DOG TRIX

I thought it was time to get  out of the furniture main stream of tables with four legs and a top, and come up with a more whimsical piece. So here's a simple table that can add a little interest to your room.

If you love dogs or better yet, a dog you don't have to feed or take out in all types of weather, you might consider this one. Made of Walnut and finished with a hand rubbed oil finish for a completely natural look.
(could be finished with spots if required)
The dog holds his position at 24" H. The top measures 11/4" diameter.  Made in a limited edition.       C.

What a waste.......

What a waste basket. Who says a waste basket needs to be ugly, or hidden away ?  Many high profile furniture designers have included waste baskets in their design portfolios, so I thought, why not me too?  I designed this  arts and crafts styled piece after some research of  furnishings of the great lodges  built during the first quarter of the 20th century. I think it has such rustic charm, and beauty. Just because it started out as a waste basket doesn't mean that it's destined to that role. This can also be a charming piece to hold magazines and newspapers children's  toys, or maybe even a planter. Each panel is made of quartered white oak and swede leather lace. It measures 11 1/4" x 11 1/4" x 14" H. A nice accent piece to complement your arts and crafts furniture in your home, cottage or lodge. This waste basket is a perfect companion to the fall front desk I wrote about last month.
