Maitland for Women

Last week we talked about "Maitland for Men," with emphasis on the "man cave."   Just as a man enjoys his dedicated space, so does the lady of the house. 

Most women love a cozy place to get away from it all to curl up and read.  Perhaps starting a novel by a favorite author, or simply  flipping through the latest issue of Elle Decor, can help to take away the stress of the day. With all the responsibilities of the job and home, women need a little "me" time to recharge and rejuvenate.  A comfortable chaise, good light, and a table within reach are all that are necessary for this special "oasis."

Let's start with a comfortable chaise - This mahogany chaise lounge will make you feel like royalty.  It is upholstered with luxurious, soft, tufted leather with nail head trim, and the leaf decoration on the sides is hand carved. 

Find this chaise in the corner of the bedroom, grab a cup of tea or glass of wine and your favorite magazine -- and the cares of the day will roll away.

If you prefer a more feminine look, perhaps a fabric upholstered chaise will better suit your style.  This one has been customized through our "ONE, Singularly Crafted for You" program.  The fabric is beige faille with a geometric black velvet swirl, which gives a modern twist to a classic form. 

The man cave blog featured a leather, masculine wing chair next to the fireplace in the library as a perfect spot for a man's hideaway.  This same wing chair can be customized resulting in a completely different look using a light finish and beige and white geometric fabric. 

With Maitland-Smith customization, you can create and design your fine home furnishings exactly the way you want them.  With the Design Express upholstery program, your piece can be shipped to you in as little as four weeks.  The   "ONE, Singularly Crafted for You"  customization program, features customizable casegoods as well as upholstery with your selection from over 100 options including exotic materials and extravagant inlays, hand tooled accents, and elegant embellishments.

Maitland for Men

Let's face it.  Men and women are different.  The book, "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" put into words what we already knew.

Men love to have a space that is just for them --  An escape for their sports viewing, game playing and just getting together with the guys.  The term, "man cave" was recently coined to describe a dedicated space for the man of the house.  The term, "cave," gives the idea that the space is definitely masculine and can be rudimentary, but it doesn't have to be. 

We know it's not fair to attempt to put all men into the same category.  Not all men are sports enthusiasts, but they still love their space. 

For the man who loves to read and enjoy a quiet space alone, a comfortable wing chair, side table and good lighting are just what the doctor ordered.  This cigar-smoking crocodile stands ready to assist in holding the favorite beverage. 

 For the card players, a well-suited "man cave" must have a great card table with comfortable chairs.  Our Texas holdem table was featured on a blog dated June 1.   

If pool is the game of choice, take a look at this gorgeous, extraordinary Maitland-Smith mahogany pool table.  Tournament size, it has extra heavy frame construction with best quality, three piece slate 1-1/8" thick, and wide rails inlaid with mother of pearl diamonds.  Black leather is inlaid over the mahogany and the table is finished with brass accents.  Pockets are leather and Simonis cloth on the playing surface gives accuracy and precison.   This table is made with the same attention to detail as our other fine furniture. 

If pool isn't the game of preference, and space is a consideration, perhaps a foosball table will be just the thing to stir up a little competition. This one is unique.  The players in Maitland-Smith whimisical fashion are lions and monkeys.  Who could resist a rousing game between these opponents?

These are just a few of the fine-quality gaming items from Maitland-Smith that are suitable for the "man cave" in your home.   Visit our website at www.maitland-smith.com to see the wide selection of game and card tables, barstools, flat screen TV cabinets and accessories that are certain to create the perfect hideaway.
