I've been noticing more people requesting the "coastal/island style," especially for their bedrooms. This style is no longer for the coastal regions of the US. It has universal appeal and works in a multitude of homes. There are fantastic options available at several price points right now--too many to show in one blog! BUT, I've mentioned a few bedroom options below for your viewing pleasure. :)
Stanley Furniture has introduced the new "Coastal Living" collection, which has 14 fabulous finishes in Sea Glass, Americana, and Pastel tones. I love the soothing tones of the sea grass. Doesn't it just make you feel relaxed and care free? To view the entire collection, visit www.StanleyFurniture.com.
Lexington has blended the island style with oversized accents to give a modern flair to their island collections. Long Cove, available in shell white and midnight (espresso with cherry undertones), combines traditional detailing with larger proportions.
The newest Tommy Bahama collection from Lexington, called "Kingstown," continues this generous scale in their Malabar Panel Bed. Tommy Bahama is the epitome of living in island style. The unique finish of Kingstown is a multi-layer application. Mustard and brick red painted underlayers peek through the deep chocolate glaze. The picture above doesn't do it justice--you've got to come by to see this bed in person! There are also some adorable accent pieces in gorgeous animal hides including a fantastic zebra bench. To view the entire collection, go to www.lexington.com.
Vaughan-Bassett has taken their island style collection a bit more transitional with the "Passages" collection. This company is more well-known for its traditional country style, but they've branched out in a few of their newer collections. "Passages" is understaded with simpler lines, but fantastic style. There's also a shutter bed in this collection. To view the entire line, go to the website www.vaughan-bassett.com.
I would love to help you create a restful haven that reflects the relaxed island style. It's fitting for any region in any home. If you'd like my assistance, please contact me at the store at 480-892-0174 or by e-mail at ShastaI@norwoodfurniture.com. Stay cool this summer!

The Tommy Bahama collection from Lexington is beautiful...love the color of the dark wood and the syles...a mix of contemporary and an old world charm.

Tommy Bahama has an Italian look set up to it that makes it look amazing. Would love to see more of it.
