Rustic in build and modern in style,Modern Rust is a family owned and operated small business located in Virginia. The furniture they build is of their own design and it is made in small batches from recycled/waste lumber. Their designs often evolve, depending on their inventory of materials. Modern Rust pieces are solid wood, sturdy and very easy to move and re-assemble. Everything is made locally and from local materials.

Dandy Chandy Tuesday ~ Mini Disco!

I just found the cutest little dandy chandy that I may just have to order for my NEW MIAMI APARTMENT! YEAH! Check out this chandy from Goldenage.
I have a cute little art deco studio apartment with hardwood floors, and a seperate little dining room area I think this will look just perfect in. It's the right mix of old hollywood glamour just like the art deco building, but also looks fun and modern. Stay tuned for the final chandy I chose!
My fellow blogging P4D partner in crime Chrys has just bought a new home in DC, and I will have a new studio to decorate in Miami. Stay tuned for our many features on our tips and tricks of decorating, and what we are decorating our new homes with!!!!

By harnessing the original aesthetics of the staircase, the Deko Collection gives a new stylistic interpretation of space to living areas. These delicate bouquets aren’t limited to staircases – Cast also offers these verdant designs in pictures, decor and other delightful ideas that will brighten any home. Also available are matching accessories such as limited edition glass fiber vases and chairs adorned with delicate, hand-crafted embellishments.
Amazing Interior Penthouse
This duplex penthouse has an amazing corner position with dramatic diagonal views of the San Francisco’s downtown. These views are framed in discontinuous groupings of conventional double hung windows within openings that are painted in grey and blue colors. These openings visually blends with the actual skyline very well. There are two living
zones in the duplex. A darker inner one, lined with natural materials – walnut paneling and banquettes upholstered in deep blue mohair – defines the entry, stairwell and second floor pool/guest room. A bright outer zone, lit by windows, defines the double height corner living/media room and kitchen/dining area on the first floor and the master bedroom suite above. It’s contrasting neutral palette of white and grey synthetic materials – concrete, fritted-glass, and stainless and powdercoated steel – focuses attention on the “sky zone” that frames city views.
Rock-n-Roll Furniture
Two very creative young Italian designers have launched a new brand – Rocket. They’ve already created several cool products, which could be very interested for those people who like unusual things and don’t afraid to experiment with their interior designs. This collection especially fits for music and retro style fans. All items are inspired by different elements of rock-n-roll and disco culture. For example you could decorate your room by the awesome coffee table made in shape of one of the main symbols of freedom and independence – guitar. There are also cool bookshelves, cloth hangers and trays available. All of them could enrich any modern room design and create an amazing and original ambience.
Design Tip of the Week: (4.26.10) Sit at the Head of the Table
Adorn your dining room table with new head chairs! Its a great way to update your current dining set, change up your look or just add some elegance. Head chairs DO NOT have to match the rest of your set, so do some create mixing and matching. Get a rich upholstered chair with nail head trimming or a fun tall chair with a printed chair cover. Coordinate your fabrics with simple wood side chairs or benches. Get a chandy to top it off and you have yourself a new elegant dining area without having to get a whole new set.
Splurge on these Curved Upholstered Chairs from West Elm in Cocoa.
Pair these sleek modern chairs with a rustic bench like this one from Pottery Barn.
Or save your shekels with these black and white Curvature Dining Chairs from Target. TWO for $279 (yes that is correct)
Which would pair beautiful with black or white Windsor chairs, like these from Walmart (only $60 a pair if your in the market for a whole new set of chairs!)
Ikea also has a very inexpensive and versatile dining chair with a slip cover (great for keeping clean!). The Henriksdal chair has arms and is only $99.
Pair them with the Heritage Side Chairs from Overstock and put put a little chic into your country look.
Uber Lounge Chair
Here's a lounge chair to die for. Look at its angular finish, it makes the chair look supe stylish. I love the texture of the weather resistant Raucord fibres which means that you can put this baby anywhere including out in the open. The chair might look bulky but it is very mobile with the two small wheels attached to it. This lounger looks like it is mainly meant for some sun bathing and for that it has storage area to hold your towels, magazines, sunblocks, accessories, etc. You get the idea. If you want it to look extra cool and want the option of having some shade in the hot summer days, you can add a canopy to it. The cushion is optional as well. The mocha colour it comes in is uber awesome to look at.
