Sunday Selections: Retro & Kitsch
We’re trying out a new feature that showcases some of the week’s new additions for our weekend shoppers.
Our inventory at Furnish Green has pieces as old as the mid-1800s, and as new as the 2000s. But there’s a special place in our hearts for those gauchest of styles, “retro” and “kitsch.” We’ve gotten in a number of pieces this week that would fit perfectly in a 70s family room or den. Whether you prefer to mix in whimsical accents sporadically among more serious furniture or you stick to the kooky fun look throughout, we think there’s room for these in any space.
For the rest of this week’s new arrivals, head to the Just In page! If you want to stay in-the-know on what’s coming into the showroom daily or you’re looking for inspiration on how to incorporate vintage styles into your own space, follow @furnishgreen on Instagram!
In 1924, after quitting his job as an executive at Basset Furniture Company, Thomas Bahnson Stanley decided to start his own furniture business. At the young age of 33, he bought a plot of land in Virginia and turned it into Stanleytown. A factory was built, streets were laid, and homes were constructed for his workers to live in. His factory became one of the leading furniture manufacturers in the country, producing quality furniture that impressed the markets in Grand Rapids, Chicago and New York. Even through The Great Depression, they remained a strong business because Stanley took such pride in keeping his workers and his customers happy.
