Retro-industrial, functional living: Boulevard Café Collection spotlight

Jess McGurn of @brightgreendoor added a lot of function to her living room with the Boulevard Café Collection. At her home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Jess demonstrates how to get the refined industrial aesthetic with a warm, welcoming coffeeshop vibe. Perfect for small spaces and design challenges, this collection features casters, modular shapes, indoor/outdoor pieces and hidden storage.  
 
Industrial style entertainment stand in Vintage Oak finish

The Boulevard Café Collection features warm colors, amber glass, metalwork and a Vintage Oak finish to achieve the retro-industrial look. Many pieces in this collection are sturdy, lightweight and intentionally petite in scale, making them easy to rearrange and repurpose.
 
Adjustable shelves, entertainment stand in Vintage Oak finish
 
The Boulevard Café Credenza includes three modest storage types to accommodate your living room essentials:
  1. 1. Two adjustable shelves hidden behind double doors to store items with different heights
  2. 2. A flip-up front to keep media out of sight but still usable through the perforated metal
  3. 3. One drawer large enough to store bulky blankets and games

Open glass shelving, bookcase
 
The gold braided pattern silkscreened on the four glass shelves of the Boulevard Café Open Shelving adds a layer of sophistication to this metal-framed bookcase. Add baskets for storage or eye-catching accents to make it even more glamorous.

Mobile coffee table with casters
 
Movable and lockable casters make the Boulevard Café Coffee Table easy to roll from room to room.  Keep it near the couch to rest your feet during movie night or roll it out and gather around for plenty of space during game night.
 
Industrial coffee table with wooden storage drawers
 
The coffee table includes two shallow storage drawers in matching Vintage Oak woodgrain finish to hold those must-save magazines and a sliding door cubby to keep clutter hidden. The opposite side of the coffee table has two open storage compartments to display books or whatever else you want on hand.
 
Industrial style living room chairs
 
The Boulevard Café Lounge Chair is lightweight and easy to move. This is especially handy when more seating is needed for cocktail hour or game night. These chairs can be carried wherever your entertainment needs take you in the home. The lounge chair with Camel finish also is available in Charcoal Gray to help you complete that eclectic retro-industrial aesthetic of your favorite coffee shop!
 
faux leather chair, metal structure lounge chair
 
When the weather is nice enough to hang out outdoors, move the Boulevard Café Triangular Side Table to the patio to act as a cocktail table, stool or plant stand. The modular shape and perforated metal top make it a small but useful furniture piece to help style your small patio or balcony.
