VINTAGE VIBE

New Dining Room Furniture

A new collection of dining room furniture that brings with it a charming vintage vibe. A contrasting palette of wood tone and stark white is not only delightful, but is a wonderful combination of traditional and modern styles.

The dining table and chair are made with select veneers and paint grade materials and rubber wood solids, finished in a two-tone scheme. The wood tone is a weathered russet with saw kerf detailing and offset veneer planking for a handcrafted appearance. Cottage white paint has rub-through effects on the edges. Though the turned legs give them a traditional look, the overall design and finish make them fit for any space.

The island table follows a similar style. It has thick solid wood framed top that overhangs back side of island for convenient seating options. It has turned legs, open shelving and door cabinet and includes two removable accent baskets.

The accompanying turned leg stools have solid wood contoured seats. And together they make for a pretty collection.

The two sets of dining collections offer an unusual option of introducing a vintage or country mood into your home.
