The future of memory foam mattresses

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For years, many people have preferred the comfort of a memory foam mattress. Now, Serta has taken the memory foam mattress and kicked it up a notch. While in the past, complaints were raised about memory foam sleeping too hot, or creating too big of an indention to roll over in the night, Serta has introduced the iComfort Sleep System which takes the classic memory foam and infuses it with the support and cooling touch of MicroSupport gel.

 

 

 

 

 Serta feels so confident about their new mattress that they are offering an In-Home 120 Day Risk Free Trial and a 25 year warranty. Come by Contents Interiors today for a demonstration.

Building a Color Scheme

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

Award Winning Comfort & Design

Building a color scheme for furnishing this room began when the clients fell in love with the red sofa and chair combination. Designer Tamara Scott-Anderson helped her clients and friends, Jan & Judith select an area rug that worked to soften the beautiful ocher  colored concrete floors and the room developed from there.  The other new  furnishings included decorative metal and glass occasional tables, a carved wooden book shelf, a sculptural chair made of recycled wood, and a hand  chiseled mantle over the fire place. These furnishings added a visual textural element to the room. Then accent walls were painted gold and red to pull the color scheme though out the adjoining kitchen and dining area. The addition of solar tubes to the living area allows for more day light and a brightened environment.

 

 

 

 

Here Jan relaxes in one of the retro sling chairs that were reupholstered to be included in the seating plan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This project won a first place  award in the 2005 ASID Design Excellence awards.
 Here six years later Judith continues to enjoy the comfort of the red chenille sofa that started it all.

 

 

 

 

Your table’s ready…

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011

We just received two of the most beautiful dining room sets that Contents Interiors has ever had. We are proud to represent the same family of mesquite woodworkers for over 20 years and this latest set is stunning. The Sombra table is 42×60 with 2-12” leaves, cabriolet legs and fluted moldings on the apron. The fluted moldings are repeated on the chairs apron while using the beauty of the mesquite wood for the back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Milpa Wood is used on the Moderno Table that is handcrafted in Mexico. These magnificent Milpa trees are recovered from select areas of Mexico. The trees tend to grow near corn crops and do not allow the local farmers to farm their crops; as a result, they bury them. Some of the trees continue to grow underground and after many years, some feature burled areas-natural tumors near or on the roots of the trees. Highly sought after and incredibly exclusive, Milpa Burl is the utmost in luxury. The matching buffet features Milpa Burl, Ebony and Chechen (also known as Caribbean Rosewood).

 

 

 

 

IIf you are looking for a more rustic look, this buffet will give you lots of storage and the look you desire. Crafted from old doors with iron hardware, this cabinet measures 82” long.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Montana Pine Tables

Michael Osburn retired as an architect and started Woodshed Production to design and handcraft interesting and unique home furnishings and home décor. Contents Interiors is proud to carry this line of tables crafted from salvaged Mountain Pine Beetle killed Montana Ponderosa Pine. Michael travels from his home in Washington State to the Oro Fino Gulch area, south of Helena Montana, to gather this special wood for his creations. He skillfully leaves the live edge to showcase the imperfections and natural features of the wood. The tops are treated with 1 coat of MinWax Tung Oil (to pop the grain) and 3 coats of MinWax Polyurethane to create this beautiful water resistant finish.
