EASY PIECES: PALM BEACH STYLE AT C. BELL

Sometimes only the classics will do. These tried and true pieces loop back into design awareness every ten years or so, but they always have a place in traditional interiors. If you are looking to add a bit of polish and pieces with poise to you interior, there are a few key pieces Christine Bell is creating that I think you might like. With classic vintage appeal and a fresh coat of paint, these reproductions have style by the mile.  West Palm Beach's C. Bell has just launched a small collection, seen here.  Certain pieces have a back order time, but your clients will be happy to wait if it is the perfect piece, right?!

With elaborate details and carving, The Chippendale Side Chair has sufficient ornamentation to light up a room. I prefer solid upholstery on it as there is a lot going on already.

For a showstopper, lacquer red provides POW.

More designers are using the Elkins Style Loop Chair as a side chair in a seating arrangement. This one can come in any color, so go to town!

A true classic, the Cockpen Chair will always have a place around a sideboard, and pulled up to the dining room table.

I love etageres. This one can hold a lot with it's sturdy shelves.

A custom pedestal table with a ball base makes a perfect dining room table in a small space.

If your current bookcases are overflowing, try this Chinoiserie cabinet out, you can display objects and books equally well.

 This bed has got it together- so chic, each side feels like it has its own roof.
