Hickory Chair - ...Browsing by tag

In my Seattle interior design projects, I apply my motto that “every bedroom should have a place to sit”. Even for the smallest bedroom in your home, it’s important to find a place for a chair or ottoman. Next to your nightstand, it’s a great place to place a tray or books. Benches are placeholders for the outfit you plan to wear the next day or to a party. Same goes for your partner for his suit and tie.

I believe in benches or ottomans at the foot of the bed as a solution for putting on athletic shoes or a place to take a phone call. Plus ottomans and benches allow you to add color and function to a space at the same time.

If you’re ready to add seating to your bedroom, contact us for ideas and solutions. We offer a complimentary Skype call to discuss your project. 206.973.3743

Dramatic advancements in outdoor furniture offer comfortable, stylish furnishings with extra benefits for busy families says this Seattle interior designer. The quality design and practical fabrics from outdoor furniture manufacturers create the opportunity to move outdoor furniture into home designs. Consumers love the practical benefits that accompany outdoor fabrics. In the picture below (Brian Harken, photographer) from an article in the WSJ, the active toddler epitomizes the attraction and reason for the popularity for active families who desire beautiful interiors.

Outdoor Furniture Moves Indoors

My grandson loves to play using ottomans from Hickory Chair.

To protect them and also provide a colorful, practical solution, I had slipcovers made using a Trina Turk fabric from a F. Schumacher collection.

This Seattle interior designer enjoyed a moment and quick conversation with Thomas O’Brien during Blogfest 2011. Seeing Seattle on my name tag he shared that he is currently designing a West Elm store to open this September on Westlake Avenue near Whole Foods. Seattleites will be pleased to have this resource in this emerging area near the Amazon campus. But this photo was all about his Lee Jofa collection and the vignette.

Here’s a quick overview from Hickory Chair, “For over a decade, Thomas O’Brien has been one of the design industry’s best known modern taste-makers. With a focus on vintage forms translated for modern living, O’Brien’s designs are executed in a spectrum of luxurious materials that are at once elegant and easy, crisp yet anything but cold. This warm, engaging spirit embodies his collaborations.” Listen to his philosophy. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZE3bcg7zCY[/youtube]

Late afternoon and this Seattle interior designer is enjoying a visually delightful tour through the new Hickory Chair Suzanne Kasler supplement. Her tailored, detail rich but so very subtle design suits my sensibility. And it isn’t until I looked at all her pieces that I realized how many I have specified for my clients.

The Asheworth Campaign desk fit perfectly into a penthouse den with a custom bookcase made to match by a local artisan. And my clients provided an antique chair.

The well proportioned Candler Bed perfectly displays an Osborne and Little linen floral in my client’s master bedroom.

This Seattle interior designer read the headlines from Milan, Italy the past week. ”Aside from bold color, the biggest news off the spring-summer 2011 is the skirt, or better yet. The hemline. With two days to go until the end of the Milan Fashion Week, the mini skirt has all but disappeared from the runway, replaced by hemlines that fall around or below the knee. Long skirts are also very popular”, says Daniela Petroff, AP Fashion Writer.

What does this mean for home furnishings? Are all those chair legs disappearing? What would this look like? I’ve done some research and here are some examples from Hickory Chair.

My design sense enjoys a combination of skirt lengths in a room for interest and appropriateness. Some chairs and sofas simply are best skirted. But for many years the minimalist look has embraced legs… I am curious if Milan will encourage the furnishing industry to lower hemlines too. What do you think?
