Showcase Spring 2011

Adding metallic finishes to raw and reclaimed woods creates a sophisticated yet natural aesthetic perfect for the High Country home. Topping a rustic piece with silver or gold veneer is increasingly popular and allows designers to mix styles together seamlessly.

"Mixing nature with a touch of glam is fun," says Yvonne Jacobs of Slifer Designs, who culled the store for this Showcase collection. Well established in the Vail Valley, Slifer Designs is scheduled to open a second location in Denver's Cherry Creek this June.

All items shown are available at the Slifer showroom in Edwards. Find them online at www.sliferdesigns.com.
