This new series, My Hickory Chair Home, is dedicated to sharing with you amazing rooms that were created with Hickory Chair pieces. The stories may be about the designer's own home or homes that they created for their clients. These inspirational rooms inspire our talented craftsmen to build their skills so that they can offer even greater personalization.
Our first story is dedicated to a HCC University graduate, Kirk Holt. He is the owner of Cisar-Holt, a design firm that he and his late partner, Robert Cisar, began 23 years ago. Published in the January 2010 issue of TulsaPeople.com online magazine, is the home that Kirk and Robert began building in 2006. Kirk completed the home in 2009. As a result of his visit to Hickory Chair, Kirk was inspired to select many pieces for his home. He loved the fact that he could request not only the pieces, but select from over 60 finishes, dozens of nail head trims and hardware selections, over 1,500 stocked fabrics, leather and trims to create one of a kind pieces for his home.

In Kirk's living room, he selected the Made to Measure Gallery Sofa at 84-inches wide and the Vendome Cocktail Table (now retired) from the Thomas O'Brien Collection along with the San Marino Bench by Hickory Chair. The room is fresh and modern feeling with the use of color, accessories and arrangement of pieces. Do you not love how the room is anchored by a really ornately carved traditional mantle and then is surrounded by classic modern pieces?

In Kirk's sitting room, a Regency Oval Writing Table by Mark Hampton was custom finished in a black finish and facing it is a Reading Chair by Mariette Himes Gomez finished in Modern French Grey finish, a Hickory Chair fabric and then was trimmed in two sizes of Black Pearl nail head trim. These classic forms perfectly complement the black mantle with quatrefoil motifs.
