Our Chesterfield sofa by Hickory White may be 8 years old but I think it looks and feels as good as new. If you buy something that is well made once, you do not have to do it again any time soon. Opt for a classic shape and a neutral palate and swap out your accessories and pillows when you feel
you need a bit of a change.

About six years ago Keith and I took a road trip to Delaware to deliver this stunning antique English pine hutch. Often referred to as Welsh dressers they are perfect additions to the modern kitchen. Happy to report it is back in New Jersey. noplacelikehome

Take a look at my https://britishcottageblog.com/ to see us featured in a Two Rivers Times story on how to freshen up your home for fall.

So some of you are probably asking yourselves, "Now that summer is almost over, how am I ever going to get my house together this fall?"
Well the good news is traditional style is experiencing a massive comeback--although I could argue it never really vanished--just laid low for a while.
But this is not replicating your grandmother's forbidding, formally attired rooms; comfort reigns, with overstuffed sofas and armchairs.
Character comes from rich woodwork and architectural details. And the greige era may be officially retired while deeper, saturated hues like burgundy, olive green and chocolate brown look fresh and appealing.

Hopefully this video will lure you off the beach: a glimpse of our new arrivals featuring the best selection of American made home furnishings in Monmouth County. For a small store we have an amazing reach and our current inventory features some of the best items showcased at the spring International Furniture Market in High Point, North Carolina. We have sofas and armchairs by Century Furniture and Sherrill Furniture Brands created by nationally known designers like Thomas O'Brien, Tara Shaw, and Phoebe Howard. And this is in addition to an ever-evolving lively mix of antique and modern vintage furniture with a dash of mid-century and contemporary added because--why not?

Love this client and love maximalism! So tired of looking at big black televisions stuck to big bare walls.

There is no way you could know these homeowners moved in just days ago. All the furniture is from British Cottage, and former homes and looks terrific here. The custom pine breakfront originally held the tv, now it is a gorgeous way to showcase things they love—but hiding the necessary but less decorative items. And who does not love a round table? And faux bamboo chairs? So timeless. So inviting.
What is instructive is that furniture can be forever. Buy well and wisely, avoiding trends and your home will never go out of style.
