Mid-century modern furniture is hot right now. You can find it everywhere from boutiques to Target. But that doesn’t mean you should avoid it like a fad soon to fizzle.

Instead, mix a few choice pieces in with your own personal style to enjoy the splash of minimalism it provides. And if you can save up your pennies, Richmond is a great place to find originals instead of buying something out of a box. 

Nothing will last like furniture that has already lasted over fifty years. Here are a few spots to find the real deal.
