Entertain With Style - Holiday Cheer


Step One on how to stock a home bar is designating a cabinet to store your supplies. More often than not, the bar is just a stolen corner of the kitchen or den where liquor collects dust but imagine how nice it would be to have an organized enclave that's inspiring, refreshing, and, above all, exquisitely useful! Consider, then, these options -- all functional and some of them with more than meets the eye...


The Brown Saltman cart, above, converts into a larger tea table for additional space when entertaining. Click images for info and pricing.


The lines of this two tiered server mimic a Jacques Adnet desk we love.


All business at first glance, the cabinet above has a pop up top and tons of bar specific interior storage.


The Granddaddy of bar carts! This classic rolling server is identical on both sides and has fold up leaves for 86" of counter space.

All in stock and available for immediate delivery.

Melissa McClure's LA Loft

No two client homes are the same and never has that been more true than when the space in question is the Washington Blvd loft of jeweler/goldsmith Melissa McClure. Melissa has a unique style of interior design and a passion for industrial objects so it was only a matter of time before we found one another. Her home really must be seen in person to fully appreciate but these images, via design sponge, accurately capture the vibe. Allow me to give you a tour...

Brian Larson & The Sled Base

Our customer, Brian, asked us to make the Florence sofa look more like the Milo Baughman inspired chair he recently purchased from ever stylish Lawson-Fenning. So we did, and it turned out like this...


It fits perfectly in his living room with a nice mix of un-restored vintage heirlooms and new modern classics (such as the slate poly shag rug also purchased at Empiric). He claims his place is a work in progress but what real home isn't.

Thanks Brian for giving us that little push to go the extra mile for what you really wanted.
