Room No 3

I've been crazy busy! Sorry for my extended absence. We have a surprise brewing in the store. A very talented antique dealer is moving in! Chambre Nom Trois is the name of her space. I will be updating you on this exciting addition.

Eye Candy

I thought I would share with you ladies some of the new items that are coming in both from market and our refurbished furniture finds.

One of the neatest items is this really neat moss! It feels real and adds great greenery to any
display.

We have all kinds of cool crown items. The sweet little green birds are going fast @ 6.89 each and I've already had to re-order!

This beautiful french secretary is lovely, very detailed carvings.


I love the chocolate and cream pattern on this chair.


What do you ladies think about the grey color on this marble top washstand?

Anyone need storage? This 4 door wardrobe will do the trick.
Or
Do you need a quaint table and seating? The bar stools are a steal at $198.00 for the pair.

Lots and Lots of Furniture!!!

We have been really busy bring in furniture and re-vamping the store.


Take a look at this beautiful table. The picture does not do it justice...it has a gorgeous wood inlay design on the top.

This is a cute wavy glass on metal table. It's a perfect tint of aged green and rusted metal.

I love this round white table. Love the carvings around the base too.

Unique piece with a leaded glass door front. Great for storage and display!

This piece can be used as a hutch to hold dishes or a bookcase since it has a pull out desk.


Awesome ball and claw foot buffet......


This black oval table extends 14 inches on each side. You will be able to seat a big dinner party.


Now this piece is my favorite....I was tempted to keep it in my home. I tried really hard to find a spot for it and am still thinking about it.

Hope you all stop by soon!

Do you need......

Do you need a entry hall piece? Maybe this white carved chest would work? It has awesome swag detailing....just beautiful.


Or do you need a cute twin size pink bed. Maybe you are re-doing your teenagers room?


If you get the bed, you will need the pink vanity too!

Or how about this candy apple red chest ?
After doing all that shopping you will need this bench to place at the end of your bed and rest awhile. :)

Decorating with Bird Cages

We have all kinds of bird cages in our shop right now. I personally love decorating with birdcages in my own home. I love hanging them on the wall as a piece of art. I also like sitting them on a piece of furniture with bird nests, botanical prints, or sometimes a small lamp to make it glimmer. These are ones we currently have available.
