Organic mattresses

We are one of just a few dealers of organic mattresses in the greater Portland area. I think that we have one of the best brands available - OMI. Organic Mattresses Incorporated sets itself apart by carefully selecting all the materials for their mattresses. In addition to using all organic raw materials OMI has the only third party Certified Organic Mattress Manufacturing Plant in North America. We have two queen size organic mattresses set up in the store for customers to try.

Secret sustainable sofa

Hot off the shelves of Zola Furnishings is the new Vegas Bamboo Sofa. Clean lines, all organic materials and that soft bamboo fabric makes this the next step in sustainable upholstered furniture. This sofa will have its debut at the Las Vegas Furniture show at the end of January. More exciting colors are available. We will be taking orders later in December for February delivery.

Race for the sales

My oldest son Max opened up the Oregonian and began to look at the insert ads for "black Friday". Wow we could wake up at 4:30 and stand in line for a big screen TV. I know I won't be out there with the masses. Many families will spend more money on their home electronics than on all of the rest of their home furnishings. Each to their own but when customers come in the store and roll their eyes about the price of a handmade organic mattress or sofa I realize that there has to be some thought about priorities and lifestyles. Many of the sustainable products in the store are handcrafted American made products designed to give your home a fresh organic experience that will last a lifetime. I hope the we can at least make people think about what makes their living space a home.

More Organic Upholstery

We just received our first pieces of Van Gogh organic upholstery. Van Gogh is Canada's second largest upholstery maker and we are impressed with this first batch. We have several styles and colors of chairs and sofas. Come by soon to see thelargest selection of organic upholstered items anywhere.

Organic Chairs

This Friday, November 16th, John and Kate from Zola Furnishings will be dropping off some very cool organic chairs that were featured at the PDX Lounge in Chicago. Not only are they very cool and very organic but because they have been displayed in a show they will be on sale. So by Friday afternoon we will be stocked with organic sofas and chairs-and they will be available off the showroom floor. These pieces are great for a living room as well as a waiting area or office lounge. You better stop by to see the finest selection of organic furniture in the entire NorthWest.

Single Speed Lounge

Eclectic Home was out and about with manufacturing partner Maku this time to cyclocross. Portland's world famous Cross Crusade was host to the Single Speed Cyclocross World Championship and we were there to make sure that racers and spectators had a nice, sustainable place to sit and watch the race. Perfect weather and a beautiful course made for a very fun weekend. Of course it was all work, except for my feeble attempt to qualify for the big event. I really like the notion of cross marketing (no pun intended). Most people really do not expect to see a furniture store display at a bike race. But really now, I know that all those participants have to hang their helmets somewhere during the week and once you have all your bike gear where else are you going to spend your money. So now we have a bunch of beautiful Maku furniture that has been lightly used. Stop by the store for some incredible deals on Maku-it is single speed approved.

New Website

Last Thursday, November 1 we launched the new Eclectic Home website. Finally we have more than one page. We have spent the past week rewriting and rewriting hoping to post what we do and what we have in the store. Check it out and give us feedback. www.eclectichome.com
