McQueen's Furniture - a family affair


Furniture runs in the family! This is certainly true for the owners of this family-owned and operated store. With over 135 years of combined experience in the furniture business, the owners of McQueen's Furniture are clearly veterans. In addition to furniture, you'll also find accessories, bedding, fireplaces and appliances in any of McQueen's stores in Sudbury, North Bay and Espanola. Have a look at some of my favourites from the North Bay store:
This mirror rocks! It has
everything going for it:
the size, the shape and
the bling! And the mirror
frame is so slick - see 
below.
The frame consists of small, pebble-shaped 
mirrors that provide additional interest and
reflection. 
I like the shape and wooden texture
on these candleholders. Grouped in
three they make for an interesting,
decorative vignette.
Sturdy wooden bowls with a beautiful, clean
design.
As with the wooden candleholders above, 
your stoneware should also be displayed 
in groups of three or more for maximum 
impact. These pieces have a rustic appeal.
Dramatic, yet peaceful artwork.
I'm very fond of sculptural
lamps like these two...

...and how about this one?
It will reflect light both 
from the inside and the 
outside.
Try banquettes around the dinner table!
Combined with chairs, they look elegant 
and sleek.

Upholstered chairs are perfect for lingering dinner
parties. This set has a simple, yet sophisticated 
design. It was perhaps not the intention of the
showroom designer, but I actually think the two
upholstery options can be combined around the
same table. Especially if you want a fun, modern 
feel, and if the colours of the fabrics are repeated 
elsewhere in the room.
Avoid sharp corners with a round coffee table.
Consider one with a glass top - such as this 
one - if your space is tight and otherwise filled 
with heavier pieces. 
Lovers of black-and-white will probably find this 
dresser quite effective. They might also like the 
glass vase below.
