CURTAIN CALL’S STORY

The year was 1999.  A local interior designer had a marvelous idea. 

She realized there was not an avenue to sell gorgeous, previously owned window treatments as her clients redecorated; thus, she made the decision to begin a consignment business.  Voila….. Curtain Call was born!

The small annual event grew from the consignment of just window treatments to today, an enormous bi-annual month-long consignment sale event encompassing nearly 80,000 sf and over 14,000 consigned home décor items.  While a complete list of what we sell is listed on our website under consignment instructions, we accept furniture, rugs, lamps, bedding, home décor, art, mirrors, and of course, window treatments. 

We began with a small mailing list of friends and designers.  Through word of mouth, local advertising, and organically growing our mailing list and followers, we continually expand our footprint to an “East Coast” entity! 

Our consignors are thrilled with the quick sale of their items, which results in a win/win for both the consignors and shoppers.  The process is quite simple.  Once our followers learn of our upcoming consignment sale, they are quick to register online via our website.  For a $10 registration fee, the consignor is able to consign their home décor items with us.  Whether they choose to price and tag their own items, or have us do all the  leg work, the rest is on us.  Curtain Call will stage the store to resemble an “Ethan Allen” type showroom.  Each item has its place.  Check out our photo gallery for past sale posts!  

We offer a limited drop off time period for acceptance of consigned items.  Once this period has ended, we are hard at work getting the store fully decorated in preparation of our Grand Opening.  The selling period is nearly three weeks in length, which allows the consignors ample opportunity to  have their items sold.  This also offers customers ample time to  shop, and return to shop during our final discounted sale days.  

At the conclusion of our sale, there is a designated pick up day for all consignors who wish to pick up their unsold items.  Otherwise, the event is a simple “one drop” event.  All remaining items are then donated to local charities.  A check and donation receipt are mailed to each consignor at the conclusion of the sale.

We are proud to partner with CARITAS and Habitat for Humanity, as well as several additional local charities throughout the Richmond area.  Families served by these charities are able to use Curtain Call’s donated items for those in need in our community. The generosity of our consignors donations have made our consignment sale events a win/win for all.  

In addition to our consignment sale event, we are proud to offer Estate Sale services for those needing assistance with the disposition of the contents of their home.  Additionally, we host fundraiser sales on behalf of CARITAS at their headquarters.  

For more detailed information on our consignment sale events, estate sales, and CARITAS fundraiser sales, please refer to the designated tabs at the top of each page.  We look forward to having your join us and sharing our event with your family and friends!  Please follow us on Facebook at Curtain Call Home & Décor Consignment Sale, and Instagram at #curtaincallrva.
