According to Cindy Johnson, owner of Elephant in the Room Design, mixing older pieces with new items balances out interior design. The Elephant in the Room is not your average furniture consignment store. Items put on consignment there are of the highest quality and in the very best condition. While it is a consignment store, it also sells new furniture and accessories. You can select from hundreds of frames for art you have or buy at the showroom. And for a piece of new furniture there are literally thousands of fabrics from which to choose. And speaking of fabric, Cindy, who is an interior designer and fabric artist, creates many beautiful pieces of fabric art, like the piece hanging behind the sofa in the photo. The showroom says it all. It is a joy to visit and simply peruse all the new and consigned items set in vignettes. Peruse vignettes of fresh furniture styles, colors, patterns, and price points that combine “I can't believe it's consigned” pieces with new retail merchandise. Each visit promises inspiration to revitalize your home and pure enjoyment of the process, too! Elephant in the Room Design is located at Princeton North Shopping Center, 1225 State Road 206, Suite 8, Princeton, N.J.
