High and Low: Slatted Wooden Benches

We've profiled a lot of slatted benches on Apartment Therapy, from the classic Nelson Bench to less expensive versions from stores like Urban Outfitters and IKEA. Today, we thought we'd round up a s...

Double-Duty Dining Piece: The Bench

Benches, like the banquettes we blogged yesterday, have a lot of possible uses. Unlike a banquette, a bench is movable. It can serve different functions in different rooms: a footboard for a bed, an...

If your walls are bold, your floors covered with vibrant rugs and your accents are dripping in bright hues you may be looking for furniture that, when it comes to color, is a bit more understated. We...

Da Barn

If you're at all interested in antiques, we have one word of advice, regarding Da Barn: Go. Located less than two hours from Chicago in New Buffalo, Michigan, this old barn is a scavenger's heaven. ...

Coming Soon to Chicago: BoConcept

We don't know exactly when its doors will open, but we've seen notes in print and online declaring BoConcept is "Coming Soon!" to Chicago (1901 N. Clybourn according to their website). With an old AT...

High and Low: Haruki Slat Bench and Nelson Platform Bench

A great bench can many hats: it can sit in your hallway and greet you when you get home; it can sit in front of your coffee table holding your magazines, books and even your feet; it can feel equally...

Upholstered Bench Inspiration from Etsy

If you've got an old bench that needs a little love, consider upholstering it for a new look. A while ago, AT:Chicago posted a great set of how-to instructions for bench upholstery from Shelly, one ...

IQ Matics

Our first introduction to suburban IQ Matics was with these wonderful (and expensive) Iker chairs. Established in 2001 and specializing in the "finest authentic award wining European furniture from ...

Roost Ceramic Stools

These ceramic stools are ultra-versatile. The ivory glaze modernizes a traditional design, making the stools compatible with several different decors. The size (about 18 inches high) allows them to ...

Roundup: Wood and White Furniture

One of our favorite color combinations (and one that we've featured on AT before here), wood and white is a classic mid-century mix. Click below for our roundup of furniture that combines wood with ...

New, Colorful Finds at Cost Plus World Market

In our experience, World Market can be hit-or-miss apart from their standard good deals (like window treatments and baskets). Checking their site this morning, we saw lots of colorful new items that...

Woven Ottomans

One of our current obsessions...woven ottomans. We love the casual look of round ottomans that can double as side tables and extra seating, and in natural materials like rattan we like them even mor...

Kitchen Counters and Stools

Looks like it's shaping up to be an industrial chic day on AT:Chicago. We've been looking at kitchen sets, and lately we're dreaming of a counter with stools to help create a little more workspace i...

Mecox

Located in River North, Mecox is the local outpost of a somewhat unusual home store chain that features both vintage and new items. What a great space - crazy high ceilings (with pressed tin) and pl...

10 Spots to Stow Extra Seating

We like to keep some extra seating in our home for those times when guests drop by. It helps to create a casual, welcoming vibe in the home. One idea: use ottomans in changing configurations. By day...

Velocity Art and Design

Velocity Art and Design is one of those shops that we bet you've visited virtually at least once. Why is Velocity such a "go-to" online shop? One is history - they've been around since 1999 - anothe...

New Picks from CB2 2008: Alchemy Stool, Hippie Armchair in White, and More...

In our first peek at CB2's new items for 2008, we saw a few things we liked...particularly in the "work" section of the catalog. CB2's never been super cutting edge, but when they stick to their str...

Verde

Local green design. Like the movement toward purchasing local food, it makes sense to seek out local resources for other needs as well. Since 2005, Verde has been a source for sustainable custom furni...

Nadeau Imports

Nadeau Imports recently made the switch from selling only to the trade to open to the public...but left their prices at direct wholesale. In operation since 1992, they import wood furniture from In...
