Did you ever wonder where the furniture displayed in a model home goes after the home is sold? Mystery Solved! It might go to Furniture Affair. They receive regular shipments of everything used in a model home.
Things for lovers of pink.
Wonderful things for those seeking decorative accents.
You may have to dig, as it is a warehouse and things are stacked on top of each other.
This was a great coffee table and the pop of green via the pillow was lovely.
Need a dining room table or silk greenery? It’s all a bit Hodge podge but priced to sell.
Even little people can find something.
A Mystery Solved Project
I loved these old shutters. You could indeed use them as art. They were being sold for a “take me home” price.
Although I didn’t find the headboard I was seeking for Sweet Boy’s room, I did come home and create two of these:
I will be participating in the upcoming Bohemian Bliss Soiree and wanted a creative way to display my handcrafted tags.
I liked the natural look of the shutters but felt that a nice shade of white would make the tags stand out more.
What do you think?

I think they look fabulous !
Ya know, I never thought about where that furniture went but am happy to know…

I’d love to shop over there. Here those shutters are a rage and quite expensive, priced to leave there so to say! Sometimes I ask shops what they do with their decorations, especially chain stores, which have special campaigns. Now I have seen a fashion store with big rolls of wallpaper as backgrounds, I’m so looking forward to have them, but I have to ask first…
Very clever way of displaying your tags! Have a nice day!
What a great use of the shutters. I love the white with the cheerful colors of the tags. This is absolutely beautiful Laura.
You definitely nailed it with painting the shutters white–The tags just pop!
I wondered if they sold the furniture with the house! They always have the neatest stuff in a model house!
I did you tube Susan Boyle–she is fabulous! Coincidentally the same day another friend of mine asked me if I knew about her!
Oh, that would be a fun place to some shopping!!
I think I have greater appreciation for the stack of old shutters in the garage…
The pink chairs really caught my eye!
What a great little shop. Thanks for sharing. cheers, -susan
I love your idea about the shutters!
I like the white…it makes a crisp, clean background, and doesn’t distract from your tags!
I think I want a couple thousand dollars to take to that store!! 🙂
I love the pop of white with the colourful tags..very clever
I think the shutters are a great way to display your tags. Of course, white always looks right! (to me anyway 🙂
LOVED the shutters! How clever to display those lovely tags.
I am drooling over the pink chairs!
Love,

I’ll put that on my list of places to check out.
The shutters look great white and your tags are all cute!!
Excellent idea! Blessings.
You hit the nail on the head! Looks great!
Dear Laura,
Well I would love to come over and shop at the Furniture Affair – you know anytime I hear the words Furniture and used (no matter how gently) my ears prick up!
If only I could – the goodies look so tasty! that pink is luscious, and don’t those shutters look sweet. Once more you demonstrate not only your incredible kindness and willingness to share, but your talented mind and nimble fingers.
Never change – and keep the reports rolling!
They look great! My hubby use to work for Shea Homes and they would have auctions for the employees when the models where sold out. We got a King sized bed for $5 (best firm bed we have ever had) we also got a dinning room table, wood with 8 chairs, hand painted chickens on each chair with 2 end chairs upholster for $350.I miss those auctions! Thank you for sharing I love the Pink! Hugs, Bobbi Jo
Your tags and display are fabulous!!
this would be a great source for accessories and furniture with interesting design concepts.
The shutters painted white form a perfect backdrop for your lovely tags.
Hello, This is the first time I have heard of Furniture Affair, I must check it out. thank you for sharing.I like the way you displayed your tags on white.
