Bolivian Rosewood
These rosewood vases are made from stumps left by well-managed forests in Santa Cruz. Local artisans use traditional techniques from Jesuit missions that were established in the 16th century. The combination of the stunning wood and seamless carving techniques makes a one of a kind timeless creation. Check out the other one of kind objects sold at L’aviva Home here…

To Each Their Own
I always say “To each their own” when I come across a color palette or style I don’t automatically love. Life would be boring if we all dressed alike or styled our home alike. Having said that, I don’t typically use iron when designing a home. But, anything in moderation is okay, right? Right! I love this craft dining table from Iron Accents. At first I thought how wonderful for kids…you know, color while they wait for dinner. But how great for adults too. When you are hosting tapas or spaghetti and things get a little messy from sharing or the sauces just clear the plates, pull the paper until a fresh sheet covers the top, and tear! That was one easy clean up.

End Of The Summer
I love this time of year for many reasons. One-My birthday is at the end of August. Two-Fall is coming soon. Three-New product lines! Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams has released their new Fall 2009 line. There are too many special pieces to say I have ONE favorite but I do love the Fleetwood Entertainment Console. It has 4 drawers and one door with an adjustable shelf. It also has a ventilated back for cords. The front has solid wood carvings that are stylish and can also serve as handles. Pull out the drawers for an added surprise, they are tomato red! How fun!

Queen Of The Castle
Bobby McAlpine debuted his furniture line through Lee Industries in 2002. He is a well known interior designer, architect, custom furniture designer, and author. His line through Lee Industries is quite interesting. The lines, proportions, and details make each piece special. Here is his Shelter Wing Chair. It is 32″ W x 37″ D x 46″ H with a nailhead and mini welt combo. The tailored skirt adds a touch of sophistication in an unusually shaped chair. The back is down and there is an 11″ H x 23″ W bolster pillow for additional comfort and style. I can see a pair of these at the head of a dining table, a single chair in front of a writing desk, or the loveseat version in front of a bed used as a footboard/bench.
