Favourite Furniture Fridays: The Peak of Tres Chic

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hi there!  My name is Sam and I blog over at<i> <a href="http://www.thepeakoftreschic.com/" style="color: #8e7cc3;">The Peak of T<span class="st">rès</span> Chic</a></i>.  I am so honored to be here today posting on Tiffany's lovely blog for Furniture Friday!  I adore furniture and decor, after all, that's the reason I chose to be in the interior design industry.  I would describe my style as a mesh between classic and modern glamour.  The piece of furniture I wanted to highlight today is my bedside table:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL2yoh1rGGddvV-4d6vuES6jEJ0JVxaDiZM8lZsZ9SU-tM1Mj_UGvu5-oxNhoUb8OGbJaLOnI5PIUiJJQ35a5Hv_Q2qmXwEw2ri9mNDV3-ksi8yeFRPrlbB-AEKmqOmROpBnPSlZBHmGE/s1600/furniture2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL2yoh1rGGddvV-4d6vuES6jEJ0JVxaDiZM8lZsZ9SU-tM1Mj_UGvu5-oxNhoUb8OGbJaLOnI5PIUiJJQ35a5Hv_Q2qmXwEw2ri9mNDV3-ksi8yeFRPrlbB-AEKmqOmROpBnPSlZBHmGE/s1600/furniture2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I adore this table because it has an old world feel and a pretty painted finish that is juxtaposed with mirrored drawers.  I found it at a local antique store, and when I spotted it I just knew I had to have it!  I am constantly rearranging the vignette displayed on it.  Recently, I took a favorite page from a coffee table book I have called <i><a href="http://www.assouline.com/9782843232886.html">The Allure of Women</a></i> and framed it in a simple black frame.  Then, I placed the picture on top of <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Glamorous-Rooms-Jan-Showers/dp/0810949741">Glamorous Rooms</a></i> to give the vignette a feminine feel:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKBikWVnAf_DrNLmQTCKLk1paHD7fvUxGoQZ5SHb35IDEq92a0PMzr4dachbIUlVPKaUis7x80BgReraT6Sxfd5ncdMEGNWqQJyLXjwo9h2ixN69x7pJE9hyHwpTCQS4jKzHZLniHcXPo/s1600/handbag1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKBikWVnAf_DrNLmQTCKLk1paHD7fvUxGoQZ5SHb35IDEq92a0PMzr4dachbIUlVPKaUis7x80BgReraT6Sxfd5ncdMEGNWqQJyLXjwo9h2ixN69x7pJE9hyHwpTCQS4jKzHZLniHcXPo/s1600/handbag1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love walking in to my room and seeing this piece.  I hope you like it, too!</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Thanks for having me over, Tiffany.  XOXO, Sam</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Isn't this piece of Sam's so gorgeous and unique?

I Love This Room

The weekend is coming to a close, so to cheer us all up I thought I'd post one of my favourite rooms. You may have already seen it, (it was the June 2011 cover of Canada's <a href="http://www.styleathome.com/homes/interiors/interior-sunny-living-and-dining-room/a/35938" target="_blank">Style at Home</a> magazine), but I still can't get enough! It's the living room of the magazine's contributing design editor Christine Hanlon. I love the space for its sunny, bright and refreshing vibe. Also, the colour pallet is amazing (I want a yellow and grey wedding scheme - one day).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGvSLs-t8nlTtGItwOSmnQa95DaxvvBdbvsxSAYe-ia8-_2LIdp0cul1ULPS4HOVPvsE9MLqMOcDKViFVDvXk-vWB1_3OVJiy66A2E5Bje1y9rwBgmzI922R580f68nmph6PwS0DZWn-8/s1600/Christine+Hanlon+living+room+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGvSLs-t8nlTtGItwOSmnQa95DaxvvBdbvsxSAYe-ia8-_2LIdp0cul1ULPS4HOVPvsE9MLqMOcDKViFVDvXk-vWB1_3OVJiy66A2E5Bje1y9rwBgmzI922R580f68nmph6PwS0DZWn-8/s1600/Christine+Hanlon+living+room+1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsE-1_5NCRTQL06BhMiHRA8GqBUuYKV8PTho5k17TMvlmTwzh0u7jvLVrbcOeVs3Oa6dHZRRJqmbTs5houdUl4XrjFPUt2ruf-GNE5zeCvOpJA4sfBuLvWdmdxw3r53Tjg4sSZmYnzstM/s1600/Christine+Hanlon+living+room+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsE-1_5NCRTQL06BhMiHRA8GqBUuYKV8PTho5k17TMvlmTwzh0u7jvLVrbcOeVs3Oa6dHZRRJqmbTs5houdUl4XrjFPUt2ruf-GNE5zeCvOpJA4sfBuLvWdmdxw3r53Tjg4sSZmYnzstM/s1600/Christine+Hanlon+living+room+2.jpg" /></a></div>Doesn't that bamboo table just steal the whole show? It's jaw droppingly gorgeous and accentuates the brass on the lighting fixtures. Also, the geometric pattern on the couches is just like my blog's background!
