Where There's A Will, There's A Way (& A Teaser!)

Whaddya do when you're out tootling around town in your little ol' car and you find a big ol' piece of furniture at Room With A Past that you hadn't planned on falling in love with?



You say "I CAN DO THIS" and tote that must-have piece out to said little car,



strap it in or NOT (which we don't recommend) if you're only going, like, um, "just taking the back roads home",



recline a few seats, finagle the door angles (measuring tape? I don't need no stinkin' measuring tape!)



and OFF YOU GO!





Teaser alert:

Who knows Jon? And why was he taking photos with such a professionally-looking stance (and camera) at the February opening at Room With A Past? Details to revealed in April!

Out And About Inside!

Check us out. No really, that's what our customers are saying here!!! They've been all around the shop, have goodies in hand are ready to GO!!! We were ziggin' and zaggin' yesterday as the February sale 2/16 - 19th) was in full swing! Let's see what else is happening!



They're heading down the Hall of Mirrors to see what's up in the rooms down that way.


They're down on their knees looking low (and high!) for deals!


They're making calls to get a second opinion on a one-of-a-kind piece!


They're having some fun wherever we look!


LOOK! We spotted a man! It used to be a rare experience, but the menfolk are catching on to all the great deals to be found. What a great way to find the perfect gift for a significant other!


OK, break time!


And here's the youngest ROOMIE helper we've had in a while-- Kiana Scott came in to play (and keep us on our toes!) with us for the day! Thanks Kiana!


You still have time to join in! Saturday from 9 - 4 PM and Sunday from 10 - 4 PM!

What's Missing?

Well this is embarrassing; here you are expecting to see a magical tour of all the wonderful things we have for February, but something's definitely a-miss! The front display is still in the works, but it's not just that.



Yes, there are a few details yet to be taken care of, it's true, but it's not just that!



There are barren shelves to be filled with little treasures, sure, but something else is missing too.



Yes, we realize we currently lack some sparkle,



some furniture and (unforgettably important!) some baked goods laid out to greet you at the table.


We must apologize that there's not a single speck of fudge, almond roca, or saltwater taffy to offer you at the moment, but it is on it's way!



Don't worry about the walls looking a bit, um, naked shall we say? We've got frames, art and vintage mirrors to fill it all up by the time we open the door.



But there's still something else we need!



Something that we love to see every month, rain or shine, that completes the scene in our store!



It's YOU!



We would miss YOU, so please don't miss us! Our next opening is February 16, 17, 18 & 19th and it wouldn't be the same without YOU!

Little Things Mean A Lot

We're best known for our up-front, fabulously priced dressers, buffets and tables, it's true.

But our most expertly-seasoned customers have a system when shopping at Room With A Past, so they don't miss a (little) thing!



We have lots of darling small-sized, not to be missed things, so cute that you just want to give them a hug when you first spy them!


Some folks like to walk in and circle around one way, then head back another way, so they get a whole new vantage point!


Other customers can be seen on tip-toes, looking at all the goodies at eye-level and above, on their first trip around, and then stooping down for a good view on everything below eye-level the second turn.




Whatever your system, you don't want to miss a thing!









Join us for our January sale (Jan. 19, 20, 21 & 22nd) when you can hunt for treasures big and small, and let us know your system!

Whew! Another Year Under The Bathrobe Belt!

Did you have a great holiday and a Happy New Year? Are you ready to slip into something a little frumpy, yet comfy? US TOO! In fact, that's just what we did during our January 1st sale!



It's the beginning of a new year and we wanted to start it out with a well-deserved, post-party YAWN before we got crackin' on our busiest day of the year!



It was busy because we had half-off of our holiday items and



our customers could strike a deal, on this one special day, with the consignors face to face for an extra-added bargain!



Nobody in the throng of customers seemed to mind our state of (un) dress because


we had lots of hot coffee and tables full of goodies on hand to offer everyone.






And in return we received lots of happy friends!



And everyone went home happy!



Still in need of more bargains? Visit our sister store, Paris Flea Market January 5 - 8th for more of the same!
