The first time I walked by James Jalfaro’s store, I wanted
to move in! There is a wizardry to not just arranging furniture but detailing it out with pillows, lamps, artwork
and accessories to make the shopper wish they could
write a check for the whole thing. A former chemist, Jalfaro brings a different perspective to this kind of work.
Many of the pieces are custom, and the artwork is by
local talent. There is no cookie cutter vibe. In fact, since
Jalfaro designs and builds most of the furniture, what
you see is just a point of departure. Any couch, chair
or table could be realized in any number of woods and
fabrics. Even better, you can have this one-of-a-kind
approach without the Robertson Blvd.-type pricing.
Accessory items start at $10 with many priced below
$100. The art starts at $75 with a major pi ece tagged at
$1800. The largest sectional runs $3900, but if you can
afford to live in a space large enough to accommodate
it, that price is reasonable for what you are getting. So
why don’t you and your imagination give James a visit?
