Four Hands Furniture


So I've been busy of late selling furniture at Bob Mills Furniture.
I have bought a few things since working there that I need to share....like a cool antique round frame 
I found at The Feathered Nest the other day but today I'm going to share my favorite brand of 
furniture that I sell at Bob Mills.


The brand is Four Hands and it's a company out of Austin Texas.
I could sell this stuff all day..... I just love it.

 Notice the shape of the bedside chest.
 Yes, this is rustic but refined.
 Plenty of modern too.
 How about an industrial iron table with just the right feminine curves?
Straight forward and great!
 
I've been drooling over this chest on our floor since starting my new job.
I love that its weathered gray on the outside and robin's egg blue on the inside.
card catalog...yes!
 Wonderful sofa
 pretty french chair
let's go a little mid century
 ballerina ties always make me smile
 I've wanted a butterfly wing chair for ages and this one has just the right shape.
 mid century again
 and again
 Yes, you've seen this somewhere else in the pages of a high end furniture store.
Most of this is the same as you see in "those" catalogs but for less.
 Love this console
 And this mid century inspired console is really fab!
This piece is inspired by a hotel desk! It's delightful!

 Here you go...the perfect daybed for day dreams.
 Nice kitchen island.
 industrial lights

 We all saw this on American Horror Story last season in the kitchen.
 Another great sideboard
 Who can resist a chesterfield sofa like this?
 industrial barstool that can be wound up to any height
 wonderful tables galore!



 And a fantastic industrial cart. 

Isn't all this stuff amazing? 
If you are looking for things like this in and around Oklahoma City, 
please come visit me at Bob Mills Furniture.


We can ship all over the world too!

New Lamp

Lamplight
I've had a thing for this Aidan Gray lamp for several years.
Alas, it's way out of my budget as all Aidan Gray lamps are.
It's also sold out.

But several months ago I happened upon this lamp at 
It sort of has the same feeling. 
A few days ago I discovered it was on clearance for $34.97.
Last night I found a 25% coupon online, good only till store closing on Wednesday at 9pm. 
 I immediately started calling local stores to find one.
To my delight, I finally found one at Norman and made a quick trip to get it.

But you know what?
I don't really have a spot for it. 
I don't really need a lamp.
I was just obsessed with that Aidan Gray one and now I have a cheap knock off 
that I really don't need.

I'm sure I'll figure out the perfect spot for it eventually.
I hope I don't regret buying it. 

Here are other Aidan Gray lamps I love.



I don't usually buy things I don't need just cause it's a bargain.
Actually, it's my rule not to buy things just cause they are on sale.

Feeling like I shouldn't have bought it today.

Do you have buyer's remorse often?
I usually don't but am having pangs of it today.

Dining Room Inspiration

Today, I finally got a day off from work and I'm making things for my Thanksgiving tablescape.
Hope to show tomorrow.
In the meantime, I thought I'd show some of my favorite dining rooms from my 
That one above is decked out for a sweet little Birthday party. 
I want a birthday party that looks like that. 
That will be my goal for next year.
I'll have to do it for myself but that is ok...I'd love to throw myself a party like that.
I love everything about this room even though it's got lots more wood than I normally go for.
Ok, I might change out the light fixture for a chandelier. Yes, I'd definitely change that out.
A big pretty mirror is always an asset in the dining room.
Wow! I love that table. Isn't it hugely fantastic!
I love how warm this room is.
The chandelier and the rustic china cabinet make this dining room.
Sweet little rosemary topiaries. Love that they have little twig trellises.
Love the wall treatment too.
Why can't I be simple like this?
I've been craving a simplified Xmas decor...
but I know I'll get all my pretty vintage stuff out again this year.
Ok, this is the thing I'm obsessed about currently. 
That bench with slipcover.
I have a long ottoman like that in my office which originally was intended as footstool
and storage but it's just always in the way and I stack stuff on it.
It needs to go and I realized it was just the right height to be used as seating in my dining room.
A quick search of Pinterest and I found some wonderful examples 
of slipcovered ottomans used in dining rooms.
I am so doing this.
Here's another. 
I think it will add a softness to my dining room that the room needs.


Ok, I'm going back to my creating now.
So fun to be home on a beautiful fall day!
