The Strength + Beauty of the Urban Industrial LifeStyle

Strength + beauty. For the love of urban industrial, comes a dichotomous blend of utilitarian metal designs and the beauty of raw steel & iron finishes. For the hard-core industrial vibe, choose vintage medicine cabinets, adjustable industrial cast iron tables with glass or marble tops, and for the true industrialist ~ concrete seating. What more could you want for your urban cool, urban industrial lifestyle? [lifestyle photo by gary heller photography].

  12. I'm liking the marble and iron table. Cutting edge traditional . . . You'd love a new store I've heard about in Houston. I think it's called Installations. French industrialist chic. I haven't been to it yet.....Have a nice weekend, -susan
