Hello there! Thank you for stopping by today! This month I decided to enter a contest with Gallery Furniture. It is a Pinterest/Instagram contest where you draw a favorite furniture item that is in stock. This is a local store with a lot of history in Houston and philanthropic services in the area. For the last 20+ years, Gallery Furniture has given away house full’s of furniture to families in need. And this year the owner, Jim ‘Mattress Mack’ McIngvale made headlines for his Super Bowl contest. He vowed to refund customers who purchased $6,000 worth of furniture if the Seahawks won. Well as you know, Seattle won and there were a lot of customers who entered this contest (I didn’t.. but boy do I wish I had) and Mattress Mack had to pay almost $7M back!!

Our family loves this store because of their community service,great customer service, fun sales/contests and the wide variety of items and design styles available. We have several items in our home from Gallery Furniture and I recently won 2nd Place in their 2013 Design Contest.

Shopping for furniture can be a daunting task but this store makes shopping an enjoyable experience. Inside the store’s original location there are parrots, monkeys, and a playground for the kids. Water, cookies and ice cream are provided every time you shop. Sometimes they will have pizza and other foods for special events. Once you have found that perfect item, they will deliver it the same day, so no need to wait! Check out their website and even if you aren’t in the Houston area, they can deliver it. Gallery Furniture delivers regularly all across Texas, and has delivered as far away as Maui, Hawaii. Without further ado, here is my design entry. Tell me what you think or let me know you need assistance with a room in your home by commenting!

This is also an example of my I-Design service that my company can provide to my out of state (even out of the country) readers or those who want design help for a reasonable fee. Room packages start at $150.
