We work hard all year long.  Labor Day is all about taking a break.  So at Circle K, we are honoring the working men and women on the job, at home, and in our armed services with some well-deserved “Me Time.”

Come stroll the aisles of our 60,000 square foot showroom.  Take in the sights and scents that make Circle K so unique.  So many of our customers tell us that they just love to come here and walk around because it’s so relaxing.

On top of our natural atmosphere, we are rewarding you with some incredible bargains.  Indulge yourself on one of our $499 sofas from Lane and Broyhill, while supplies last. Nap on a queen size bed from Broyhill for only $599.  Or veg out on Lane rocker recliner for only $299.  Better yet, make it a leather rocker recliner from only $399.

Our store is filled to the brim with bargains for you.  Go ahead, indulge yourself.  You’ve earned it.

Handling life’s challenges is hard for anyone. In some ways, even more so for kids. They haven’t had the practice we adults have had. So, Circle K is partnered with Broyhill and the Make-A-Wish foundation to give some very special kids an opportunity for some joy in their lives by granting furniture and room makeover wishes.

The goal is to grant 50 wishes nationwide by providing furniture and cash donations. From July 15th to September 15th, Broyhill will contribute 1% of all sales to the Make-A-Wish Foundation to put toward these wishes. Circle K whole-heartedly supports their efforts and encourages you to support them, too.

Check out the video to learn more. If you ever needed an excuse to buy the beautiful furniture of Broyhill, this is it. And the only place you’ll find Broyhill furniture in the Jacksonville area is at Circle K. Come on in. It’s time to make a wish come true.

The anticipation around here is much greater than waiting for ketchup to find its way out of the bottle.  We simply can’t wait to introduce our brand new Broyhill Furniture Gallery to you.  We’re scurrying around here, rearranging furniture, settin’ the tables, putting out the best china and polishing up the scissors that will cut the ribbon that officially opens our gallery on July 1^st.

Just like Circle K, Broyhill is rich in history and grounded in the belief that quality and value never go out of style.  That’s the reason this leader in home furnishings chose Circle K to be their exclusive dealer in Northeast Florida.  And that’s why Circle K has dedicated 5,000 square feet of our 60,000 square foot showroom to the quality and styles offered by Broyhill.

Join in our celebration and get rewarded.  Circle K will let you live like a King for the price of a Queen.  Yep, for a limited time, we’re offering selected Broyhill king size beds (headboard, footboard, rails) for the same low price of a queen size bed.

And that’s not the only reward.  When you buy two Broyhill chairs and an ottoman from the Chandler collection, we’ll give you the sofa free!  Plus we’ve got Broyhill sofas marked down drastically, fabric and leather.

For our Grand Opening celebration, we’re offering interest free financing ‘til 2012, with approved credit.

So come on down for the big celebration.  We’ll be waitin’ for ya.

Summer conjures up images of sitting on the porch, sippin’ lemonade and watchin’ the kids run through the sprinkler (so long as it’s your day to water).  That’s a great way to spend a lazy summer afternoon.  We’ve got a better way!  Come on out to Circle K and take advantage of some of the best prices of the season during our Spectacular Summer Sale.  Up to 50, 60 & 70% off (and more) on LOTS of inventory throughout the store.  We’re still tryin’ to clear some space for our new Broyhill Gallery that will grand open next month.  That means we’re markin’ stuff down so you can’t resist takin’ it home.  With over 50 quality brands to choose from, and every style from country to contemporary, you’re bound to find the perfect piece at prices that are easy on the pocketbook.

So, finish up that glass of sweet ice tea…we won’t rush ya’…and then come on down to Circle K.  We can’t wait to see ya’.

With all the new brand name furniture galleries we’ve been bringing in lately, we’ve got to free up some space to hold all this new inventory. That means clearing out our warehouse. So the entire Circle K Furniture staff went to work preparing for our biggest inventory reduction sale ever. Everything in our 60,000 square foot warehouse has to go. Our goal? To move it all out by Memorial Day! How do we intend to do that? Mark it all at sacrifice prices! Up to 80% off. That’s just 20 cents on the dollar. It is really a once in a lifetime opportunity to own quality furniture at rock bottom prices. So don’t you miss this once in our lifetime event.

Of course, all the brands we carry at Circle K are “the good stuff.” So everything in this huge warehouse sale is quality, brand name furniture that will stand the test of time. In our warehouse you’ll find Broyhill, Lane, Hooker, Aico, Better Homes & Gardens, Best, Simmons, Sunny Designs, Standard, Signature, Albany, Shadow Mountain and oh so many more. Its first come first served, so you’ll want to start shopping early. But with $1,500,000 in excess inventory to move, no matter when you come, you’ll likely find a huge selection from which to choose.

Our warehouse is located right across the parking lot from our showroom, so it’s real easy to find. And if you feel like checking out our new furniture galleries, stop into the showroom, too. Ya’ll come. We’ll be watching for ya’!

What makes microfibers such a great choice for furniture?  They’re beautiful and functional.  It’s all about holding their shape, having tremendous durability and powerful stain resistance!

Microfibers are actually very fine fibers that are woven together very tightly.  That’s what gives them body and a depth to the fabrics from which they are made.  Microfiber fabrics drape very well, are light and very fine, but not at all flimsy.  It’s performance with beauty.

The fibers are actually one-third the diameter of cotton, one-quarter the diameter of fine wool, and one hundred times finer than human hair.  “Denier” is the term used to define diameter or fineness of a continuous or filament fiber such as silk or man-made fibers.  Denier is the weight in grams of a 9000-meter length of fiber or yarn.  The higher the number, the thicker the fiber.  In order to be called “microfiber,” it must be less than one denier.  Fine silk is about 1.25 denier.  A microfiber needs to be 0.9 denier or finer.

But enough about the technical aspects of microfiber.  What is important to you and me is that it drapes beautifully, wears extremely well, and is a breeze to clean. Once you own furniture with microfiber, you are likely to become a microfiber enthusiast, telling everyone you know about how wonderful it is and how you don’t know how you managed before you got it.  Especially if you have pets or kids.

Today, you can get microfibers in the look and feel of suede, leather, even cordoroy.  So, with microfiber you’ve got the best of all worlds.

Figuring out where to put your furniture is like trying to complete a jigsaw puzzle. What you imagine in your head or on a floor plan often doesn’t come out the way you’d hoped it might. That’s when decorating anxiety usually starts to kick in. Fortunately, there are some basic rules that will help you avoid aggravation and save you both time and money.

1. Create a Conversation Space When arranging your seating, a U-shaped conversation area is ideal, while an L-shaped area is always uncomfortable. A sofa and a matching pair of chairs easily establish a comfortable U-shaped configuration that allows everyone who is seated to have an intimate chat facing everyone else. A sectional sofa or a sofa and loveseat that form an L-shape, on the other hand, make everyone “twist and shout” when trying to have a conversation.

2. Focus Attention to One Area Almost every living room has at least one natural focal point. If yours has a fireplace, that will no doubt be it. Other focal points might be a picture window with a wonderful view or a pair of French doors. Whatever the focal point of your room, be sure you arrange your furniture to take advantage of it — since everyone’s eyes will naturally be drawn to it in any case.

3. Think in Pairs To create a beautiful room, think in pairs. If you have a good piece without a mate, find it a partner.
* End tables will complement each other if they are of similar size and finish.
* Two different upholstered chairs can be slip-covered in the same fabric to create a pair, so long as they are of similar height and scale.
* Fit two lamps of similar height and style with new, matching shades.

4. Make the Most of a Small Space Is your entrance foyer or vestibule too small to accommodate a commode or table? Try a narrow bench instead. It will be handy for setting down packages and sitting on to remove wet boots.

5. Group Furniture Wisely When you walk around your home, are you comfortable, or do you feel as if you were navigating an obstacle course? If your furniture is creating obstacles to your comfort, here are a couple of problem areas to watch for:
* Be sure you living room chairs and sofa are grouped close together. Otherwise, anyone walking through the living room will be forced to cross between those who are seated and interrupt their conversation.
* If possible, avoid having the traffic pattern cross in front of the television. To keep from blocking anyone’s view, try to reconfigure the seating so that someone “passing through” will be walking behind the sofa instead of in front of it.

6. Create Balance With Chairs In small rooms, use armless upholstered chairs such as slipper style, which will allow more space than chairs with arms but will provide a more comfortable, small-scale alternative to wooden chairs. If your budget won’t allow you to buy a pair of matching chairs, purchase one chair and a matching ottoman. Until you can afford the second chair, use the ottoman as a “second” seat by placing the chair on one side of your coffee table and the ottoman on the other side. You’ll have two places to sit with the effect of a matching pair.
