Well, it looks like we missed the end of January by one day to post this blog, but that's okay. Even though our Lake of the Ozarks luxury furniture store is tying this into the series in honor of the many faces of January (Get a Balanced Life Month, Get Organized Month, and this week's topic, Creativity Month) the concept works perfectly well on a daily basis, not just one month out of the year. The furniture and home decor that you find at John Elliott Interiors needs to be functional and comfortable, but you inject your personality into the design when at least a few pieces in your home show off your creative side.

Specialty home interiors not only bring beauty and a fun aspect into your home, but they are also excellent focal pieces and conversation starters. They can be unique items that nobody would expect to see that shows off a bit of your personality. The creativity may come from the hand of a craftsman that meticulously made the item by hand with close attention to details.

The idea is to step out of the ordinary and find a piece that gives the room a little extra something special that also brings a smile to your face. Here are a few examples of unique pieces that have made it into the showroom at our Lake of the Ozark home interiors store. 

Nature's Beauty
It's not unusual to make furniture out of wood, but you don't normally see that wood used in its original form. A very creative furniture maker was able to see the natural beauty in these pieces of wood. Instead of being cut up to use, it was transformed as-is into functional pieces of furniture that are truly one-of-a-kind.


Buckle Up!
The bright orange color of this interesting chair and ottoman draw your attention first, then you notice the compelling pattern. What type of fabric could possibly make this pattern? Believe it or not, seatbelts! The amazing creator of this fantastic set took something you would not normally use to create furniture with and turned it into home decor that is not only creative but extremely comfortable too. 


A Home for Your Bar
Little kids play with dollhouses, but when you get into more "grown-up" things, you don't have to stop enjoying the items from your childhood. They just need to grow along with you. For instance, rather than storing dolls inside this exquisite house, it's made to keep your bar items tucked away. A wonderful "barhouse" for adult playtime!


From Jacket to Seating
Here is another amazing piece of furniture made from a material that started out as something else entirely. The fantastic textures, colors, and style of a Bomber Jacket have been turned into comfortable and inviting seating for your home.
 

From "Trash" to Treasure
Here is a great example of the eclectic artwork you will find inside our Lake of the Ozarks furniture showroom. We carry just about every style imaginable to fit a wide variety of tastes. This particular piece took some very creative thinking to look at a pile of empty paint cans and say, "Hey, I can make art out of that!" It's colorful, the mirror makes it useful, and it's most definitely a statement piece for the home of the person that was lucky enough to snatch this beauty up!


That's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the creatively unique and beautiful items you will find inside the showroom at John Elliott Interiors. New pieces are added often, and many items get grabbed up quickly when they arrive. Every single time you visit, you are bound to see something new that will catch your eye and make you want to take it home!
