As some of you may know, I recently finished up a beautiful project for wonderful clients in Calgary.
The project was FULL of custom millwork, which is always especially fun for me. At times it is less than fun for my carpenters who have to "create the vision".
While working on this lovely home the homeowners asked if I could design a table for the Nook we were planning to create in the kitchen.
As most designers know creating furniture is a dream, especially for a project you have been working on for over a year (read most projects). This is the ideal way to ensure the item not only fits in size, but works perfectly in the space.
So without further ado..here are the photos of the piece I was lucky enough to create!
The concept photo above shows the table "in situ". The clock was just decorating for the drawing...at first...
Once approved (which happened to fast I am still convinced!) I whipped up some shop drawings so the carpenters could accurately understand my vision.
The clients opted for a walnut top rather than base, a great decision for longevity!
You may have noticed the light from the concept drawing was NOT just decorating, we had already selected it..and it really makes this family corner cheerful!
The banquets are a combination of 2 outdoor fabrics, the bold stripe makes a fantastic statement while the woven texture provides a solid base. If you want to hear more about how to successfully mix and match fabric see this

And the wonderful clock,well, once it was in the concept drawing we all agreed we had to have it...and after a VERY long hunt..we found it!
