If I didn’t know Paula’s a hard-left Obama lover, I might actually go for an ottoman about now.

Come to the Hickory Furniture Mart.

Twice a year after the International Furniture Show finishes in High Point, the Hickory Furniture Mart has big sales of the display items.

I build most of my furniture now. I love it! This woman has a plan for almost everything. Buy list, cut list, and easy steps to put together. Couldn’t be easier!

I worked for an interior design firm in the 80’s and went to the High Point show. Beautiful facility, beautiful furnishings, and beautiful town.

The Smithfield deal hasn’t been approved as yet so there is no new ownership as of yet.
