New Furniture Line at Unique Motif

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

josephineThis week the new furniture line from International Ideas arrived. This is quality furniture made from kiln-dried mahoghany hardwoods. Every piece is hardwood lumber throughout – there are no softwood, no fillers, no bi-products and no particle boards. All drawer sides are dovetail joined. This is the kind of quality furniture that you pass on to your children – you won’t find it at garage sales!

Even with the high quality of this furniture, you will be pleased by the reasonable prices. We might not be priced as low as Wal-Mart but we are much less than the furniture stores down the street!

There is a good selection of end tables, hall tables, desks, buffets, bookcases and benches. I have sat in their chairs and they are very comfortable, too. Styling will blend in with traditional, colonial, old country, country and modern. Colors range from red, antique white, dark and medium brown, chartruse green and more.

This furniture will add quality, color and appeal to your home or office. Come in today and see how we can help you purchase quality furniture for your home at a reasonable price.

UPDATE: FREE FURNITURE. High quality, solid, kiln-dried mahogany. The more you buy, the more you save – up to 100%! Come see the new line of furniture available at Unique Motif in the Prairie Shopping Center, Hwy 95 and Prairie Avenue, in Hayden. Tues-Sat 10am-6pm. Products to enhance your living environment at prices you can live with.

A Brief Look at the Importance of Local Merchants

Monday, October 5th, 2009

008When I talk on the street about supporting local merchants, a lot of people respond with references to local services. It struck me, we have this idea of local merchants being services, salons and things of this nature. When we think of retail stores, we think of Big Box and Warehouse Wonders.

Small businesses and local enterprises are the backbone to our local economy and our national economy. Without them, our economy will flounder (even worse than during a recession). The same thing is true for our local retail merchants. They need our support.

It is the local businesses that get involved in the community. Sure, big businesses funnel money into the community to get their name out there and to create an image of community mindedness. You will always read about their community activities and see their banners – and that is the point of their involvement. The small businesses and the people who work for them are neighbors – they get involved without waving banners and issuing press releases. Local merchants get involved because they love their communities.

Small businesses work to promote our freedoms. Most small business owners understand the free market system and the importance of the liberties we have in our nation to create our own future and make opportunities for the next generation. On the other hand, big businesses spend vast amounts of money lobbying for new regulations to get rid of their competition. Most these laws are labeled in the interest of consumer protection, but the real intent is to help the big get bigger and keep the small guy out of the picture.

So, when you go shopping at the Big Box and Warehouse stores, you are tossing your two cents in to aid those who are working to eliminate competition in our nation. They are working to eliminate your neighbor’s store – the same neighbors who are actively involved in your community, making it a better place to live.

This week, bring your receipts from three local merchants in to Unique Motif, along with the coupon above, and receive 40% OFF three items of your choice. No other purchase is necessary (but will be appreciated). For more information on local businesses, go to http://uniquemotif.com/decor/local-businesses/
