Does your furniture need a refresh? Tired of living in a perpetual state of 'dorm-dom' with your Ikea functional finds? Or, maybe you just can't stand that (insert leg lamp, lay-z-boy, shag rug, etc. here) for one more bloody second. While trying to clean out my excessively cluttered inbox this morning, I came across a link to an article from the New York Times website about a very cool online furniture reseller called FormerFurniture.com.
Here's how it works: Started by interior designer Lindsay Dann Miller, Former Furniture features a great variety of designer and trade pieces that are slightly worn or have come directly from high-end furniture companies. This includes lighting, furniture, accessories, art, and the list goes on and on. Unlike E-Bay or Craigslist, all the items have been vetted by Lindsay herself and they only come from the Los Angeles area so she can see them in person and take her own measurements and photographs to post online. So you may very well find a sofa from the home of a well-known actress, a side table shown in Elle Decor, or throw pillows straight from an uber-exclusive trade only showroom....all for a fraction of the price. Luckily for those of us outside of LA, Former Furniture ships nationwide.
