As we pass Veteran’s Day and look toward the later weeks of November, most of us are turning our thoughts to holiday planning. This season is marked by gatherings big and small of family and friends to celebrate. We gather to give thanks, light the menorah in remembrance, recall a momentous birth and ring in the New Year. And chances are there will be food and feasting, and the need for extra seating.
Woodshed Furniture in Lacey is a family run business for the past forty years. Trisha Claridge knows that at their family gatherings one thing is always true. “The table is the focus of the holiday celebration – from the decorations to the food to the chairs squeezed in at the ends,” she shares.
Take a peek at your space. Is your table ready to be the focal point? If the answer is no, then scoot over to Woodshed Furniture this month. Through November 27, all dining related furniture is discounted. And, the owners have brought in a wider selection than normal to give shoppers the most selection and variety.
What’s included in the “dining” category? “We try and have everything from breakfast nook tables to bar stools to tables that can seat twelve,” shares Claridge. The sale also includes essentials for entertaining such as buffets and china hutches, perfect for staging the dessert buffet or bar. Basically, anything you’d need to host a fantastic gathering in your home, you’ll find at Woodshed.
Available styles range from traditional to modern and include one of the newest trends in furniture – rustic wood with industrial accents. “We are seeing people turning away from the more sleek and modern look and interest shifting to the rustic with industrial flair, such as metal forged legs on tables and exposed hardware,” explains Claridge. Woodshed has several choices showing this new trend, all with the same high quality you expect from the Thurston County furniture store.
Another trend showing up on Woodshed’s showroom floor are one-of-a-kind, handmade pieces with exotic flair. “We have new pieces in the store that are handmade in India from recycled Mango wood,” Claridge shares. “Each piece is unique – no two are alike.” With the dining sale, these pieces are an affordable conversation piece, adding interesting character and warmth to your home.
The month-long dining sale culminates on Thanksgiving weekend with the stores biggest sale of the year. And while the prices drop even more on Black Friday, November 29, and last through the weekend, you can feel good knowing that you’re shopping a local small business. Inventory for the big weekend sale is beefed up to include a large number of items at special pricing.
And while your family gathering for Thanksgiving will have passed by the shopping weekend sale, the deals on dining and serving pieces will continue. Included in the special pricing November 29 through December 1, are entertainment centers and media consoles, perfect to get your home all set for the big game. With Seahawks’ Super Bowl chatter already in the air, Claridge recommends setting up your media room now for the big game.
While Woodshed Furniture includes great deals on excellent quality furniture every day, including their new Furniture Outlet’s bargain pricing, the November Dining Sale provides an opportunity to set your home up to impress this holiday season. Family celebrations are important, and being able to all gather around the table (and not the rickety card table) makes them all the more memorable.
