Living Room Dining Room with modern / traditional styling
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKX7VpjV0ZI

Desirous of a lounge type living room, Rebecca creates a comfortable conversation area with 4 upholstered chairs facing each other. The casual jute ottoman placed in the center of the grouping adds to the causal nature of this family friendly home. This highly fashionable yet comfortable style takes this home beyond Moms Traditional to todays Modern Transitional style fit for any young and growing family.
The brown and cream damask is Barclay Butera's 30369.86 is available from Kravet through Designers and was used on the stationary window treatment panels as well as throw pillows used on each chair.

Trade resource? - You responded to the question about the chairs being purchased as a trades purchase, what does that mean? I also love those chairs and have found the perfect drapes I like on the Houzz site, but the response to where to get them was similar referring to a "trades" as well. What's up? »
· Comment · 8 months ago
Robeson Design @kateliszewski, LOL... Thats "trade" talk for only available to Designers Only... on a wholesale basis. What that means is, you would need to go through a Designer in order to purchase something because the sources only sell to people in the Design Trade. There is however another way... these chairs for instance can be purchased from store that sell the Flores brand of furniture. Your cost would be twice what the trade cost is but you can still get your hands on them. In San Diego, there is a store called "Metro Decor" and they sell Flores furniture. In the case of the fabric you are looking for, If it's Kravet Fabric, you are out of luck because the only sell to the "trade". Sorry for the lingo... we are used to the term but a lot of people are not. I should keep that in mind in my replies :-) Thanks for asking. RR

Agnieszka Fuksa Kravet fabric, Rebecca responded to that in other posts. My designer located it and I get my drapes in a couple weeks:) good luck

Robeson Design @dmeilan, I apologize for my delay in responding to you question. I get hundreds every week on Houzz and some fall through the cracks.
The name of the brown and cream damask is Barclay Butera's 30369.86 . Agnieszka Fuksa is correct, its from Kravet and you will need a designer to purchase it for you.
Again, I apologize for the delay but I hope this helps.

book shelves - what color are th book shelves? It looks black, but then it sort of looks like a dark wood stain? »
· Comment · 14 months ago
Robeson Design The custom made bookshelves are stained a deep espresso which is a fancy way of saying a back/brown color. They may appear black at first glance but at closer inspection you can see the wood grain is apparent through the stain.
For more on this project, be sure to watch the video we posted to youtube walking you through all aspects of the home and showing the clients reactions as well.

Robeson Design The window treatments are custom. They have an inverted pleat designed around the print of the fabric. They were then mounted to a 2X4ish piece of wood and wall mounted with L brackets just under the crown molding. Hope that helps :-) To see more of this project, watch the video on our YouTube channel. It has over 200,000 views.... SUBSCRIBE! Its free!

Great Dining Table Chandelier! - Where did it come from? How much? »
· Comment · 15 months ago
Robeson Design @CHEERFUL BLONDE, I apologize for this very late response to your question. I get hundreds every month and this one must have fallen through the cracks. If you are still looking for this piece its from Kalco 5799 24 Light Chandelier from the Morris Collection It runs around $2,000 for the fixture and is 42" round. It makes quite a statement. Attached (below the video) is a better photo of the fixture.
