Hi Friends!

How are you? This past Sunday was the last day of being part of the interior designer show house to raise money for the Albany Symphony Orchestra. If you didn’t see it yet, go here to see the porch project at the Vanguard Showhouse.  All of the pieces in that room will be for sale at our store later this week or you can purchase by using our Contact Us form to request an invoice.
Another exciting news event! We were voted the #2 furniture store in the Capital District by the readers of the Capital Region Living magazine!! I could NOT believe it!! The #1 spot went to Mooradians furniture which has been in business for 75 years. I’ll definitely take the #2 spot after them. Thank you to all who voted!! We are honored!

If you’d like to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post. We painted this with Sherman William’s color Rainwashed and glazed it to deepen the color a bit. Here it is with a mirror and chair! Isn’t it the cutest little vanity now?
