Armoires Aren't Dead

They are just being repurposed to what they originally were in the first place.

I know that TV's have gotten flatter and spaces are getting smaller and some armoires are being pushed to the side.  But  we must not forget that there are other purposes for them, such as storage for your clothes, books, collections, etc.

Check out these  armoires, this is what started my juices flowing and inspired me to snoop around for some others to share with you....

I love the use of mirrors in armories...It really helps that big piece of furniture feel lighter and even more interesting, don't you think?

Ethan Allen Undergoes a Modern Makeover

More and more Americans are embracing a contemporary furniture style.  To appeal to this new swing, Ethan Allen just launched their "New Modern Living" marketing campaign based on 9 distinct buzzwords, which are my favorite buzzwords too:  Modern, Chic, Fresh, Elegant, Sexy, Cool, Pretty, Hip and Now.

Personally, I am thrilled about the reinvention of their brand because I think it's high time furniture stores that usually have more of a traditional/older feel come around to how most Americans are living now.  They still have the classics but their new furniture looks exciting and fresh most definitely.

My parents bought a lot of Ethan Allen when I was a kid so as an adult I never felt like they were "talking" to me with my style, but I think they are moving in the right direction to capture my attention and others like my generation.  Let me know what you think of their "new" look.  It's not your parents Ethan Allen anymore.
