2015 Best Sellers

So as you can see I'm not the most avid blogger in the world. I also work full time in the furniture industry and the hype of the Black Friday and Boxing Day sales are finally dying down. With product having such a long trip here from Pennsylvania it takes some time to get things made, on a truck and into the clients home. Now that life is settling back down I plan to incorporate my day job more with this blog. It adds to my focus and I genuinely love helping people make their houses homes!

This has been an interesting year. Coming back from maternity leave I was faced with the challenge to balance work, and family life for the first time. I had a really hard time but I gained some of my most favorite clients and it turns out that already - my experiences with motherhood combined with my knowledge of the industry has made me more confident in what I do.

I definitely have my own taste in furniture but despite that I had some best sellers this year (by a long haul).. I always find it interesting to see whats trending, numbers don't lie!

Here are my 2015 best sellers..

Bedroom

 

The Sorinella

The Sorinella Upholstered Headboard, Footboard and Rails

This bed won and than beat the others while they were down. The perk to upholstery? You don't have to update your dresser or night tables.

 

Dining

 

The Tanshire

 

Tanshire Dining Table, Chairs, Server and Hutch

Definitely my best selling high end dining set. The removable leaf is a big selling feature. These chairs are part of the Tanshire collection but it's not uncommon to mix and match!

Runner Up.....

The Alonzo

This table comes in dining height and counter height and it's best feature is the butterfly leaf! Butterfly leafs store within  the table so you don't need to store them elsewhere. Note: The WORST (and most common) place you could store a removable leaf is beside the fridge or in the garage. The temperature and/or moisture levels will cause it to warp or crack. This is what makes butterfly leafs so great!

The Alonzo collection has matching chairs and a bench - It's nice to see something a little different having a bench with a back. However, like the Tanshire this table can be paired with any chairs your heart desires! Two tone dining tables are safer to pair with other items in your home that you fear might clash.

 

Sofa / Sectional

 

Chamberly 

 

Chamberly 3 Piece

There was a tie for sectionals this year! First is the Chamberly, like most sectionals it's like a puzzle. You configure it to your space. Some clients loved the down filled throw pillows, some had them covered.. Either way they are complimentary.

Chamberly 4 Piece

For those who did love the pillows, there are two ottomans made to match.

 

Tied with....

 

The Alenya

 

The Alenya tied with the Chamberly for top selling sectional so it's the contemporary arm for the win this year! (Call me old fashioned but I prefer a rolled arm).

Alenya 2 Piece Sectional in Charcoal

 The Alenya doesn't have as many options for configurations, but it's L shape can be lengthened.

 

Alenya 3 Piece Sectional in Charcoal

It also comes in a Linen color!
 

Alenya 3 Piece in Quarts

 

Sofa

 

Kaylor

 

Lots of people had their hearts set on sectionals this year but for those who were open to a sofa / loveseat the Kaylor was most popular. There are three types of "leather"; The entirely fake stuff - made of vinyl, Bonded - made of scrap pieces of leather melted to another piece of fabric, and top grain leather.

Kaylor Sofa in Quarry

This one is a bonded so it's in the middle of the spectrum in terms of quality but the price and the maintenance is magnificent. I hate to put pets and babies in the same category, but in the furniture world - they are.. and bonded leather is the best way to incorporate light colors in a pet/baby/kid friendly home.

Kaylor Sofa in Taupe

 

I love giving people options and besides the two neutral colors it comes in, there is a stand alone chair and a recliner chair to match the collection.

 

Thank you for reading! I'm having my biggest sale this weekend so e-mail me if you have any questions about measurements, pricing or a book a consultation.
