Wish Fountain Springs Up Donation
During Catawba Furniture Mall’s “New Look” celebration on March 14^th, Habitat For Humanity was presented with a $600 donation.  The furniture mall’s “Make a Wish” fountain was dedicated several years ago to support the Habitat for Humanity organization and its mission, “Building in partnership with God’s people in need.”  Steve Ikerd, president of Ikerd Enterprises and owner of Catawba Furniture Mall, presented Mitzi Gellman, executive director of Habitat for Humanity with the donation.  Commenting to Ms. Gellman during the presentation, Mr. Ikerd said, “As long as people continue to make wishes at this fountain, so will the monies continue to go to support the Habitat program.”  Remember, helping someone is just a wish away.

A Solid Line Up for New Retailer
Heritage Home Furnishings located in the Catawba Furniture Mall is proud to present two new lines: Vaughan-Bassett and Virginia House. Heritage Home welcomes these two brands to its new home fashions lineup. Vaughan-Bassett and Virginia House are well-known for their own heritage of great quality solid wood furnishings and affordable pricing. These two brands fit perfectly with Heritage Home.
A signature collection from Virginia House, the Louis Phillipe collection, reflects the style and grace of the early 1800’s in France. Smooth rounded shapes of the case pieces accent the collection, and the graceful style of the beds reflect the period in time in which it existed. The simple keystone hardware adds to the rich, warm, dark cherry color of the group. Can you say ooh la la!
Design elements in this collection provide solid wood construction, including drawer sides and backs, English dovetailed rear drawer joints, wood back panels stained and lacquered, dust panels between drawers and a multi-step finessed finishing process. Since the collection is of solid wood construction, no two pieces will be identical. The variations in grain and coloring are natural and enhance the beauty of this solid wood furniture. All of this quality and at a price you can live with.
Vaughan-Bassett is no stranger to solid wood construction and affordability. Classic collections “Rue Royal” and “Jubilee” emulate the brands heritage. Also find a vast collection of entertainment centers and youth/children’s furnishings. Little ones slumber blissfully in the “Authentic Shaker” bunk bed made from solid birch and finished in rich cherry. This space saving bed has a ladder for easy accessibility to the top bunk and a guard rail for added security.
This is definitely a solid line up for Heritage Home Furnishings.

Hickory N.C. Store Leads U.S. Sales
About Last Nite® leads US in sales of Legna
As of October 31, About Last Nite in the Catawba Furniture Mall was leading the nation in sales of Legna by SDH. Legna is a collection of linens for the bed and bath woven from Europe’s finest new natural yarn. A new generation of cellulose yarns, obtained from the wood pulp of managed forests grown for harvest in accordance with Europe’s strict environmental guidelines. This sumptuous fabric combines the luster and soft drape of silk with the familiar ease of cotton.
“SDH is thrilled with the success of our latest introduction Legna. The response nationwide has been fabulous”, stated Catherine Stemmler, Sales Manager for SDH. “However, the rate of sale of this new fiber in North Carolina has been truly outstanding. About Last Nite, a premier retailer of SDH linens, has proven how successful independent stores can be when they believe in a product” continued Stemmler.
“This product has to be seen and touched to be believed” stated Regina Garriga, managing partner of About Last Nite. “We began getting this product in last fall and as soon as it came in we would sell out. We often have customers call us back to tell us how much they love our products and when they call back about this product they are raving. We tested this product in our homes and are impressed with its performance, durability and ease of wear.” “As with all SDH products they have kept the customer in mind. This product has a 17” gusset in the fitted sheet and an oversized top sheet to fit the oversized mattresses. All pillowcases have a covered button closure so they also can be used as a sham as well as a pillowcase. This products is offered in six colors available as sheets, pillowcases, duvets, shams in all sizes, bedskirts and coverlets.”
About Last Nite also showcases the Legna towel collection. It is also a wood fiber product and as with the sheets it is silky to the touch. Garriga stated, “This is truly a European styled towel. It is not as thick as the 100% cotton towel and is banded all the way around each product and is offered in 12 colors. When we tested this product it felt like you were washing your face with a piece of silk. This product also solves the issue of using fabric softener on your towels. Any fabric softener with a petroleum base will coat your towels and linens and they will eventually become less absorbent. With this product you do not need fabric softener to get that soft silky towel because it naturally feels that way.”
To experience the Legna Collection, visit About Last Nite in the Catawba Furniture Mall 828-324-2830. Store hours are Monday – Saturday 10-7.
