As far as we’re concerned, if Sharon Nord can make it in Roswell, GA, then New York City’s Financial District is No Big Deal. Sharon came to us because of an exciting new transition in her life: after a stint as a transplanted Yankee in the South, she’s headed home to New York, relocating to be closer to her grown sons.

With a brand new apartment on Wall Street, she’s elected to explore the possibilities of a more modern space. Toward that end, Sharon commissioned People of Resource to create new custom furniture for her home, but also to modify some existing vintage pieces. We’re excited about this approach because it aligns very nicely with our own predilection toward mixing new and old.

Depicted above (photograph kindly made by Sharon herself) is the first piece of this project: a vintage marble coffee table for which we turned some new walnut legs. Forthcoming will be a solid walnut dining room table, six dining chairs, and another carefully modified vintage piece: a magazine rack from the home of Sharon’s grandmother.
