Stunning table
When I first started writing this blog, I asked Alan Wyatt, the owner of DOTI at John’s Creek, to show me one of his favorite pieces on the showroom floor. He directed me to a gorgeous round glass topped table with a beautiful carved wood pedestal base. The base is really a work of art. The table is manufactured by Lorts Furniture, a three generation family-owned company in Arizona. You can find out more about them and their furniture by visiting here: http://www.lorts.com/ .
Alan loves the distressed casual elegance of Lorts casegoods and said that this particular table is a good example of the quality of their work. “We could place this table in several different homes and it would look completely different and be totally unique because of the incredible customization offered by this manufacturer. If you wanted a cracked paint finish, silver or gold leafing, extra distressing, or a two-toned look, this is one of the manufacturers to consider. These guys take a lot of pride in what they do and make heirloom quality pieces. One of the things I really like about them is the fact that their distressing is so well done. It doesn’t look intentional, like someone is just trying to make marks.”
Alan said that Lorts makes a storage coffee table that has both grace and functionality. “We had one in the store once that had a gorgeous two-toned jeweled finish. It was absolutely stunning.”
A Lorts table is a great choice for those who desire unique timeless furnishings. DOTI also has some other great tables I’ll talk about in future blogs. Designer Veronique mentioned another table as one of her favorite pieces on the store floor and described how she would use it in a dining room redesign. I’ll share that story with you later as well.
Until then.
