At lunchtime I browsed a bit in an Amish Furniture store. I'm vaguely looking for a new bed, a sideboard or hutch, and a media cabinet.
I found a lovely enormous hutch. It is eight foot tall and about ten feet wide. There's no way it would fit in my condo, but the details are wonderful. I seem to gravitate towards huge solid furniture. The only place I could really put large pieces is the bedroom.
I saw two beds that are definite possibilities. One is a sleigh bed, mission style and the other reminded me strongly of my dad's parent's home. But they are both a bit too mission-y for me. I don't think I'd co-exist with a large mission piece very well. My mission leather recliner is fine, but a little goes a long way for me. Most of the stuff was too sleek. I like things a little more rustic. I dig that solid wood though.
I know I can find cheaper prices, but the quality is pretty nice there. I better see if my car needs any major work done before I invest in some nice furniture. I've been putting off an oil change for too long and I think my brakes are overdue for replacement.
