Or this one?

The first one is $375 - which is actually 75% off what it was at one point when the furniture store was open. It's from a company called Bramble that makes antique reproductions and similar.

The second one sold over the weekend.

If we had the room I'd buy that first one in a heartbeat.

I've got similar Bramble pieces in different colors - grey and creamyish off white. You can see them in the background here: http://www.woodworkcreations.com/cle...e/target5.html

They range from $275 to $420. They are all the "shabby chic" sort of style.

I normally hate shabby chic, but that one just works for me. I think the combo of it being dark rather than the usual white/creamy shabby chic and just the fact that the form is so wonderful. Also, at least in the picture, something about it looks more genuinely worn than purposely shabbified.

Yeah - I'm at that point myself. Nothing else can go in the house unless something comes out. Of course, I've said that before and it didn't last very long. But now I really mean it - after I brought it all that other stuff there REALLY isn't room for more.

The bonus though was that we were able to create a nice sitting area in our bedroom with 2 comfy chairs we had in the living room and an end table. Our little retreat from the kids.

Betty, I'm seriously considering that first piece. I love it. Do you have a downpayment or layaway process available?

Betty · 10-05-2010, 03:00 PM

We do for custom cabinetry but because these things are on clearance, it's first come, first served, no returns, all sales final, as is, no delivery... I think that about covers it.

Sorry. I can tell you if it's still here when/if you'd like to know. I can also knock 10% off the price which would make it $337 - but that's all I've been allowed to discount.

However, if you say wanted to put down 50% one week and pick it up a week or two later, I could probably convince them to do that. I doubt they would go for longer though.

LSPoorEeyorick · 10-05-2010, 03:10 PM

OK. I imagine it's first-come physically at the store?

Betty · 10-05-2010, 03:13 PM

I can take your credit card by phone and hold it for a few days if that works for you.
