Refined Rustic is a cool boutique/gallery/studio located at 3924 N. Milwaulkee. They carry vintage and new items that all share a rustic vibe but would blend nicely into more upscale interiors too. Their furniture and accessories are the perfect pieces to add character to blah spaces that need a little oomph.
The pieces below are all reproduction, which is good and bad. While you won't have a one-of-a-kind piece, you will have something handmade and solidly built, and scaled to work with today's interiors and media. And unlike with antiques, you don't have the pressure of never knowing where you can find it again if someone else buys it first - you can take your time making a decision. For me, the hardest decision with a lot of these pieces is where to start since I like so many of them.
I show mainly case goods below, but they do have a wide selection of accessories (like the wash bucket at the bottom of this post), lighting, and even upholstery too. I was just most taken by the lines of the case pieces and tables. I could do a whole separate post on their lighting, actually. It's industrial-inspired but not too cold or impractical, and it's super-chic.
