The Green Chair Project
My thoughts on Clothes and Shopping
I’ve got something that you can do next Thursday, Oct. 6th.
A new blogging friend, The Tall Chick, volunteers with a local furniture donation project/program.
In her words, “I’m involved with marketing efforts for a local non-profit charity called The Green Chair Project. They provide furnishings and home accessories to needy families in the Wake County area that have been referred to them by partner agencies, like The Red Cross, Salvation Army, etc. These families pay a small fee (or sometimes they’re sponsored by someone) and in turn they receive coordinated, gently used items to furnish their homes. Most of these people are coming from very difficult situations, like homelessness or abusive relationships, and receiving these items are just part of their rehabilitation process. The goal is to really empower them by providing beautiful items to them in a store-like shopping experience. It’s not meant to make them feel like they’re getting someone else’s seconds, and the furniture really is beautiful and in GREAT condition…. And I can tell you from experience that The Green Chair Project’s showroom is nearly identical to a regular furniture store. Very impressive.”
The charity is moving to a bigger, better location on November 1st, and it will be impossible for them to move all of the furniture and accessories in their warehouse.
**this is where you come in. . .**
They are going to be having a moving sale on October 6, 7 and 8. But, on the night of the 6th, they’re having an exclusive preview sale. For a $10 donation, guests will receive first dibs on TONS of beautiful furniture, plus they will have food from PieBird, wine, beer and other snacks / beverages at no-charge.
You can like them on Facebook to find out all the details.

Thanks so much for sharing this great event with your readers, Kate! 🙂 Hope to see some of The Small Things Blog readers there!
Ahhh! If only I lived in your area! What a great cause and how fun it would be to browse. Still love your blog and I’m trying all your hair advice. I wish I was able to come get a cut from you! Indiana is a long commute for a hair appointment. I pass your blog along on Facebook to friends and repin you constantly! Keep up the good work.
I love those furniture makeovers! I did one of my own before my freshman year of college, but it was only a small dresser. I absolutely love that tall set of drawers!
I am really excited about this. I have sent out an email to ALL my friends & neighbors here. I hope there will be a good turn out!
Great job on that bureau! Love the white paint!
That sounds like a really great project! I would go if I didn’t live in New England. 😛

I have a question! What kind of Shampoo and Conditioner do you recommend? Do you think the kind of shampoos/conditioners that I use make a big difference in the way my hair turns out?
What a wonderful transformation. Just wondering, what kind of paint have you used. I have one at home that needs to be painted and would love to know your secret?
The wooden cabinets are exquisite. The white one is royalty. While the brown one adds drama.
I could not believe that is the same drawer. The transformation is really awesome. The Green Chair Project is a great foundation that helps provide furnishings and home accessories to needy families in the Wake County area. I support this organization 100%.

I love the outcome of your project. You really did well in giving a great transformation to this cabinet. Anyway, it is also good to see a house with furniture, walls and floors that complement with each other very well.
The transformation is very impressive. You gave life to that sleeping and almost dying furniture. You really have a great passion when it comes to completing DIY projects. I look forward to seeing more of this.

This is just too cute. I love tank tops and frankly have been getting tired of the same old, same old ribbed tank. Love it!
The green chair project shown here is excellent. Have a look at it

Thank you for sharing this wonderful project with us. Its great that there are people in the world who try to help the less fortunate with home make overs. It seems like they upgrade everything in the house from flooring to replacement table tops. This is a great cause and hopefully you get a big turnout.

I was able to accomplish a furniture makeover before, and I think it’s time to give it a follow up. By the way, painting the cabinet with a plain white paint gave it a stunning look. The cabinet looks like a brand new furniture after the overall makeover. This inspires me to do another small but useful DIY project.
~ Thanks ~
