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!

It's That Time Of Year

when the world falls in love,
Every song you hear seems to say
"Merry Christmas, "May your New Year dreams come true"
And this song of mine in three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours the same thing, too!


Winter greetings from all us ROOMIES who want to take this seasonal opportunity to say "We love YOU!" We are truly blessed to have customers like you who allow us to do what we love. We wish you a very happy holiday and a healthy New Year!

Getting It All Wrapped Up

It's a TALL order; getting all the lights up, the stockings hung, setting the sugar plums out for our customers, (and lookin' good while doing it!)


but December is when we really have our (fruit)cake and eat it too. We go "all out" with tons of holiday cheer we've been hoarding throughout the year.

PLUS--don't forget to look under the tree for a big treat for YOU! We are raffling off a 3' decorated tree that has a $100 GIFT CERTIFICATE hanging on it's branches! Come in December 15 - 18th opening and we'll be glad to help you cross off everything on your list!

November's Sneak Peek!

Have you fallen down on the job again??


Didn't you say last year (about this time) that you would have the house decorated so you could get (insert one:) the baking, the shopping, the guestroom ready waaay before the holidays hit?

Well, fear not. We can help you get all your little household chores in a row.


We've got tons of vintage and vintage-inspired goodies on our sleigh and are unloading them for you this month during our November 17, 18, 19 & 20th opening! You'll be back in the pink in no time!



Our sacks over-floweth with goodies we've yet to unpack, yet they still sparkle and glimmer just as bright!




We're big fans of the holidays and we're here to help you do it up big!







Don't forget the serving pieces, platters and utensils you'll need to serve up some home-baked goodness too!







Hope to see you when we turn on all the twinkling lights on Thursday, November 17 at 6 PM!

Did We Mention We Got a Mention?

Last month was sweet-n-spooky. Lots of black and orange, not to mention lots of customers looking for a fabulous deal on vintage inspired decor to make their homes hauntingly "boo"tiful!

One customer (and former "Roomie"!) was sweet enough to blog it! Check out Kerstie Pederson's self-titled blog and take the tour!


She also narrates points of interest (and the darling purchase she made) at our Parking Lot Sale the month before!

October Sneek Peek!

When was the last time you did something sneaky? Maybe ate that last cupcake, knowing in advance all the apology you'd need to give could be taken care of with an "Oops!" and some big puppy dog eyes?

Well, we've had some requests for a sneak peek of what's in store before we open our doors. So in the interest of keeping you satisfied yet not making you feel too guilty, we've created the following montage of photos to both make you think "Hey, what's that?" and also keep you guessing!
