This beautiful vintage 60s chaise needs a new home. I have 2 other chaises being restored and about 12 other great pieces to go on the site soon.

There are 4 reclining positions easily adjusted by just lifting the arms. Continue reading →

Once at the warehouse, I got a chance to look more carefully at what turned out to be the most unique, exquisite glider I have bought to date. It was originally a beautiful blue, so I let that inspire me to recoat it in the similar, but updated hue, you see today. If you are looking for a unique treasure of a glider, this one’s for you. If I didn’t already have so many….
