The Nest - Lookbook 2011

With age comes wisdom...And classic furniture.

We are suckers for vintage pieces because craf tsmanship mattered back then. Furniture was made with solid wood and dove-tailed joints, not sawdust and glue. Clothes were made in the USA out of high-quality fabric, not thrown together so quickly that the stitching comes out af ter two washes. Things were made to stand the test of time, not bound for a landf ill when they mysteriously break a month af ter the warranty expires.

These will be the pieces that we can pass onto our children because long af ter we’ve thrown away our particle board dresser, the same thing made by Lane f if ty years ago will still be holding its own and doing it with way more style and sophistication.

Plus, chances are, no one will come over to your house for dinner and say, “Hey, I have that same exact lamp!”
