Hello, Elaine here!
Mother’s Day is approaching and as a mom I thought I might be able to provide some insight about some of the lovely items we have in the shop here at Columbus Furniture Revival that any mom {or this mom} would be ecstatic to receive as a token of love and appreciation. Here goes!

Let’s start with a motherhood essential: coffee. Moms need coffee, like, to keep us alive, so we also need the quintessential Mom coffee mug. We happen to have it at our store and it’s perfect.  ^^^See^^^

While we’re giving coffee and mugs let us not forget we need a place to rest said coffee mug. These adorable coasters from CP Concrete are just the thing. We also have Tea versions if that’s more your mama’s cuppa… {do i really have to finish this pun?}

Maybe the mamas on your list need some pampering? Gretel’s soaps, salves and balms are just the thing. Luxurious without the outrageous price tag.

Jewelry is a Mother’s Day staple, right? Forgo the Jared’s collections and pick her up something a little more unique, a little more local and a little easier on your wallet. We’re overflowing with lovely, unique and reasonably priced jewelry. If anyone out there is reading for tips on what jewels I would like to receive {ahem} then I would like to go on record as saying this pyrite necklace from Sage Sprouting above and these floral earrings from Poor Sparrow below are my current faves. BUT I’d take just about anything we have…

Maybe the mama you’re shopping for is expecting? Please consider this adorable vintage high chair lovingly refinished by CFR owner, Lauren. This cherry chair is amazing. And you’d still be a hero a year later when Junior’s cake smash photos turn out adorable thanks to this added pop of color…and a great gene pool of course.

Looking for something practical and lovely? This vintage chip + dip set would be a gorgeous addition to your mom’s entertaining collection.

And last, go big or go home. This mid-century modern dresser is so versatile that I’ve picked out 5 different rooms in my house in which I could put this baby. Your mom would do the same.

So, stop in and see us this week to snatch up one of these items or peruse the rest of our wares for the perfect gift.

We’re happy that the outside is finally starting to match the inside of our colorful shop. Some of our lovely in-store items and their springtime hues coming atcha:

^^^ this lovely little minty green number ^^^

^^^ add a pop of yellow to your kitchen ^^^

^^^ there’s always midgie keeping us inspired with her eggshell blue ^^^

 ^^^ and this lovely springtime collection from Sage Sprouting. April showers bring May flowers…in yo’ ears! ^^^

Stop in and see us over the weekend to make some of these pastel pieces part of your home!

You know, one of the nice things about wine is that it is seasonally appropriate year round.  That’s why we think these cork wreaths by Backyard Mint are genius. No more switching out your wreath each season or holiday. One of these lovelies will do you good all year long. OR you can switch up your own adornments if you’re really into keeping things festive.

Backyard Mint also makes cute initial decorations. That way you can hang an S on your door to say “Hey, we’re the Smiths and we wine wine all the time time.” The entrance to your home needs to make a statement and we think that is a pretty good one. They would look great anywhere really!! We take custom orders here in the shop! Just let us know your letter of choice and we’ll get our girl Brittany, the crafty lass responsible for BYM, on it.

Stop in and see us and the selection for Backyard Mint in the shop sometime soon!

Folks, today it’s spring out there. It may not stick around but just for today it was spring and I left the window cracked just a bit on the ride to work to air everything out. Because you know how everything gets that closed-up-for-4-months funk going on by the time the end of February rolls around?

Here at CFR we’ve relied on our wonderful vendor Gusto Candles to keep the stale at bay all winter and it’s worked like a dream. Now, I’m not normally a lover of food scented candles but the Gingerbread candle has gotten me through these last few weeks. See how it’s almost down to the bottom in that picture up there? Gusto has so many unique scents like Cucumber Wasabi, Tomato Leaf, and Lime Leaf & Lilly that I’m eager to try out but don’t wanna use up all our stock!

Gustos candles are made right here in Ohio and check out the repurposed wine glasses in the last photo down there. That’s part of their revitalized series and fits in so perfectly with Columbus Furniture Revival.

We hope you’ll stop in and pick out your favorite scent today. As Gusto says: life is short. make it smell good.
