Sedona Red Suite |
||
![]() Making single pieces of furniture in the various styles that comprise Arts & Crafts is great. It's what we do most of the time. But once in a while a client has the vision (and the budget) to ask us to create an internally consistent suite of furniture. Using the same design elements, the same finish, and the same materials makes a room that just goes together. It fits. It belongs. |
||
![]() There are six pieces in the suite. There's a headboard for a King-size bed. |
||
![]() There's her dresser. |
||
![]() There's his dresser, above, and here seen from the side. |
||
![]() There are two matching night stands/end tables. |
||
![]() And a blanket chest with cushioned leather top. |
||
![]() Aroma is one feature that seems to get short shrift. In this case, though, it gets full play, because the blanket chest is fully lined with aromatic cedar. Ahhhhhh! |

A suite like this is not an inconsiderable investment. But if you have Desert Craftsmen design and make the pieces for you it'll cost you less than two, or even one, piece from the firm whose lineage resembles Abraham Lincoln's axe cited elsewhere. The shadow of Greatness is still just a shadow. |
