Metallic finishes have been popular for a few years. Gold and copper along with silver are not just used on casegoods, but also in textiles as well as rugs.
Metal lends an air of luxury, and both shiny and subdued metal looks have been predicted for this year. Pictured here is ACG Green’s Milano bedding with metallic accents.

Print This Post Wild Knight, Scottsdale’s newest nightlife extravaganza, is officially opened for all. After one full week of soft openings, including visits from VIP’s, family and friends and media, this luxurious Scottsdale hot spot is ready to rock and roll, full speed ahead.
After a short but sweet experience inside, it can be said, without effort, that Wild Knight will quickly ascend the hierarchy of the Scottsdale nightspots. Yes, it seems that Wild Knight is here to stay. Contrary to popular belief, this is not a “members only” or “invite only” club, but rather a swanky spot for a high-class enjoyment. (Last night they had visits from Ice T and Coco and later from Nik Richie and Shayne Lamas.)
No flash photography is allowed but I can verify Wild Knight radiates with vibes of sexiness. Expect red leather, elaborate furniture, mirrored walls and a white canopied ceiling. Wild Knight is not a restaurant, not a happy hour bar and not a lounge. They are proud to be a club; a club that encourages bottle service for a more intimate evening filled with decadence. Thursday, Friday and Saturdays they open at 9pm and table reservations begin at 10pm. No food, just cocktails, and very good ones. They have an array of specialty drinks made with Pinnacle Whipped Vodka. It was my first, not last, encounter with such concoctions. If you prefer tequila, they are partial to Luna Malvada. Also a first for me, it’s a smooth tequila with a kick. No salt, but served with a lime. One more exclusivity is their six liter bottle of Dom Perignon. Why even bother purchasing a few bottles when you can indulge in Arizona’s largest bottle of champagne heaven?
Wild Knight has incorporated some ultra-posh yet convenient amenities into their sophisticated setting. Guests who have bottle service can relax a little more knowing that drawers are hidden under the couches, allowing the ladies to safely tuck their clutches away for the night. Your reserved table also allows you the privilege of being personally escorted by one of the many security guards to the private bathroom (only for guests with bottle service.) I was also told the bathroom attendants may soon start selling flip-flops for the girls who want to dance sans stilettos! Also noteworthy is their stance on opting for stylish Apple iPad’s rather than boring old menus.
Wild Knight is dedicated to maintaining a friendly and accommodating staff, giving all visitors an ultra- personalized experience. They are also committed to raising the bar in industry standards. I believe this, and I expect to see Wild Knight consistently evolving to incorporate cutting-edge amenities and state-of-the-art technology.
