Simply stated, we stock an enormous selection from the very best manufacturers to suit every seating need.
We also specialized in wood, garden and lawn furniture from small, artisan craftsmen. When we were running the patio furniture store, we searched all over the country looking for smaller artisans that had little or no web presence.

We encourage you to look around the site for information about the wooden furnitures.
Our collections of fabric patterns and colors compliment any setting. With an average lifespan of 75 years, teak wood has long been acclaimed as the best choice for outdoor furnishings. The natural oil content in the wood makes teak resistant to water, weather and warping, allowing it to withstand season after season of use. Over time teak will age to a soft silver color. The original ‘new’ look may be maintained with the application of teak oil once or twice a year, though most prefer the classic elegance of aged wood. Small cracks may appear in the surface of the wood, this is part of the natural aging process and in no way harms the furniture’s integrity. Also, compared to many other woods, teak weathers in such a way that it stays smooth to the touch.
Spacify.com specializes in Fireplace Mantels, Teak Furniture, Teak Garden Furniture, Antique Reproduction Furniture. We are direct importers of many products, and distributors of others. We also carry a variety of fine decorative accessories for the home. This site shows some of our fireplace mantels, hand carved, in solid mahogany.

Mindy Sommers asked:
The marriage between fine art tile and high end furniture has been a long time coming.
Customized imaging, a process with which you press images on tiles using a heat press, specially coated tiles and special dyes, has generally remained in the realm of Aunt Ethel’s photo on a tile (“We Love You Aunt Ethel!”) or the local football team on a tile mural. The process itself is rarely used for fine art.
Generally speaking, those who sell custom imaged tile and related substrates are not artists. The subtleties and skill required for quality tile creation, such as formidable digital art skills like designing from scratch, retouching, airbrushing, cropping, etc., are the exception rather than the rule.
When my husband and I opened our art tile company, we were intent on changing that tradition. Our numerous galleries of original art have succeeded in giving art-appreciating tile customers a formidable selection from which to choose, not to mention an unheard-of option: custom, “from-scratch” design.
What has also remained elusive was putting that custom imaged fine art tile on high end wood furniture. That option has never existed anywhere, because the very few available furniture pieces that are created to receive tile are made in a Pacific Rim assembly line. They are unexceptional, with boxy, uninspired lines. The wells routed out to receive the tile are never sized properly, often forcing the use of grout to awkwardly fill huge gaps on the sides. Additionally, tile furniture has been relegated to Walmart’s low end patio furniture department.
That’s why we’ve embarked on an unprecedented marriage between custom art tile and fine, hand-carved wood furniture, offering a ground-breaking concept: let the customer design their own fine furniture down to the leg, frame and cockbead, stain, finish and embedded art tile.From hand-carved armoires to luscious end tables to heirloom-worthy coffee tables, The Painted Forest has succeeded in taking both tile and fine furniture to a brand new level, something only fine art custom imaged tile could have achieved.
As far as Aunt Ethel goes, there are always going to be hundreds of people who can slap her photo on a tile. But the China Cabinet it’s displayed on—the one with the art nouveau stained glass parabolas artfully embedded in the cabinet doors— is a different story altogether.

How to Carve Using Soapstone
Filed Under Furniture | Leave a Comment
yangxp asked:
Instructions
Things You’ll Need:
Files
Water
Furniture wax
Wood saw
Sandpaper
Dust mask
Rasps
Pencil
Soft cloth
Safety glasses
Oven
Newspaper
Learn to Carve Using Soapstone
Step 1:
Lay down newspapers on your work area to contain the amount of soapstone dust and shavings.
Step 2:
Put on safety glasses and a dust mask before you begin to carve. Soapstone dust is not as dangerous as the silica in granite, but is still not healthy to inhale or ingest.
Step 3:
Lightly sketch out your design on your stone, using a pencil.
Step 4:
Use a small wood saw to cut unneeded sections from the stone. A keyhole saw or hacksaw blade work well for this job.
Step 5:
Shape your sculpture with rasps and files of various sizes. These tools are used primarily for smoothing other types of stones but can be used to form shapes in a soft material like soapstone.
Step 6:
Apply a wet/dry sand paper to your soapstone. Start with a 200 grit paper and work up to a grit in the range of 600. Change the water with each new grade of sand paper.
Step 7:
Heat your kitchen oven to 200 degrees F to warm your sculpture before polishing. Ten to 15 minutes is sufficient.
Step 8:
Rub furniture wax into your warmed soapstone, using a soft cloth. If you want some areas to appear darker than others, apply more wax to those sections.
Step 9:
Buff until you achieve the level of shine you prefer.
Tips & Warnings
Soapstone is not appropriate to use for outdoor sculptures. Even normal weather conditions are too damaging for the delicate composition of soapstone and will lead to erosion.
Soapstone is a good choice of rock if you plan a sculpture with a high level of detailed carving.
You can use almost any kind of household wax or even vegetable oil to polish your stone. Experiment on small pieces to find out what finish works the best.
When heating your stone for polishing, be very careful not to burn yourself. Although the oven is set to only “warming” temperatures, the stone retains heat for a long time and will feel hotter than you would expect.

Timeless Appeal of Wood Furniture
Filed Under Furniture | Leave a Comment
Tonton Taufik asked:
It is often debated on what truly transforms an empty shell space into a wonderful home. For most, the answer is quite simple. It is the furniture in the house that actually gives its appeal and warmth. The furniture of the house acts as its focal point as aesthetically designed furniture that complements the entire house can transform just any space into a house with unique and rich décor.
Most home buyers and even interior designers perhaps spend more time narrowing down on the type of furniture that they want for their home than the time they spend actually short listing on which home to buy.
Deciding on the type of furniture that you want, the color and the make should be a well thought out decision as choosing the right furniture will not only make your stay at your home that much more pleasurable but it will also act as a talking point with visitors to your house.
Of course if you are completely confused on what type of furniture you want, you can never go wrong with furniture made out of wood. In fact, wood, still remains as one of the most favorite types of furniture for most interior designers and even for people who design office spaces.
Wood furniture has had a treasured appeal throughout the ages since the time home décor became an important and integral part of planning a house. Wood furniture has one of those unique charms that appeal to just about everyone, doesn’t matter where you are from or from what background.
Furniture made out of wood, always adds to the ambiance of the house and gives it a rich feeling all the way through. Not to mention wood is one of the most dependable materials available and if proper care if taken, then you wooden furniture can last you a lifetime.
Wood also allows you to be creative and it can be molded anyway you like. You can even have carvings on your wood furniture making it different from the rest. Also with many houses having wooden flooring, your wood furniture will complement every aspect of your house.
The natural appeal of wood is also one of the major points that make it such a desirable material. You can make your house look modern but at the same time retain the old world charm by using wooden furniture as they are so versatile. In fact many people have gone one step further and are now using absolutely natural tree barks as furniture. These tree barks are basically just polished barks from trees that have naturally fallen in the forests. They can be used as coffee tables to paper stands, tables for televisions and other electronics to pet houses etc.
Whether you are living in a villa or an apartment, wood furniture can be used extensively throughout your house and even go with any color scheme that you have chosen for the walls. The fact is that wood furniture has been the primary choice for anyone who is planning to decorate their house and has enjoyed a timeless appeal that will only get stronger as time goes by.
