Fireside Living
Love yourself a versatile credenza to spruce up a room? What is a credenza anyway, and what’s it for? Is it a cabinet? A desk? A cabinet? The original purpose of a credenza was to display expensive plates and serving vessels, as well as for food preparation. The purpose has changed somewhat in modern times, but the credenza continues to be a staple in households everywhere, ideal for today’s homeowners who need items that combine form and function with plenty of versatility. And while credenzas were intended as dining room furniture, don’t limit yourself. Nowadays, they are used all over the home including your living room and family rooms as a base for your television, in the office as an extra workspace or as a terrific dry bar with decanter, assorted liquors, pretty tray and barware and accessories. Discover an array of timeless designs, styles and finishes of credenzas, sideboards and buffets at Crate & Barrel . Their Breckenridge dining collection updates classic farmhouse style with clean lines and modern details. Made of solid hardwoods and showcasing the lovely grain of oak veneer, the 78” Weathered Rustic Oak Wood Credenza features a bullnose-edged top, substantial cylindrical legs and a mix of open and closed storage. Wire brushing and a weathered grey- brown finish add just the right amount of rustic while calling out the grain, knots and marks unique to each credenza. Design tip: if you place against a wall, adding an oversized mirror as pictured here or artwork is a great way to anchor the piece. crateandbarrel.com
