Installation day- Asian book box to coffee table

Client space- testing the rug and the new coffee table.

I found this awesome antique Asian book box at a local tag. It was perfect for a client's coffee table, but it was a little short in stature.

I love the light antique patina on the box and the subtle Asian closure.

So, my fantastic metal-smith made a frame to hold the box and it turned out great! This is a perfect example of how to support your local artists!

The waxed finish on the frame looks natural, without being match-y, with the box's hardware.

Such a handsome look, with or without a glass top!

More from this space will be coming in the next few days. We are adding some lighting, art and a bench in the space before we are totally done. But we have good bones installed already.

Mid Century Madness! Fine furniture galore

This weekend I could not stop running into fantastic Mid Century furniture. Some of it, I am now the proud owner of... until it hits my stores. Then, it can be yours. Of course you can always contact me to for purchase info.

Here's the roundup of awesomeness!

What a fantastic coffee table! Black metal bars pass through the stone and support the glass top. I didn't buy it, but I'd love to own it.

This guy is going to be hard to part with!
I would love to see it with some great intense pastel stripe- lime, orchid, turquoise, orange, etc

Gorgeous Barovier and Toso (unmarked) glass and marble lamp. Once you get past the fact that with this shade it is about 42 inches tall. You see the lovely details.
 

Beautiful blown glass body with the clear bubbles that spiral across the reverse teardrop shade, topped with a hand carved white marble.

The lamp terminates in a white marble base with a carved reverse flower.

I did a lot more shopping this weekend, but these were the must shares. What great did you find this weekend?

New items in the shop!

I have added a great collection of new items, with a bit of an Asian look, to my shop after the giant birdcage storage piece sold. (Yea!)

Here's a look...

Who doesn't need a glass Buddha head!

I love, love, love this pair of twin sized headboards. They are also cool for wall decor!

Is there a cooler chair out there than this lime green moire file side chair?

French Provincial style? check. Parquet top? check. Generous size? check. Time to buy? Absolutely!

Pretty double candle sconce with mirror!
