What is an easy, inexpensive way to update the look of my home? The fastest way to update any room is to add color! By painting the whole room, or even an accent wall you will see a big difference.

What are the benefits of shopping and selling at a furniture consignment store?
Debbie Greene Owner, Urban Relics Consignment
Shopping at furniture consignment stores is fast becoming a popular source for finding name brand furnishings, antiques, vintage treasures and unique, one-of-a-kind items that ordinarily wouldn’t be found in a big box store, and at a fraction of the cost. Downsizing, re-decorating or moving? Selling our furniture at a consignment store offers a safe way to showcase your furniture without visitors coming to your home. Sellers also benefit from services such as marketing, advertising and merchandising to attract the perfect buyer for your furniture.
Why should I purchase an oriental rug? Oriental rugs have earned their reputation of being magical in part because of their sheer endurance. When they are dirty, they can be washed (unlike wall-to-wall carpeting, which can be surface cleaned only). And when they are injured they can be fixed. Their dyes resist fading and running, and their wool, full of natural oils, keeps many potential stains from penetrating and setting. Rugs are, as they say, very forgiving.
