Staff Picks: What Our Team Loves Right Now

A Look Inside the Pieces We Can’t Stop Talking About

Every so often, we turn to the people who know the store best—our team.

They walk the showroom every day, unpack new arrivals, and see firsthand what stands out. So when we ask for their favorite pieces, the answers are always interesting.

These aren’t just beautiful items—they’re pieces that caught someone’s eye, sparked a reaction, or felt like something they’d bring into their own home.

Why Staff Picks Matter

In a store filled with one-of-a-kind finds, staff picks help highlight what truly stands out.

These pieces often share a few things in common:

  • Strong design presence
  • Unique materials or craftsmanship
  • Versatility across spaces
  • That hard-to-define “something special”

They’re the items people keep coming back to.

Relaxed Summer Living: Jody’s Picks

Jody was drawn to pieces that feel easy, comfortable, and perfect for warmer months.

A bamboo and rattan sofa paired with a matching accent chair creates a relaxed, indoor-outdoor feel. With rolled arms and light cushions, these pieces are equally at home in a sunroom, patio, or casual living space.

It’s the kind of setup that invites you to sit down, stay awhile, and enjoy the moment.

Sculptural & Artistic: Sunny’s Picks

Sunny gravitates toward pieces with artistic presence.

A hand-carved wood wall hanging featuring an island scene stands out for its depth and detail. It’s less about decoration and more about texture and craftsmanship—something that draws you in the longer you look at it.

She also highlights a Chapman table lamp with classic Greek-inspired lines, proving that even functional pieces can feel sculptural and refined .

Classic & Timeless: Rhonda’s Picks

Rhonda leans toward timeless design elements that always work.

A pair of carved wood oval mirrors brings symmetry and elegance to any space. Hung vertically or horizontally, they add both function and visual balance.

She also selected a pair of diamond-front commodes with claw feet—pieces that feel traditional but still stand out thanks to their intricate detailing.

Texture & Layering: Jackie’s Picks

Jackie’s selections focus on adding depth to a room.

A wool plaid rug in rich tones of black, gold, rust, and ivory anchors a space while adding warmth and pattern.

She also chose a hammered brass coffee table—subtle shine with a muted finish that works in both formal and casual settings.

These are the kinds of pieces that quietly elevate everything around them.

Statement Furniture: Steen’s Picks

Steen has a talent for spotting standout furniture—and it shows.

A five-piece antique German bedroom set, complete with hand-painted details and rich color, brings history and craftsmanship into the home.

He’s also drawn to large architectural elements, like oversized doors sourced from luxury homes—pieces that can completely transform a space.

Handcrafted with Purpose: Don’s Picks

Don’s picks reflect craftsmanship and intention.

Handmade wooden children’s rockers—playful yet beautifully constructed—show how even functional items can be meaningful and lasting.

He also chose a carved stone or alabaster chandelier, a piece that combines weight, material, and presence into something truly unique.

Comfort Meets Style: More Team Favorites

A pair of plaid barrel chairs offers both comfort and visual interest, making them easy to incorporate into living spaces.

Vintage mid-century children’s chairs bring personality and a touch of nostalgia—perfect for adding something unexpected.

Patriotic-themed table lamps in red, white, and blue add a playful seasonal accent while still feeling classic.

Just In: New Arrivals to Explore

Alongside these staff favorites, new items continue to arrive—adding even more variety to the showroom .

Recent highlights include:

  • Brass chandeliers with Art Deco influence
  • Rustic barnwood mirrors with strong presence
  • Upholstered armchairs in warm, neutral tones
  • Statement lighting and decorative accents

With inventory constantly changing, there’s always something new to discover.

Why These Picks Stand Out

What makes staff picks special isn’t just the design—it’s the reaction they create.

These are the pieces that:

  • Catch your eye across the room
  • Feel different from everything else
  • Work in multiple types of spaces
  • Make you stop and take a second look

And often, those are the pieces that end up defining a room.
