Woo Hoo! Just discovered today that Uhuru Furniture has a blog.

Now I am a follower and will know whenever they get a great new (used) furniture item in their stock.
For those who don’t know, Uhuru is a non-profit furniture store on 12th and Spruce.
They pick up donations- so you should always think of them when getting rid of unwanted stuff.
Proceeds go to African People’s Education & Defense Fund.
Used furniture is great- not only is it usually inexpensive, but its also environmentally responsible. It can also add great character to your home.
Had I been following earlier I could have scooped up this elephant coffee table.
Talk about a conversation piece. I would have liked to paint those elephants white… it could have been a really cool table.
I’m going to keep my eyes peeled for another coffee table that may work in my space.
Great site, you have a great eye! Just wanted to share this regarding the non-profit…
