Factory 20 is a design collective located in Sterling, VA focuses on providing an eclectic mix of art, furniture, lighting, and beyond.   I love the attention to detail in their styling and the consistency and sophistication of their photography.  The following are some of my favorites items in their current inventory.  Above, the 1950s Scolari Vintage Brass Chandelier is stunning! No wonder it is sold!

I am a sucker for the vintage and the industrial, so I was in heaven when I found Get Back Inc.  Located in Oakville, CT, this store started in 2000 by cabinet and furniture makers.  At Get Back, industrial finds are transformed into functional furniture.  Additionally, salvaged pieces are restored and vintage furnishings are also sold.  I was practically drooling when I saw pictures of their showroom.  So, next time I am in the area I must stop in…the only problem is that I may never want to leave.

The following are some pieces that caught my eye.  I love the attention to detail and how new pieces blend perfectly with the old.
