art-ing it up

One, REALLY fun thing Gerard and I did at the Vegas show was put in an order for some new art for the store.

Everything from Van Gogh:

To pretty black and white photographs:

To my favorite!

Everything should be arriving at the store in a few weeks.

More Franklin Lookers...

I'm talking about upholstery... Get your minds out of the gutter!

Remember last week when I told you the Pillow-Y Back Franklin set was my favorite? LIES! THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE!
This tufted-back sofa set comes with a drop down center console (which I'm starting to think you can't live without...) and the loveseat is a rocker recliner. And, oh yeah, it comes in over 40 different cover choices!


Now... This one is NOT part of the Super Choice program but it does comes in five different covers for the same price:

My brother calls it the Pie Crust set.

Available covers:

Selling Mattresses/Saving Marriages

So, while we don't offer marital/couples counseling per say... We do have these cool new mattresses from Englander that might make living with your significant other/sleep partner a little easier. Say you like a nice firm mattress and the hubby likes sleeping in a soft, downy cloud of delightfulness-- the Avon mattress is the solution!

Both sides have fabric encased, heavy duty quad coils but each side has a different gauge coil. The plush side has a 14.5 gauge and the firm side is 13.5. Comfortable and affordable-- The queen set is $749 or $799 with a pillowtop and the king set is $949 or $999 for a pillowtop.



Final Thought-- Your mattress doubles in weight every ten years due to body fluid, dust mites, etc. Might be time for a new mattress.

What happens in Vegas....

... is a lot of furniture buying! And what happens won't stay in there.

I'm off to Las Vegas for a few days for the Furniture Show! Usually I go with my mother but this year I'm going with my brother, Gerard.

What happens is all the furniture manufacturers show all their new products (its pretty exciting...). I'm a little nervous about it... not gonna lie. My mom is the furniture/accessory Queen (also queen of the video poker machines, but I dont think she wanted the world to know that...), so she always takes the lead. It is over 12 million square feet of furniture! In three days!

But Gerard refuses to go with me so the tickets Mom and I bought for "Thunder from Down Under" are going to go to waste! Ha Ha! Kidding... Sort of.

So I will keep everyone posted about all the cool stuff I see.... or if I strike it big on the penny slots. High Rollah-- RIGHT HERE BABY.

Super Choice

There is a very special, special day for the Ladies of UFS... It is the day when our Franklin furniture sales rep comes to town. I know, I know... Totally wrong of us to enjoy our rep for reasons other than the fact that his product- Franklin furniture- is awesome, super comfortable and has a life time warranty... But the man is fiiiiiiiiiine. AND NICE! and did I mention he's from the South? He says "yes ma'am" with that drawl and I just melt.

My boyfriend gets jealous the days John comes to town to show us new products.

But a lady can't be satisfied with good looks alone... There has to be some substance, which is what Franklin has. Just about all the furniture is motion-- meaning they recline or in the case of most of the loveseats- they rock and recline. They have a lifetime warranty on the reclining mechanisms, on the seat and back springs, the seat cushions and the frame.

And we have two of the coolest new sets to choose from (just in!). Both come with drop down center tables (so you have a place to rest your arm and put your beverages on).

Here is a picture of my favorite of the two sets-- the one with the pillow-y back! AND both sets come in over 40 different cover choices-- fabric, polyurethane AND bonded leather. No matter what cover you choose-- it's the same price. Franklin is made in the USA, which is amazing in today's day and age!

And also, the more we sell, the more often John comes to visit us... So please! Stop in! Buy! Do it for the Women of UFS! ;)

Taxes and Tastings

Our End of Summer/Beat the Tax wine and spirit tasting was VERY well attended...

The people of Central Illinois flocked in to stock up on their alcoholic beverages before the State of Illinois tax hike on booze went into affect September 1.

Despite the tax increases we still have some great deals on wine, beer and liquor and also a very extensive selection. Come see us!

Look at that giant cork! How cool is that!?!?
