Hello, Gentle Readers! I have a favor to ask. Woodbridge Furniture is holding a photo contest to see which designer features one of their pieces the most beautifully.
Naturally, I think we do ;)
Would you be willing to hop over to this photo contest link and vote for us? This is the picture, which features Woodbridge’s “17th-Century Chest.”
You have until this Friday, April 16th. Many, many thanks in advance.
Selecting that photograph got me thinking.
I feel as though I’m constantly searching for pieces like the 17th-Century Chest. Small bachelor’s chests and shallow cabinets…they’re perfect for that long wall in your living room, where it could be a bar or just a pretty surface for photographs and objects;
in a corner of your dining room for linens or serving pieces;
near the front door in your foyer (perfect for the dog’s leashes);
or in a guest bedroom to encourage visitors to stay three days but no longer.
Finally, it should go without saying that a pair of chests or cabinets looks lovely flanking a fireplace.
As an accent piece, your chest or cabinet can be as pretty, or quirky, or non-matchy as you like. AND — of particular importance to me as your interior designer — they just make a room feel richer and more interesting. Never a bad thing.
