Hello, Kitty.
How darling is she? She would be very sweet next to a fireplace, or in a little girls room.
Mod in Italy... oh, somebody stop me. You may not believe me, but this is not just a table, it's a lamp too! How fabulous is that? You can turn on the top cluster of flowers or the bottom, or both, to get the perfect ambiance for your cocktail as it rests on the lovely little table top. It has the tiniest little stamped metal tag that says MADE IN ITALY. 
Mirror, mirrors....are better photographed on the wall.
You all have good taste, a creative flair; vision, if you will. That is why I know you can look past this absurdly composed picture, and see this mirror in all it's glory. Beautiful in it's fabulously vintage-y current condition, or in a high gloss white or some yummy color. You decide.
You know what they say about the size of a lamps shade...
Ok, this lamp is HUGE. 22 1/2" to the top of the marble and 37" to the top of the shade. Bad shade, ignore it. Imagine peacock blue silk, or black with gold lining, or any number of lovely combinations. So pretty! circa 1960's 
Night night, night light. (that will have to do, until I become more clever than I am)
Adorable is the first word that comes to mind. In a totally eastern influence sort of way. Is your kid too cool for Pottery Barn, but still needs a little ambient lighting for bedtime? This emits a perfect warm glow and is about 12" high.
Tufting and brass together, what more can a girl ask for?
These are the sexiest legs I have ever seen. This little bench is in perfect condition with the ever so charming original gold brocade fabric. Very sweet. It would , however, be smokin' in charcoal velvet or in black patent. Oh my, imagine the possibilities!
15 1/2" tall, 49" long and 19"wide
I HEART Peacocks.
Don't they make a beautiful couple? He doesn't have to flash his feathers, since he has already found his other half. He has a bit of a fierce look in his eye, while she is just as demure and graceful as can be. Don't tell anyone, but they're not metal (they're plastic, shh). It doesn't make them any less lovely...but it does make them less expensive!
Ok, that's it for now. There will be a part 2 soon. Look for it in the next couple of days.
Bing Crosby with Phil Harris and Bob Littler listening to record player, Seattle, 1956
This lovely vintage chesterfield sofa is a piece of Seattle history. Littler's was an upscale clothier from 1931-1996. This is where you would sit to admire you gentlemen or lady friend as they tried on some of the finest attire Seattle had to offer. As the picture above clearly implies, it's entirely possible that Bing Crosby actually sat on this couch! What? You say that's a quite a stretch? Aah, what do you know.
It's such a shame that cigarettes are out of fashion, doesn't this lovely lounger make you want to relax in your silk peignior while sipping a manhattan and smoking a, why maybe, a Chesterfield?
(not that I condone smoking, bad dirty habit...)
I know that my taste has been a little on the brassy side lately, but I still have room in my heart for chrome. I wish I had room in my brain for camera skills (sorry for the crappy shot with the desk in the corner), but alas...
This piece is not in a store, so email to check it out.
Petite, well mannered, although slightly underweight (note the ribs) dog available for adoption. Loves to sit by the fire and look graceful, while you rub her lovingly on the head. She stands only 24 inches tall, so perfect for condo living, but would also enjoy taking in the view from the window of your country home. She was terribly exhausted after her trying rescue, so was not up to a serious photo shoot, but we will try again in the morning to capture her in more natural lighting. Send me an email if you are interested in meeting her.
Apparently, I have a thing for black and brass. Who knew. Certainly not I. I don't think anything in my house is black and brass. I just built my house and chrome is already losing it's luster, metaphorically of course. (the parts not covered in apple juice and yogurt are still quite shiny). And don't get me wrong, chrome is classic and will never fall out of my favor, but brass is really capturing my eye these days. The black lacquer on these pieces is like an aged piano finish and the insane brass hardware is picked up by a simple gold painted detail that frames the drawers. You can see a similiar piece here (see how the mega price tag on that one ever so subtly points out what a great value mine is? (for prices email me)), also made by American of Martinsville. This is seriously well made stuff.

sit by a fire sipping brandy and reading Hemingway. Or at least it makes me wish I were the type of person that sat by fires, sipping brandy and reading Hemingway. Somehow, that seems a little more swanky than sitting around drinking wild turkey and crying over past issues of Domino. But I digress, back to the chair. I'm thinking it is from the 30's as it was the favorite chair of a 1929 Harvard grad, and was lovingly cared for for 60 some odd years by his wife. The proof is in the Hasty Pudding, as the leather on this chair is near perfection. 
Please, have a seat. presented at KOAP Home425 822 2003 info@koaphome.com 120 central way kirkland, wa 98033
GORGEOUS black cabinet with brass accents. Ok, so I would love to wax poetic about all the virtues of this piece, but honestly, there are no words. You have to see for yourself. 
This table cannot be done justice in a photograph. I don't care how good the photographer is. I mean, how could you get any better than this, right! Ok, fine, so photography is not my strong suit. But this table is so devine, that I am sure you will forgive me. Incredible brushed brass legs in the style of the Gateway Arch by Eero Saarinen in St. Louis.
This is the real Gateway Arch. See the resemblance, they could be twins. And by the way I did (not) take this picture too. Can't you tell.
Table can be seen (and purchased) at KOAP in Kirkland 425 822 2003 info@koaphome.com 120 central way kirkland, wa 98033
Fabulous pair of Fighting "Roosters" We don't agree with "rooster" fighting, so maybe they need to live at oposite ends of your mantle.
