VERONICA YANKOWSKI Furniture shopping can be a tedious ordeal, driving from one store to another in order to get a good idea of what's available and what would best suit your home. But this doesn't have to be your situation if you make your first stop Dinettes Unlimited in Brick, where you'll find a huge selection of dinettes, home office furniture, center islands, wall units, barstools, bedroom sets, dining rooms, and much more all under one roof. With 200 different dinette sets in the 8,000-square-foot showroom at any one given time, you're still just at the tip of the iceberg. That's because owner Steve Verdino, whose family has owned Dinettes Unlimited for 19 years, will special order any dinette set in just about any shade of wood you need. In addition, if you want your set to match a specific color, like that of a Corian or Formica countertop or a particular shade of fabric, Verdino can arrange for your new set to match the color of your choice. That truly makes the selection here "unlimited." " Beautiful details can be found on the dinette pieces atDinettes Unlimited,including custom tile on tables by Coastal Center Designs (above);unique art carvings in the woodwork (below,left);and ornate tile on hutches (below,right). VERONICA YANKOWSKI There's really nothing you can't have," Verdino said. "If you come into the showroom and you see a style you like, you can have it made lighter or darker, larger or smaller. Chairs can be done in any fabric or vinyl you want. It's all custom work." Center islands are all the rage in kitchens now, and you'll find plenty of choices at Dinettes Unlimited. Islands are a great way to combine a dining area with storage and work stations while improving traffic flow in the area and creating a more aesthetically appealing space. In other furniture stores you don't always find coordinated barstools when you purchase a center island, but Verdino always has matching barstools to complete the set. One of the wonderful things about shopping at Dinettes Unlimited is that there are endless numbers of styles from which to choose, so that you're not forced into the latest trend that designers seem to push hardest. Here, you're free to go with your own preference, whether it's traditional, country, contemporary, or even the hottest designs of the day, like the new "buttermilk" finish that's so popular right now. Besides carrying such a wide range of furniture as well as wall hangings, paintings, and other decorative objects, Verdino offers a design service whereby, upon request, he'll go out to a customer's home and take measurements of the area to be furnished. This can be an especially valuable service if the space to be decorated is an irregular or small area that needs pieces of specific dimensions. Verdino and his staff are highly knowledgeable and can make helpful recommendations about what pieces might be best suited to particular spaces and needs. Delivery and installation of the furniture is also available to customers. Whether you've just moved into a new home and need everything or are updating an existing space, Dinettes Unlimited is your one-stop shopping source.
