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: Credenzas

In the dining room, a credenza is ideal for added storage and provides a great surface to serve from.

A credenza is a large, closed cabinet often used as a sideboard or a buffet.  In the dining room, a credenza is ideal for added storage and provides a great surface to serve from.  We often use custom pieces to meet a client’s individual needs, an option that allows us to integrate the credenza’s interior into the design.  A custom credenza gives you added flexibility for size, style, color, and material for a super unique look.  Additionally, a credenza provides structure and a foundation for lamps and art.  It grounds a space.  I love using elements such as shagreen and ebony or two dimensional doors.  When working with a craftsman, you can trick out a credenza for a memorable, one of a kind piece.  Here are some of my favorite examples of gorgeous credenzas.
