Bernhardt and Mark Sunderland Interiors!!!!

When you're perusing your decorating magazines this Summer, you'll see THIS new National Ad from Bernhardt.

HOW COOL is that TREMONT chair???? ....something NEW from Bernhardt Interiors.

And that Silver-Leaf-Nightstand from the Salon Collection? Sleek and sophisticated, I'd say!

My Bernhardt clients know how much I LOVE selling Bernhardt; perhaps I could propose something NEW for that room you've had on the "back-burner."

As always, just message me: mark@msunderland.com for prices of either these OR that Bernhardt sofa, end-tables, and coffee-table you might find on your own as you scan through Bernhardt's easy-to-use website.

I'll be happy to send you a small selection of fabrics in YOUR colour-story.

SUMMER is the BEST time to order new furniture for your home (but you knew that, right?).

I look forward to hearing from many of you. Please share your thoughts what new pieces you might need this Summer.

Keep Calm and Think Bernhardt!

Before and After; A Master Bedroom Desk

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile; HIGH pollen in the ATL had me down a few days, then I had my monthly show at Scott's Antique Market.

This week's blog is simply a recent Before and After for a wonderful client who was upgrading her Master Bedroom.  She had a nice desk, but her new bedroom furniture was more transitional, so I searched for the PERFECT desk and desk chair for a woman that wanted a more-feminine look.  Here's what she had (we moved it to a different room in her home for her daughter to use) BEFORE:

Here's what I found at Baker Knapp & Tubbs,...a WONDERFUL cream-lacquered ladies' desk (which has JEWELERY DRAWERS on the top-left and top-right drawers) from the Barbara Barry Collection.  The oval-back side chair is a personal-favourite of mine; also from Barbara Barry.  Here's the AFTER:

Nice, eh?

And HERE is a photo of the new desk and desk chair,...and how it compliments the rest of my client's Sophisticated and Feminine Master Bedroom.  The bench at the bottom of her new bed came from A. RUDIN, which I found at Ernest Gaspard and Associates at ADAC (with Audrey's help, of course!).  We selected a great ivory leather.  .....and the tall mirror on the wall came from BERNHARDT; Chris Ford, my furniture-tech and installer, professionally-hanged it on the wall right-outside my client's walk-in closet.

I was very happy with the completed Look, and my client was very pleased!

Keep Calm and Relax in Your New Bedroom!

the adventures of tartanscot

My blog this time is, in fact, a "borrowed blog" from Scot Meecham Wood, an Über-Talented interior designer from San Francisco.  Scot has, in my opinion, one of the BEST blogs out-there for the Interior Design community.

As many of you know, I could not attend High Point Furniture Market earlier this year, as I was in Asheville, North Carolina on an important installation with wonderful clients.

Bernhardt is one of my FAVOURITE lines of furniture to spec, propose, and SELL my clients who want affordable, well-made furniture for their homes. They really have their finger on the pulse of this industry,....AND the Economy.......

I already have a client (or 2) in mind for that WONDERFUL chest of drawers covered in linen and decorative nailheads that Scot shows in his blog.

I thank Scot Meecham Wood for showing me (and my audience) Bernhardt's newest introductions from High Point.  

I look forward to hearing from clients who might like that chest,......or any of the other new-introductions from Bernhardt.  Dimensions and prices upon request.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, Bernhardt Furniture!  .....and might I add that they have some of the BEST customer-service offered in the Industry!

Enjoy!

.....Mark.
