Tree Tables Look Great, Save Trees

Posted by A Furniture Blog under Apartments, Home Furniture, creative

Brooklyn-based artist April Hannah has unveiled a beautiful set of modern kids furniture crafted entirely from sustainable materials. Designed with city apartment living in mind (read: not much space, parents desperate to retain beauty and stylishness in the home), these tree-inspired tables and stools are made from FSC-certified wood and feature eco-friendly finishes. Sized for children from the ages of 5-10.

When furnishing our homes, all too often we forget about the bathroom. The bathroom, however small, is one of the most visited areas of the house, among residents and guests alike. That’s why we were so excited to see a selection of innovative sinks on Yanko Designs, including the beauty pictured above.

Whether you’re redecorating your home or simply replacing a specific piece of furniture, it’s important to shop in accordance with your style. Your style — or design aesthetic — is the quality that ties all of your furniture together, even more than color, texture, or materials. It makes home feel like home, and tells all of your guests a little something about you.

Take a look at the following common styles and see which one sounds like you.

Traditional. Does the idea of a Victorian-style loveseat excite you? What about a hand-carved vanity and mirror? If so, you probably prefer traditional items — those pieces featuring shapes and textures that have been around since the 19th century (or earlier). Shopping for this style might sound expensive, but with antique shops and a little elbow grease, anything is possible!

Retro. Like traditional, retro style furnishings are a blast from the past, although their origin is not so distant. Retro pieces come from the 60s and 70s and might include platform beds on sale, diner-style kitchen sets, and shag carpeting. For a really cool set up, throw in a vintage record player!

This is only the first half the list — check back tomorrow for part two.
