Furniture. Typically the next word that comes to mind is expensive. Not so, my friends. As many of you know, I like to redo furniture. To make this practical I have to get a steal on the piece as I will spend money on paint and fabric. One gem I have found is
Legacies Limited
7922 N Port Washington Rd.
Milwaukee, WI (actually Fox Point area)
I visited Legacies for the first time a few weeks ago. I am not in the market for furniture right now. I did score this sweet Lakefront Festival of Arts poster (that actually predates my birth) for $5. Now.... the reason this place is a gem is because every 30 days the item is discounted. I am embarrassed now, I want to say 30% but I can't remember for sure, maybe it was ony 15%. I will call them Monday and post what the actual discount is. Anyway, every 30 days you take an additional discount off of the item. There was this green leather sofa in there that had been there since Spring. It was down to $180 with the discount! So say it was there for 6 months. You take 15% (I think!) off of the original price. Subtract that amount from your original price and then do it again and again for however many months it has been there. I have no need for a green, leather sofa. It was tempting though just because it was such a good deal!
Things you need to know:
-the discounted prices are not marked on the tag. The date is as well as the original price. So you might want to take a calculator or at least your cell phone for quick computing while you are browsing.
-It is not kid friendly. This place is PACKED with stuff. Stacks of dishes, lamps, mirrors, pictures all within toddler reach. Plus the aisles are so narrow it would be impossible to keep a kid from even bumping in to things.
Places on my list to check out:
Nearly New Family Fashions
6803 N Green Bay Ave
Milwaukee, WIMilwaukee, WI 53209-2820
