Driving in the hot weather this past weekend was nuts. Thank God Saratoga Consignment Studio is air conditioned! I took a lot of pictures of the chairs I liked. A customer of ours is looking for accent chairs as he is renting out his track-side home for the summer, so I was browsing around. The store offers draperies, pillows, chairs, sofas, end tables, desks, beds and mirrors, many of them at reasonable in prices. There is something for just about anybody’s style. I was most impressed with a carved bookshelf from India, yellow club chairs and a Harden Chair. Saratoga Consignment Studio, recently moved their location to Rte 9, 3306 South Broadway,in Saratoga. Cal
