C. Jane's Guide to Provo: DownEast Home & Clothing Review

DownEast Home & Clothing Review - with giveaway and promo code!

Chup and I got invited to check out DownEast Home & Clothing's store this last week. Jealous?

And who knew they now do Clothing in the Home Stores? Kids clothes too. Nobody told me.

Rude.

For those of you who don't know: DownEast is a clothing and home furnishing outlet company with locations in Utah, Idaho, Arizona, California, Nevada, Washington, Colorado AND Wyoming. They have 11 Outfitters stores, 20 mall stores and 8 of these Home & Clothing stores.

Their thing: major name brand clothing and furniture from 40% to 90% off

BUT they also have their own line of both as well.

I've loved DownEast dresses forever. I own 9.

On the other hand, I've always thought our decorating style was a little too....eclectic for DownEast Home.

Hush my mouth and call me Sally; we found some pretty sweet stuff.

The Chief was a little stunned at the sheer number of places to run and hide.

Checking out the felt Bunny Bags. Just in time for Easters. The store was just getting in it's Spring stuff. More of their pictures on the DownEast Home Facebook page.

Wait. They have a BED, made out of a TRAIN?!?!

Awesome.

Thought these were cute. In several colors.

See what I mean?

Some more awesome.

Ever was especially excited to be there.

He has no idea what he's in for.

We asked Tiffany Wakeling, Director of Stores for DownEast Home & Clothing if there was anything she'd like to emphasize.

And there was. She says:

- We get furniture, accessory and clothing shipments several times a week… check your local store for their schedule (or better yet follow delivery & deal alerts on Twitter at www.twitter.com/downeasthome).

- We offer calling lists… so if there is anything you are looking for we will do our best to hunt it down and call you when it arrives… or if you just want to know about sales and promotions, we can personally call you too.

- We have such a wide variety -from everything you need to furnish a nursery, to bedroom, dining room, living room- really, any room in the house. We even get some outdoor furniture and accessories. And lots of great home and seasonal accessories for a quick and inexpensive way to spruce up a room.

THANKS Tiffany!
