Furniture Online – What is New is Old


February 8th, 2008

I’ll admit it.  I am not into decorative pillows, or strategically placed throw blankets, but I am a self admitted furniture junkie.    Mainly, I tend to rescue chests of drawers and occasional tables.   A few years back, there were more side tables in my house than the seating called for, and the home office was a gallery of smiall pieces waiting for the day when they would be rotated in.    I realized a year ago that without a sofa or a bed, all of the rest just wouldn’t come together.  

I found a site where you can actually order a few suitable pieces that may blend your eras together at http://furniturefromhome.com.   Modern furniture is very eclectic, but I find there are a lot of styles that are 1960s and inspired if that is your taste.  You can get a captains bed that hasn’t changed much since the 1970s, and in fact may have more storage.  I have also found some beds that have similar low profiles to those that I was just looking at in a 1960s design book.   And in the living room department, several sectionals can be ordered that have a striking resemblance to what was in the 1970s and early 1980s design books.

For me, although I can really imagine some of these pieces being able to marry the elements of an eclectic home, I am still not 100% sold that I would be comfortable buying all my seating online.

In the next few weeks, I will be getting out my design books and sharing them with you as well.
