AMSTERDAM MODERN

Enjoy some holiday inspiration from fabulously vintage modern homes as the season winds down and the long lines, exhausted cashiers and holiday song standards (excessively repeated) make one final push to the end. We are unpacking our newly received container and you can view some of our recently added items in the Just Landed section. Possibly a holiday treat can be found...   Maybe a set of vintage deer and ram figures could make your mantel a little more festive. Or a pair of Westnofa chairs to snuggle up on near a roaring fire. Perhaps something geometric like a guiding star in the night or a trio of penguins straight from the North Pole can warm the cockles of your heart and wash away all that bah humbug that has been building to a boiling point of holiday resentment and angst. Don't fret, they are almost here (and almost over). You can look forward to a new year of sweet, sweet forgetting to relieve the holiday fatigue (and lots of delicious pie). Hap...

With Thanksgiving nearly here for those in the US, thoughts of dining and relaxing on Thursday are foremost on the agenda. Giant vintage tables and broken in leather chairs may be the perfect way to deal with the holiday bloat. Currently dreaming of pumpkin pie and turkey... For vegetarians, here's a tasty carved turkey you can put on the table without the guilt. If you still need a dining table or a place to lounge and unbutton your pants on, take a look at the warehouse . We might just have something that can help out with the holiday. Just no pies. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

As everything starts getting colder and days much shorter, warm up with some cozy den style. Anchor any den with a Hans Wegner daybed. Doubles as an extra sleeping spot for unexpected overnight guests unwilling to brave the cold.  Hang a Stilnovo aluminum lamp over a coffee table for intimate lighting. Pair with Rohe Noorwolde Bamboo hoop chair for as extra seating for extra special friends. Layer books, magazines and delicious snacks on a mid century coffee table with a sturdy chrome base . Clear it all off for an impromptu dance party. Throw in some vignettes of your favorite vintage pottery, West German or just a retro curvy ceramic  vessel . Load a bar cart with your favorite spirits to get you through those long winter months. Mix up a barrel of Swedish Glögg to drink away the holiday malaise. Cozy den inspiration with a dash of Hans Wegner. Better with a cocktail and a good book.
