Got Guests Coming to Nashville? Get Rid of that Old Furniture!

There’s no getting around the simple fact that Nashville is one friendly city. You couldn’t walk a block in downtown without getting a warm greeting and a cheerful, “how ya’ll doing?” It’s one of the reasons that Nashville has also become such a popular tourist destination. Between all that good music and amazing food, folks who drive through for a day visit often end up staying for a week! And don’t think for a minute it’s just country music and bar-b-que. Nashville also has its own symphony and Broadway style theatre. There’s even a zoo! Of course if you live in Nashville you probably already know how popular your town is based on the amount of family and friends from out of state who are hankering to come and visit.

One of the great things about inviting guests from out of town is you get to play tour guide. Most of the time, Nashville residents take for granted all the amazing opportunities to have fun around town. But if you’ve got to show somebody the sites, you get to enjoy it all over again. If you’re opening up your house this summer for a vacation stay, you might be thinking about freshening things up a bit. This could mean repainting some rooms. That might seem like a big deal, but depending on the size of a room it’s really something that could probably be accomplished in a couple of hours. Most of the work in painting is in the prep work. Making sure you’ve got the floors covered and the windows taped up with painters tape. Then it’s just a matter of rolling out the paint. You might end up spending more time deciding on which color to paint then the actual job itself.

Then there is the matter of furniture. Having guests over is a perfect excuse to think about swapping out your old furniture for some new pieces. How much living have you gotten out of that sofa or loveseat? Is that coffee table covered with drink rings? Maybe you also need to bring in a sofa bed for your company. If you start shopping for some new furniture you might be surprised to find out how many bargains there are to be had around town.

Of course, you’ve got to get rid of that old furniture to make room for the new stuff. Now, even though there was a time when this furniture was new, you have to admit it has seen better days. If not, you’d still hang on to it. Your local Nashville furniture pickup crew, Junk King, can  show up and take away all the stuff you’re getting rid of. These are the same folks who are experienced with hauling away big items like kitchen appliances or piles of construction waste so they can certainly handle your sofa! As soon as you’ve got the new pieces in place you’re feel a whole lot better about opening up your house for visitors.
