Tina Huynh
& Garth Price
Following the rules has never been Tina Huynh and Garth Price’s thing, particularly when it comes to interior design. After purchasing their first home a couple years ago, they approached Homestead Furniture with some big ideas — notably aluminum metalwork wall accents, live edge light fixtures and furniture for just about every room in the house. And without hesitation, Homestead delivered. “They never told us, ‘no, we can’t do it,’ ” says Huynh. “They just found a way and made it happen.”
The desire for craftsmanship and quality without sacrificing style was what brought Huynh and Price to Homestead in the first place. “We wanted something that was going to last forever,” says Huynh. “Functionality is huge for me. I’m not going to buy a piece just because it’s pretty — it has to work in our home.”
One of the most show-stopping pieces in their home is the dining table: a massive, live-edge tabletop inlaid with bird carvings and perched atop an intricate, metal base with a scrollwork pattern. The accompanying mixed-media chairs are something to behold. “The metal with wood was something they had never done before in these chairs,” says Huynh. “Working with Rose from Homestead, we were able to customize anything. She was so knowledgable about how things came together.”
