This holiday season we decided to bring you a handful of curated wish lists from some friends who have an eye for design. Enjoy!

Casey’s Wish List

Casey DeBois, an interior designer for Homepolish, is a great supporter of Furnish Green, purchasing pieces not only for clients but for herself as well. She has put together her personal Furnish Green Christmas list to share with all of us. Some strong and beautifully designed pieces with a couple of fun quirky items mixed in:

1. Tufted Mustard Button Ottoman – “I could collect chairs and this one is small – so it’s ok. The yellow/brass combo is great and it is good for flexible seating, when you have company over.”

2. Chromcraft Creamsicle and Chrome Bench Settee – “I’ve been pitching this to everyone. These would look great in a small office waiting area, or an entry area of a home. Pair with a great wall covering or accent wall.”

3. Set of 4 Mid Century Knoll Wire Chairs – “KNOLL Chairs! Great classic timeless design, can easily re-do cushions and restore if needed.”

4. Mid Century Ridged 9-Drawer Dresser – “This. I love this piece and think it would be best in a bedroom or living room area, above it I would install an interesting gallery wall.”

5. Ivory Bush Coral – “This is great for bookcase styling. You can use as a chic bookend or you can display on top of pile of flat books.”

6. Peter the Tiger – “This is just awesome. I would maybe put it in my entry area, along side an umbrella holder. I think it would be fun to come home to Peter; he’s definitely more of a watch guard then my dog, Tuck.”

Richards’ Wish List

Furnish Green regular customer, Richards Jarden, seems to constantly have his eye on our website.  With a particular taste for accent pieces and small stands, it has not been uncommon for the FG staff to see such pieces depart for the land of Jarden shortly after being posted online.

Nathan’s Wish List

We asked Nathan Hescock, owner and buyer for Furnish Green, to put together a list of  some of his most-loved pieces in the showroom right now. While we try not to pick favorites, it is only inevitable. Check out what he came up with:

1. Chromcraft Tomato and Chrome 2-Seater with Side Table – “This came from a  dentist’s office that was closing after 60 years. It not only looks cool, but was made for heavy use.”

2. Antique Mission Tiger Oak Arts & Crafts Desk – “This piece came from an abandoned house very close to my own. I just love the classic Mission style and the idea that it had been spared the wear and tear of daily use.”

3. Al Pacino Scarface Framed Oil Painting – “I kind of just like the way he’s looking off into the distance figuring out his next move.”

4. Jade Stained Glass Art Deco Industrial Lamp – “I bought this piece from my friend Caesar, an art dealer. I’m thinking about taking it home to use in my own office.”

5. Rustic Industrial Machinist Cabinet – “I found this in the back of a garage from a house in my hometown. It was buried in a pile of rubbish.”

6. Metal Tornado Mid Century Table Lamp – “I love the wide twisting base and how it narrows until it hits the shade.”

7. Mid Century 3-Drawer 2-Door Credenza – “The slight convex top gives it the perfect combination of masculine and feminine. Some pieces just have ideal proportions, and I think this one’s got it.”
