In the store: Baker New World

One of the most beautiful pieces in the store right now is a buffet/credenza from the Baker Furniture New World collection by Michael Taylor. It is exquisitely made of walnut with carved rosewood pulls, has drawers and storage compartments behind its doors and is finished on all four sides. My favorite thing about the piece is the floating top. Such simple elegance and attention to detail!

In the store: Baker, Baughman and more

This past week saw a lot of inventory leave the store and a lot more come in. Some auction items arrived, and we made a trip out of state to pick up several more things, so we have a nice assortment of new pieces just in time for the weekend.

My SIL can't stop talking about the gigantic arc lamp that is almost 8 feet tall. He's totally nuts about the thing. Not only does the center bulb light up, but there are smaller bulbs inside the globe which illuminate it. I have to admit, without question, that it's one of the most dramatic pieces we've ever had!

We have several new chairs: an off-white Milo Baughman swivel chair and a pair that the auction company described as "Jens Risom style," so that's what we're calling them till we can figure out who made them. Marked or not, they are obviously something special. We also picked up a super pair of Danish armchairs with beautiful green cushions, which I have to put new foam in today. I'll add photos as soon as I finish.

We sold the massive Tobia Scarpa dining table yesterday, but we picked up its little brother...a Scarpa coffee table...the night before, so we won't mind saying goodbye quite as much.

And speaking of coffee tables, if wood is more to your liking, we also just put a beautiful Danish coffee table on the floor.

That's not all. There are more beautiful wood pieces: a long Danish style credenza and a superb buffet/credenza by Baker that is finished on both sides. What quality!

Again, my SIL has outdone himself. He just keeps on finding beautiful furniture, and I'm sure there's something for every taste.
