It’s that time again; we’re due for a quarterly office meet-up and we need to do some project documentation!

We recently came across the portfolio of sushi-chef turned furniture designer Michael Wilson and really liked what we saw.
While shopping with a client this weekend, we ran across a pair of vintage end tables labeled John Stuart, Inc. Unfamiliar with the maker, we both loved the proportions and beautiful hardware on the drawers. Details like dovetailed construction and 50% off an already LOW price for the pair made our decision very easy: the tables went home with us thirty minutes later.
Ikat, a type of fabric traditionally produced throughout Central and Southeast Asia, has gained in popularity over the last several years. With its graphic patterns (which are achieved through resist dying and weaving) and bold color pallets, ikat can make a great choice for small upholstery projects like occasional chairs.
One source that we have used quite a bit as of lately is West Elm. In the past, West Elm’s furniture has been a bit blocky and modular looking, but things are changing for this company.
