One of our most popular items are these 1500mm table and bench sets. While small they can comfortably seat eight people: three on each bench and a chair at each end. People snap them up for their terraces and semis, for their outdoor areas or to bring a bit of warmth and earthiness into a modern apartment environment.

This setting has a slightly more distressed finish in Arsenic Green over Royal Blue: you can order one in whatever colour you like and with a slightly more dressed finish if you prefer.

This is the last of the four items that are headed to our customers on the Central Coast: a 2400mm x 900mm dining table with metal riveted Santa Fe style corner detail and a centre medallion on the side rails. It's final resting place in the home is on polished concrete floors and in our experience, as much as we love colour, we find the warmth and organic feel of natural timber provides a beautiful juxtaposition to the cold, clinical feel of concrete. Bringing warmth and soul into the space, it's rustic appearance makes you feel relaxed in its presence. The more it's used and abused, the better it will look (let's face it, you're more attached to your oldest pair of jeans than you are to the ones you've just purchased...our tables are the same, you become as attached to them as your favourite pair of jeans except that your table lasts forever WE GUARANTEE IT!).

This is the third piece for our customers on the Central Coast. It's a low line entertainment unit based on our Sacred Heart Cabinet that is on the shop floor. It's not quite as high so as it fits under a wall mounted TV and with decorative floral embossed glass in the centre doors that will allow you to use your remote control with the doors shut. Cabling holes have been provided through the floor of the cabinet for the convenience.

The Santa Fe style is not everyone's cup of tea but in the right environment it can look a million dollars. This piece was a custom order for a homesick Hispanic lady who has decked her house out in Adobe Style from top to bottom with rough rendered walls and terra cotta tiles. The starting point for her custom piece was the hand painted sink that she bought in Mexico and she basically gave us free reign to make a vanity around it. We wanted to it to look like it had been part of the sink from the get go so we chose a blue accent colour on the Santa Fe fret work to tie in with the Azure Blue featured in the sink and we made a beautiful wall mounted medicine cabinet with adjustable shelves to match.

While this piece is Santa Fe style give us your brief: Cottage; Tuscan; Provincial; Federation or Contemporary...we do it all.

Don't often get a brief for El Rancho or South Western style furniture but it really blows our skirt up when we do. Got a chance here to use some hand-cast longhorn handles and lone star. I had these cast in 25% nickel; 75% bronze from the originals that were cast iron and that we picked up in Austin, Texas. I went for the nickel and bronze because our customers in Sydney are often near the coast and the cast iron ones would turn to rust pretty pronto. The nickel and bronze will last forever. It was cast by the same people who are contracted to replace all the light fittings on the harbour bridge.

This piece is headed to Kane and Andi who recently moved to Umina on the Central Coast. Keep your eyes peeled for their next piece which is an ornate entertainment unit with a Hispanic flavour featuring some of our copper-beaten sacred hearts inlayed in the doors.

This is the red version of our 'Sleeping Mexican' Cabinet.

Graham and Catherine of Croydon snapped up the green version in our recent sale which had plantation louvres in the doors. This one has verde green decorative beading and the whole cabinet, inside and out, is finished in muted Mexican flag colours. Karl loves this piece which is usually the 'kiss of death' meaning it's a little too 'out there' for the general public but he's happy to be proven wrong. Come visit the showroom and see for yourself. It's 1800mm x 900mm tall x 500mm deep (as usual it can be made in whatever size you require).

Thanks go to Rob for the great photos.
