Design Group – Old and New

November 27, 2017

design group rusticRustic wood finishes does not mean a rustic room!  Current trend mixes these rough woods with stone and brass in the candle holders and with modern art featuring grays, whites, and reflective gold to present an extremely elegant atmosphere.  Just a reminder to you, greenery always enhances an area by bringing a freshness that is inviting in itself.  This featured design group is all available through one of my suppliers and I’m happy to quote if you find this appealing.
