Furniture
Where do you buy furniture from? I'm wanting an oak sideboard similar to this
http://www.marksandspencer.com/Sonom...elated-items-3 but everywhere I look all the furniture is really dark, heavily varnished and old fashioned. I can't think of anywhere else to look. The only place I can find anything that is fairly modern is Crate and Barrel and their prices are crazy. |
Re: Furniture
Have you tried overstock.com?

Re: Furniture
I could help if you lived in Houston...
Sorry, don't know of any national stores that stock that kind of furniture. |

Re: Furniture
Unfortunately, you will pay a premium for 'european' furniture here. :(
I had great difficulty when trying to fit out my office here and not have humongous great dark wooden desks with hutches over them. That seems to be the norm here... |

Arhaus have some lovely stuff.
When we lived in Maine, we just went to a local furniture place, who got a lot of stuff from local makers. |

Re: Furniture
Yes it's a problem. The only place I would think of that had something similar would be Crate and Barrel however this doesn't have as much detail on it as the M&S one:

:eek: $2k+ for a sideboard, and they are all dark, varnished ones. You have to check the local stores out if you have one as they do have a good range of stuff and usually pretty good clearance sales now and again...but yeah, pricey :D Best bet for anything decent is still a local indie furniture place...or looking for cheap, get something commissioned at a local technical school? I know the vocational highschool next town over has carpenter students working on furniture for people for a little over cost, to partially fund some of the classes, so that might be worth a look? |

Yes, that's the one I had seen. But the price is more than I want to pay.
