Designer Tag Sale Season Finale

.

This season’s final Designer Tag Sale  is happening Thursday, July 28th through Sunday the 31st during Kent’s Summer Sidewalk Festival.  There are great deals on lighting, cabinet and furniture hardware, small appliances, kitchen gadgets, cutlery, and home decor accessories in our outdoor tent.  Kitchen appliances, plumbing, antique prints, and more are on sale in the showroom.

.

What’s a Designer Tag Sale anyway?  And what’s the big deal?  Why so motivated?

What’s a Designer Tag Sale, you ask?  Its all of the gorgeous things left over after Trish and Jeffrey’s 20+ years in the interior design business in New York City, plus a bunch of props,  gadgets, and floor samples that we have had for sale in the showroom for the past few years.  Its out with the old to make room for the new.  The best part about it is that all of the prices are significantly discounted.  AND we are motivated to sell!!

Motivation: whatever doesn’t sell has to go back into storage – which is in the basement.  Guess who gets that job?  Your’s truly (and Trish…).  We (I) REALLY don’t want to have to trek all of this stuff down to the basement.  And its got to go somewhere because right now its taking up the entire {soon to be} bath department.  We are even extending our hours to get as many of you here to get as much as possible OUT!

.

A few other things happening on the Green during the festival that might interest you include the farmer’s market on Saturday from 9 am to noon, a hot dog and hamburger stand at Davis IGA, pulled pork sliders at the Fife ’n Drum Restaurant, and…

Hope to see you there!
