Dwellings Issue VI: Savannah, GA

As Winter sets in, and the city starts to freeze over, we take you down to Georgia for our latest Dwellings installment. Richards has been a Furnish Green regular for about 2 years now, and he has acquired an eclectic bunch of items for his permanent residence in New York as well as for his charming rental home in Savannah, known as the Jingle Bells Square House. He currently resides in Nyack, New York and has always got his eye on the Furnish Green site. Richards provided a brief account of his experience with Furnish Green:

My wife and I have bought regularly and frequently from Furnish Green’s always interesting supply of carefully chosen objects and furniture. The pieces that we have acquired over several years appear in most of the rooms in our home.

We have a house in Savannah, GA that we have restored and furnished as a short-term vacation rental. We will stay there ourselves for some of the colder northeast winter. It is important to us that the house furnishings are eclectic and comfortable (like Savannah) – and that the overall result also be striking and unusual – a mixture of new and old.

The Living Room has a very comfortable sofa that becomes a fold-out queen size sofa-bed. We had it made in North Carolina by Rowe Furniture, with an “Air Dream” mattress – one that you would actually be happy sleeping on. We knew that there needed to be surfaces in proximity to the sofa and two upholstered chairs for drinks, magazines, etc. Since whatever we got would have to be moved around to use the sofa-bed a conventional coffee table didn’t seem like a good idea. Instead, we collected several interesting small tables from Furnish Green and put them in a group. They can be moved around individually as needed, or returned to their “community”.

Richards has effectively utilized FG’s stock of petite tables and unique accent pieces. His home features assorted decorative items such as a board of mounted knots, a pair of cranes made from bone, some rustic baskets, a pair of ice skates, and various light fixtures and mirrors. Purchasing almost exclusively from our website, we at Furnish Green are always eager to see what quirky knick knack Richards will purchase next.
