Although originally intended as an outdoor piece, the bench is at home in the couple's living room. Porter found the bench at High Point and adorned it with custom pillows. This simplicity of design defines a new direction for the Bryan home, proving that minimal decor needn't mean cool and austere.

A custom bed and bench are the focal points of the cool and calm bedroom. The silver tree side table is by Phillips Collection, and the crystal block lamps are from Visual Comfort (both available at White Birch Studio).

There is a substantial heft and weight to the shades in the bedroom, allowing for privacy and respite from the sun. Acrylic legs on a Wisteria bench create the illusion of added space, balancing the size of the bed by Bernhardt. Photo credit: David Duncan Livingston

As its name implies, our Industrial and contemporary Montana home office desk takes its inspiration from the great outdoors with large wood logs being cut and joined together, with 2" solid acacia hardwood mounted on iron legs. The planks are constructed with a special wood working technique. To maintain originality and rustic characteristics, panels have live edges, large knots, splits and cracks that lend to the organic nature of each desk. This contemporary desk is finished with a sealer lacquer and an all-natural bee wax. Dimensions: 54"W x 29"D x 30"H Made of Solid Acacia wood Deep Walnut/Antique Nickel Finish Due to the organic nature of this product, variation from 1-3 inches may occur within each dimension provided. The appearance of finishes, tones, textures and grains will vary slightly from piece to piece due to the nature of the wood and the hand-finish process giving you a truly unique look and style. Natural distress and imperfections highlight the beauty of rustic woods and give each piece a charm of its own
