Only 1 sofa left, now the tables reign...

Our recent sofa wave has crested, leaving just one large and handsome chenille brocade davenport available at The Living Room Consignment & Tea.

Now the tables are in ascension, some with chairs and hutches in attendance,

some performing solo until they go to their new homes:

Quality-built Martin Furniture computer desk needs new home!

This solidly-built desk was $2,000 at Costco Home.
No pressed wood here: the dark wood surface completely wraps the 3/4" non-warping plywood frame, including the back.

Heavy, dark brass drawer pulls. Smooth metal drawer slides.

Designed to be set up as L-shaped desk, but unlike many L-desks, can also be set up as 2 independent work stations.

Main desk is 68.25" wide x 32" deep x 29" tall. Has 3-drawer stack with a file drawer, plus 26" wide pencil drawer.

The right-hand return (or 2nd work station) is 48" x 20.75"; has a 35.5" keyboard tray with a built-in mouse pad; houses the computer garage, 2 cubby drawers.

Built-in surge protector/power strip, labeled "Martin Furniture", has 5 plug-ins plus phone and fax input.

There are a few scratches, but this is a very handsome desk. The consignor hates to part with it, but is moving out of the area.

Priced for a quick sale: See our current craigslist ad for pricing and availability.

New consignments have arrived...some momentarily!

Eileen and Yvonne had a lot of fun this morning rearranging everything to make room for another big, new consignment. When the truck arrived in the mid-afternoon, the new pieces had barely come through the door when alert shoppers snatched up about half of them. We love it when that happens!

Here are some of the interesting and beautiful items that remain for your consideration...
(Please see our craigslist ad for current pricing and availability.)
  .
~ This beautiful, mahogany-toned, wooden china cabinet is relatively new, in excellent condition.
Graceful lines, subtle carving. 5'7" wide x 19" deep x 7' tall.

~ The vintage wool blanket is probably from the 1930s.
It's 62" x 78", thick and warm. The pink roses are in reverse pattern on each side. 

.
~ We have a 1999 art calendar from Teatro Italiano featuring 12 prints of Commedia Dell Arte' characters in period costumes, suitable for framing.

. .
~ These 6 Chinese plates have beautiful floral patterns in an aqua palette.
The plates come in pairs, 8", 9" and 10". Discount available for multiples.
They make a stunning display on the vintage cherry-wood china hutch that came in last week.

This Lewisburg hutch can be see in this craigslist ad: http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/hsd/3022604082.html

Thanks for looking! We hope you'll visit again soon. 

Come for tea and shop for a treasure.

A true Papa Bear's chair...a large and soothing rocker

Large wooden rocking chair, a true "Papa Bear Chair", this one has a great rock to it.

  . 

  . 



We've found that rocking chairs each have their own feel; you need to find a good match for you, so come try this for a test rock and see if it's "just right" for you! If you can bring a little one to hold, so much the better :^)


This one has a few scratches, but it's in good shape and has great style! I love the gold banding, the Old World stenciling, and the little spheres set in the back and as the finials.

For current price and availability, check out the craigslist ad for this item: http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/fud/2955596752.html

Thank you for shopping and spending wisely :^)

Gotta appreciate this ornate coffee table. (UPDATE: SOLD) It's like a favorite pair of jeans: stylish and already worn in. You don't have to worry about putting the first scratch in the finish :^)

Just admire the craftsmanship and enjoy its cuteness!

The little mystery horse UPDATE: an Andalusian!

30" long and 24" tall. Lively. Not a toy. Wooden. Carved. Painted. Decorated with mirror tiles forming saddle and ornament. Not too old, as the plastic appears to be a resin-based material glued on and then decorated with mirror tiles. Perhaps 50 years old?

What can you tell me about this little mystery horse? UPDATE: Juan and Lisa of Guemos Tacos were shopping in The Living Room today, and were able to identify our little wooden beauty as a Spanish horse of Andalusia. I was ignorant of this breed, and glad to learn of them.

Here is a quote about Andalusians from a webpage tracing the lineage of the beautiful, dancing Lippizan stallions:

Elegant and showy, with noble head and beautifully curved neck, the Andalusian became the show horse of its time. With its loose gait, pliant strong limbs and dancing movements, the Andalusian possessed a fiery temperament coupled with a docile attitude and it was obedient and highly trainable.

I do believe this little mare is dancing...
