Design Sleuth investigates plasma lifts

Often it’s fun to ask the design pros to name one of their favorite pieces currently available on the store floor.  As my luck would have it on this particular day, most of the DOTI at John’s Creek designers were either out on job assignments or helping customers when I posed this question, but both Nathan, DOTI’s new designer, and Alan, the owner, were ready to participate.

One of Nathan’s favorite pieces in the store right now is a Hekman plasma lift console.  “I really love this piece of furniture,” he laughed.  “It’s great for those design situations with married couples where the husband wants a television in the living room or dining room or the wife wants a television in the eat-in-area and the other one doesn’t.  No one even needs to know there is a television there.” 

I liked the fact that the Hekman plasma lift comes in several different styles and finishes (DOTI at John’s Creek has traditional model 6-8671 in distressed ebony in the store).   And the dimensions (55-56 inches wide by 44 inches high and 22 inches deep) allow the console to hide a good-sized television with sufficient space on the top to permanently keep some decorative items: vases, candles, photographs, etc., so it doesn’t look naked when the television isn’t out.  The console is part of a modular system, so it can be used alone, or you can purchase storage piers and other components to match.  To see the Hekman line of plasma lift consoles go to http://www.hekman.com/.

With Valentine’s Day coming up the weekend after next, I decided to check with the DOTI at John’s Creek designers to find out whether they had simple suggestions on making the master bedroom more romantic during this very romantic time of the year.  I’ll share Nathan’s and Elizabeth’s ideas with you next Tuesday. 

Talk with you then,
