We are showcasing people who buy Midcentury at our store. Clients have good-naturedly consented to pose. We will periodically post photographs of buyers with their "stuff" either in the store or in their homes. You'll see folks from Richmond-- The Fan, Oregon Hill, West End, Far West End, across the river, North Side, Henrico, Goochland, Hanover, Petersburg, and north to Fairfax and down Williamsburg and Norfolk way. Our faithful keep coming back to Metro Modern to talk, to look, to make comparisons with other sources and eventually to select a keeper for a special place in their home. Half the fun is knowing who gets what, where it's going and and why. We genuinely appreciate having repeat customers and we are happy to meet new ones. We thank you. All of YOU create our success.
Katherine Meyers wanted storage for her children, Nicholas and Alexandra. Katherine needed two small dressers that fit specific spaces in her Lower Tuckahoe home. She loved the look of the Danish Rosewood case pieces because they were both beautiful and the right scale.
A couple of days before getting married, Sharon Craig and Bill Montgomery found the time to also shop for some additional lighting for their Monument Avenue home. They liked the pair of Prescolite Pendants which would give additional lighting but also add a great modern look.
Elizabeth Hahn's daughter Ali was very pleased with the idea of buying the Charles Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman for her dad, Matt as a birthday surprise. Ali promised to keep everything secret until the Eames was delivered to their Fan house on the condition she be the first to tell her dad.
Home offices can and should be incubators for great ideas and the ultimate inducement for Brodie Rich was placing a George Nelson desk and credenza in his North Side home's man cave. His wife Amanda and Brodie love the look and maximum utility of both pieces.
The Italian Mid Century Tangerine Wool and Chrome Chair appealed to Danna Savage as an accent chair to be used in her West End Home. She loves using furniture pieces as splashes of color, especially sculptural chairs. The Tangerine Chair serves as extra seating and a great catch-all for items including her purse!
A twenty-one Storage Bin Unit is just what Debbie Brockwell wanted for her crafts room in her West Point home. Debbie can easily sort projects and place each in the right bin since she always works on several projects at any one time. She loves the clean industrial look of the bins and will also add the vintage metal waste basket to the room. Everything stays tidy and out of sight. Her husband, James, and her children, Stella and Eli, think this is a great look!
Ted and Sandra Kienast thought this 1960s California Iron & Lucite Pendant would look good in their North Side home. The black iron scrolling on a white lucite cyclinder added the amount of light they desired, creating ambient lighting where they wanted.
Hollywood glamour is instantly reflected in this Hollywood Regency Console-- and Stacie Vanchieri, who lives in the Fan and owns Modelogic, a Richmond modeling agency, found an immediate use for two of these consoles. The consoles are useful and beautiful!
Karen and Geoff Glick's home on Boulevard has a carefully chosen jewel-tone decor in the living room centered around an exquisite oil painting which they cherish. They loved the individual glass blown colors in this one-of-a-kind Davis Ramos floor lamp because it picks up some of the colors in the painting and other carefully selected pieces.
