When I’m sourcing furniture or accessories for clients and I arrive at a store without a return policy the only way I can remotely consider buying it is to take it ‘on approval’.
When a merchant gives you something to take home ‘on approval’ they usually take a credit card number or imprint but don’t process it until they get a phone call from you to confirm that it’s going to work. Many times they’ll only let you take the item for 24 to 48 hours.
If the store has a firm ‘no return’ policy and won’t let me take an item on approval I leave it there. I can’t possibly shop on behalf of a client without knowing the item can be returned if it doesn’t work. Many of my client aren’t aware that they can take furniture or accessories and try them this way so here’s the official inside scoop :)
The world changes once you are a celebrity designer travelling the globe for objects and furniture for your clients so until I’m at that point (very soon :) I still need to know it can be returned.
I’m currently looking for 2 X benches for a client’s living room! These are some options that I’ve found! They are going to be in a beige and brown zebra print! I’m liking this one (above).
Speaking of shopping, I’m going to Seattle this weekend (early) tomorrow morning to spruce up my spring wardrobe! The dollar is at par so that means everything there will be 50% cheaper :)
I am also seeing two of my readers to help them with their colour and decorating decisions! I’m excited, work and play all wrapped up together!
Have a great weekend my lovelies!
