That got me thinking, “what can one really get for around $4,000?” So, I took on the task of creating an entire room using some of my favorite pieces for under $4,500. Using some of our more affordable lines and even items from our Outlet Center, I had success. An entire room under budget! Check out some of my great finds.

1. Sofa by Kincaid. They have tons of fabric options to personalize your pieces!

2. Accent Chair by Kincaid. They even let you customize on their website. Check it out!

3. Cocktail table by Bernhardt. The stone top brings a great natural element, and no coasters needed!

4. Side table by Bernhardt. Small scale, big impression!

5. TV console by Hooker Furniture. So beautiful and unique!

6. Seagrass rug by Sustainable Lifestyles. Adds a little something extra with very little cost to you or our environment.

With Free Delivery during the month of January, you can create a stylish new room to fit any budget.

Of course, being in the furniture business, I thought this was some pretty interesting news! It had me daydreaming of the 1920s for a minute, and then I starting thinking, “Is this even a fact or did someone make it up?” Finally I thought of what type of furniture Al Capone would like.

I don’t know about you, but when I think of American gangster, Al Capone, I picture him sitting behind a dark, bulky desk in his over-sized executive chair puffing on a big, fat cigar.

Executive Desk

Something like this Executive Desk from Hooker Furniture would stand up to his reputation. It is bold and regal, and has plenty of storage for who-knows-what he might need to hide away.

Bradford Desk Chair

Add to it a tufted chair that makes a statement. It’s comfortable but professional. And let’s face it … we know he won’t be sitting there often, so the tufted back will offer a nice view in his absence.

But I don’t think it would stop there!  The more I thought about it, I came to the conclusion that he would want a statement-making piece worth of his reputation. Something with lots of storage for his many “accounts” would surely be in his office space. I think he would pick any of these great wall units in a heartbeat!

Cherry Creek Executive Office

Home Office

So whether or not it’s true that Al Capone’s business card said he sold used furniture – he would definitely have to admit that the selection we have at Furnitureland South has him beat.

Ahhh! Look how perfect  and immaculate this space is. So crisp, flawless, and … unrealistic? Perhaps. If you even know someone with a child (or a pet), you might want to rethink making your living space this stark. I love daydreaming about living in this utopia just as much as the next Elle Decor reader, but deep down, I know at the end of the day that this ivory interior would end up more ecru at best.

Now I know this is not everyone’s fairytale space (it does happen to be one of mine), but I think it well represents one common goal I see among many of my clients. They want their space to look “put together,” “complete,” …”clean.” By “clean” I’m not talking about disinfected and free from stains (although that’s always nice). It’s a look created by intention and a sense of thoroughness.

Thankfully, there are other ways to achieve this look other than the obvious choice above. I’m going to break it down into four scenarios that can create a clean and finished space, however there are numerous options.

{Image courtesy of Huntington House}

This is a very popular look and can work from the most traditional style into the more modern. What I refer to as “tailored” is a refined aesthetic created by tight-back upholstered sofas, tufting, scalloped corners, and nailhead trim. Perfectly coordinated with a fashionable fit.

Like the stark, white living space I first mentioned above, monochromatic (tones of one color) schemes are successful at creating a complete look. But it doesn’t have to be white … go gray, chocolate, or gold. Using one color really plays on this concept of a unified whole. Still want to add color? Its okay … you can! Just try to keep the goal in mind and don’t get too carried away. Having too many different tones and patterns creates separate focal points, and the eye does not know where to focus.

So what’s a clean line? I think the best way to explain it is to imagine tracing the item’s silhouette. Are you having to swirl around curved arms, intricate carvings, and other oversized, cluttered features? Clean lines are fluid, uninterrupted, and most importantly … simple. They allow Mies Van deer Rohe’s minimalistic approach of  ”less is more” to create a clean, blank slate.

Leather is the most durable of all upholstery options, with an average lifespan that is almost double that of a comparable fabric piece, therefore creating the greatest value for your hard-earned dollar.

{via Hancock & Moore}

It’s also a great texture option to add to to any room to offset the wood and fabric upholstery.

{via Bradington-Young}

However, choosing the wrong leather just like choosing the wrong fabric for you can cause issues. That is where I can assist. Based on your lifestyle and how you intend to use the piece, I can help you find the leather that best fits your wants and needs.

{via Hancock & Moore}

The implementation of designer colors, along with the more prominent use of nickel or pewter nail heads with darker leather colors, have really added flair to a portion of the industry that has long had a reputation of only being overly traditional and to be honest – a little stodgy.

So come visit our leather gallery to see what is out there. I’ll be happy to assist you.

But in August, we offer even greater discounts. Why, you ask? Well, partly because you’re just so fabulous to have around.

And this August, we’re offering amazing discounts off our already low prices for some of your favorite manufacturers like Henredon, Lexington Home Brands, Hooker Furniture, Habersham, Vanguard, Stanley Furniture, and so many more … it’s hard to name them all.
