Carver Junk Company — cjc home
CJC at Home. Our unique shopping event!
CJC@HOME: April 21-23, 2017
CJC@Home launched just over a year ago, as a unique way for our customers to see Carver Junk Company's furniture and decor in a real home setting. Seeing our refinished, antique and vintage furniture in the warehouse setting of our store locations can make it tough to envision them in an actual home. So, we partnered with local builders to bring our stuff into a new construction home, and CJC at HOME was born.
It's a fun event to tour, and the bonus is that everything in the home is available for purchase while you're there. We stock the whole house, plus the garage, so there are a ton of options from which to choose. The main level of the home has a single, cohesive style design, and the upstairs bedrooms feature a variety of styles.View previous event photos & updates: Spring 2016, Fall 2016
We're excited to announce our Spring 2017 CJC@HOME event, running April 21-23 in the South Metro! The housing market is hot right now [congrats to those of you selling homes!] so the exact location is subject to change up to two weeks before the event [in case one of our Builder's homes sells]. Tickets will be mailed one week before the event, and the exact address will be included on the tickets as well as posted online.
Our inspiration for Spring 2017 is Bohemian Farmhouse. An interesting mix, for sure, and we're excited to show you how to pull it off! The style includes a ton of textures, natural elements like greenery, wood tones, rattan, mixed metals and soft textiles. Antique rugs (turkish, oriental, etc) in bold colors will be featured, along with a mix of mid-century modern, industrial, and antique furniture.
Take a peek at our Inspiration images from Pinterest, and follow us on Instagram at @cjcathome for photos of the actual items heading to the event! Tickets are available for purchase at http://www.cjcathome.com. We hope you'll join us!CJC@HOME: Our best & worst days.
Here's the good. The bad. The best. In that order. Because that's how this event went down. CJC@HOME was last weekend, and Friday & Saturday of the event were amazing. It's just what it sounds like. CJC at a HOME. {we wish this was our own home...but we just borrow it from Lennar for a week.} It's so much easier, and more fun, to imagine our refinished furniture in your home, when you can see it in an actual home instead of our stores.
This home, to be exact. And a shout out to J Fuerst Real Estate Photography. The sod wasn't yet installed for our event, and they rocked the photo editing {and photo-taking...all photos on this post are by them}.
Our team brought in all the inventory, and then Aimee from The Vintage Estate and Gabe from Cotton Seed Designs staged the hell out of it. {That's the actual text they sent me when they were done on Thursday.} And they were right - we promised Modern Fall Farmhouse for this event, and I'm in love with how it was executed. I debated just moving right into the living room & never leaving, but Chad thought it might not look good if I was sitting in my yoga pants on the couch eating ice cream when customers showed up...














































CJC@HOME, Fall 2016 Styled Home Shopping Event
We're styling a home, and you can shop!
CJC@HOME is a new construction Lennar home that we are turning into a CJC store for a weekend. We'll show you how refinished and handmade furniture and decor fit perfectly into a new, modern home. You'll see how to furnish your home in an affordable, sustainable way - all while shopping locally.
Style Inspiration: Modern Fall Farmhouse
Aimee Buss from The Vintage Estate, and Gabe Lindberg from Cotton Seed Designs have teamed up to design this home, and it's a perfect mix of their styles! Aimee embodies everything farmhouse {she's our own personal Joanna Gaines} and Gabe's style is decidedly modern and colorful {she is a professional interior designer, and master of color & texture}. The idea board for the home includes a Fall farmhouse main level, including study, dining room, family room, eat-in kitchen, mud room, and laundry room. The upstairs has a more modern, playful feel with a nursery, loft/play room area, and colorful modern bedrooms {still utilizing CJC's refinished furniture & handmade decor}.
Event Details
The "need to know" event details are here, along with a link to purchase tickets. Here's the bulleted-list version:
- The home is in Victoria, MN.

- Everything is for sale. Most items can be taken home immediately, others will need to be picked up {or delivered} after the event closes on October 9th.

- NEW: All shoppers will have access to our extra inventory in the 4-car garage of the home! Three times as much furniture!

CJC@HOME: Every Last Detail.
Last week, we shared some photos from our CJC@HOME event. We styled & staged an entire new construction home with Carver Junk Company inventory, and then opened the doors to our customers for a one-day sale. Everything in the home was available for purchase, and we had the garage and trailers stocked with additional inventory to replenish the home throughout the day.
