Custom Cabinetry DetailIn the various blogs we post during the year,  we  show lots of images of our kitchen and bath cabinetry exteriors – but the story goes much further.  Our team works closely with you and your designer to make sure your cabinetry is as functional as it is fabulous on the interior too.

If you have a special and substantial silver or flatware collection, we can create drawers and dividers that effectively protect your pieces and make them accessible.  Do you have a large spice collection?  We can design drawers and storage areas that make them easy to see and easy to reach.  Are you particular about where your dishwasher and trash bin need to be?  We can help create integrated cabinetry that will creatively conceal these items, all while ensuring that  they’re easy to reach and find too.

The list of things we can do for your kitchen is limited only by your imagination.  Contact us today and let us help you create the kitchen of your dreams.

Trends Get Personal At High Point Market

Habersham American Treasures Sea Island King BedAccording to a recent article on the highpointmarket.org website, “Design leaders at the Fall 2011 High Point Market said home decorating is now far less about specific styles or periods, and more about putting a personal stamp on each room.

They interviewed designers and exhibitors at the recent 2011 October Market to get their take on style directions.  They said it’s less about following a fad, and more about feel-good comfort and simpler designs.”

This is a direction we’re certainly seeing here at Habersham.  From the simpler, cleaner designs found in the pieces in our American Treasures® collection of copyrighted designs to our expanding custom cabinetry capabilities, we’re constantly working to make sure we can help our customers put their own personal stamp on each room.

Best of Market: Furniture Today Calls Out American Treasures ® Apothecary Chest As ‘Market Winner’

by Robert Williams, Vice President of Design  |

Habersham American Treasures Apothecary ChestI was delighted to see that Furniture Today magazine selected our new copyrighted American Treasures® Apothecary Chest design for inclusion in their November 7, 2011 “Best of Market” article. This story featured designs their editorial team considered to be “Market Winners” from the recent October 2011 High Point Market.

The designers and retailers visiting our showroom during Fall Market certainly seemed to agree as we got a lot of positive feedback on this new design, as well as the other American Treasures® pieces we unveiled in our Market Square showroom.

Following in the footsteps of the other copyrighted furniture designs in the American Treasures Collection, the newest additions represent our  response to growing demand from many of our  interior design and homeowner clients who are seeking transitional furniture designs with simpler lines and cleaner styles.  These pieces take their inspiration from classic styles that have been updated and simplified.

As shown here, the  seven-drawer Apothecary Chest offers a delightful accent option.  We chose to show three separate chests lined up together in our showroom to highlight the piece’s versatility.  As with all designs in the collection, this chest is available in any of our hand-styled finish options.  It is also available in a 6-drawer style.

Transitional Touches For Today’s Home

Habersham American Treasures Loft BookcaseThere is always an ebb and flow to design.  Traditional is in one moment, contemporary the next. Right now, we’re seeing a juxtaposition of sorts.  Traditional looks will always endure but  as you flip through the pages of today’s shelter magazines, it seems that the retro, contemporary, modern looks are really coming on strong.

With our new American Treasures ® Collection of copyrighted furniture designs, we’ve worked to strike a transitional cord with simpler lines and cleaner looks that can blend into traditional and contemporary settings alike.

Among the pieces that made its debut during the October High Point Furniture Market is the Loft Bookcase, shown here. I like to collect interior and design magazines, which I often use as reference materials.  So  in addition to providing a nice showpiece for accents and books, I sized the shelves so that they could  provide the perfect space for these types of magazines too.   We’ll be posting some more of our new American Treasures ® pieces here soon so check back regularly.

Sources of Inspiration: Biltmore ® Sideboard

by Robert Williams, Vice President of Design  |  
November 12th, 2011

Habersham Biltmore SideboardFrom trade and shelter magazines  to antiques and architecture, I’m always looking for sources of inspiration for our newest designs.  One resource that never fails to deliver is Biltmore® Estate.  As Habersham is a licensee,   I look to the art, architecture, history and hospitality that defined this landmark Asheville, NC estate at the turn of the century to find my inspiration for the  pieces  I create for our Biltmore ® Chateau Reserve Collection .

One of the new designs we introduced during the recent October 2011 High Point Market is the Biltmore ® Sideboard, shown here.    For this particular copyrighted furniture design, I chose to reflect some of the styles and design lines found on a number of pieces found in the home’s Sheraton Room  on the second floor.

If you haven’t been to Biltmore ® yet, I encourage you to do so –especially as we head into the holiday season as it’s particularly lovely this time of year.  To learn more, visit www.biltmore.com
