If you are on my Facebook page (and I hope you are ? The Color Whisperer), you will see the occasional post with the comment
?Wood Lust.? Well, let?s face it furniture IS sexy! And shouldn?t you be excited by the pieces around you?
Okay, so looking at a picture of a hot girl or guy may have it?s momentary thrills, but the furniture you surround yourself with every day should have much more long lasting affects.
So what is ?Wood Lust??You know that feeling you get when you see your favorite music or film star? There?s a bit of swoon in the pit of your stomach and it?s followed by a tingle of excitement.
Does your furniture make you feel that way? It should.
As an interior designer, it?s one of the dangers of the job? I?ll be watching TV and have to hit rewind, not to hear what someone said, but to check out a chair or some molding.
Why surround yourself with pieces you don?t love? Your relationship with your furniture may start out as lust but it should lead to a lasting loving relationship. As you clean it, as you learn to see more depth in the finish and the design and see the beauty that continues to flow from it every day, it?s there for you and is dependable and continues to grow in beauty.
Why settle for ?blah? when you can have Beautiful? I see people make high demands of their cars, clothes and accessories and then settle for blah in their homes. There?s no need, it?s just as important as all those other things.
Now this piece is metal but certainly falls under the category of LOVE. My client fell head over heels in love with this little metal table. The color, texture and rivulets really spoke to her and it really does make the room.

There?s so many options with wood. This week I went to a molding store and saw all kinds of gorgeous wood accents. Imagine creating that perfect piece with unique elements.
I also love pieces with unexpected surprises or uses, like hidden drawers, compartments etc.
So I may be a little over the top but furniture IS sexy and it?s around you all the time. Home is where the heart is and everything in it should warm your heart. So if you don?t love your furniture, you may want to think about falling in love. It?s fun. When was the last time you fell in love?
