A Read the text.
This week our interior designer, Craig Hall, writes about a store called Timeless.
Timeless is not a new store. But it looks completely different from the way it looked three months ago when the manager decided to remodel it. Although the store doesn’t look the same as before, it’s as interesting as it always was. Timeless is still the best place to buy antique furniture. The store is not as cheap as other antique stores, but the furniture is not like the furniture in any other store. The antique coffee table I looked at was of excellent quality. Although it was over a hundred years old, it looked as good as new. I also saw some light fixtures similar to those in the White House!
So if you, like me, love antiques and like to buy furniture that is not the same as everyone else’s, spend some time in Timeless!
