Industrial Chic

Lately everywhere we look industrial chic seems to be the trend.  The idea is to take an  industrial element and convert it for home use.  It looks pretty cool in the right environment, like the house most recently featured in the NY Times below:

You can see the rest of the house here.

To get this look, check out these items from Nuevo.  They are made from reclaimed materials, contributing to that "aged" look.

This works wells either as a dining room table although we prefer it as a desk.

Wouldn't you love this as a kitchen island?

These stools can be easily tucked under if you want something that doesn't take up much room.

These can be found in our furniture section.

Fabulous Upholstered Beds

We don't remember the last time we bought a bedroom set, you know, the kinds that have matching bed and nightstand and dresser?  Maybe it was 1982?  When we look at our pictures for those years we just cringe.  Remember the big hair and the shoulder pads?

We feel the same way about matching bedroom set now.

Thank God for 2011, because the trend is much fresher and lighter.  We especially love the upholstered beds.  They offer so many possibilities.  You can pick the fabric, the trims, add nailheads or not, tuft it or untufted.  And when you get bored with in it a few years, you can just have it reupholstered.  They are also much more comfortable to lean against too.

We just add some fabulous upholstered beds to our store and we hope you'll check it out. Here are some samples:

These can be found in our upholstered beds section.

Lee Jofa Veranda Ad

Lee Jofa has a beautiful fabric shown on their ad on Veranda this month with a floral and leaf pattern.

The ad didn't show the pattern and we got tons of inquiries as to what it was.  In case you need to identify it, it is called Tree of Life, pattern number 2009129 color 519.  

You can find the pattern here.  Sorry, the image is not uploaded but we will be loading it up shortly.

Hollywood Regency Side Board-White Trelllis and Mirrored Doors

We absolutely love this new hollywood-regency-styled console from Davenport.  Hand-made in the USA, it features a lovely trellis pattern and mirrored glass doors.  Shown here in white, it is also available in custom finish (black would be really pretty too).

The dimensions are 84"L x 19" D x 36" H.  The price is $3500.  Lead time is roughly 8 weeks...

You can find it here.

Upholstered Bed-Favorite Item of the Day

We found this bed at the Las Vegas market last week and we just loved it!  It has the right mixture of wood and fabric.  The classic style will never go out of style.

The bed can be customized with different fabric and nailheads.  Pricing is not so bad, about $2200 for a king.  The lead time is about 4-6 weeks.


We'll be posting this item in our upholstered beds section today so check it out!

Very, Very Glamorous Chandeliers

We saw these chandeliers from DK Living and OMG, they're gorgeous!

Can you see them in a really cool, glamorous decor? Something a little dark and sexy perhaps?

The chandeliers are surprisingly not that expensive.  They range between $1000-1500 .  We will be posting them up in our chandelier section within a day or so...

Modern Vintage Barstool

We came accross the work of John Maniscalco today while searching for a modern architect firm in San Francisco.  His work is gorgeous.  If your taste leans toward clean-lines, structural styles, he's your guy!

One of the images show a barstool that we really like. It's a nice mix of vintage and modern in a warm, interesting way. 

You can find the vintage-looking barstool here.

Multi Functional Desk

We're always looking out for cool desk, especially one that looks nice yet functional.  We ran accross this one today and we really like it.  It has built-in storage that you can store books, files, your CPU etc.  It's long enough (71") to spread out.

Just perfect for an office, don't you think?

The desk is from Tema Home and it sells for $1135.

Where Did You Get That? White Hollywood Regency Desk

We love the simplicity of this desk. It's small enough for a small, carved-out office and big enough to be functional.

We found a similiar desk via Sunpan Imports. It comes in white and expresso. It's $975 plus $125 for shipping. If you are interested drop us a line.

Modern Architecture

We ran accross the work from Felman Architecture today on Houzz and we just fell in love.  If you haven't heard of Houzz, it's a fabulous site for design ideas...tons and tons of pictures. 

In the mean time, here's some nice eye candies if you are into the modern look:
