Unexpected Furniture Deals: Sundance Catalog
Thursday, January 28th, 2010
As an interior designer I receive TONS of catalogs. Today I actually flipped through the new Sundance catalog and was pleasantly surprised with what I found. Vintage-inspired stools, reclaimed wood tables, industrial chic pendant lights…the list goes on. Here are my three favorite new products.
Scrivener's Stool, $295. Iron & wood.
Belden kitchen island, $895. Functional and made of reclaimed pine.
Meridian pendant light, $175.
