Furniture With Character: Volume 1

May 28th 2019

At Penny Mustard, our furniture is meticulously handcrafted. We select each piece to create the perfect collections. Our furniture has a personality. Inherently, these pieces render more words than just the standard stats and figures. They are characters worth studying.

Meet The Friends Sofa

The impeccable frame holds stories worthy of Golden Globes.

Those random coins in the cushions can’t compare with the millions commanded for a week’s work.

This divan deserves a backdrop of a mysterious, unlocatable fountain on the East Coast.

The curved feet and nail head trim are witnesses to the rarest of rares – a seemingly never-ending coffee house reservation.

When others could hold only three, the button tufted back sustained six.

Until the Brothers Warner knock the dust off the predecessor sitting in their studio basement,The Friends Sofa by Smith Brotherstakes center stage in the ensemble of American hand-crafted classics. The superior frame’s supporting cast features double-dowels and Maple blocks. Built-in legs ensure proper elevation for the patron. The independent, individual seating experience is, literally, one-of-a-kind. The performance of Qualux Ultra Foam is Emmy-worthy. With dozens of luxurious leathers and indulgent fabrics, future generations will find it hard to reboot this classic.

High-Density Foam

It’s rumored to have cradled Freud’s patients. It’s supported many an overnight guest during the holidays. It evolved to tie-on seat cushions on your grandmother’s dining chairs. It was barely noticeable in the seats of your first car. Today, it is everywhere you rest your bones.

Not all foam is created equal. When we discovered high-quality foam didn’t exist in the sizes we needed for our fine upholstered furniture, we found a way to make it happen.

Because you deserve nothing less.

When comparing High-Density Foam with the industry standards, consider this:

  • It must withhold weight. Even yours after Thanksgiving dinner
  • It must be able to hold its composure after many crushing sessions.
  • Paying for quality is worth it. Flat cushions in 90 days are not.

No one comes close to the investment we’ve made to find the best foam on the market. When you know better, you buy better.

The Avril Bed

You can’t look away from this bed.

Its grandeur is captivating and mesmerizing.

It’s easy to believe that is where kings and queens lay their royal heads.

The strength of its construction qualifies it as an heirloom.

The curvature of its lines speaks beyond the boards of Pinterest.

As a soldier stands at attention, the nail-head trim commands yours.

Your search for a signature piece stops here.

The Avril Fabric Bed. Pin-worthy custom build. Handcrafted in the land of the free. Individuality in each sturdy side rail. Nothing less than forever tight bed construction. Designer upholstery selections to please any modern family.

The Braxton Sofa

It had been nearly 72 hours since my body felt the healing powers of a REM cycle.

It felt even longer for my mind and soul.

Uncontrollable protesting by the minority party had resulted in the reigning leadership to move into survival mode. Frantically, we began distributing rations to calm the crowds. Working through deep hope and side-by-side in the restoration efforts, we witnessed the complete destruction of our homeland.

When the protesters seemed to have hit a valley in their raids, we were advised to retreat before the next advancement began.

In desperation, we fled to a welcoming alliance. With open arms, we were given food, water, encouragement, wisdom, and the coveted promise of rest.

It’s here where I collapsed into the unicorn of sofas. The deep cushions and arms enveloped my weakened state and transported me into anesthesia-level sleep. The rest afforded to me was all that could have saved me in my physically and mentally worn state.

But those are the battles we fight when we choose to become… new parents.

The Braxton Sofa. Uncommonly cozy. Unbelievably comfortable. The solid-wood frame carefully holds standard down cushions. It should come with a label warning of sudden, uncontrollable drowsiness, but who are we to deprive anyone of a good sofa surfing session? With several fabrics and colors to choose from, it’s destined to top baby shower registries in 2019


If we take such great care to tell you the story of our furniture, imagine the lengths we travel to craft our legendary pieces.
