This is the second issue of My Hickory Chair Home, an ongoing feature that will profile great residential installations of homes shared with us by either a designer or from a publication. Today's feature profiles Barbara Moore, owner of B. Moore Design and B Home Design Showroom. She was featured in today's online issue of Decorati Access - Interior Design Blog in an article named The Textured Life. In this article, Barbara is interviewed about her background and her objectives as she works with her clients. She loves beginning with a classic, architectural space that she can then layer with textures created with art, furniture, color and textiles to create a fresh, modern space. We are thankful that she turns to Hickory Chair as she selects pieces for her clients.

In this issue of Decorati, several of her projects are shown. In a Brooklyn Heights residential project, Barbara selected the Joseph Side Chairs from the Alexa Hampton Collection. These Regency inspired chairs add architectural form and softness with their rolled back and saber legs.

If you go to Barbara's portfolio on Decorati's site, you will see installations for other clients. In key rooms of each project she has carefully selected Hickory Chair pieces. For this family in Saratoga, NY, Barbara chose the Left Bank Bed by Hickory Chair. With its upholstered head and foot boards and warm stained finish it is inviting and comfortable. The great thing about the Left Bank Bed is that it is actually a four poster bed that has removeable posts. This family did not need the posts for this room but if they move it to a different room or home they have the flexibilty to use it either way!

For a client in Brooklyn Heights, Barbara selected several items for the master bedroom. Shown to the left of the magnificent mantle is the Stephanie Vanity and Sue Ellen Chair from the Alexa Hampton Collection. The Stephanie Vanity is shown open with the mirror revealed in the center of the desk. A removeable jewelry tray would allow the Stephanie Vanity to become desk as well. In the foreground at the foot of the bed is the Wyland Storage Ottoman. We would imagine that Barbara chose the Wyland not only due to its classic form and scale but also due to its great storage capabilities.

The bedroom shown below is from another Brooklyn Heights bedroom. In this smaller bedroom, Barbara chose the Chelsea Bed from the Thomas O'Brien Collection. She used a neutral textured fabric with nail head trim and a white finish to pull together this luxurious bed. [Did you know that this bed was used in the master bedroom in the movie "Something's Gotta Give"? ]
