing basket looks like one my grandmother used. I see them on ebay listed as "Chinese sewing baskets", so that's what I'm calling it. This is 12" diameter, with lots of space for sewing accessories and skeins of crewel yarns or embroidery silks.

Here's the link to our ebay listing for this basket:

A collection of places to sit and eat. Is dinner ready yet?

Some of these have been blogged before, but I wanted to sweep all our current dining spots into one portfolio for you:


1) Reproduction clawfoot oak pedestal table + 4 beautiful pressback chairs. $248

   

Table is 42" diameter plus a single 17.75" leaf. It is so tempting to put nail polish on those claw-feet toenails! Chairs and table are completely sturdy, with some surface wear.  Enjoy the detailing and the beautiful pattern pressed into the chairs.



2) Versatile, narrow-to-wide, drop-leaf table with center extension leaf. Beautifully refinished oak with 4 cushioned wood chairs. 36" length, starts with a narrow 24" width, extends to 33" or 43" partially opened, to 56" wide with all leaves in place. $265




3) Gorgeous, mid-century modern table by Drexel. 42" rounded rectangle, with 4 chairs and 2 sidechairs (one of which needs repair). Reduced to $340 for all.




4) Parson's table. Light-tone wood veneer. 31.5" x 47.5". Bolt-on squared legs. $65

7) Perfect setting for teddy-bear tea! Little table and 2 bentwood, cane chairs in cheery red. Underpriced, for sure: $58




8) Very nice, hardwood table, country styling. Goes from 48" round to 66" oval with 1 big leaf. $125

10) 2 wrought iron counter chairs or bar stools (24" seat height, plus cushion). Very well made, heavy and sturdy. $150/pair




11) 3 country kitchen chairs in hunter green and hardwood. $35 each or $90 for all 3




12) Oh, how could I forget the amazing, one-of-a-kind faux-stone table, with its wall-hung storage and matching table lamp? $700
Someone had a lot of fun designing and creating these pieces! Big and sturdy enough for a myriad of uses: dining, crafting, artwork, study, sewing...

   

Table measures 46" x 78" and sits on two large pedestals decorated with palm trees. Constructed of wood and hand-painted to evoke ancient workmanship in stone and tile. With its own "broken" and detachable corner, to evoke ruins.


13) That elevating coffee table above would make a great relaxed dining spot paired with one of our 2 resident couches:

Fascinating patterned lobby sofa, very good condition. $295

Did a nauga give its hyde for this 1960's vinyl and tweed couch? $195.
