Furniture is the rooms personality. It breathes life into whatever space it fills. From the family room to master bedroom to the back yard – the right pieces bring it all together and express what you really want the space to reflect.

What about the Grandma’s heirloom piece that deserves a proper audience. Can it become a timeless anchor for the room to build around? Yes! Sometimes ASIS and sometimes with a few tweaks – classic pieces can hold their own in today’s world.
