be good news for shoppers.
If you see some telephone-related
pieces, these are especially likely to
be from their collection, as both
worked for telecom companies in a
previous life. Among the dozens of
pieces of furniture currently at the
warehouse, there are also several
pieces from their home, such as 5
a gorgeous small 1930s dresser 6
painted pink and boasting the exact
type of shabby look that so many 3
people try to imitate today with
sandpaper!

Furniture is in fact the biggest- 7
selling line this summer. Currently
the Warehouse has tables, chairs, 8
desks, book shelves, hutches,
dressers, vanities and sideboards
in good supply. And of course, if a
buyer wants a piece to be painted
the latest trend in Southwest Florida
Diane will be happy to do it or teach
the buyer to DIY it.
Finally, it's worth keeping in
mind that prices are so low at
the Warehouse that dealers from
around Florida buy there frequently
more good news for buyers as well
as the dealers who pick at the
Warehouse.
The Warehouse's hours
are Thursday 9 a.m. - 4p.m.
