Working for/with/on the house isn't always blood, sweat and tears (although it does often seem to be the case). Sometimes, a new-to-you (not-as-new-to-us-anymore) MCM house can mean fun with new furnishings…
Bedroom: We'd been without a dresser for some time and we knew that our older, walnut De La Espada stuff (bed and side table) would be tough (and/or insanely expensive) to match, if only because of the fading/patina of the wood, so we decided to go an entirely different route (somewhat). De La Espada makes a line called Atlantico and we picked up a "coordinating" (oak) dresser from John at AREA in San Francisco. There's a few places in town to find this line, but John is much more affable than most and an overall joy to work with. John is also a fellow Eichler owner in Marin.
Den: When we moved in, we knew we were going to need to get new "den" furniture. Our not-so-old pieces were just a bit too big for the space, although insanely comfortable.
So, we finally ordered and received our new "recliner and sofa" — in our case, a Papa-Bear chair and Split-Rail settee from Modernica — ordered through Emmett at Inside Modern in San Francisco.
So… anyone need a sofa and club-chair (ad to come)…
