Versatile Furniture

Furniture is what makes our little Jewel Box® Houses a home!  Some furniture can be pricey so it is important to choose the right pieces when looking for a new addition.  I like to choose versatile pieces in my home so that my furniture does double duty since our house is so small.  Choosing functional furniture can be difficult.  Here are a few suggestions.
