Koket: Glamour + Craftmanship + Joie de Vivre

Really one of the most intriguing lines of furnishings on the market.  Koket is highly crafted, incredibly detailed, and powerfully presented via gorgeous finishes, shapes, luxurious fabrics and lots of metallics! I MUST find a client who will let me use the Mademoiselle Armoire . . .  . or, as is often the case, I’ll eventually find a place in my own home for it!!

Metallic Gold Rug.  No kidding, the border is metallic!

Balancing Straight Lines and Curves

For me, too many horizontal and vertical lines within a space make me feel rigid and uncomfortable.  Many of you have a similar reaction but perhaps haven’t been able to nail down the cause.  While I love the very sleek contemporary furnishings, I can’t live with the hard-edged feel of the minimalist, straight-lined interior day in and day out.  So if you want to enjoy some of those crisp mid-century or modern pieces, you need only introduce them to elements that exhibit curvilinear shapes.  Whether you add a chair with a curved leg, a lamp with circular shapes or even a throw pillow with a soft design, you are able to break up the stiff formality and usher in a more inviting living experience.

It’s the holidays!!   And yes, this post is indulgent and jazzy, but it’s the time of year when we’re all drawn to sparkle and splash.  Think sweet treats, blinking lights and pink champagne cocktails!

Rustic Comfort

I typically follow a rule that too much of a good thing is too much of a good thing.  But a true rustic interior is my exception to that rule.   To achieve the warmth and comfort of a naturally aged space one has to really think about the authenticity of the finishes and textures.  It’s a great time to have fun with themed pieces and quirky antique accessories!   And keep in mind that back in the day, matching pieces were unheard of in most homes.   Enjoy the collecting and the collection!

This is where our options have in the past been limited.   So you have a nice rustic space but what do you do with the TV?    Now, The Old Wood Company has created options for media cabinets and for mud rooms.   And these are available in other sizes as well.

OK, you have to admit these would be fun.  Steel legs and back are formed to create a faux bois look.  Also in bar height.   by  The Old Wood Co
