While constructing a new building on famous 6th Street (formerly Pecan Street) in downtown Austin Texas, an advertising firm decided to transplant an historic pecan tree to the back of the lot rather than cut it down. Unfortunately, the transplant was not successful so the tree was milled into natural edge slabs that were then used to create this one-of-a-kind table. The shape of the pedestals in the base of the table works very nicely with the organic curves in the top's outside edges. This is a beautiful table of original design, and built to last for generations. Photo by Louis Fry

Los Angeles Living Room

Rookery Design

For this project, the homeowner wanted a new color palette and all new furniture. Her biggest request was for the vibe of the space be “sexy.” She already had the super sensual artwork—Art Nouveau advertisements and ladies with smoky curlicues—so those served as the inspiration, along with the fireplace. We decided on white walls with navy blue trim and fireplace to make it really stand out as a feature, and carried the navy throughout with accessories. Brass and marble finishes for her accessories also helped give the living room a sexy vibe, while still being very bright and open.
