Design The Space Now Offering Unique Stacked-Stone Fireplace Facings in Slate and Quartzite

As part of our ongoing product improvement and selection program, DesignTheSpace had once again added to its offering of fireplace stone surround facing kits with the introduction of two stacked stone kits.  Offered in a choice of two colors, a Multi-colored slate or a Carden Gold quartzite,  there are also two sizes, one for most 36" and one for 42" fireboxes.  These kits are manufactured into panels, with a header, two legs and include a three-piece hearth.  Risers panels are also available.  Because the stacking of the stones is already done ... the installation is quick and simple.  Cut these panels with a wet saw to custom fit, and install them with construction adesive.  Additonal panels are available to face the ends and front of a raised hearth platform, as well!   Contact DesignTheSpace for details.

Rustic Luxe is the latest decorating theme incorporating rustic design elements along with a few luxurious accessories or furnishings thrown into the mix!

 

Our Rustic Cedar shelf includes corbel brackets (unattached) and is available in a rough sawn, or a smoothly sanded surface. Smooth finish shown here

If you have a passion for things rustic and comfortable yet plush and sophisticated, the latest design style settling in across the United States may be right down your lane.  Design The Space offerings include many period and contemporary architectural elements and finishes to help you convert a lackluster, aged-space into (or, build an entirely new grouping of rooms with) a 'rustic luxe - urious' comfortable-ness for you and yours to enjoy.

The image to the left features our Western Red Cedar rustic mantel and corbel brackets accessorized with a few simple but classy botanicals and two framed prints from the local art museum gift shop (always a great source for unique accessories and gifts!).  A true reflection of rustic luxe design principles. Also featured is our Western Red Cedar plywood paneling which beautifully coordinates with the rustic luxe theme.

Classic Rustic Distressed Maple Wainscot Panel Finish Kits - A rustic luxe look

 

New England Classic® Classic Rustic® offered by DesignTheSpace provides a completely different look with this hand-scraped maple wainscot paneling, featuring distressed wood formerly seen in hunting lodges, country inns, game rooms and vacation homes, it now is central to a rustic luxe theme in a modern home. Crafted with pillow-edged rails, chair-rails and panels, each component is meticulously hand scraped, carved and finished to portray a rugged timeless beauty. Classic Rustic® rustic luxe components are packaged for convenient handling and installation.  The tongue and groove planks are 5" wide (with 4 3/4" exposed) and PanelSets® are available in two heights.  Each kit also includes a FramePak® consisting of top cap trim, one top and one bottom rail and one shoe molding. The completed installation has a top rail finished height of either 36” or 44”.

 

 

 

The Bellemy mantel shelf will has clean lines and corbel brackets.  A transitional style for almost any room.

Our beautifully hand crafted, built to order mantel shelves are available in custom as well as standard sizes and will add special character to your home.  Wood selections for most include walnut, mahogany, cherry, maple and oak for a beautiful stained look, or purchase the shelf in a paint grade poplar, for any of our painted or glazed finishes.  We offer factory finishing as well as unfinished product, for you to finish once you receive the shelf.

The Bellemy Shelf with its simple, clean rectangular lines and large solid wood corbel brackets is right at home in a Rustic Luxe room renovation.  Remember, too, as shown at the left, that our mantel shelves are not just for fireplaces; they can be a perfect resting spot for some of your favorite accessory keepsake items, photos, vases and more nearly any place you have space on a wall.

Like all of our shelves, the Bellemy incorporates a hidden mounting strip that attaches to the wall.  With the strip secured, position the open back of the mantel shelf in place over the mounting strip, then drill small holes through the top of the shelf, into the mounting strip.  Secure the shelf in place with small finishing nails.  You can use construction adhesive to attach the solid wood corbels in a position of your choosing.  If they are attached securely to the wall, they will lend some added strength to the shelf-to-wall application, but are designed to be decorative.

Add a touch of Rustic Luxe to your rustic styling to create a pulled together look your family will enjoy for years ... a step up from Shabby Chic styling so popular in the last few years.  If you have a unique situation, needing an L-shaped or U-shaped, wrap-a-round shelf, contact us today!

Design The Space Now Includes Microban® Protection In Paint and Stain FinishesMantels and Wainscoting with Microban

 

(Florence, May 4, 2012) – Design The Space has raised the bar again for quality finishes on wood mantels, shelves, chair rails, moldings, and wainscoting paneling by partnering with Microban International, the global leader in built-in antimicrobial protection.  Design The Space wood products with factory finishes incorporate Microban® antimicrobial product protection which works continuously to inhibit the growth of bacteria that can cause stain, odor, discoloration and deterioration of painted and stained surfaces. 

Bacteria can double every 20 minutes on surfaces not protected with Microban.  Microban antimicrobial technology works to inhibit the growth of odor and stain-causing bacteria, making it ideal for wood products, wherever cleanliness is a priority.  As important, this added level of protection helps to extend the longevity, integrity and appearance of coated surfaces, as well.   And unlike surface disinfectants which temporarily eliminate microbes, Microban® technology works 24/7 and it never has to be reapplied and won’t wash off or wear away.  It continues to provide protection for the life of the coating. 

Microban® technologies have undergone extensive independent laboratory testing and have a long history of safe use.  Microban International is partnered with more than 150 leading companies and Microban® antimicrobial technologies can be found in more than 750 products.
