New Blog Location

Hi Everyone! We'd like to take this opportunity to invite you to visit our new blog, located at http://fromthesourceny.com/blog/
Here, you'll be able to quickly navigate from our blog to our new webpage and see the latest that from the source has to offer. Also, remember that our Dumbo location is still having a 50% closing sale on all stocked merchandise. The biggest news is that our Greenpoint Warehouse/Design Studio is now open to the public everyday from 11-6, so you visit any day and get lost in the new space, which we've expanded from 25,000 - 35,000 square feet!

Wooden Trophy Hunter

Bob Fireman, president of From the Source and expert on sourcing exotic woods from Indonesia, is featured in today's New York Times Home section article (D9) titled "The Trophy Hunters". In it, he briefly discusses the legalities of sourcing wood from remote lands and how we apply the ever-changing taste of design to foreign woods and reclaimed materials.

Ample Sample

If you need wood, we sure have plenty variety to choose from. If you're stuck on the fruitful concept of mango but want something with a little more pop, size it up to ingas. If you like the blend of light and dark in our rosewood called sonokeling but need just a little more chocolate, try staining it light brown.

These samples and more can be found at our locations, so you can mix and match, and get a nice visual for how our color-schemes and grain-blends can work with your project. Whether you're building from a blank slate or anxious to move in that one last piece, our samples (not for sale) will help you get there.
