The Kingsport Table brings rustic industrial style to your modern farmhouse kitchen. The table features a sturdy planked top, steel trestle legs and exposed rivets.
Tabletop is available in our classic Espresso or Distressed White finish. Optional hammered steel corner brackets in Black or Copper can be added. Light assembly required (comes assembled for local pickup).
All of our tables are handcrafted from solid wood in our woodworking shop in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Our furniture is finished with a multi-step process of distressing and hand-applying varnish to give each piece the look of a cherished antique. Each of our works showcase the natural characteristics of wood, including variations in color, mineral streaks, knots and burls. In addition, our finishing process highlights the organic texture of wood with its pores, ridges, slits and grooves; each piece is a tactile work of art that is truly meant to be appreciated by touch. Every decorative bracket is made from steel, hand-cut and meticulously hammered to create a one-of-a-kind rustic accent for our wood furniture.

The beautiful natatorium in this French home is unlike the characteristic cacophony box that many pool spaces are. The home utilizes the BASWA Phon Sound Absorbing System on the ceilings of the space to reduce reverberation and create a more tranquil environment, ultimately contributing to wellbeing.
The BASWA Phon Sound Absorbing System is integrated without altering the aesthetics of your home and appears just as plaster on walls and ceilings. Furthermore, testing of the material showed no mold growth per ASTM D 3273 Standards, making the system perfect for spas, natatoriums or porte-cochères.

Each wing of this former stable and carriage house became separate homes for two brothers. Although the structure is symmetrical from the exterior, it is uniquely distinct inside. The two siblings have different personalities and lifestyles; each wing takes on characteristics of the brother inhabiting it. The domed and vaulted space between the two wings functions as their common area and can be used to host large- scale social events.

BYTR architects designd the extension of this charming detached house in the old town of Zeist (NL). The characteristic contour of the existing home is used as a reference for the of 19th century house. Two modern gable roofs, together with the historical mansard roof make a surprising composition.
The extension of the house has doubled the living space. Despite the increase in volume, you experience the new building from the street as a little addition. The extension is hidden behind the existing building. Also inside you experience the expressive roof shape which creates a spacious and contemporary atmosphere.
The monolithic extension contrasts in materials and detailing of the existing house. The relief of the old brick walls defines the contrast with the anthracite flat façade panel of the extension.
The interior also shows the contrast between old and new. Through a large sliding façade you step into the modern living kitchen. A tight plastered ceiling and concrete floor stands in contracst to the original wooden beams and an oak parquet. Classic and modern brought together in a charming way.

A casual dining area adjacent to the kitchen includes a custom, rift-sawn oak dining table by Peter Thomas Designs and double-drum pendants from Hinkley Lighting. Limestone walls and floors, plus Douglas fir ceilings are characteristic of the home's interiors.

Inspiration for a transitional beige floor living room remodel in Kansas City with white walls and no fireplace

This kitchen remodel of a 70’s home reflects the character of the existing home and some design features of that era while giving it a fresh, modern look. The client wanted the remodeled space to blend in with the rest of the home, retaining some of the 1970’s character while including all the best features of today’s kitchens.
Removing the wall separating the informal eating area from the family room provided a nice open space allowing for a larger kitchen footprint and plenty of light throughout.
A combination of Decor's Dove Wing painted and Natural stained Walnut cabinetry was chosen. The dark walnut, slab lower cabinets unite the kitchen with the darker wood theme found throughout the home, while the white, slim-shaker upper cabinets give the space a light and airy feeling. The beautiful vertical grain of the walnut is the foundation of a theme that is echoed throughout the space: tall & thin vertical lines without bulk or needless ornamentation. The unique design detail gives the kitchen a great balance of depth and character while still brightening the space. Walnut crown molding throughout defines the space and ties everything together.
The vertical-set green Japanese tile from Virginia Tile, also characteristic of the 1970’s, serves as the backsplash and fills the range wall. The tall & slim theme is underscored by several design elements from the vertical tile and tall cabinet pulls in matte black from Top Knobs, to the thin quartz countertops, skinny shaker cabinet door style, and tall, slim refrigerator doors, all meant to eliminate excess bulk and lighten up the space.
An impressive focal point in this kitchen is the custom walnut reeded hood, designed to reflect a popular 1970’s feature. Narrow walnut shelves below the white upper cabinets near the refrigerator provide a nice surprise to the eye. An extra long island, decked in polished 2cm Corian Quartz countertop in Novello, provides ample seating, storage, and task space, making it an ideal surface for serving, eating, meal prep, gathering, and entertaining. The client desired a long island with comfortable counter seating at one end for a family of five, including space for a baby’s high chair.
High-end Bosch appliances and functional storage were also priorities. The dry bar on the opposite wall features additional storage and an Elica beverage refrigerator, framed by tall walnut larder cabinets on each end. The white larder cabinet doors pocket into the sides, revealing beautiful finished walnut interiors.
Wall cabinets feature Decor’s integrated under-cabinet lighting, while puck lights illuminate the beverage center counter. This kitchen is bursting with integrated storage. Many deep drawers feature interior double drawers making smaller items more accessible. Decor’s spice drawer to the right of the range keeps spices organized, while divided tray storage on the left of the range keeps these taller items handy.
While the design is inspired by the 1970’s, it exemplifies the best of the 2020’s, and the new space is open, bright, and functional for this family with young children.

This home features many unique characteristics, one being the original lava rock veneer found in the living room. To update the space, a concrete plaster surround was added to create a modern accent in the room.

Housed atop a sand dune overlooking a crescent shaped beach, this updated innovative shingle style home replaced an existing vacation home our clients purchased a number of years ago. Significantly upgrading what was previously there, the single characteristic they wanted to maintain was a curved glass element that made the home distinctly identifiable from the beach. The height of the dune is unique for the area and well above flood plane which permits living space on all three levels of the home. Choreographed to fit within the natural landscape, guests entering the home from the front porch are immediately greeted with stunning views of the ocean. Delicate wood paneling and textural details are illuminated by abundant natural light flooding the home. East and West facing stairs are greeted with a wash of sunlight in the morning and evening, illuminating paths to breakfast and returning to rest. Photo by Brennan Wesley

The guest bathroom inside this 18th century home featured outdated design elements reminiscent of the 1990s. By redesigning the original footprint of the space and interchanging the old fixtures with customized pieces, the bathroom now interweaves modern-day functionality with its historical characteristics.

We added a bold siding to this home as a nod to the red barns. We love that it sets this home apart and gives it unique characteristics while also being modern and luxurious.

BOSSA – the successful real wood surface programme for elegant cosiness
In its 2021 collection, LEICHT entered completely new territory and laid the foundation for a new type
of room concept and furnishing aesthetic in the high-end kitchen segment with the BOSSA programme.
Their courage was rewarded: since its market launch, BOSSA has proven to be extremely successful and
style-defining for diverse planning in the cross-kitchen living area. The characteristic design element is
the vertically lined surface structure of the real wood fronts, which makes a powerful statement. Protruding,
linear ridges, 7.5 millimetres wide with a gap of 5 millimetres between each ridge, give BOSSA
a delicate, extremely vital, three-dimensional look. The overall grid of the ridges of 12.5 millimetres corresponds
exactly to the vertical joint pattern of LEICHT – a graphic effect the new pullout system M8
also uses for orientation. The result is a stringent, visual fusion of kitchen, wall and unit fronts to create
a furnishing soloist. BOSSA comes in two veneers: the version in light oak has a Scandinavian look characterised
by tranquillity, while the version in dark walnut is sublime and elegantly reminiscent of Italian
‘grandezza’. BOSSA is architectural, modern, bold – and will retain these characteristics in the living space
of the future, too.
