Gearing up for the Holidays

This past week the Redeux furniture spa has been working overtime getting our latest arrivals of vintage furniture ready for new homes. It is quite a variety!

First, we finally have both a sideboard/server and a china cabinet available. Both are made of mahogany and date from the 1920’s / 1930’s.  They are similar in style.

Secondly, we have the tall chest of drawers, made of cherry, and mentioned in our last post. Simple lines, beautiful graining on the wood.

Lighting. We have several new table lamps ready. Thanks to our panel of “advisers”, we have decided to display some of our lamps with optional shades. 

Tables.  We will have two ready by this weekend. One is a 1950’s porcelain top with two “wing” pop-up extensions. The second is a wood farm table with a nice, mustard yellow painted top.

Chairs. We have had requests for wood chairs that can be caned. A few interesting old chairs have been found and are ready for all you folks wanting to re-cane them yourselves. We’ll also have within a week or so a pair of petite side chairs, newly caned. They are very charming.

Our selection of small decorative items has expanded as well. Several old “reproduction” and original cast metal pieces are in stock. An interesting pair of deco- period polychrome bookends is available. Pottery bowls, glassware and more paperweights are now in the shop.

Our new scented candle selection has been a big hit and our scented drawer liners are also proving to be very popular. Both of these items will be part of our special “holiday gift table”.

Currently in the Redeux spa are a few pieces in the process of getting a multi - step hand painting process. This process respects the age of the particular piece, while giving it a new look. Kind of like turning “Tug-boat Annie” into “Sophia Loren”.  

Pieces we have found that many others might disregard because they were so tired looking  are now getting a completely new life. Ah, the wonders of the Redeux Spa!

We have decided to expand our hours for the holiday season. Starting November 13 Redeux will be open on Sundays, 12:00 - 5:00 P.M.   

We will then also have in place our Special Gift Table with items available for $25.00 and less. Details about our special holiday activities will soon be posted here and sent out via email.

Hope to see you soon,

Bill
