Made in Ash
with a natural finish, the Purple Heart trim on the side board
and dining room table resulted in a distinct and unique color
scheme for this dining room. The table has elliptical ends and
tapered legs to soften the straight lines.
|
Generally, side boards are narrow to allow mobility in the
dining room but this side board has a full-extension pullout
tray to double the surface area. Down below behind doors are
adjustable shelves for the fine china.

While the standard height of a dining room table is 30
inches, this breakfast nook table is 36 inches high to fit the
bar stool chairs. The butcher block look done in Alder with a
natural finish has a ten-tile inset to accommodate hot pots.
|
A custom built home on the east mountains had a unique built
in banco for a breakfast nook and the customer wanted a table to
fit the curvature. The result? A round pedestal table done in
Oak with a single stem pedestal.

Custom Coffee/End
Tables

 |
The use of expensive Walnut was offset in cost by the amount
of glass in this showcase coffee table. The dark Walnut wood
framed the customer’s collection of Native American treasures.
Of interest, the display case has a lid for easy removal – no
dusting but easy access.
|
In
contrast, this coffee table measures 30 x 60 inches. The three
glass panel tops allows viewing into the top row of drawers that
showed off a magnificent collection of seashells from worldly
shores.
|
 |
 |
The two lower drawers kept large aerial photography maps
that couldn’t be folded. The solid Oak table has recessed base
so that folks can pull up and play board games.
|
The blue
glass top on this table echoes the faint blue wash, done on Oak,
creates a cool, tranquilizing centerpiece to this Southwest
living room.
|
 |
 |
The “Zia” designed trim on the four sides of the underskirt
(and even under the glass!) are duplicated on the side banco
made to display the customer’s personal collection of art.
|
Done in the same southwest style, this end table was done in
a beige wash to match the customer’s leather recliner. Of
note, I often use glass tops with coffee and end tables. The
glass is always encased in wood to protect the edge of the glass
from chipping. A glass top table in a high-traffic area is
sensible, easy to wipe clean, and is fairly inexpensive.
Available in many tints, glass can be used to complement the
tone of the wood.

This set of
stereo cabinet, end and coffee tables are in Alder with a
natural finish. The tables are different in dimension but carry
common themes, notably slats and a double reveal.
|
Coming down
from the table tops is a double layer of trim, one smaller than
the other creating a recessed frame – hence your double reveal.
|
 |
 |
The
mission-style slat design is repeated in the end table and
stereo stand. Of note, the customer liked the open slat design
to prevent heat build-up with his stereo equipment.
