We have some nice shops and design studios here, but 90% of what I buy is
from NYC where I still know dealers.

That's fantastic!

When we lived in Hawaii, we lived the last months in a high rise. A guy
moved in adjacent and immediately started remodeling. When he went to buy
his furniture, he took a trip to North Carolina and had it all shipped to
Oahu. He invited me in to see it after it was completed, I was interested
in the furniture he had picked.

What he had chosen was mostly a mixture of French Provincial and Ethan Allen
type furniture, but he had put a fake fireplace in the living room. The
condo was wall-to-wall furniture. Guess he had over-bought - :-)) The
prices ARE good in NC, I've heard.

Good luck,
Dee Dee

Yuch! As much as I like traditional furniture, I can't see using it in
the tropics.
It always made me sad to visit old friends who had retired from New
England to
Florida, taking their heavy, dark furniture with them. It looked out of
place, incongruous
with the lush surroundings and indoor-outdoor living.

But with the indoor-outdoor living, the plastic slip covers sure help

Back many years ago in anothe lifetime, I worked as a licensed interior
designer. I hate to bring ethnicity into this, but it always seemed to be
either Jewish or Italian clients with "a bit" of money who had literally
everything covered in plastic...custom made plastic slipcovers, lampshade
covers, you name it. It was hard not laugh on a first visit.

LOL.. you're kidding? Who made them? I've heard of them as jokes, but
have never actually seen any (thankfully!)

Living in the Arizona desert, we have a quasi mix of desert southwest and
antiques. It seems to work well.
