Custom Furniture Refinishing ... Let Us Help!

The Bohemians now offers custom furniture design options. In addition to the restored pieces on sale in the shop, we offer a couple of other choices for customers. Select a 'before' piece from our stock and pick your desired color and finish. Or, bring in a piece for consultation and refinishing.

Here is an example of a recent project. Kim found this plate rack at a vide-grenier and a customer purchased it, selecting the color and finish style. Customer can decide if they want a traditional finish (pictured here), a more distressed option, or other unique finishes such as 'pickling', etc.

Inspired by sister store Mignonne's vast array of beautiful furniture and design services, our little enterprise is excited to get launched with expanded furniture options.

Check out our new window design, recently installed by our visiting intern who will be designing four distinctly different window displays while here in France. Our shop has very unique, hand-forged windows lining the front of the store...these are about 8" panes of glass that are 6' or so tall. There are two dozen of these ... many of which are the original old wavy glass ... lovely to behold and they fill the space with beautiful morning light.

For first installation, we have a bird theme.. using ethereal, tissue-light birds that flock around openings left in each window ... creating a spotlight effect on the mannequins posed in each window.

We think the result is very pretty and very, very 'printemps'! wouldn't you agree?

vintage collection ...

as promised, we did hunt out a small collection of vintage clothes for women. basically, we have jeans (Levi's, Ab Fitch, others) and a small assortment of sweet jackets. There are some summer colors here, so stop by to take a look soon... if the collection is at all well received, we'll be continuing our vintage corner with monthly updates ...
