Where to purchase Hickory Chair and Century furniture
Comments (1)I see you live in New Jersey.....close enough to drive down to Farmville, Virginia to visit the amazing Green Front Furniture. It's a furniture/Oriental carpet/accessories store that consists of 9 old tobacco warehouse converted into an amazing furniture experience. They carry high and mid grades of furniture, including Hickory Chair and Century, at discounted prices. They carry thousands of hand-knotted Oriental carpets from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and other locations .. "the equivalent of 5 football fields of Oriental carpets". It's definitely worth a drive down...there are B&Bs or local lodging and some nice restaurants for a weekend. I especially recommend Charley's Waterfront Cafe actually located at Green Front -- excellent food, good wine list and a great way to relax and unwinde after a fabulous day of shopping. Check out the web link I've attached. Beth, who has purchased furniture and many Oriental carpets there. Here is a link that might be useful: Green Front Furniture...See MoreNOT my typical chair re-do, but no animals were harmed!
Comments (30)lazygardens, I think I was writing up my reply and didn't see your post earlier. I don't know the brand, but this is it, on sale now for $3.99 a yard at Barn Fabrics through 5/27. I got this email just today. Well, GW will NOT let me add a link to it right now, but look for MS-1058 when you to the Barn site. - 'To all our web customers: Happy Memorial Day Now until Memorial Day all the following fabrics will be offered at $3.99 per yard. *Upholstery (U), *Drapery (D only, not DM), *Microsuede (MS) and *Outdoor (O only, not ORT) on our website, www.barnfabriccenter.com, . Please add 'Memorial Day Sale' to the Special Instructions/Comment Section at check out to receive the discount. Discounts will not be applied without this code.' The back of this chair was done in their MS-1057, Palance Pueblo. This one is heavier than the one on the seat of the Spanish chair. BEFORE - Bee, I have seen 'religious chairs' here on my CL looking very similar. I recall one being called a 'church chair'. It's very nice, but I prefer ones that need more fabric! I wouldn't pay that for it, either. I know the stools could be great done in the same fabric and finish but I want so badly to do them differently! I may do a pair the same, though. The current cushions lift off for them to BE little tables. They are great. Mary Ruth, you sweet cheerleader! Thank you so much!...See MoreRemembering 9/11: where were you?
Comments (45)What a different world it was before 9/11. I was at work in downtown Minneapolis getting ready to help out with a United Way fundraiser event in our office. My co-worker in the cubical next to mine just stood up and said the World Trade Center had been hit by an airplane. As the saying goes, the commonest things happen most commonly, and I immediately thought of the World Trade building in St. Paul and the tiny downtown airport there and knew it must have been a terrible accident. Terrorism never even occurred to me. It wasn't until I went to the internet that I understood what was going on. I had a very close friend who was a flight attendant for United at the time and she called to let me know she was alright. She was in absolute shock, watching TV and telling me that a second airplane had hit the towers as we were on the phone. My husband was working in St. Paul at an office that faced southeast. He watched plane after plane head into landing formation towards the airport. The airplanes in the air were simply told to land at whatever airport was nearest and the huge Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport could take a lot of traffic. The rumors began that the Sears Tower was going to be hit next and the IDS Center in downtown Minneapolis, so our company told us all to go home. Out in the suburbs, my brother-in-law and nephew immediately went to donate blood when all of the eastern hospitals were gearing up for the thousands and thousands of wounded patients they were expecting. As we know, that didn't happen. I used to walk to and from work, and when we went back to work the next day, it was incredibly strange to hear the silence. No airplanes were allowed in the sky for several days and it was soooo quiet. The Sunday following the attack, church ended and people began leaving and the choir began singing The Battle Hymn of the Republic ("Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord....") and everyone just stopped in their tracks and began singing. It makes me tear up just to type this. A member of my book club made a strange statement that still haunts me. It was 6-9 months after 9/11 and she said some of her co-workers were STILL wearing small flag pins on their lapels every day. She couldn't understand it and thought that it was appropriate right after 9/11 but that enough time had passed and that people should now put that kind of thing away. Thank God people won't ever forget 9/11....See MoreWhere did you first notice you were blowing the budget?
Comments (12)About the time I got home on the first day of digging and the excavator walked up and said, "well, we've got a problem here...". Turned out to be not as bad as finding ledge, but our site is pure sand that meant he had to dig a bigger hole due to the walls falling in and had to do a lot more moving material around to fit on the site. (We were on the beach about 40M years ago and apparently there is about 180 feet of beach sand under our house. We warned the guy about the sand, based on other holes we had dug, but he dismissed it as "not possible". Hah!)...See More- 4 years ago
