Turning sows’ ears into silk purses, and uncovering the diamond in the rough is what Anna and In-Home does best. We’ve started revisiting our love of furniture this year, focusing on going back to basics. We’ve turned out several pieces, but this one stands out right now.

The lives furniture pieces lead are sometimes really fascinating. The more you work with it, the more you discover.
