New Website Coming Soon!
We are very excited to announce that within the next couple of weeks, we will be launching a new website! Now that our current site is a couple of years old, it’s in need of an upgrade for the sake of our customers, that’s you! Here’s a bit about what you should expect:
Features and Functionality:
The new site will have better functionality and will also feature an easy-to-use mobile site! We want you to have the cleanest navigational experience as possible with our fresh new design and layout. Our Blog and social media will have a more prominent presence to help keep you up to date on things like sales and awesomely educational furniture info while also encouraging you to engage and interact with us.
Design Updates:
In addition to updates in functionality and content, the new website will boast a more visually vibrant and cohesive appearance while maintaining the simple and intuitive framework that we all know and love. A new diagram illustrating our process, and page identifiers employing the FG icon set add a little more of our personality and make for an easier navigation experience.
Newsletter:
If you’re not really into social media but you want to know what’s going on at Furnish Green, you can now sign up for our newsletter right on the homepage. The emails will still be fairly infrequent and will only be sent out when we’ve got some exciting news, like a sale or fun blog feature. If you thought you were already signed up but have not been receiving any emails from us, just go ahead and sign up again to be safe.
Featured Blogs: These will reside on the homepage.
Dwellings – This blog series features the homes and businesses of our FG regulars. We love to see the ways that customers use our pieces to thoughtfully furnish their spaces. We then share their spaces with you to serve as a source of inspiration. Let us know if you would like to be featured! Even if you don’t have a ton of FG items, but you’re proud of your spot, let us know because we would love to show it off!
A Record Blog: This is a recurring blog series that covers all things records and will mostly highlight the vinyl we carry in our showroom. Some of you may not know this, but, alongside our vintage furniture stock, we carry an affordable vinyl record selection. You will be able to buy blog featured lp’s on the site, with the option to have them shipped anywhere.
So there ya have it! We hope you’re as excited as we are!
Keep an eye out for the updated site and any fun events that might go along with it!
Dwellings Issue X: Turtle Bay
My name is Marielle, and while you may know me as a Furnish Green employee, I’m a Furnish Green regular customer as well, which is probably to be expected… I’ve always loved vintage furniture. Growing up with my mom, who is an avid garage-saler and thrift store shopper, made me feel right at home at Furnish Green from the beginning.
I’ve lived in Midtown East Manhattan for about 3 years in a neighborhood known as Turtle Bay, and after working at FG for 2 years, I’ve acquired a good bit of stuff. My apartment is small, but the ceilings are high and it’s on the fifth floor of a walk-up building so it’s a pretty pleasant bright space.
As far as my design style goes, I definitely have a tendency toward the feminine and ornate with a serious focus on (possible obsession with) flowers… alive, dried, painted… you get the point.
Lampshade turned jewelry display and organization.
It’s a girly space, but I like to think that I haven’t gone overboard. I’ve recently started incorporating a bit of brass to offset the wood and upholstered pieces, particularly in my living room, i.e. the bold brass and glass coffee table and the compact and convenient brass record rack.
More FG stuff: The stained glass swag lamp above my kitchen island (featured above) is definitely one of my favorite, and earliest acquired, FG items. The rustic wooden clothing rack in my bedroom (featured below) was a necessary addition to the apartment, considering my rapidly growing wardrobe and the limitations of only one closet.
Since working at Furnish Green and getting a chance to see all of the furniture styles that are out there, I’ve become more selective about what I like and what works in my home. There are definitely some pieces that I’m looking to replace, but it’s nice to be able to wait it out and find just the right fit.
I hope you enjoyed getting a brief glimpse into my home! Stay tuned for future posts, and email us at furnishgreen@gmail.com for a chance to have your space featured!
Furnish Green on Louie!
Our own 1930s Art Deco Iron and Jade Stained Glass Table Lamp was featured on this season of Louie! It’s a beauty so we’re very happy that it got a chance to make its big TV debut!
