Inspirations: Pine Trestle Farm Table

We love our Pinterest feed because it gives us so many great ideas about how to decorate with all of our furniture here at Furnish Green. Lately we've been taking note of many ways to mix and match dining tables and chairs. We think a rustic piece like our pine trestle dining table above would look great with a super modern dining set like in this image that we found on Pinterest. We also love the contrast between the rich dark wood and the bright white of these chairs. What a great idea!

Before & After: Shabby White Vanity

We really took a great deal of care with refinishing this beautiful 1930s vanity. Made of pearl walnut, it had a lot of surface flaws and the ornately carved, two-tone wood finish was a quite a bit for the modern eye to take in. So we refinished it in white with extreme attention to preserve all of its beautiful details. We kept the original hardware as well. We think that the etched, beveled mirror really pops with the new white finish. And that the new, more neutral look of this piece makes it a perfect fit in a more eclectic bedroom!

Product Spotlight: Grundig Majestic Hi-Fi Console

It's no secret that we're a bunch of stereo junkies here at Furnish Green. Recently we picked up this Grundig Majestic Hi-Fi console and we're all in love. Grundig began making radio receivers in Germany after World War II, and by mid century they were making the Majestic line of stereo consoles. Made in the late 1950s to early 60s, our Grundig Hi-Fi system is in great working condition and has built-in speakers, turntable, and a mirrored storage compartment. Beautiful type on the receiver as well, and best of all, it sounds amazing! It also has a custom-cut piece of glass to preserve the surface, so you can place a television on top with no worries of scratching it. Come on into the store and you can give this piece a test ride!
