A Big Weekend Of Fluffing

June 15, 2017 By Maggi Barnard

Some of the items that will be used in the make over.

Tomorrow we have some very special VIP guests visiting our store. TV stars and Brand Ambassadors for Furniture One, Ayden and Jess are visiting the Central West for two special reasons.

Firstly, they will make their in store appearance in Parkes, but the second event brought them all the way from the Gold Coast.

Furniture One ran a nationwide competition offering the winner a $10,000 room makeover and a barbeque with Ayden and Jess and 12 of their family and friends. The lucky winners come from Dubbo, and as we are the nearest Furniture One store, I had the pleasure of organising the logistics of the day. The truck will be loaded with all the goodies that Jess has selected and we will arrive in Dubbo tomorrow for an afternoon of fluffing! Once the room is complete we will be continuing on to the family barbeque
and media commitments with the Dubbo press.

The lucky couple were so excited and I can’t wait to see the smile on their faces when we have worked some magic in their room. They beat a huge array of entrants that came from all over the Eastern States of the country.

I will feature the final results in the next column and on Facebook.

To give you a sneak peek of the pieces Jess has selected. We are going for a peaceful, relaxing and tranquil feel for this busy couple’s bedroom to give them a sanctuary from the outside world. They will be enjoying a new AH Beard king size mattress and a beautiful upholstered bed with underbed storage. Large chests and a huge tallboy will complete the look. Two lovely lamps and a plethora of bedding, quilts, pillows and cushions will add extra luxury and style to the room.
