Table Madness

I'm just mad for these new Nixon tables by Jonathan Adler. Totally head over heels and scheming up a spot for them in my home...

Back to my Roots

I have posted on this Chista Bronze root table before (way back in the good ol' days, 2008.) I'm still DROOLING over it, so it is definitely going on my dream wish-list for my dream Malibu home.



Here are some other gorgeous tables they make that have me swooning.




This enormous teak root is a more gorgeous sculpture than anything man can make. Happy Teak Tuesday!

Source LA

Last week I went with the talented Jessica to Source LA - a carefully curated collection of art and furnishings in the LA Mart. The music was pumping, hors d'oeuvres were circulating, and these two coffee tables captured my heart...

The DJ Coffee Table by Bughouse/Jeff Klarin.

And an ode (in coffee table form) to my favorite state in the Union - California! by J. Rusten Furniture Studio.

Lonny Talk / Coffee Talk

A few months ago, I decided to set aside one day per week for "Swedlow Design Development Day." I wanted one day per week of doing something to get my creative juices flowing besides sitting in my office - visiting a museum, antiques shops, sketching at a sculpture garden... Hmm, well after two weeks, that fell by the wayside as I got too busy between clients and life. But I knew I was really busy when DAYS went by before I was able to flip through my FAVORITE online design magazine, Lonny.

My obsession with this issue of Lonny is the gorgeous coffee tables they show off.

I've been obsessed with this bronze gorgeousness for years.

Clearly I'm biased on those last two - here is my den with the lucite coffee table on a bold black/white rug... And my adorable pup (my favorite accessory.)
