Hello and welcome to the end of September and the first week of Fall. We are featuring a special for the remainder of the month with a coupon good for 10% off your entire order. Just use coupon code “TenOffSeptember” when you check out for great savings on your decorative home hardware needs.
This week our featured website is The House Designers. Do you love looking at home floorplans and elevations? I know that I sure enjoy it and on this website you have thousands at your fingertips (or should I say mouse clicks). There are plans of every style, from log cabin to modern and sizes that range from 320 square feet to over 22,000 square feet. A wealth of layout ideas and floor plan design can be found throughout the site. Of course if you’d like to build they sell full blueprint plans for a very reasonable cost., but I just like looking at the designs and dreaming up my own ideas.
