Furniture Finds

Here are some great new pieces I discovered while shopping for a client .  These pieces are fantastic and can be finished in many different finishes and distressing levels.  It is following my interest in the mixture of stained and painted pieces.  The cool tones are great for a Manhattan Beach project or could be quite serious but casual in a Rolling Hills Home.  These wonderful pieces are made by Hickory Chair, one of my favorite vendors. 

 

Los Angeles has one of the finest Hickory Chair show rooms in the country at the LA Mart in the Haptor Barrett Showroom.  In Haptor Barrett Traditional you will find displayed, in what has been called one of the most beautiful showrooms in the country, a full resource of traditional and transitional home furnishings featuring the designs of Thomas O’Brien, Mariette Himes Gomez, Alexa Hampton, Mark HamptonSuzanne Kasler and others.

This showroom is a destination with great resources and talented staff.  I love to take my clients here

classic

 

Classic lines and cool tones set the design direction of this library table and chairs.  I love the warm wood and how it contrasts to the cooler colors and textures.  I like the idea of using a transitional over-sized rug on the floor as well. 

bedroom

 

I would say this is suitable for a single man or a sophisticated couple just the same.  That is what you get when you choose classic lines, fabrics and finishes.  Simple tailored bedding and not a “bed of pillows”  loathed by many. 

 

Hope you enjoyed our inspirations and shopping excursions as much as I did.
