Sad news from Sheila Mulligan at Bungalow Basics in Snohomish WA:

After three and a half years of enjoying my business, sadly the time has come to shut the doors of Bungalow Basics. Since January I have been trying to outlast an economy that just doesn't get better and I can't do it any more financially or emotionally.

After closing 8/7 - 8/11 to reprice and rearrange things, I will open Saturday, 8/12, at 11 am for the Going Out of Business sale. Prices will be reduced up to 40% on everything, including display pieces and store equipment, except for this year's release of vases from Ephraim Pottery. Those will not be on sale.

As you know, my displays are mission furniture. It's the perfect time pick up a sofa table or other accent piece. If you call the shop for sale specifics, we'll help you as best we can but might be quite busy. Please be patient.

Antique pieces will be priced fairly, as will the Harvest House pieces I've been using as displays. I will ask that you leave the displays in the shop until what's on them is gone so I have surfaces for merchandise.

Starting 8/12 the shop will be open daily 11 am - 5 pm. Starting mid September I will be closed two days a week, probably Tuesday and Wednesday, as I will no longer have an employee.
