Ethan Allen makes some quality furnishings, you should enjoy your purchase for many many years. The ex and I did their 18th Century line of dining room furniture, coffee and end tables. Wickedly expensive but so very beautiful. He got it in the divorce, but its ok, I'm more of the Mission style kind of guy anyway.
Enjoy! | ||

 Glad to hear it's still good stuff. My ex bought a sofa and chair from Ethan Allen back in 2004. Being the frugal guy I am I was not thrilled with the price and it was a long wait to get it delivered.
However I was won over by the quality. Both pieces had removable covers on all the cushions that could be cleaned (as well as the nice arm protectors) and both pieces wore extremely well.

Oh yeah, that's ancient history a little over 12 years ago. Erik and I have been together for 11 now, think I got it right this time :)
I forgot about Englanders, now there's a name from the past. Art Van seems to rule the furniture market there, here its Raymour and Flannigan. I desperately need a new sectional so have been looking, everything just seems like junk now. And quality stuff, as you know, is expensive. Lots of my Mission pieces are from Stickley, bought them at E.J. Audi dealer in Manhattan. Great quality pieces, beautiful quarter sawn oak. Now they opened a few shops here in NJ which I am trying very hard to stay out of! :) | ||

Congrats on putting a ring on it! :) Erik really wants to tie the knot, it's not that important to me but it is to him so we'll work on the details this year.
Last time I was home, my sister wanted to get a new pieces of furniture so off to Art Vans we went. It was a nice experience and I was pleased with the price, they sure have Raymour and Flannigan here beat. Sorry to hear about your dad. That's tough, and selling the family house won't be very easy either. I used to manage the Arby's in Southgate on Eureka rd. I'm sure like most downriver towns, area's change. Yes, my mom is still with us, will be 90 this year. So many health problems so we take every day as a blessing. She is a tough cookie and it's unfair to see what life has given her these past few years. You probably also saw the attempted home invasion in Allen Park a few days ago. That was the street next to my mom's. Now it has my sister more paranoid than normal. I'm getting a locksmith to come and evaluate their doors and locks and beef them up and possibly install a Ring doorbell. I worry so much about these 2 women living alone. We have an aide that stays with mom during the day, but this attempted invasion was also during the broad day light. | ||

Interesting to hear the spin on downriver...we're in Pleasant Ridge up along Woodward--wouldn't trade it for a minute---luckily don't have to even think about security, cameras, etc---police are 1/4 mile away! I've been here in Michigan since 2005--working downtown at the RenCen all of it...only crime I've been part of was further out (in Royal Oak)...smash/grab from my car in one of the parking decks...I'd left a gift bag on the front seat in the car going from one holiday event to another and oops----still was finding glass under the seat when I sold the car several years later.
