American Living furniture store opens in LafayetteBy Laura DealNJHerald.com

Lafayette — Now, 3,000 square feet of unique and unusual home furnishings, custom upholstery and lighting are at the fingertips of Lafayette residents, as well as other home decorating enthusiasts in and around Sussex County.

American Living Home and Gift has opened its doors at the Lafayette Center on Route 15 and offers a plethora of ideas and supplies, as well as custom-made furniture pieces, original art work and more. Knobs, hooks, decadent French soaps and scented candles are also some of the products offered at the shop.

After operating a shop in Milford, Pa., for six years, owner Danny Tusinean, along with his daughter and wife, made the move to Sussex County to be closer to their main clientele. “The locals don’t shop for furniture in Milford,” said Tusinean. “We had some good customers in Milford but not enough to support a furniture shop.”

Recently Tusinean had several design jobs in Crystal Springs and Sparta.

Tusinean opened in May, and with sofas delivered in early July, he now is equipped with all of the categories in his line of products.

An official grand opening took place at the shop on July 8.

“We do a lot of unique pieces,” Tusinean said. “We design and manufacture a good amount of what we offer in the product line.”
