Schneiderman's {the blog} | Design and Decorating

Check it out! Schneiderman’s Furniture is featured in the most recent issue of Home Furnishings Business magaine with a group of other top notch retailers. The article highlights our relationship with Bridging, a local charity that provides furniture to families in need. It also focuses much deserved attention on  Chad VanKekerix, our Retail Environment Designer. He uses his considerable skills to design fantastic spaces for our showrooms and his amazing painting skills to create murals and color stories throughout our stores. Be sure to click through the pictures in the article to get a closer look!

Congratulations to Chad and Schneiderman’s!

Did you know that yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the internet? On October 29, 1969 the first exchange of information between two computers took place.  I was listening to this story on National Public Radio and it got me thinking about our website and how easy it is for customers to browse at schneidermans.com for items they like before ever leaving their house.  Little did they know, while trekking to Schneiderman’s to see something like this in 1969:

1969 Living Room Group

that across the country, the groundwork was being laid so that in 40 years, they’d just have to tap a few buttons from the comfort of their cozy homes to see something like this:

2009 Living Room Group

It’s actually pretty amazing when you think about it. 40 years isn’t really that long at all. I wonder how we’ll be shopping for furniture 40 years from now in 2059?
