Hello and welcome to the third week of September. Thoughts of Fall are moving in as are the first thoughts of Halloween. If you want something extra special check out our Halloween and Day of the Dead switch plates. We are still adding more indoor items to the Habitatter.com website and you will soon find a greater variety than ever to help make your habitat better.
This week our featured website is Property Presenters from Queensland Australia. The site has a wealth of information regarding selling your home regardless of where you live with common sense articles on presentation, common mistakes to avoid and other tips. My favorite sections are their before and after photos for both interior and exterior, and their suggestions on presenting an empty house. The latter features virtual property styling which lets you populate photos of an empty house with stylish decor to prompt a buyers imagination. Overall a very helpful site with a load of great information and ideas. (Know of a website we should feature on this blog? Send the URL along with your name to: Suggestions @ Habitatter.com)
Now on to this week’s special: From now until the end of September we are featuring 20% off Good Night Irene polymer clay switch plates. For something really unique check out her abstract people switch plates line. Good Night Irene! is a one-woman studio in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina. She’s been working with polymer clay since 1992, and started creating light switch plates almost immediately. Irene is a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild and a founding member and past president of the Blue Ridge Polymer Clay Guild. She’s also authored and produced work for three books on polymer clay, published by Lark Books, and has contributed projects to numerous other publications.
This week we are adding decorative bathroom hardware including: cotton jars, soap & lotion dispensers, soap dishes, tissue box covers, towel stands, vanity accessory kits and waste baskets. Spice up your bathroom with decorative and functional accents. Keep a look out as there are more being added very soon.

 Spalted Alder Wood Switch Plate Spalted Alder Wood Switch Plate
The exposed growth rings and spalting pattern on these switch plates offer a unique, earthy look. This not only intrigues the eye, but accentuates the warmth of a natural home.
The alder wood used for these switch plates is enhanced using a process called “spalting” to bring out the beauty of the hardwood — allowing the wood to reveal both its spalting pattern and a cross-section of the tree’s growth rings.
The resulting products exhibit a rich mixture of red and brown earth tones, blended with streaks of a lighter honey color — giving each unique piece a warm and weathered character.

Hello and welcome to the the second week of August and is it ever hot. I really feel like I should be doing more outdoor projects, but I really don’t feel like being outside too long. Oh well, there are plenty of projects to do indoors. Actually, I really need to work on my office where I write this blog. I think it’s the only room in the house that we never took the time to decorate and I spend more time in here than any other room. It’s functional, but doesn’t really feel good. Time for a complete redo in the next few weeks.
This week our featured website is the site for Barbara Hawthorne Interiors. Barbara is an interior designer who specializes in residential and commercial spaces in the Mid-Atlantic region. The website shows off an amazing portfolio with great photographs of past projects. All portfolio areas are broken up into traditional, transitional and modern design styles which each give you a sense of what is possible. Overall I love the clean look of the site and the photos give me so many ideas. (Know of a website we should feature on this blog? Send the URL along with your name to: Suggestions @ Habitatter.com)
