Beautiful French & Swedish Style Beds

The clean lines and visual appeal in each of these Swedish and French Style beds is simply delightful to look at. No corners are cut. Each piece produced is unique and is infused with an evocative antique presence. Careful attention to the fine details in the finishing process which brings out the natural beauty in these hand-made beds. The finishes are all mixed and applied by hand which gives each piece of furniture its own unique character and quality. All require C.O.M. fabric & trim.

Please note, I do not sell the beds seen below - to see the beds I sell, please visit my new Online Store: J Covington Home for other french style beds, Swedish furniture, lamps, pillows, and more.

Anyway, Ruby has started a Blog that features articles by many of the shopkeepers, antiquers and vintage jewelry sellers from their site. These are "how to" articles on such things as collecting Blue Willow China, Vintage Jewelry, Glass Collecting, Finding Sleeper Treasures, Censored Postcards and so much more.

Gorgeous Painted / Antiqued Furniture

These fabulous hand-antiqued pieces have character. They are made from select South American hardwoods and then go through an extensive hand painting and distressing process that take multiple coats and a judicious amount of time. They are available only in the colors and style shown and can be in your home in 2 or 3 weeks!

























I really liked this chicken wire buffet. Great size and soft palate.





Some of these have a great Swedish look.




























Fantastic Scale!













This one is a charmer...sweet in size and style.






And this is it's top....what detail.




















Just love the bottom shelf on this Demi.





















I've known this company for the last 6 years. They are not cheap and the wait used to be 4 or 5 months....as they've grown they now have a US warehouse for quick shipping and satisfying their clients. Have questions? Call me.
