Designing your Home Office

Home Office By the Design Diva
I’m getting down to business, decorating the home office at 5 Waterside Terrace with help from Colorado Style Home Furnishings. The Colorado Style showrooms offer a variety of home office options, with the ability to customize many of the pieces. With combinations of leather, wood and fabric, it’s possible to create a one-of-a-kind look in almost any room.

Home Office Desk

After the kitchen, the home office may be the most functional room in the house. It’s important to me to accomplish that functionality with panache, and Colorado Style is just the place to accomplish that goal. There, I chose an exquisite burled mahogany and cherry desk with a built-in leather blotter; it’s elegant lines and dove-tail drawers ensure comfortable use for years to come.

Just behind me, a credenza with hutch provide abundant and stylish storage and workspace; arched openings and recessed lighting add to the style. Many of the office pieces at Colorado Style are available in matching sets; I could add a lateral file cabinet or bookcase in the same style, if I wish. I opt for a set of tall apothecary bookshelves; the numerous cubbies make for abundant storage. I picked up a bronze bear cub statue to fill one of the shelves. A set of leather chairs will face the desk—the exposed, hand-carved walnut complements the wooden desk perfectly.

Hand Painted Furniture – Floor Screen and Entry Table

Monday, September 19th, 2011
 
Colorado Style Home Furnishings offer many exquisite items that have been meticulously hand-painted by modern-day artisans using the exacting techniques that flourished in 17th and 18th century Europe. Each piece features slight variations in color and brushstrokes, a personal “signature” of the artist that enhances the value of the piece. Painting techniques include dry-brushing, color blending, and feathering. Another hand-painting specialty of Colorado Style is eglomise, a reverse glass painting process developed in 19th century France. Encased by glass, the delicate painting on the inside of the object has an intriguing, lustrous appearance that will delight you for years to come.

Crotch Mahogany

Friday, June 24th, 2011

Crotch MahoganyCrotch mahogany veneers originate from the area between two large branches of a tree (also known as a crotch) where different forces of nature are at work throughout a tree’s life. These forces push and pull the fibres of the wood, creating an exquisite surface grain. Even after the wood has been sliced and veneered, these forces are still at work. Over time, the grain may have a natural tendency to raise slightly and hairline cracks will appear. Again, these fine lines are indicative of an heirloom piece.
