When guests stop in to our Clintonville showroom, they will not only be greeted by heirloom-quality furniture constructed of wood from naturally fallen Ohio trees as well as organic mattresses and bedding, they can peruse the abstract oil paintings of Columbus artist JT Thompson. 

This exhibition marks the third time we have shared JT’s art with our audience, a true testament to how much we love his work. The abstract nature of his paintings are a fantastic match to our unique furniture creations, which are both difficult for others to replicate.

“When I first saw JT’s art back in 2004, I was immediately drawn to its abstract, creative presentation. It’s obvious he is a deep thinker who perceives the world in an interesting way and I applaud that,” says Tarik Yousef, owner and namesake of T.Y. Fine Furniture.

As much as we like JT’s art at T.Y. Fine Furniture, it’s obvious we aren’t the only ones. JT has been the recipient of three Resource Grants from the Greater Columbus Arts Council, with the most recent awarded him in May 2018.

Not only do the paintings inject another layer of interest to our showroom, the artwork is also available for sale. For further information, guests may surf to JT’s

web site. Of course, we hope that after you buy a piece of JT’s work, you’ll still have a few shekels left over to add an heirloom piece of furniture to your space to complement your new artwork!

At least three British-based organic mattresses manufacturers shut down operations

recently amid warnings chemicals they used in their mattresses were tainted.
Acting on warnings from BASF, a German chemical giant that notified customers
they shipped a bad batch of chemicals that could cancer, the trio ceased productionof the mattresses to test levels of various compounds in them.

The three, Silent Night, Simba and Eve Sleep, immediately halted production of
the potentially-infected mattresses to conduct emergency testing to verify the
safety of the mattress involved. All trio have since announced no mattresses were found to contain any contaminated materials.

Of course, people who sleep on organic mattresses don’t have to worry about the possibility of cancer-causing materials infiltrating their mattresses because
chemicals are not used in their construction. Nothing synthetic is utilized to
construct an organic mattress, so people who sleep on them never have to worry
their innocent slumber could lead to cancer.

So, go ahead and rest easy.

Clintonville is getting in the holiday spirit with its 8^th Annual HolidayVille celebration on Sunday, December 3 from noon to 4 pm. T.Y. Fine Furniture is proud to be the Lead Sponsor of this year’s festivities, and we’re doing so by holding a Pop-Up Shop comprised of several locally-owned small businesses catering to organic, upcycled and healthy living folks.

 So, please be sure to stop in Sunday between noon and 4 for HolidayVille! We actually open at 10 am that morning, so if you want to beat the crowds, come over early.

Because we understand and appreciate the intricacies of creating a splendid performance, we support the unparalleled successes on the Columbus Fine Arts’ scene, too.

One way we demonstrate our love of Fine Arts is by sponsoring, for the second season in a row, the Playbills distributed at the Columbus performances of touring Broadway shows.

The next Broadway production to grace the Columbus stage is a delectable slice of sweet cherry pie, the Tony-nominated musical ‘Waitress.’ The show’s Tony-nominated musical score, written by famed songstress Sara Bareilles, hits the Ohio Theater stage Nov. 7 to 12.

To show our appreciation for our loyal customers and for the Fine Arts, we want to extend a unique offer to those who invite the artistic wonders of ‘Waitress’ into their lives.

During the month of November, any customer whose T.Y. Fine Furniture purchase necessitates home delivery will be upgraded to our white-glove delivery service, a total value of $150, free of charge! Your purchases will be carefully hand-wrapped in our shop, then personally delivered by our knowledgeable and extremely careful delivery team. Once in your home, we will unpack your purchases and place wherever you direct us.

Just as the Fine Arts spread joy and enlightenment to its patrons, the beauty of hand-made, heirloom-quality furniture from naturally fallen Ohio wood created by T.Y. Fine Furniture’s talented craftsmen is sure to bring happiness to your life for many years to come.

We are located at 4555 North High Street, Clintonville. Our hours are Tuesday-Friday, 12-6, Saturday 10-6 and Sunday 10-4.

If you’re fortunate enough to see Waitress, sit back, relax and enjoy. You’re in for a delectable experience! And, if you come to our shop, you’re in for a unique, no-pressure experience where your comfort and health are our top priority.

When we moved into our larger digs in Clintonville this past May, it wasn’t only to expand our workshop so our talented wood craftsmen had more space in which to craft solid wood and custom furniture. It was also to broaden our offerings of artisan furniture so our customers would look to us for beautifying their whole house, not just their bedrooms.

We are proud to announce our inventory now includes two leading furniture manufacturers known for producing top-of-the-line offerings at consumer-friendly prices.

One brand, Younger Furniture, has been doing it right since 1989. Their selections include sofas, sleepers, and sectionals as well as chairs and ottomans.

Younger Furniture is made in America by experienced craftsmen using solid wood frames and a modest selection of high-value materials. Each piece is bench-built to a customer’s specifications as to upholstery, foam inserts, legs and finishes, so not only is it well-made, it is customized to your desires, too.

All frames used in Younger Furniture are made from kiln-dried North American hardwoods, double-doweled and glued. Blocked corners and joint breakers for added reinforcement ensure these pieces are durable and long-lasting, so they look great while serving their purpose for years to come. Some of Younger’s sofas, such as the Lily (pictured), feature wood legs built right into the couch’s solid wood frame. This method of constructions translates into additional support for people reposing on the sofa.

When you sink into a Younger couch, you’ll be sitting in comfort. Standard to each Younger couch are “Y Lux” cushions containing a core of high resiliency 2.5 pound “Qualux” encased in a down-proof tick cover. This construction means you receive a higher density cushion with a softer feel that ensures the longevity and comfort of the product. Better yet, the foam is covered by a lifetime warranty! Feather and down cushions are also on the menu, so there are several ways to customize your seating to your liking.

Other features include:

• Heavy, 8-guage, sinuous no-sag, closely spaced springs, cinched and screwed into the wood frame
• Legs and feet made of resilient hardwood or stainless steels and bases in different shapes and sizes
• Foam materials are CertiPUR-US certified (made without ozone depleters, flame retardants, mercury, lead and other heavy metals and formaldehyde)

 Because Younger Furniture is as versatile and comfortable as it is aesthetically pleasing, we’ve added their line of sleeper sofas, too. A five-inch thick innerspring mattress featuring a five-year warranty is standard on all their sleepers, so slumber won’t be interrupted by those awkwardly uncomfortable support rods. Dual tubular legs for added support ensure the sleeper lays flat and a TV headrest with anti-tilt prevents it from closing unexpectedly.

Stop in and check out what’s new at T.Y. Fine Furniture. Just be warned: once you sink into a Younger sofa or sleeper, you might decide to be late for dinner.

It was very exciting to see the front page of the Business section of the Columbus Dispatch in late March and read our name in an article (http://www.dispatch.com/news/20170327/flowers-amp-bread-gives-equal-billing-to-food-floral-delights). Of course, we knew we had collaborated with Flowers & Bread, a new eatery in Clintonville focusing on the interplay of nature and nourishment, a few months back. What we didn’t know, and were pleasantly surprised to see, is that T.Y. Fine Furniture would be highlighted in the Dispatch article about the restaurant’s recent opening.

We were honored that Sarah Lagrottteria and Tricia Wheeler, the new restaurant's owners, had chosen to purchase wooden tables created by our talented craftsmen from Ohio-sourced wood, but didn’t know that collaboration would receive any attention.

The mission of Flowers & Bread is to inject simple pleasures into their customer’s lives by igniting their senses with the beauty of nature and the wonders of healthy, tasty food. They also offer baking and floral classes, too.

Thanks to Sarah and Tricia for including T.Y. Fine Furniture in their new and exciting venture aimed at offering unique ways of living a healthful existence. We are doubly excited to become their neighbor soon, as we will be opening our new, expanded showroom in Clintonville at 4555 North High Street on May 1.
