Side Table Bel Aire Chair

A Little Bit of History: In the 1980’s Robert Currey sold his chain of contemporary furniture stores and began working on concepts and products for the garden as well as for the home. Inspired by his own garden-oriented retail stores and their need for interesting merchandise, he incorporated his already prospering product development and marketing business in 1988.

Metallica Sideboard

This company, Garden Source, which focused on historic garden furnishings, became today’s Currey & Company. The product line changed and evolved over the years including classic wrought iron and cast aluminum furniture, whimsical Americana, a plethora of birdhouses, rustic willow and hickory furniture, amusing gardening accessories, and, increasingly, lighting products.

Gilbert Square Table

Lamps and chandeliers were first created from wrought iron; gradually the line was expanded to include other materials, but the products always incorporated an understanding of historic design and a lot of imagination. By the mid-1990’s lighting had become a most important part of the business although garden accessories and occasional furniture remain in the collection. As you can see Currey and Co. offer smart looking classically designed pieces that reflect a strong sense of style and luxury.

Dining rooms are a place where memories are made. Whether you are sitting down to a meal with your family or playing a rather intense game of hold-em with the guys, your dining room is the place you go to first. Your dining room should say something about you and your personal taste. Larger tables mean more people can play the game while smaller tables suggest that the home has a small but growing family residing with in it. When you choose your dining table you have to think about these things. Are you going to be entertaining? Should you maybe consider a table that has leafs for a more transitional piece? It all depends on what you will be using the table for.

http://www.yourfurniturelink.com/upload/167_photos/2527_french.jpg

Other important dining room furniture includes chairs, of course, side boards of buffets for storage, Display cabinets for the wedding china or crystal stemware and don’t forget to accessorize. When choosing seating for the dining room make sure you consider all options. Benches have become more and more popular over the years but prove to be a problem when guest need to leave the table and must interrupt fellow bench warmers. Traditional seating can either be solid wood chairs with seat cushions or upholstered seats. When purchasing upholstered chairs make sure you learn about the construction first, there is nothing worse than sitting down to eat and sinking an extra two or three inches.

When looking for a side board or buffet you have to take size and scale into consideration first. Then think about the style you are looking for. Are you more of a traditionalist or is sleek and modern in your future? Whatever you decide Dovetail will have what you are looking for.

CRCurrin - Jewelry for the HomeBed

CR Currin is the brainchild of owners Rebecca and Crawford Currin.  The Currins who own JALCO Manufacturing, the parent company of CR Currin, started in the industry by finishing high end furniture for other well known companies over 20 years ago.  During that time they became known for their quality bench made construction, sophisticated hand rubbed finishes, unique metallic leaf treatments, and use of various glass treatments.  They worked closely with many designers in developing product for customers and most of their clients, sold primarily to the trade. Many long hours of research, development and trial/error evolved into the look that is now CR Currin.

Buffet

They gained alot from their behind the scenes work. They gained an innate intuition and ability to interpret a designer’s vision and bring it to reality, along with the ability to respond to deadlines and react quickly to their customers’ needs. In 2006, the Currins made the decision to introduce their own products to the trade. The CR Currin product line was debuted in early 2007.  Their intent is to utilize the many years of experience to take clean classic designs to the next level.

Occasional Table

CR Currin has no production lines in their facility.  They operate in a factory environment with a studio mentality.  Each piece of furniture is bench made and created to be fine “Jewelry for the Home”.  Bench made means that each piece is assembled from beginning to end at the bench of a skilled craftsman. With nearly endless combinations of finishes and techniques, finely crafted furniture pieces become works of art. CR Currin products are produced exclusively in the USA.  They use sustainable raw materials, and employ rigorous recycling efforts to reduce their impact on Planet Earth.

Urban Woods Eco Friendly Interiors

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Urban Woods is the leading designer of sustainable furniture from reclaimed wood, eco-friendly materials and environmentally conscious manufacturing processes. The distinct beauty of reclaimed wood, finished with rich water based, non-toxic stains, is preserved in handmade furniture and made in Los Angeles, California.

The Palisades Collection, seen above, was designed to accentuate the natural beauty of the vintage wood used to craft each element. The solid legs of the dining table are creatively exposed at the table top, showing the incredibly tight, clear grain of the wood. The naturally aged patina in the thick planks of the table top and bench are lightly sanded, preserving their history. The Palisades floor mirror opens up any room like a grand portal and makes a great front hall mirror.

http://www.urbanwoods.net/images/melrose/credenza.JPG http://www.urbanwoods.net/images/melrose/clubchair.JPG

Much of the reclaimed wood was originally harvested and milled 50 to 100 years ago, giving the wood unparalleled stability and resistance to future distortion. At Urban Woods they strive to make beautiful, eco-friendly furniture in the most sustainable way. They never use tropical hardwoods which harm the rain forest to harvest, MDF or toxic glues.

The Melrose Living Room Collection seen above offers a credenza that is fully equipped for all your media needs. It is pre-wired for cable and power, with three push sensitive drawers for organizing media and two cabinets for all electronic components. Wide and comfortable club chairs with organic cotton upholstery surround the coffee table, which has a low profile drawer for housing remote controls. The Melrose book case is open on all sides to exhibit personal mementos and maintain an airy living space.

http://www.urbanwoods.net/images/sunset/bed.jpg http://www.urbanwoods.net/images/sunset/endstand.jpg

Urban Woods exclusive use of vintage reclaimed wood has many advantages; the grain of the timber with its tight growth rings shows the superior density of the wood from ancient trees, and the natural, aged patina and color of the old-growth timber is preserved in the manufacturing process, giving the furniture a look and feel that can not be replicated in new wood.

Looking for sleek silhouettes and organic elegance in the bedroom? The Sunset bed and bench (above) are stately and inviting with solid wood frames and deeply tufted, organic cotton. The Sunset dresser and end table are striking complements to the room and offer ample storage space and full-extension drawers. The clean designs of the Sunset Collection fit seamlessly into the traditional, contemporary or modern room.

Classic Antique Reproductions by French Heritage

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

French Heritage

A La Provencale Dining Room.jpg

Though French Heritage is only twenty years old, the roots of the company began years before, as part of a family passion for antiques. When co-founder Jacques Wayser was a child in France, he and his siblings would follow their parents on their weekly visits to the Paris antique market. There, the Wayser family learned how to shop for and collect antiques.

Chateau Lodge Room Shot.jpg

The first collection introduced by the company was Richelieu, in 1984. Richelieu was a breakthrough in the furniture industry. Not only were the pieces elegantly crafted using mortise and tenon joints, dovetailed drawers and pegs instead of nails; for the first time the furniture was distressed to look like genuine antiques. It was an innovation that changed the way antique reproductions looked forever.

De Bournais Commodo.jpg

In the 1990’s French Heritage saw great expansion. In 1993, the company debuted the popular Maison Provence collection, a grouping of antique French country designs. The next year, they introduced their high-end collection, De Bournais, beautifully handcrafted pieces with beeswax finishes. The furniture seen on this page are all from the De Bournais collection. This collection offers the most unique pieces which feature traditional lines while incorporating modern trends like zebra print, stripes and rich color painted wood finishes.

Archatrive Architectural Inspired Beds

ARCHATRIVE FURNITURE

cosmo

Archatrive was founded in the late 1980’s by Lewis Krevolin. It continues to operate as a family business with Deb and Rudy Krevolin at the helm, assisted by their daughter Jessica. Lewis continues to lend design direction to the company. It is located in the Hudson Valley of  New York,  an area rich with architectural detail and inspiration.

Through their unique real-estate development business, the Krevolins would locate historic houses in up-state New York facing demolition. Rather than let these houses be destroyed, they would de-build them board by board, carefully labeling and documenting each piece. One of the best sustainable design initiatives, this allowed them to integrate the historic structures into new construction and would re-birth the original in the form of large upscale estates.

GableBed

Now today they continue this idea of re-birth with their great home furnishings. Archatrive’s Deconstructionist Furniture and Decoration has an appealing look. This unique and evolving line is available through showrooms and fine specialty shops throughout the country. Custom work is always welcome and given personal attention

GantryBed

These beds are the company’s best example of the unique marriage of architecture and furniture. The styles found in the bedrooms are found in great architecture from the Gothic Age to the Renaissance. The only requirement you need to worry about when purchasing one of Archatrives beds is the space you have available. The sucess of these pieces is that they are great for the homes with large bedrooms like the historic homes they are dirved from.

library

My favorite piece from the collection is the Library Bed seen above. This piece will surround even the most avid reader with a large selection of books. Anchored by Four Large Columns that are actually Lamps, both side rails and the footboard serve as built in bookshelves which is the greatest marriage of form and function. Dimensions for this piece are 70″W x 81″H for the queen sized bed with headboard and foot board.

Tropical Patio Bars from B & I Direct Imports

Friday, July 31st, 2009

When it comes to setting up your outdoor patio for the summer, remember that a great way to transform your space into a getaway is by adding luxuries that remind you of that trip to Mexico. Adding a bar to your deck is a fun way to lighten the mood and bring you and your guests to the tropics. B&I Direct Imports offers the very best in furniture and accessories for your home. From antiqued hardware to the great bamboo and wicker tiki bars you see here.

By adding a tiki bar to your patio you are definitely choosing a specific style for which you want your space to reflect. Make sure that when purchasing a tiki bar your other furnishings reflect the style of the bar. Nice modern teak furnishings with crisp white seat cushions may not be the direction you want to go when incorpotrating a tiki bar. Try adding painted wood furniture, bamboo seating and color color color! You’ve purchased a tiki bar for a reason so go crazy and get inspired.

Now if you have the room for the tiki gazebo shown above go for it. This particular piece creates a focal point in your back yard and it draws people into it for a more intimate conversation. This also makes a nice hideaway during family BBQ’s so when your guests start driving you nuts you can sneak away for a breather. This piece is also a great option for those with children. The gazebo instantly becomes a fort or castle without the shiny primary colored plastics which have become all to poular these days. A childs imagination will bring the back yard to far away places.

Looking for a bar that is a little bit more reserved or modern? This piece made of bamboo and featuring a fossil stone top would make a great addition to any back yard, porch, patio or deck. Very sleek and stylish it houses drawers and door storage as well as a bamboo cutting board. Dimensions for the piece are 74 x 25 x 44

You can find a lot from B&I but what we love here at YFL is outdoor bars. Keep them stocked and ready cause you never know who might come over!

Get Inspired by this outdoor 3D animation and incorporate B&I direct into your Home

Solid Wood Tables from Tucker Robbins

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

coffee table solid wood end side accent living room

When you are searching for solid wood end tables, Coffee tables, Accent tables and unique dining pieces Tucker Robbins is the first place to look. Not many people can say they have a three ball dining table like the one below and even less people can say that they have a table which has been inspired by global culture and the life of Tucker Robbins. Robbins has proven his passion for furniture design by creating pieces which display true craftsmanship and creativity.

The Tucker Robbins goal is to bring the spirit and craft from the tribal cottage industry to contemporary life. This Dialog with ancient peoples, spanning continents and centuries, brings insight into what we have forgotten about today’s furniture industry. The Tucker Robbins furniture line also brings to life a new sense of “green” living by incorporating salvaged materials and working with the people who not only manage the forests where wood is grown but also care for it.

The Tucker Robbins look is that of refined rusticity.  This means he’s added a polished edge given to a piece that has been reclaimed from an ancient village. Tuckers design process revolves around the idea of collaboration and exploration into the possibilities of the material and form of the piece. This is the approach he takes when working with a client on a custom piece. He starts at his studio on Long Island and will introduce you to many objects from all over the world that have influenced his creative journey.

Then, when working on a custom piece for a client he will walk with you through 16,000 square feet of beautiful material both recycled and carefully harvested from all over the world. Woods Tucker Robbins uses in his pieces include satinwood, acacia, nadun, kumbuk, narra and mountain pine. These are all extremely rare woods whose natural beauty have been aged and dried in order to create interesting furnishings for your home.

Tucker Robbin’s truley does work with the people whose homelands he is inspired from. The Toraja women of Suluwesi, Indonesia used this goblet shape seen in the table above for their mortar which serves as a pedestal base for the round table. He’s inspired by jewelry and homes, and many other interesting objects which he incorporates into all his work both catalog and custom.
