Oh, thrifting is so much fun! That place looks like a real gem--most of the thrift places around here aren't put together with much eye for aesthetics. Love that Anthro-esque couch, too! Kristina Sweetfern Handmade

Love the lamp! You make everything look so cute and somehow fit just right!

Oh man, I wish there was something like that in my town. I love that they blog about their new finds as well~that’d surely get me up and out the door early on a Saturday. And your newly acquired lamp looks great!

Wow Kim – what a wonderful post about the store! Thank you. The lamp looks wonderful! I wasn’t so sure about the shade, but it really looks great. It, again, makes me realize how truly awful the lighting is in the warehouse. Stuff often looks just so-so until you get it in the light and then it’s amazing!

The brown sofa went home with a wonderful young couple who were thrilled. The leather one is still waiting for the right buyer though. :-)

Thanks again for helping to spread the word about Jubilee Furniture!

Take care!

Em,

I should probably mention that the only reason we didn’t do a couch swap was because the one you see here was only about 76″… As much as we love apartment sized pieces (we don’t have any other choice), this would have been just too small. If we had room for an extra seating area, or even an empty corner in the office or bedroom, this would have been strapped on our car in a heartbeat! It was one of those finds that you see in home decor mags where the source list states “found on craigs,” and you think, how? who gets rid of a piece like that? (Those legs, the fabric, oh!)

The best part? (Or worst part, depending on how you look at it) It was only $160.
