Staff Picks: What We’re Loving Right Now (And Why It Matters)
A Peek Inside Our Design Minds
One of the best parts of what we do?
We get to see everything that comes through the door.
New arrivals. One-of-a-kind finds. Pieces with history, personality, and craftsmanship you just don’t see every day.
And even though we can’t take it all home (trust us—we’ve tried), we do get to share what catches our eye.
This week, we’re pulling back the curtain a bit and sharing our current staff favorites—the pieces that made us stop, look twice, and imagine exactly where they’d live .
Jackie’s Picks: Artistic & Unexpected
Jackie gravitates toward pieces that feel expressive and a little different.
A round onyx vessel sink with creamy tones and natural veining is equal parts function and sculpture—perfect for elevating a powder room.
And a vintage oil painting of Mother Mary, framed in gold with rich, saturated blues, brings depth, emotion, and timeless presence to any wall.
These are pieces that don’t just sit quietly—they speak.
Steen’s Picks: Bold, Architectural & Statement-Making
Steen’s eye always leans toward pieces with presence.
A Ronbow apron-front farm sink—clean, substantial, and built for real use—anchors a kitchen with both form and function.
A medieval-style leather banner in red with gold and black detailing adds dramatic, old-world character.
And a large iron grate hanger (coat rack, pot rack… you decide) brings versatility with a strong architectural feel.
These are pieces that define a space.
Kim’s Picks: Comfort Meets Design
Kim’s selections balance comfort with elevated style.
A Restoration Hardware Maxwell leather sofa in dark brown offers that perfectly broken-in look—deep, relaxed, and built for everyday living.
And a motorized American Leather recliner with swivel base adds modern comfort with clean design—proof that functional can still feel high-end.
Her picks are all about living well.
Rhonda’s Picks: Vintage Charm with Character
Rhonda leans into pieces that feel collected and storied.
A vintage wood wash basin with green exterior and red interior brings color, history, and rustic charm.
And a hand-carved Asian garment stand (kimono hanger) adds both function and sculptural beauty—perfect for display or everyday use.
These are the pieces that make a home feel layered.
Jody’s Picks: Refined & Timeless
Jody’s eye is all about balance and elegance.
A Global Views cabinet in birch and walnut offers clean lines with practical storage.
An E.J. Victor nightstand with marble top brings classic materials and refined detail into the bedroom.
And an original painting, “Horizon 527 Platte River” by Nebraska artist Anne Burkholder, adds a soft, local connection through art.
These are the quiet standouts—the ones that work anywhere.
Why Staff Picks Matter
These aren’t just random items.
They’re pieces we:
- Notice immediately

- Can easily imagine in real homes
It’s a curated look at what stands out in a constantly changing showroom.
And often? These are the pieces that don’t stick around long.
