A Dining Room Sideboard

posted on : November 7, 2019 posted by : nicolesteinthal 1 Comment

I love the look of a dining room side board. Last Thanksgiving was the beginning of the end of my Dining Room. I know I have written about this but the day after Thanksgiving I was cleaning under my glass top table and I don’t know what happened but it shattered in a million pieces. I was devastated. Since then that room has snowballed. I really think what was missing all this time..was a good looking sideboard. I started doing a research. What do you think of these….head over to instagram to see what I ended up choosing!!!!!

Book Club Monday

posted on : November 6, 2019 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

Sorry we are off one day today and are bring you Book Club Monday one day late. Yesterday I was working on a group sale for Hamilton for early Feb. The date will prob be sometime during the first week..I will keep you posted…..

In the meanwhile, this week’s choice is The Dutch House by Ann Patchett. It was so funny, I had this all ready to go and then I got a group text that my book club pick it for this month as well. Everyone is loving it!! Here is the story….

At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves.

The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother. The two wealthy siblings are thrown back into the poverty their parents had escaped from and find that all they have to count on is one another. It is this unshakable bond between them that both saves their lives and thwarts their futures.

Set over the course of five decades, The Dutch House is a dark fairy tale about two smart people who cannot overcome their past. Despite every outward sign of success, Danny and Maeve are only truly comfortable when they’re together. Throughout their lives, they return to the well-worn story of what they’ve lost with humor and rage. But when at last they’re forced to confront the people who left them behind, the relationship between an indulged brother and his ever-protective sister is finally tested. – Amazon.com

Have You Considered Pre-Owned?

posted on : November 3, 2019 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

I have received a few emails about the luxury bag market. There was another announcement that luxury retailers are going to yet again be raising their already very high prices, much to many consumers dismay. The only good thing is that designer handbags are only becoming more and more popular and they are holding their value. So the pre-owned market is hotter than ever. One of my favorite sites is Fashionphile. They were just purchased by Neiman Marcus so it is probably the safest place to buy a second hand designer handbag on the web. They have an incredible authentication process. Fashionphile will also buy any of the designer accessories hanging around your closet. Its a great way to get rid of something old and get something new or to make a few extra dollars (and they can add up quickly). All you have to do is download the app, follow a few steps, upload a couple of photos and within a few days they send you a quote. If you agree, they send you a pre paid label. You ship your item and they send you a check or deposit the money for you within a week or so. The quotes are really fair, comparable if you consigned the item maybe a little higher but the best part, no waiting for your item to sell before you get your $$. Its so easy. I have partnered with Fashionphile this week to show you some of my favorite picks on their site. Boy was it hard to choose. All kidding aside, Fashionphile is a fabulous find. Whether you are in the market to buy or just make a few extra dollars!!! I urge you to check it out!!!
