BAR CABINET EVOKES CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD: We were struck by the simple elegance of this walnut and leather cabinet piece conceived by contemporary design figurehead John Mascheroni and sold through Jeffco Furniture, the 3- decades-old luxury manufacturer inspired by a classic aesthetic. (Jeffco also produces the Park Avenue-meets-The Tropics look of the J. Peterman Collection.) This bar features adjustable glass shelves and a mirrored back and is available in black or brown leather. It sells for $3,765 at jeffcofurniture.com. The company also distributes locally through Howard Lorton Galleries (12 East 12th Ave., 303-831-1212) or Whitney Evans Ltd. (595 S. Broadway, 303-777-1886).
BAKER NEIGHBORHOOD EMBRACES ASIAN-DECOR OUTPOST: Urbanites might have missed T-trove, the homegrown, home store packed with Asian gifts and furnishings, were it not for the second store that opened late last year at 189 S. Broadway. The converted warehouse boasts a peaceful abundance of furniture, both new and antique, along with cookbooks, garden supplies, hand-painted calligraphy works, candles, ceramics and lucky bamboo. Custom Asian furniture also is available through T- trove, which operates another location in Lone Tree at 8353 S. Willow St.
PAINTING TOOL FOR SPEEDY TOUCH-UPS: Scuffed and scratched walls could be a thing of the past with the Qwikie, a new painting tool designed to make touch-ups fast and easy by combining a small paint container with a built-in brush and paint wiper. After touch-ups are finished, the Qwikie’s airtight container keeps the brush and paint ready for the next job. The Qwikie is available at Sherwin Williams, ACE and True Value stores.
