Habersham

One of the most popular designs in our line today is the Master’s Café. Our design team came up with this lovely piece in response to the growing trend for a café unit in the master bedroom.

Completely hand-painted and hand-finished, the Café’s interior can hold a small refrigerator/freezer, coffee maker or other appliances. Space is also provided to add a sink.

Available in countless finish and decorated styles, this piece can be customized to meet your size and space needs.

I was reviewing the Market Square building website ( www.marketsquareandsuites.com ) and felt that their theme, “experience the change,” perfectly captured the message we wanted to share with our own customers for the April 17-22, 2010 Market.  Like the Market Square building itself, which is undergoing a comprehensive renovation for Spring, we’re almost finished with the complete renovation of our own showroom –space 142 on the first floor of Market Square.  The goal?  To help visually communicate how our line has changed and evolved over the years.

Designed by Barbara Garrison, Dalton and Associates, Inc., High Point, NC,  our redesigned space will include:

NEW YORK LOFT:
The space opens with a New York loft environment.  Here, contemporary art and a host of other modern, eclectic accessories are cleverly merchandised with our furniture, upholstery  and a galley kitchen cabinetry design.

EUROPEAN ANTIQUE MARKET ENVIRONMENT
As you move through the space,  you’ll see that the next section reflects the look and feel of the famed open-air Paris antique markets –  filled  with antiques, architectural elements and other accessories.  This area will feature a wide variety of our grand scale and accent pieces in a host of decorated and hand-styled finishes – all merchandised among accessories reflecting an expansive range of decorating and design styles.

DESIGN CENTER
We also now feature a  new “design center” area featuring plenty of workspace and tables for you to meet with your rep to discuss your store needs,  home plans and other design projects.  This area is surrounded by easy-access racks showcasing all of our finish options, fabric swatches from the Habersham Feathers upholstery line, catalogs and other planning tools. 

We’ll also unveil two brand new kitchen displays, as well as a new master bath display to highlight our latest custom cabinetry features and finish options.  I’ll be posting more updates on the showroom space soon.  We hope to see you in April!

We’re putting the finishing touches on the introductions we’ll be unveiling this Spring.  Among the highlights are a number of new additions to our licensed Claude Monet Collection.

Inspired by the works of the great master, the  furnishings and interiors of his lovely home in Giverny, his renowned travels, as well as  the antiques and styles that defined his era, this particular collection has provided an unlimited source of inspiration for our design and artisan team.

One of my favorite pieces is the Bibliotheque shown here.  Among the first pieces we designed when we launched the  Collection a number of years ago , this one was inspired by  an 18^th Century French antique,  Grand in scale and design, it  features two adjustable shelves on the top and one door compartment on each side with two adjustable shelves behind each compartment door on the bottom. Three middle drawers provide additional storage space too. 

We hope you’ll make plans to visit our space  — Market Square 142 — during the April 17-22, 2010 High Point Market to see our newest designs inspired by the old master.

We’re always working on innovative ways to marry our Old World style with modern convenience.    That’s especially true with our home office designs.

Take, for example, the Edwardian Corner Office, shown here.  Reflecting style lines and architectural elements reminiscent of early 20^th century England, this piece was designed with today’s fast-changing technology in mind. 

The  bottom right side of the desk slides open (away from knee hole) to reveal 3 drawers and a CPU tower compartment. The left side has one file drawer and two additional drawers. The keyboard drawer flips down and pulls out. Both the CPU tower and desktop include wiring grommets and the unit also has a built-in five-outlet surge protector with remote switch. The top area includes adjustable and permanent shelving, as well as lighting above the desktop and top shelf.

As with almost all of the pieces in our line, this design can be customized to meet your size and space needs.  Click here to see more of our home office designs and be sure to come to our newly renovated High Point showroom during Spring Market to see our newest introductions – Market Square 142.

Bringing hand-styled finishes together with casual European design lines, some of our newest furniture-style islands can add warm, inviting looks to today’s kitchen.  Versatile enough to stand alone or to complement our  custom cabinetry designs, these islands are available in a wide array of finish and style options for you to choose from.

Among them, our Mountain Estates Island shown here.  This particular design brings warm, rustic, hand-rubbed finishes together with sturdy legs and a spacious work service to offer a truly elegant and functional kitchen accent.  

Whatever your style preference – rustic lodge looks, French Country, Tuscan, English Country or others – our custom cabinetry options and furniture pieces offer the building blocks to bring the kitchen of your dreams into your home.  To see more of our kitchen designs, click here.
