Simple elegance

Filed under: In Shop,Redesigning Furniture — Treasures on Townsend @ 3:33 pm

  A sample of the ornate detail work we like to carry in shop.  Simple elegance lends to a sense of timelessness and remembrance of decades past.

The furniture we have in shop has either come in in perfect condition, or it is recreated to highlight the specific beauty.  Regardless of the process used, we assure you that Treasures on Townsend offers nothing but the finest and best quality gently used and loved furniture in the Great Lakes Bay Region.

  2. Create a warm, inviting environment to enjoy.
  3. Make your office more welcoming.
  4. Immediate gratification: it doesn’t take long – most are completed in just one day.

What is redesigning all about?
It’s a process by which a room, home or office’s existing contents are arranged to provide the most functional and aesthetically pleasing environment possible.

Re-purposing & Modernizing Current Furniture

Filed under: Redesigning Furniture — Treasures on Townsend @ 1:33 pm

Hello weekend warriors! ‘Tis the season for SPRING CLEANING and for deciding what we want to do with unwanted items that are taking up space.

As some of the best furniture Treasures on Townsend sells has been re-purposed and modernized, we want to remind our friends that the  high craftsmanship of old furniture is distinctive and is built to last.

There are three key elements to consider before re-designing any piece:

1) Quality

2) Construction

3) Style

For those of us who are nostalgic, we would also like to add Sentimental Value:  Grandma’s old arm chair may not match your decor, but with a redesign- the refreshed piece will end up being a conversational piece and a treasured item that you actually use!

Most of us have those “out dated” pieces stored somewhere- and as we continue on our Spring Cleaning, we often stumble upon items that are long forgotten.  As we are all tightening our belts, now is the perfect time to dust old furniture off and bring them back to life again. Furniture should be as it once was:  A prized possession in the home, purchased with great pride.

The process of re-creating a piece of furniture for your space is rewarding, exciting to do, eco-friendly and creative.  By thinking outside the box, you can allow your old furniture to be custom re-created into something wonderful again, with little effort.

Let the fun begin!
