Maybe it’s because I haven’t been to Price Chopper in Poughkeepsie for a while, but I’ve certainly passed it a zillion times. Maybe I’m just oblivious, but I am the only one that didn’t know that a new home furniture store opened up in the old TJ Maxx store in the same plaza as Price Chopper. When I first pulled in I thought it was a temporary Halloween shop. But I was wrong.

A home furniture store that I don’t know about? It seems so absurd. I am the queen of home stores. I love shopping for furniture and other things for my house. And I only live a few miles from this new store. I can’t believe I didn’t hear anything about it sooner. Unfortunately, time was not on my side when I made my discovery so I couldn't go in and check it out, but I’ll tell you what I know.

It’s called IDF Furniture, and it’s actually located next to Millspaugh Furniture which I thought was kind of weird, but I guess the more choices you have when furniture shopping the better. There were a lot of shiny bright lamps in the windows and a sign that said Grand Opening. So, I guess I’m not that late in finding out about this new store.

It’s big enough to have a website that you can check out, and apparently they also sell mattresses. I’ll definitely have to pay it a visit soon and I’ll let you know what I think. I’m just happy to see that big empty building full of furniture and other home products, and hopefully, lots of customers.
