My 'Market' Wish Is...

A few pieces that I can use to lighten up 

a very traditional home. 

At work they asked for a 'Market Wish List'

These pieces were on mine.

John Saladino does it to perfection.

He combines the normally heavy and dramatic effect 

of antiques/traditional case-goods 

with the soft modern look of 

waterfall-slip covered sofas, chairs and ottomans

These dining chairs would look just as fabulous with 

a trestle table,

or a Chippendale dining table.

But the effect would be different,

and special, a DESIGNED look.

And that is what most people want when 

they ask for a 'Designer' in a furniture store.

Right? 

Now... here is the kicker....

the pieces that I am featuring in this post are all from 

Bernhardt Interiors.

Yes, Bernhardt Furniture Industries.

I have a link to their site at the bottom of this post.

I have access to all of theses pieces.

But I do not have them on my showroom floor,

I can not have my clients see-touch-feel them.

And many people need to see the chair 

or sofa that they are considering 

next to the traditional case-goods 

to understand 'the look.' I am trying to achieve for them.

Everyone wants an ottoman/bench for a cocktail table these days.

And if you are too proud to buy a reclining sofa 

(and I hope you are, because if you are that worn out....go to bed)

putting your feet up on a comfy cocktail table-ottoman will do the trick.

What is your opinion 

of the pieces from Bernhardt Interiors ?

Which piece do you think 

would do the best on a selling floor?

Or...which is your favorite?

I am off to work 

XXX's

Have a great day...and I will catch up on my commenting on thursday & friday

Would You Consider This?

Would you ever place an armless banquette/styled sofa in the 'dead space' 

of a living room or family room?

dead space; an area in a room that is too small 

to actually do a seating area ( or anything else really) with regular sofas and chairs.

(depth issues)

I have.

It's a real winning approach to the problem.

Try it. 

It will be worth all your efforts.

Would you consider this solution?

Would you ever use a sofa that styled like a banquette?

-flush against the wall?

*It comes off very 1940's

Who Needs Arms Anyway ? * Part ll

These are fun.

You can use them in a dining room as seating at your dining table

It would be used  instead of a ready made banquet.

And if you did that you would gain at least 30"

in the room by putting the armless piece it against the wall of the dining room.

Just pull the table up and slightly over it. I have found that pedestals work best,

that way there are no table legs fighting you to get in or out.

 Right?

The Juliet from Lexington

An armless sectional * heaven.

Liz Claybourne by Lexington

This is an armless sectional I designed and had made for that boyfriend .

It was no less than fabulous.

These 2 are divine anywhere

Don't you agree?.

This is just elegant.

This is a bit too funky for me, but it is certainly armless.

Again....these could be perfect in the right fabric, and in the right room.

She does armless too.

Just remember if you do a banquet for dining,

remember it must be armless.

If it is not it is too hard to get in the seat with out moving the whole piece.

And most of the time others are sitting on it too at the same time as you.

Would you use a banquet for a dining area 

in your home ?

Do you think it would look cozy 

and elegant ?
