Does anybody know of a decent furniture store near the Rumford/Mexico area (or within maybe 30-40 miles) that carries somewhat modern furniture? Or even futons?
Having some trouble finding furniture up here that doesn't look like it belongs in Archie Bunker's living room...

Even Augusta or L/A would be doable

I can't help either. I think the silence speaks for itself. Try Green Mountain Furniture down Rte. 16 in NH. Make a day of it. Call them and ask if they'd deliver as far as Rumford/MX. (But then you'll pay sales tax.)

Thanks...found a place called Bedderrest in Lewiston that has some half-decent items but not much of a varied selection...there has to be somewhere in Portland that has some mid-grade Scandinavian designs, I would think. If not there's a heck of a vacuum to be filled by some enterprising individual.

Modern furniture shopping options can be limited in your area. Mail order or driving to Massachusetts may be your best option.

A few suggestions:

Online - review the delivery policies for each - especially if you're ordering heavy goods.
Design Within reach (Design Within Reach: The Best in Modern Furniture and Modern Design
Gilt.com
Hautelook.com

Driving - depending where you are in Maine; I'm in Southern Maine so a quick day drive to eastern Massachusetts isn't too bad:
West Elm- Burlington, MA - Modern Furniture Store & Modern Home Decor Store | Burlington, MA | WAYSIDE COMMONS | West Elm
IKEA

Thanks yeah I was thinking about making an IKEA run, but wow it's 7+ hours round-trip never mind time spent in the store. I just moved up here and didn't bring a whole lot of furniture with me and have a house to fill.
