There are good furniture stores in Seattle

I admit that Lazy Boys aren’t my thing. The problem is that it can be so hard to find that piece of furniture that you really get excited about. I’m amazed how many people haven’t yet stumbled into Henry Built down on Western in Seattle because I think it’s one of the most [...]

Love in the first person
