We curate unique items from all over the world and only bring in the best. Each piece is inspected, cleaned and touched up or refinished as needed before it finds a new home.

Shop with confidence

Authenticity and transparency are core values. We disclose condition reports of our pieces and offer video consultations for clients wanting to see more of a particular item. Download our checklist for buying furniture.

Local and national delivery

White glove shipping available. We regularly work with shipping partners we trust to safely get your items to your space. We’ll take care of the communication and arranging.

What would you do with an empty room?

You’re creating space. Space to live, space to slow down, space that’s chosen by you. If the thought of finding that one piece you notice when you walk in a room, you’re at the right place. That piece you feel because you know it’s well made and well taken care of. And you feel it because you chose it — and you chose very well.

At Lessons of Things, we specialize in paying attention to the details. We specifically curate unique, high quality items we love. We also refinish furniture that needs it, including yours. We’ve come to know and love various wood species because we get to care for it every day. Pieces come out of our shop with added value. Local and national delivery options are also available to simplify the process of getting your piece home.
