"Full Retail--For Suckers" - LHO Featured on Design District Blog


Today LHO Design & Consign was featured on the Dallas Design District's blog. Scott came in yesterday and toured the store with my mom. He did a great job at capturing the bottom line of LHO (something for everyone at every price) and even came up with a fabulous slogan...Full Retail is For Suckers!



If you haven't read the Design Districts blog I suggest you start. Its a fresh view on the neighborhood and all of its activities. http://www.dallasdesigndistrict.net/

What's New Wednesday - Contemporary and Colorful

The end of last week we got in several contemporary pieces. Most of them being a bedroom set that is all handmade with wood inlay and has a lacquer finish. The pieces include a Cal-King platform bed, armoire, mirror, dresser, 2 night stands, and an electronic flat panel tv lift! We also received a beautiful Italian leather chair and a very large over sized hand painted piece of art.

On the non-contemporary side of things we received a wonderful queen four post bed and a few fun accent pieces!

All Consignment Stores NOT Created Equal

So my mom and I went on another one of our adventures today and did a little "research". Before I start on the details I do want to preface this post with we are firm believers that there is enough business for everyone. If we have a customer walk through our doors looking for something we don't currently have but think another retailer might, we will gladly send them in the right direction. We also believe that there are other business owners out there that do the same and send people our way if they think we can help. We love being apart of such a unique industry that caters to "treasure hunters", frugal shoppers, do-it yourselfers, and bargain hunters. With that said the overall consensus of our findings today was that not all consignment stores are created equal. I am not going to name names or throw any store under the bus because I am sure they all have their own unique following, but there were definitely winners and then there are the others.

Until this point I never really understood why we frequently get people walking through our door asking, "this is consignment?" in a surprising voice. After walking into a few of the stores we visited I don't know if I would give consignment stores another chance. The smell, poor lighting, awful furniture, in awful condition (I am talking stains, rips, tears, pet hair, nasty nasty nasty...) would have me running and never looking back. I am sure its like everything else, a few bad apples can ruin the bunch. My goal for this post is to help educate people that there are amazing, clean, non smelling consignment stores out there that actually sell merchandise you would want in your home. So if by chance you have visited a consignment store recently and thought never again please come visit us and we will fill you in on the other "diamonds in the rough" that are out there.

What's New Wednesday

In this weeks What's New Wednesday you are going to see a little bit of everything.

Last week we received a TON of holiday home decor! Christmas, Halloween, Harvest and even a little 4th of July. If you are like me and think its never too early to stock up on new holiday decor (especially at "off-season" prices) make sure to stop by LHO this week and check out all of the fun pieces.

In addition to our holiday goods we also have a lot of fun accent pieces. Small chest/side tables, an old pie safe (with flour bin and all), great pottery pieces to accent your outdoor living spaces, plus a ton of new home decor items.

As always there is way more items than I can post so get your tush in here today to check them all out for yourself!
