Modern Home Furnishings
As we discussed I think Modern Homes can be modern, both through architecture and also through the internal aesthetics you choose to illustrate your world with decoration, furnishings, textures and colors. To that end, there are lots of great decorating, furniture and local places that feature modern pieces that I would love to highlight. Naturally there will be pieces that I just like to like and there are some that really speak to me. I’ll probably pull those images and link to the locations there. If there is marketing material that I come across I’ll probably highlight that too.
There are, of course, lots of stores all over the nation that highlight modern aesthetic which I’ll move into after we have exhausted the Dallas area. The internet has made cities just villages one click over and we should as appreciative consumers, exploit that as well. However, I want to pimp the local as much as I can. See my love affair with Dallas a few posts ago to understand.
Recently I a friend, gave me a flyer she got in the mail about a new store called Natuzzi. It’s apparently new to Dallas as the card is for a “Grand Opening Sale”. The sale is over tomorrow (October 24th, 2008) but I explored the site and found a piece that I’m attracted to.
DURINI WALL UNIT
This wall section appeals to me – I would prefer lighter lacquer which I swear “a wide range of finishes are available”. The dark makes me think seventies decor but I like the flush shelf with the wall and the presentation of the objects versus what’s holding it up. The versatility of the arrangement allows multiple configurations and allow artful presentations. I also can envision technology integrated which would fuse this together perfectly for me. Think flat screen snuggled up in the space. Here is Natuzzi’s page on the piece.
KOLE Sectional Couch
This couch is not exactly what I wanted you to see. It looks comfortable though. My dogs on it would be a disaster. Perhaps another color. But I was very attracted to the wall unit and shelving behind it. Again flush, the color is lighter and the wall unit just accents the clean lines. It looks modular so you could arrange it allow for heights and products but it’s really attractive to me. Good for a common room. But being wacky, I could see it in a kitchen for plates, glasses in an open setting. See pics, details here.
I’m not on their payroll but in the essence of giving you complete data, here are their two addresses in the local area if you are interested.

In site news, I got to go back to Urban Reserve. I am very excited that Diane Cheatham has responded so enthusiastically to educating me and allowing me access. If you notice a trend toward me highlighting both Urban Reserve and Diane Cheatham, you’ll know why. An entire Modern Home community that I can walk and take pictures of and ask questions, I’m in heaven. It’s easier than knocking on strangers doors and saying – HEY Can I take a picture or two of your house. Most people are rightly creeped out by that.
