Christmas / Holiday Decor

From now until December 31, bring in your extra holiday decor to sell! This is a short-term consignment program so be prepared to pick up any unsold items by January 10 or we can donate them to a charity. No appointment necessary for 5 items or less. We will offer 60% payout rates for these items! All items will be sold on a 'best we can do' basis unless you indicate otherwise when you bring in the items. Call if you have questions about this program or have more than 5 items.

It's About Time

Introducing a brand new way to sell: It's About Time

That's the name of our brand new way to sell your items. It's About Time. Why is it called that? Because we deduct a selling fee based on how long the item is in the store. This program is for people who are comfortable listing their own items on selling sites like Craigslist, NapervilleYardSales and eBay. Fees start as low as 5%!

If I Had A Nickel ...

As the former Director of Finance and IT at Northern Illinois Food Bank in St. Charles, I am aware of the struggles to continue to get financial support from the community for even the most basic of charities; those that provide food. In tough economic times such as these, many people are struggling just to keep their own families afloat. Now that I own a resale store I inevitably have a number of items that do not sell and thus I have been donating them to a variety of local charities. I don't know how many of these items ultimately find their way to another person and I was thinking, "If I had a nickel for every one of those items, the charities could benefit from that money." Thus my new program was born.

Here's how it works:
Items that haven't sold in over a year or are slightly damaged in some way are tagged with a special 'If I Had A Nickel' tag. When you make any From My Room purchase, you can choose one of these items and it will ring up as five cents. In addition, we ask that you put in any additional amount to one of our two collection boxes. One is for the Northern Illinois Food Bank and the other for the Naperville Area Humane Society. The donations for the Northern Illinois Food Bank will be targeted for their new capital campaign, raising money for a new, much needed facility ( http://www.northernilfoodbank.org/menu-top-getinvolved-capitalcampaign.asp ). The Naperville Area Humane Society will use donated funds in their care of abandoned animals. From My Room will match the amounts collected, thereby doubling the benefit to these charities.


It is our hope that this new program will:
* Make still-usable items available to people in our local community
* Keep these items out of landfills to help the environment
* Draw more attention to the community needs that are addressed by these two charities
* Provide some financial support to two great charities

Thank you for supporting our community.
