Katie’s Favorite Find

Individual sitting by a sleek, turquoise desk with a flip-up mirror in a stylishly decorated room, featuring modern artworks and elegant furniture.
Julian Chichester Silvy's Dressing Table with a floral orange stool in front.

Covered in a beautiful high gloss vellum, the Julian Chichester Silvy’s Dressing Table is my favorite. It has a feminine flare and is inspired by a 1930’s French original. In addition to the vellum, materials used include sycamore wood and aged brass hardware.

I love the bold teal color and the two-tone detailing on the pop-up mirror. I also love the materials used- with vellum being a natural skin no two pieces will be alike, truly one of a kind! Who wouldn’t want to pamper themselves at this beautiful statement piece?!

Claudia’s Favorite Find

The Bracci Regal Sectional  is my favorite find. The frame adapts to any transitional / contemporary setting, the leather is buttery, yet, easy to clean and perfect for families with kids. The power mechanism is individually controlled, and the head rest not only moves up and down, it also tilts back & forth.

Bracci does a phenomenal job as far as construction and details. The comfort level in all frames is amazing, and of course, the stitching adds an extra layer of design customization and uniqueness to this line.

Carol’s Favorite Find

The Pebble Armless Chair by Cisco Home is my favorite find. With an array of fabrics to choose from, this chair can be used in many different styles and applications. The Pebble Collection includes beds, sofas, and chairs to choose from.

This chair is surprisingly comfortable, considering it has a tight seat and tight back. The style is organic and contemporary with a low profile. With the swivel and no arms, this chair is fun and inviting.

Meet Katie | Scottsdale Junior Furniture Specialist

What is your past work experience/education? 
I have a BA in Interior Design, and I began my career working on both residential and commercial projects. I loved the creative process of transforming spaces, but over time, I found myself especially drawn to the furniture side of design—how the right piece can define a room, influence how people interact with a space, and bring a design vision to life. That interest eventually led me to transition into a role as a Furniture Specialist, where I could focus more deeply on the furnishings aspect of interior environments. Together, my education and work experience helped me see design not just as a creative pursuit, but as a way to solve problems and connect with people.That combination is what brought me—and keeps me—in the world of design.

Where were you raised?
I was born in New York but have spent majority of my life in Arizona.

Where do you draw inspiration from?
Mainly from nature especially plants and water elements, but I always keep my eyes open as you never know when inspiration will arise!

What is your favorite color?
It’s a tie between pink and blue!

What do you like to do in your spare time?
In my spare time, I love spending time with my boyfriend and our two dogs—whether it’s going for a run together, taking them on hikes, or just relaxing at home. I really enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes, especially when I can share a good meal with loved ones. Travel is also a big passion of mine—I love exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and finding great food along the way.

If you could travel back in time, where/when would you go and why?
I would love to experience the Woodstock Festival. Three days of peace, music, and cultural revolution! Also, who wouldn’t want to see Hendrix live!?

How would you characterize your design style?
I would describe my design style as an eclectic blend of glam, bohemian, and mid-century influences. I love the sophistication and luxe feel of glam — think metallic accents, plush textures, and statement lighting — balanced with the laid-back, artistic vibe of bohemian elements like layered textiles and natural materials. I also draw from mid-century modern design for its timeless shapes, clean lines, and functionality.

Do you have a favorite quote?
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.” — Henry Ford

What is your favorite food?
Sushi!

What is your favorite TV series?
I am boring and don’t watch a lot of TV. If I can, I’d rather be enjoying the outdoors!

Anything else you would like to share?
I am grateful to be working with such a great team. Thank you all for being so welcoming!

Claudia’s Favorite Find

The Carbon Sectional by Rene Cazares  is my favorite find. The structure and construction of the frame is superb, this fabric is lush, has a beautiful hand and the combination of white goose cushion fills and/or trillium provides great support and comfort.

It has such a beautiful presence; we have many options as far as bases and finishes. And it is extremely well built and comfortable.

Carol’s Favorite Find

The Cadence Canopy Poster Bed by Century Furniture features a Mocha Oak finish and an Antique Brass canopy. It can be customized with various wood finishes and fabric options for the headboard.

The bed is simple yet elegant. The oak wood and fabric headboard give it texture, and the juxtaposition of the smooth metal canopy is a great way to combine materials. This bed can elevate any bedroom, whether it is a guest bedroom or a primary bedroom.

The Tatum Swivel by Century Furniture is part of their T-Chair series. It has different arm and base options you can choose along with different cushion options to fit your comfort.

The versatility of the options available really makes it feel like a built-for-me chair.  It is oversized and great for curling up to read, nap, or watch TV.  They now also offer a petite version which is perfect for when you want the look and feel but you do not have the space for a larger chair.

Kelly’s Favorite Find

The Lomme XL Chandelier by Visual Comfort features a soft brass finish, and is led integrated. This fixture is offered in a single pendant and a linear chandelier.

I am infatuated with the elegancy of this fixture. The different shapes of the water droplet glasses that comes with this fixture are stunning. Having the option to position the glasses to your liking is another “wow” factor. Not to mention that is is LED Integrated.

Kelly’s Favorite Find

The Mussels Cluster Pendant by Bomma is hand-blown and inspired by the organic beauty of the ocean. Finishes can be mixed and matched and you can choose options anywhere from a single pendant to a 20-light cluster.

This product is my favorite because there is nothing out there like this. The custom capabilities are amazing and the uniqueness of the artisan craftsmanship is beautiful. I love the fact that there are so many options to this series.

Carol’s Favorite Find

The Daina Tray Set from Made Goods features a faux shagreen material and is available in various colors and sizes. It showcases a beautiful brass metal detail.

Trays are a great way to complete the design of a room, keep things nice and tidy, or add a splash of color.  It’s form and function in one and Made Goods does a great job of having tons of options available from which to choose.
