'INDUSTRIAL INTERIORS' Can Be Fabulous

A

I am a freak for exposed brick walls.

Although...I always paint them white.

It's weird....I don't know what it is.

I just love white painted brick.

Look at the floors....

they are just filled concrete floors.

The thing I like about this one is the ceiling.

Not much else.

Very industrial - dig it.

Especially the book case.

You just know it is cheap.

In this post...

you will find;

industrial design, industrial living rooms,

 industrial kitchens, industrial bathrooms, 

and industrial office space.

I am curious.....

Do YOU have a favorite space 

or do you totally dislike industrial interior design concepts?

the spaces have a letter UNDER each post...

you can use that for a reference while critiquing.

....if you want to....

OR NOT.

I happen to totally love the look.....

I think it brings me back to my youth in the City..

I SPY....an industrial maitre d' stand

If you are working on a restaurant design....

I found this fabulous piece.

What else could you use this item for???

Do you like it or are you OVER  ' industrial?.'

I think it is fabulous.

What do you think?

Trendy, industrial workstation or maitre d' stand. Great computer station too! Whatever you prefer, it's just fantastic. Ten drawers in the front. A really cool design of two drawers on the left side with two bronze accessory bars on both sides. The surface is a crackled dark masonite board. The unit is in good condition.

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

A Truly Industrial Styled Desk

This is supposed to be a French Post Office desk.

The price tag is about $2999.00

I like it.

But not for the price tag.

Have a great day!

I have to finish up some work on a design proposal.

EDISON LIGHT BULBS an additional $15.00

By Kim Cook

Associated Press

English poet Percy Shelley wrote, "There is a harmony in autumn, a luster to its sky." This fall, that's especially true in home decor. Rich, interesting hues, textiles, and materials work in concert to welcome the season when we all move back indoors.
As Gary Friedman, CEO of Restoration Hardware, says, "We're coming out of a very modern, minimalist moment in design into a period where people are responding to a mix of historic periods and classical references."
Designers and retailers are offering furnishings inspired by late 19th- and early 20th-century Europe and America. You'll find warm colors such as plum, mustard, persimmon, teal, and charcoal. The newest wood finishes are often hand-rubbed to a lustrous glow. There are details such as tufts, nail heads, and evidence of artisanal handiwork.
Linens are woven in patterns that reflect tapestry and embroidery.
And in tabletop, we're seeing lots of painted ceramics, vintage industrial objets d'art, and basketry.
New wall art includes reproduction antique merchant signage, folk art, and bracketed shelves for collectibles. This trend is all about feathering the autumnal nest with more traditional things, which evoke the past and spark conversation.
Restoration Hardware's collection draws from elegant salons, old factories, and the rustic countryside. From Belgian brick palettes to architectural elements to distillery floor boards, the pieces have an authentic look.
Along with wood corbels and reproduction archival city maps, there's a copy of a 19th-century Italian gas streetlight, and a glass orb pendant inspired by one found in a Victorian hotel.
Look, too, for tables and mirrors crafted of salvaged wood from 100-year-old British mills and distilleries; pieces such as the muscular Balustrade coffee table and the ornate Entablature mirror make strong statements. Bow-and-arrow shelf brackets resemble ironwork in the grand old European train stations.
A French Empire bed is a regal piece; with toned-down accoutrements in the rest of the room - perhaps some simple linen drapery, softly hued bedding, and a few well-loved mementos - this would be a most inviting sanctuary.
Rowe Furniture's new Robin Bruce sofa group features several tufted, voluptuous pieces that suggest a luxe Paris apartment, circa 1920s.
Crate & Barrel's Scarlet chaise is a show-stopping swoop of luxe velvet comfort, and the Dylan wing chair in buttery, pewter-toned leather just needs a book and a blanket to be the perfect curl-up spot.
If the notion of a farmhouse in Tuscany or the Loire appeals to your inner decorator, you'll find lots to work with this season. At Pottery Barn, painted linen pillowcases look like plump Van Goghs. Wrought iron candelabra, lamps, and horse-head hooks have a rustic charm, as does a rough-hewn dining table and bench. Hammered copper vessels have great texture. And a collection of heirloom quilts from the crafters at Gee's Bend, Ala., among other artisans, brings America into this relaxed, rural style mix. Crewelwork lampshades and pillows have a nice folk-art look; find more at Homegoods, too.
Boston-based Nikki Dalrymple's Acquire design studio and store has a great industrial lamp made of shesham, glass, and nickel that holds a vintage-style Edison bulb. It hits the antiquarian-chic trend square-on, and would complement any of fall's new decor.
The old days never looked so fresh and new.
