I started following @Janus_Home on twitter a little while ago and the tweets were pretty entertaining; good taste in music, and there were posts with links to fun, vintage Craigslist items that they weren’t pursuing but (according to them) somebody should. The other day a tweet flew by that Janus Home had staged a primo mid century modern home on Fremont designed by Birkmeier. I grabbed my keys and headed over to the house, which has an amazing view, floor to ceiling windows, and the owners have left most of the original hardware and finishes. The staging wasn’t quite finished but what they had set up was perfect for the house, or for an Atomic Crash Party…
After I had left this mid century marvel, I realized that I had never actually been to the Janus Home showroom so I popped on over to see what they have on hand. The 4,000 sq. ft. showroom is full of mid century vintage furniture that is in great condition. Janus Home either obtains their pieces in great condition or they refurbish and reupholster furniture that is not in great condition. You can view their inventory on the Janus Home website and choose pieces prior to the refinishing process, and in some cases, choose your finish or fabric so that it is exactly what you want. While I was there, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Jeremy, who is the twitter admin and also writes their blog that is very educational.
So, if you are in need/want of some incredible vintage modern furniture, stop by the showroom or visit the Janus Home website (they will happily ship anything, anywhere!).
