Steen’s Latest Finds: A Fresh Wave of One-of-a-Kind Pieces
When the Buyer Shops Like a Designer
Every great store has a secret weapon.
At Out of the Box, it’s Steen.
He’s not just a co-owner—he’s our most dedicated “professional shopper,” constantly traveling, sourcing, and uncovering pieces that most people would never come across on their own .
From multi-day trips to Colorado to local consignments right here in Nebraska, the result is a constantly evolving collection of furniture and décor that feels anything but ordinary.
Why This Drop Is Different
This isn’t just a restock.
It’s a curated mix of:
- Designer pieces
- Vintage finds
- One-of-a-kind items
- Functional furniture with character
And much of it? Just hit the floor.
Meaning you’re seeing it first.
Statement Seating That Sets the Tone
Some pieces instantly define a room.
A Restoration Hardware leather lounge chair and ottoman set does exactly that—tufted, broken-in leather with rich patina that only improves with time.
It’s:
- Comfortable
- Substantial
- Timeless
The kind of piece you build a room around.
Tables That Work Hard (and Look Good Doing It)
Function meets design in this lineup.
A Baker Furniture three-tier side table with a drawer and aged brass pull offers both storage and structure—perfect beside a sofa or chair.
A Sarreid brass-clad entry table introduces texture and shine, balanced by a warm wood base.
And for something more unique, a vintage spinning oak bookcase doubles as a side table—practical, but with real personality.
Storage with Character
Storage doesn’t have to be boring.
A six-drawer cabinet in rich red tones with floral accents brings color and craftsmanship into any space.
A Drexel Heritage leather storage ottoman offers hidden functionality—plus a surface you can actually use.
And a Hancock & Moore ottoman with a pop-up tray adds flexibility for everyday living.
These are the pieces that make life easier—and look better doing it.
Unique Finds You Won’t See Anywhere Else
This is where things get interesting.
A stone sculpture of an Indian chief on horseback—heavy, detailed, and signed—adds sculptural presence and history.
A vintage drafting table with adjustable top brings both function and a creative edge.
And an iron-framed side table with reptile-pattern top introduces texture you don’t find every day.
These are true conversation pieces.
Seating That Balances Comfort & Style
For additional seating, a pair of leatherette armchairs with nailhead detailing offers structure with a softer edge.
They’re versatile enough for:
- Living rooms
- Offices
- Bedrooms
And easy to mix with both modern and traditional pieces.
Just In: Even More to Explore
The second wave of arrivals adds even more depth:
- A vintage Lane cedar chest with mid-century appeal
- A La Barge hand-painted mirror in gold and black tones
- Ornate brass table lamps with classic detailing
- A wall-mounted rack with wood and metal accents
- A Kelly Wearstler alabaster wall light with polished nickel finish
Each piece adds another layer of possibility.
How Steen Shops (and Why It Matters)
The goal isn’t volume—it’s discovery.
Every trip, every consignment, every piece is chosen because it offers:
- Quality
- Character
- Value
That’s what makes the showroom feel different every time you walk through it.
