Stone Furniture for Indoors

Stone Furniture not Only for Outdoors
 
  



Love stone furniture but thought it was only good for outdoors?

Then you will be surprised to know that stone furniture has many uses indoors! Bring the natural beauty of Mother Nature inside your home with a borent types of stone furniture. Stone is already being used inside for counters, fireplaces, showers and flooring, but you can continue the look of stone with a variety of home furnishings.
 
The most commonly interior stone furniture is the table. Coffee tables, dining tables, end tables, hallway tables or small side tables can be used through out the home. Stone adds a touch of sophistication and elegance to any room and a beautiful stone table can be the perfect focal point in a room. Stone is easy to maintain and durable providing years of beauty, it stays virtually unchanged.

Another way to use stone furniture in your interior is with custom bar stools. They can even be made to match your existing counter tops. Bar stools can swivel which is an advantage for bars because they turn in either direction saving valuable bar space. There are many variations of these rotating stools. They come in a variety of stone colors and frames can be custom powder coated. Bar stools can be ordered with or without backs.

A simpler stone stool can be placed in any area of your house in place of a wood stool.
 
Is your shower area lined in stone, why not add a stone bench for comfort and relaxation and a touch a class?   

Even incorporate stone furniture into the office. A large conference table made of polished stone with leather chairs gives a look of distinction and commands respect. Make your work space more inviting with a desk that has a beautiful polished stone top. This is always inviting to work on.

No matter how you use stone furniture in your house one thing is for sure, you cannot go wrong with the beauty and longevity of stone furniture. To see more photos of ways to use stone furniture on your interior go to  click here.

Spring in January?

Its only January, and I just got my first gardening catalog in the mail! It made me think, and Spring is really not that far away. On that note, its NOT too early for me to start building orders for spring, as it is now I am out until March. So if you would like custom built stone furniture in time for spring, let me know. 

I have white stone furniture for HOT areas, this reflects the sunlight and does not get hot!
Let me know if you are interested!

Where does stone furniture come from?

Arkins Park Colorado Quarry 

We use a lot of stone that is native to Colorado. You may be wondering where we acquire our stone. The Colorado Buff and Red Flagstone come from  a local quarry right here in Loveland. The stone is in natural slabs on the ground and the quarry extracts it from its location.
 
They are able to find pieces large enough to furnish our dining sets and smaller pieces to make chairs.  A rock quarry is one type of mine not located underground. The quarry is usually in an area known to be abundant in particular rocks or formations of rocks. The terms "rock quarry" and "gravel pit" are often confused or used interchangeably.

Mining of most rocks is for use in construction projects. Rock quarries are located around the globe. A quarry usually has a heavy concentration of one particular type of rock like limestone, slate, granite or marble.

New Product! Saddle Table

Here is my  latest creation, its a western themed cocktail table. Put a couple of barstools next to this and you have the perfect setting to enjoy a drink. Each table is unique, as no two saddles are the same and the frame is custom made to fit the saddle.

Maybe you have an old saddle laying around that you just don't want to part with? Don't let it collect dust! It can be a showcase piece in your house. You can order just the base and use your own saddle. The top is a 36" round glass. Stands at 41"



Table with saddle $1800.00

Without saddle $1400.00

Loveland Art Festival

This past weekend we exhibited at the world famous Loveland Sculpture Invitational Show. If you have never had the chance to attend it's a fabulous show for 3 dimensional art. Right here in our backyard we have the largest sculpture show in the United States. Lots of people got to experience the furniture, and it was perceived wonderfully! We heard a lot of comments like, "It really is comfortable, its more comfortable than it looks, and this is better than the furniture I have at home." 

And of course the horse is building fame as he travels from show to show. Thousands of people took his photo and commented on how everything is so much better in person. All in all it was a successful show and we hope to exhibit again next year.

Check out this slide show from The Reported Herald newspaper in Loveland, CO.
Our girls Riely & Cailey Cranford made it into the paper.
