Mark’s Favorite Find

The Kent Sofa by Hickory Chair is a classic “Chesterfield” style sofa that is an excellent choice for a Den, Library or Grand Salon.  The soft chenille fabric has an added touch of elegance with a caramel color soft leather welt and buttons which highlight the deep tufting.  The aged brass nail heads add the perfect outline to the well designed silhouette that has been an English classic since the mid-1800’s.  The original sofa was designed by Lord Chesterfield for comfort of his gentlemen friends with a high back and deep cushions that allowed them to sit straighter and not wrinkle the creases of their clothing.

This sofa is a perfect spot for me to relax while I’m reading . The goose down pillows and plush seating make for a perfect spot to read followed by an afternoon nap!

Tricia’s Favorite Find

The Placa Buffet by Taracea is a classic and beautiful buffet made out of reclaimed Guanacaste wood.  The design is symmetrical, centered around the black resin part on the doors.  It is a diagonal bookmatch style, inspired by the Ying & Yang figure.  The finish is in ochre or dark Guanacaste/black resin.   

The Guanacaste wood utilized in this buffet consists of vertical cuts, highlighting sections of the sapwood near the center, while retaining the organic waves on the remaining heartwood. The top of the buffet is a custom Placa metal finish. It is a homemade finish at the Taracea factory. 

I grew up near Brown County, Indiana, and now I live in Indianapolis. I love this product because the Placa buffet reminds me of the outdoors where I grew up, with its natural wood finish and texture. It also adds a touch of city living with its modern finish on top.
