whimsy

crook-and-cranny cabinet by dust furnitureIf you’re a fan of craft artist Vincent Thomas Leman’s “abstract traditional” style — the heart of the practical yet whimsical Dust Furniture — you won’t want to miss the Etsy outlet for handcrafted “prototypes, web exclusives, extras and sometimes, mistakes…”

Right now, the online shop is showing four gracefully curved tables, three funky clocks, and this fascinating two-part cabinet called “Crook and Cranny”:

This cabinet is comprised of two sections, a taller bookcase portion with shelves for storage or display, and a smaller cabinet section with a door and one interior shelf. The pieces interact with each other in an interesting way, with the taller section resting on the shorter section. The two parts are permanently secured together.

For a look at the fun-loving furniture pieces in regular production, and a list of boutiques and galleries where they’re available, visit www.dustfurniture.com.

Inside-Out Cabinets

If you can’t laugh in the bathroom, where can you? Ideally, of course, we want to sprinkle the whimsy about the whole house, to put the stamp of personality on each and every room. But if that’s a bold move you’re not quite ready to make, and especially if you’re in a temporary home and/or [...]
