Furniture for the broken hearted?
By Christa Terry
If your hatred of Valentine’s Day runs so deep that you feel a pressing need to express it in your home decor, you could do worse than to order some sad, sad seating from Vermont Wood Studios. Designer Steve Holman envisioned and built these broken-hearted chairs out of figured maple, topping them off with velvety red fabric.
Should it happen that they are too cutesy for your tastes, don’t let that stop you from browsing the rest of Vermont Wood Studios’ wonderful pieces, which encompass everything from sophisticated and sumptuous carved tables to furniture crafted from reclaimed barn wood…a material that is ever so close to my heart.

These aren’t too cutesy for my taste. I prefer to think of them as whimsical. However, I must admit I don’t relish the idea of leaning back in one of them with that crack running down the middle. Still, they look great.
OTOH, I went over to the website and have fallen desperately in lust with that delicious fainting couch. Oh to win the Lotto!

I adore that fainting couch as well! I’m sure they’d be happy to make us each one of our own…provided we had the lucre for it!
