9 Top Credenzas


You may remember me mentioning that we've lost about 95% of our furniture this month.

The low teak dresser in the first photo below is what we used as a credenza in our living room. My dad and I refinished it two summers ago, and I'd just completed giving it a once-over after our hot summer. We used to put our television and West German pottery on it.

My task in the coming months is to find replacements. 

Below are nine credenzas that are tickling my fancy at the moment.

Interior Design Show West 2009

Last night my husband and I went on a 'double date' with Rockelle and her spouse. It was fantastic to get out after being trapped for nine nights by my psyche, an uninhabitable apartment and a hotel room designed around polyester hues of sage and Tuscan sun. After sushi at Kaide we headed down to IDS West, which, after losing 95% of our furniture in the last ten days, was highly anticipated.

Design shows in Vancouver = superior craftsmanship (particularly woodworking), the environment, pastels, and clean lines.

Reminiscent of the work of Brazilian designer Jean Gillon, this particular camel stool was offered up for auction in 2006. You can buy a similar piece here.
