We don't care that Kate Sanger is in the UK, we're blogging her anyway. What is it about the Brits that they make the coziest bedrooms? And how many women do you know that design awesome wood furniture like this and below?
We found Kate Sanger on one of our errant Google image searches (in which we never avoid looking up wierd, interesting stuff and stay focused on the job at hand).
While we don't know much, Kate's furniture designs consists of beds, cabinets, tables and benches - every one of which is simple, beautiful and finely, finely crafted. We particularly like her English Oak Bed, pictured above.
Kate can be reached at kate_sanger@hotmail.com as well as at 44 1983 756202, and we wish her all the best!

love the furniture, but cozy does not come to mind; monastic & minimalist, maybe.
Partick,
That's exactly what I was thinking! It makes Shaker furniture look downright frilly in comparison.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems like the Emperor's New Clothes to me. Not much that is special about these designs.
The top bed is very John Pawson-esque -- and I love it.
The fact that someone actually made these (simple as they are) available for others - instead of just fantasizing about making them - is very special.
Wow, her work is stunning! Understated well-made furniture like this is next to impossible to find.
If it looks monastic here maybe it's because the pictures are meant to capture the furniture itself and not the interior decor of the home.
Is that bottom tear-drop thing a hammock/bed thing? Now THAT looks kind of fun.
Okay, I get what you're saying about the monastic, spartan style, but I find this kind of simple furniture in rich, live woods very hearty and warm. Even the top bed, with its thick frame seems juicy to me. It's the pictures that are truly spartan. Put these into your room and they'll absolutely sing.
