Pottery Barn furniture

I have a friend that is interested in selling the Pottery Barn furniture in her son's bedroom. The distressed black twin bed, chest of drawers, nightstand, gas pump, television and lamp are all included at $900. This furniture is not in the store but arrangements can be made to see it at your convenience. As you can probably imagine she paid a lot more than this for the ensemble but she needs to make some changes in sleeping arrangements because of another baby on the way. Congratulations to her family and to the lucky person that purchases this set for such a great price!

Lamps

I had a customer in the store today looking for good quality lamps at a reasonable price. I have in the past been lucky with a few suppliers purchasing lamps at great prices - new ones! However, they still aren't cheap. Unfortunately, I have to pay so much that I still have to ask $70-$100 EACH. I have learned the hard way that you get what you pay for when purchasing lamps. TJ Maxx has some great looks but they NEVER last. The ones I have loved always have some damage or break very easily. Target has cute ones too, but if you have to buy the shade and the other parts it adds up very quickly and you are investing over $100. We try to put some of our good lamps on the website. We will be happy to pass along any great deals that we may find in the near future.

Paint Class for Fall

Interested in painting your own furniture??? Well, we have just the class for you. We have spent the summer wrapping up a few projects that took a little longer than the four week session and now we are ready to start again. The only problem is that I will be having shoulder surgery next week and we will have to allow time for me to heal. So, October sounds good. Call us 336-229-3699 to sign up!

Green Solutions

Sherwin Williams has introduced a new area on their web site discussing the ways that they can help minimize impact of air quality and maximize performance of their product. It doesn't really address the chemicals used to make the paint but there are some helpful hints and good basic information that we could all learn from. Things like how we wash our painting utensils is important to our environment as well as how many times you paint a room. Isn't once really enough. Make sure you have the right color the first time and it will save you money and save our environment. Check it out at http://www.sherwin-williams.com/pro/green/

CBK TAKES PART IN ABC’S
EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION

CBK, one of the country’s leading wholesalers of quality home décor, gifts, and accessories, is pleased to announce that the company’s home accessories as well as items from its popular Casa Cristina licensed product line, were asked to be a part of the season finale episode of ABC’s hit TV show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is committed to rebuilding or renovating homes of deserving families in just seven days. Each episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition features a talented design team, contractors and several hundred volunteers who work around-the-clock to rebuild an entire house including the exterior and landscaping in the seven day time span. In the season five finale, 18 builders from 12 different states gathered to make Extreme Makeover: Home Edition history by rebuilding not only a home for the Usea family, but also to rebuild Noah’s Ark Missionary Baptist Church which sustained heavy damage when Hurricane Katrina ripped through New Orleans, Louisiana in 2005.

CBK donated several home décor items from different product categories, including its Antiquity Collection lanterns, Hacienda Collection cabinet with an iron stand, table and floor lamp set, Fleur De Lis Bookends and an ottoman. From the Casa Cristina Collection™, a starburst design mirror; cream marble top tables, filigree oval mirrors, wall décor, a 3-panel folding floor screen, octagonal mirrors, and multi-sided mirrors were included.

“There is no doubt that the work completed on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition touches peoples’ lives in such a deep and meaningful way,” said Terry Stewart, President of CBK. “It is a tremendous honor for CBK to have been asked to participate in this family’s story. We hope that others can appreciate the dedication and commitment of the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition crew as they continue to make a difference, and in many ways become heroes to those whose lives they have touched.”
