Rope Furniture

The nautical look of rope furniture definitely has the spirit of summer.

With the dog days of summer nearing an end, I am still hanging on to the spirit of the season.  The nautical look of rope furniture definitely has this same spirit!

These examples of rope furniture are so beautifully made and well crafted.  Each piece is a work of art.  I love how rope, a simple fiber, is translated into something sculptural for the home.

I also like how this type of furniture is open to interpretation.  It can be whimsical and quirky, a indication you don’t take things too seriously.  You can use one or two pieces of rope furniture to soften a space, or go full force and use them throughout a room.  It would be fun to combine rope elements with something more formal, playing with that juxtaposition.  So many possibilities!

Favorite Things: Console Tables

A console table is a truly versatile piece of furniture.

A console table is a truly versatile piece of furniture.  In the entry, it creates visual interest and gives you a place to build a focal point by displaying art or other collections.  You can place a console table behind a sofa as a base for lighting or to hold a stack of books, use it as a bar table, a dining room sideboard, a vanity in the bedroom, or even for extra desk space in a home office.  With so many different styles and finishes available, there’s a perfect console table for just about any room.  Here are some of my favorite examples of great console tables!
