Upholstered Headboards : Custom Bedding

Cory — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:41:15 +0000

Upholstered headboards are back and more popular than ever.

The styles range from funky to formal, contemporary to elegant. The shapes, fabric choices and upholstery methods are numerous and exciting to see. Upholstered headboards fit well into modern and uncluttered decor but are also right at home in a traditional room.

The beauty of upholstered headboards is obvious, it just feels good to sit against padded upholstery and fabric offers texture, pattern and color, all things that make a room inviting.

Woven Woods: Bring Nature’s Beauty Indoors

Cory — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:21:12 +0000

Natural woven wood shades are hand-woven and are relatively environmentally friendly. They come in a variety of materials: woods, bamboos, weeds, and grasses which can compliment a wide variety of decorating styles.

The grasses are generously loomed and are soft and flowing with an exotic, modern-feel.

The bamboo and reeds bring nature to its elegant best with a tropical flair, while the matchstick’s tightly woven, uniform construction gives a more formal look.

If something truly unique and eye-catching is your forte, consider a combination. These shades are intricately woven by using two or more natural materials in stunning patterns.

The color range of woven woods is naturally beautiful from creamy whites to luxuriant ebonies, and almost everything in between, including all hues of browns, gold, oranges and greens.

Similar to roman shades, the natural woven woods have a graceful, definitive construction. When in the closed position they feature either a classic flat roman fold or the elegantly looped hobbled fold.

The lift options include the standard cord, on your choice of side, with shade descending. A handy lift option is the top down/bottom up feature especially for bathrooms and bedrooms where privacy is important but sunlight is desired. If you’re dressing a large bay or picture window, a lift worth considering is the continuous cord loop with its heavy-duty clutch and pulley mechanism. Cordless woven woods have just hit the market and not a moment too soon. It’s an excellent safety option where small children or pets are a concern, or if you simply prefer the uncluttered look.

Additional options are privacy or blackout liners and edge binding. Since woven woods naturally have gaps, some more so than others, you’ll want to consider privacy liners. They provide just that – privacy, while allowing a soft glow of light to filter through. A blackout liner is ideal for bedrooms and home theatres. Fabric edge binding comes in matching or contrasting colors, in patterns or solids and, along with giving a finished look, can add lifetime to your shades.

Get ORGANIZED : Clear the clutter in your Home

Cory — Thu, 27 May 2010 22:24:03 +0000

Found these instructions for getting organized and removing the clutter from our rooms…just had to share…

One of the most frequent questions ever asked about organizing is the process. How do you make the decisions to get rid of things?

Here are 5 easy steps:

Set yourself a goal “I am going to sort half this room before bed” or “I’m going to streamline the contents of this one box.”
Figure out broad categories and where you are going sort each category into.
Sort your stuff, moving systemically through the space, and not bouncing back and forth.
Purge what you don’t want.
Stop when you’ve reached your goal.

Use the sorting time to reminisce about the objects — don’t make any decisions at this point. Allow the emotions to come up and clear themselves out so that when it comes to the streamlining stage you are free from the emotional ties and can make more objective decisions about them.

If the idea of sorting overwhelms you, give yourself some early victories and do a walk-through of the space, choosing to remove a few large things that will open up the space quickly.

After sorting:

Take one category and if you can, move it out of the space in which you are working, and into a clear space (like the dining room). This allows you to concentrate on the one category and not have to face the rest all at once.
Ask yourself two questions: Need it? Love it? If you can’t say yes to either then get rid of it. Life is too short to fill out our spaces with things we’re indifferent to.
Take the things you are not going to keep out of the house as quickly as possible. The longer they stay the more likely they will come back into the house.
Give yourself rewards – for example out of fifty childhood books you’ve never reread but have kept for sentimental reasons, keep five and store them in a place of honor where you can see them and appreciate the memories associated with them.

There are two instances in which you stop for the day even if you are not done:

If you find yourself hitting a “brain fog” where nothing makes sense or you find yourself holding on to everything you are reviewing.
If you have hit a manic state and start tossing everything without looking at it.

Now you have room to be creative with your space. So now you can choose what you want to bring in. Some new candles and a pillow or two to complete your new room…Or just maybe with your new boldness you will repaint this weekend….and next?… new window treatments?

Blackout ? Why should you get your window treatments with blackout ?

Cory — Wed, 19 May 2010 18:51:35 +0000

One of the most important things anyone can do for their health is to get into a deep enough sleep in order for your body to fully rest and recover. It’s not about how long you sleep like many people think. It’s really about how deep you sleep.

The problem that many people have in trying to get a deep sleep is things distract them and wake them up in the middle of the night. This could be happening to you without you even knowing it because by the time you wake up, you won’t remember. If you are type of person who needs total darkness to sleep and you have blinds or curtains where light is still able to show through, then this can be a great solution to your problem.

One great option is cellular Blackout Shades… ask us about Hunter Douglas energy rebates…

Secondly, climate control and energy consumption. Custom draperies with blackout lining are a perfect way to both keep cool in the summer by blocking out the sun’s strong rays and keeping warm in the winter keeping the heat from escaping…..

Sunbrella Outdoor Fabrics

Cory — Wed, 12 May 2010 22:18:57 +0000

Summer is almost here…as are our family BBQ’s and special events. Outdoor Sunbrella drapery is quite the craze the days and to help those summer dreams come true we are extending a huge discount to our friends and their friends. We are offering 20% off any custom made outdoor Sunbrella drapery! With everyone entertaining at home these days it makes perfect sense to take our parties outside. By the way, have you looked at your backyard lately? It might need some attention.

Let me help you…I can come over there and suggest a few drapery panels, complimented by some matching kidney pillows for your chairs, or we can recover any outside pads you have on your existing set already. There is no need to buy a new set just because the fabric is old and tattered…we can recover them! The drapery panels (if you have that room to install the hardware), really adds an exquisite touch to the outdoor atmosphere. Throw in a few candles scattered around, twinkling lights on the umbrella, fresh flowers planted in the garden and maybe even pick up a “zen” type water feature, and wa la, you now have a backyard that you can be proud of and enjoy.

We are all entertaining more at home these days, or at least it seems that way. So, why not make that space as special as you would the inside of your home. Once I am done decorating the backyard, all you need are your friends, great music, light the candles and open up your favorite bottle of wine or sparking water with lime, and away you go.

You need to BBQ though……

Call today, or send me back an email and we can set up an appointment to see if we can get the party started.

Outdoor Fabrics: Back to Backyard Bar-B-Q’s

Cory — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 21:53:43 +0000

Summer is just around the corner and these days we are looking at spending our hard earned money wisely. A great place to invest is in our own backyards. Here in sunny California we spend so much time outdoors with our beautiful weather, that it makes perfect sense in today’s hard economic time to spend a little money to make back yards a fabulous place to entertain our family and friends. It doesn’t take much to create a great outdoor living space where you can get away and disconnect from the outside world or host a great Bar-B-Q with close friends. An easy way to spruce up old patio furniture is to update your cushion fabric. Add some outdoor draperies to either make a cozy space or create a more dramatic party area. There is so much you can do so much with color and texture…. and a glass of wine won’t hurt either!

Check out the link below to see what other have to say about investing in Sunbrella fabrics.

Sunbrella : Spring at Last!

Cory — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:29:36 +0000

Oh, these wonderful days of spring. Here in Southern California it’s been in the 80’s the past few days and this picture from the website Paddyo makes me want to go out to the porch, throw away the old furniture and start over again. Well, maybe my husband would be happier if I just went out there and dusted off the pollen instead.

Outdoor living is huge right now. With the advancements in weatherproof foam, uv materials for furniture and outdoor fabrics from companies like Sunbrella, why sit inside? And it’s not only about the furniture anymore, today’s outdoor rooms are framed with drapery panels that help to protect the area from the hot sun or an afternoon shower.

The drapes you see are relaxed style with grommets. They cut out a little return that curves around the column for added privacy. Drapes made with outdoor fabrics like Sunbrella resist mold and the color will stand up for years, even in direct sun. It looks like another pretty day here so I think I’ll take my laptop, dust off the table and chairs and spend the afternoon working from the porch. Now, where’s the windex??
