Our 2nd Pinterest Inspired Room

When we came across this photo on Pinterest, we were immediately reminded of the upholstered, nail head trim ottoman from our recent Warehouse Event (pictured below, right). 

Large Round Ottoman by Kenneth Ludwig (at Divine Consign) - Item # 10538 $999.99Call 708.386.3366 for info/to purchase 

Using the ottoman as a starting point, it was a piece of cake coming up with some awesome ways to recreate the look of this breezy, relaxing bedroom with items currently in our store! Our second step was to search the Surya website to find a perfect rug (remember: Divine Consign is a distributor for Surya and we can order ANY rug you see on their website for under retail value!)

Here were our faves:

1. Portera   2. Sculpture   3. Sculpture   4. Aurora
Call 708.386.3366 for pricing or to place an order

Next, we started browsing through our furniture for similar items - and there are LOTS! We decided beds like these would work well:

Iron King Size Bed Frame - $246.39 (Item #9406)Call 708.386.3366 for info/to purchase 

                 4 Poster Silver Queen Size Bed Frame - $233.19 (Item #9985)

Call 708.386.3366 for info/to purchase

...As would these chairs (We happen to have 2 identical in stock, both NEW from our Horchow shipment!)

Ramona Chair by Horchow - $439.99 (Item #10874)
Call 708.386.3366 for info/to purchase

...And an interesting, functional nightstand/side table (pretty detailing + storage = heck yes!)

French Style Marble Top Side Table - $133.09 (Item #11819)
Call 708.386.3366 for info/to purchase

To put the finishing touches on the room and bring everything together, we'd finish it off with a table lamp and some hanging wall art, such as these:

Crystal Knobs Lamp - $65.99 (Item #11810) & 3 Stone Sphere Lamp - $49.49 (Item #9023) 

Framed Wall Art - Prices on items pictured range from $3-$35
Please visit our showroom at 809 S. Oak Park Ave, Oak Park, IL to purchase

Viola! The room is done. We hope this inspires you to recreate rooms from your own favorite "Pins"...whether it be from items in your own home or from your favorite consignment store! (hey..just sayin')

Our New Showroom! Before + After

Aaaand, we’re back! With some GREAT news…..

In case you haven't heard...

OUR BRAND NEW SHOWROOM IS FINALLY OPEN! 

We’ve been busy moving 2 entire stores full of furniture plus adding tons of “new,” never-before-seen merchandise (LOTS from Horchow and model homes!) to our brand new showroom at 809 S. Oak Park Ave! It’s been quite a journey, but we think it was worth it! Check out some before and after pictures below.

We had our exclusive Preview Party on 9/14, and it was a blast! Our current customers and consignors enjoyed food, drinks, a band, and first dibs on all of our great new stuff!

The next day, Saturday 9/15, was our huge Grand Opening! Check out our "Virtual Tour" video below to see the awesome new space!

We are thrilled to be in such a welcoming neighborhood. I think we’re going to LOVE it here in south Oak Park! What do you think of our new showroom/ location?

We've been inspired!

As a furniture and home accessories consignment store, we want our customers to feel inspired every time they come in, without having to spend an arm and a leg on redecorating.

Today, we’ve come across a repurposing idea (thanks to allthingsthrifty.com) SO great, thrifty, and inexpensive, we just couldn't keep it to ourselves!

You will need:

- An old chair

- A saw

- A razor blade

- A can of spray paint

- Some elbow grease

- A husband (optional)

Step One: Go up to your attic and dust off that 3-legged chair you just haven’t been able to part with for one reason or another (Don’t have one of those lying around? We’ve got lots of super inexpensive chairs here at Divine!)

Step Two: Get to work sawing off the top of the chair, scraping, sanding, or sawing off whatever is inside (i.e. basket weave, etc.) sanding the edges, and spray painting it to your color of choice.

Step Three: Ta da! Look at what you’ve created! We’re so proud of you….now use that creative mind of yours to decide what to put inside of it!

Let us know how yours turned out!

Repurposing your Entertainment Center

What a great day to be outside!

We hope you are enjoying this gorgeous day while it lasts…Chicago weather can be so unpredictable! One day, your kids are out playing in the yard until the sun goes down, and the next they are stuck inside, cranky because the rain won’t stop.

Well, the brilliant minds at Divine Consign have come up with a cure for those rainy days….

REPURPOSING!

Not only is it a fun, INDOOR friendly activity, but you kids can help out too! And, if they’re really lucky, you’ll end up with something fun for them….like this super cute play kitchen made from a repurposed entertainment center!

You’ll turn something like this... 

Into something like this! 

  

How genius is that!?

Don’t have any old furniture laying around because you already brought it all over to Divine Consign? =)

We’ve got tons of cool stuff lying around both of our stores….come on in and check us out!

Before and After Bedrooms!

Do you ever want to freshen up your bedroom without going through a complete remodel? Most rooms just need a fresh coat of paint, a little organization, and lots of personalization!

Here are some before & after shots of some smallish (i.e. realistic) bedrooms like many of us have. With minimal work (a can of paint or two), a bit of time (weekend warriors take note) and some creative accessorizing - Voila! A fresh, organized space that can fit into most any budget!
