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')

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!

Accessorizing with Orange

Orange in the dining room? Well, if Nate Berkus can do it, so can we!

(Nate Berkus as featured in Chicago Home & Garden Magazine - note the cool orange chairs!)

Actually, interior designers will tell you to use a natural palette for dining spaces; bright colors are known to increase your appetite and reds, oranges, and greens are common food hues.

Just as in fashion, accessories in moderation are the best approach. Hints of orange here and there will pop against a contrasting backdrop and create a visually interesting space.

HUGE BLOWOUT SALE - THIS WEEKEND ONLY!

This weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (January 15-17), we are reducing select items 60-75% off the original price!

Don't miss out on these incredible deals, stop by and see if that special item you've had your eye on is part of this big sale!

We Have Gift Certificates!

We all have them ... hard to shop for family & friends. They mean well when they say "Oh, just get me whatever you want" or "I am running low on socks." But you want to gift them with something that will be both practical and enjoyable.

Divine Consign can help! We have gift certificates available to be used in both of our locations (111 N. Oak Park Ave and 810 North Boulevard) for furniture, accessories and collectibles. Gift certificates can be created in any denomination and, for your convenience, they can be purchased over the phone and mailed directly to you or your giftee!

And we are also offering the ability to purchase those gift certificates online as well, through PayPal. There's no need to have a PayPal account - you can pay using any of your debit or credit cards. Click on the button below, choose the amount, choose to email to your intended gift recipient or print after having paid and deliver yourself. The PayPal Gift Certificate can be used online at our online store or in our physical locations. How easy is that?

Gift cards are so passé these days ... instead of gifting the same old thing this year, shop for a unique find at Divine Consign! With so many beautiful home accessories and collectibles in stock, you will definitely be able to find that perfect gift at an amazing price!

Customers' Rave Reviews!

We just love our customers and consignors, and we also love hearing their great reviews! Here's what a few of them had to say...
_______________________________
"Amazing selection of high quality furniture at prices you cannot say no to. The staff are all friendly and take an interest in what you are looking for and try to help you find it. I was wavering on a piece and they put it on hold for me. . . . then I wanted something else and they just moved the hold tag. . . . then I bought it. . . . most places won't let you hold anything much less play musical chairs with a hold tag for two days!

I will be back again and again, since it seems the inventory changes daily, and I won't want to miss out on anything!" Joe C., Oak Park

"If your tastes run to the classic, there are antique-y antiques with an impressive pedigree. If you are a modern sort, there's stuff for you too. And there are lots of paintings, accessories, and objets d'art to round out the look. The prices are pretty reasonable ... and the store is full without seeming too cluttered.

Everything at the store is consigned (duh!) from individuals or furniture stores, and the prices are reduced the longer it sits on the sales floor. You can add your name to a "wish list" so if you have something particular in mind, the store will notify you if it appears.

I don't know if they coined the phrase "eco-chic," but there is definitely something "green" about the concept of re-using what is here rather than having China make us new stuff all the time. So if you have the heebies about buying a couch someone else sat on, just get over it. And bring plenty of quarters for the parking meter." Lisa B., Oak Park

"I have consigned several pieces of of furniture, and DIVINE CONSIGN , an amazing & GORGEOUS store SOLD all of my pices in less than 3 weeks. This 'consignment' store is not your average consignment shop-- it looks and feels very upscale, and is put together extremely well.

The owner and sales staff are outgoing and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend this store to anyone who is either looking to sell good qualtiy furniture and decorator items or is looking for that special piece for their home. A visit to this store is a must!" Patricia M.S., Chicago

"OMG! You have got to see this store! I read about in Chicago Home and Garden Magazine and my wife and I had to make the trip.First, it was hard to get in the door because people were taking so many pieces of furniture out of the door. The first piece I looked at was a solid cherry Arts and Crafts style-how Oak Park- dining table for $199! Are you kidding me? The store was clean bright well-staffed and fun. I continued my journey toward the back of the store and was amazed at the variety of syles. They had a huge Habersham custom armoire, Stickley furniture and then a retro zebra striped contemporary love seat. There was so much to see that by the time I made it back to my solid cherry table, it was already sold! My advice, grab what you like right away or it will be gone!

The store allows you to returns your furniture purchase if it doesn't work for you! Have you ever heard a consignment store do that before?

The prices were amazing (hope they can stay in business selling at those prices) and this was before any prices were marked down. They reduce the price by 20% every three weeks (doubtful anything will be in the store that long). This was not like any consignment store I had ever been in.

I couldn't leave empty handed. I bought a great side chair and my wife bought a set of crystal candlesticks. Top quality. If you haven't been there you have to go and go often. I've veen there three times and it was completely different each time. Yeah the parking does suck. But there is a parking garage across the street and the store is next to some great restaurants. So relax and have lunch." James P., Oak Park

Introducing Diving Consign - The Annex

We're feeling quite proud of ourselves these days. Over the past couple months we've enjoyed bringing together our consignors and customers, finding new homes for fabulous furniture and home accessories.
