Most Popular Decorative Home Hardware of the Week (8/21/10-8/27/10)

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

Hello and welcome to end of August.  School is back in season and the temperature has started to cool off. It has really been great weather to finish up all of those outdoor projects that I was putting off due to the heat of Summer. On the list later today is cleaning up the shelves in the garage.

McHale LandscapeThis week our featured website is the site for McHale Landscape Design Inc. They are a landscape / hardscape design company based in Maryland. They focus on four primary areas landscaping, masonry, carpentry and maintenance, the last being important to make sure their plans are continually implemented properly. My favorite part of their website is their photo gallery which highlights about 100 projects which they have completed. Overall the site could use some design and layout work, but I find their photo gallery to be very useful when thinking of design ideas. (Know of a website we should feature on this blog? Send the URL along with your name to: Suggestions @ Habitatter.com)

Arts & Crafts Ceramic Switch PlateNow on to this week’s special: From now until the end of August we are featuring 10% off All Fired Up ceramic switch plates and house numbers. All Fired Up! is a small family-owned ceramics company founded in 1984 in Milton, Ontario, Canada. Over the years they have designed hundreds of different switch plates, and sold hundreds of thousands. All of their designs are All Fired Up! Originals, designed by Lynne Carson, and many of them are available in multiple configurations.

Zebra Switch PlateThis week we have been adding the interior hardware styles of Vicki Lane. From it’s humble beginning in a garage in 1983, Vicki has expanded into being a nationwide designer, manufacturer and distributor for switch plates, drawer pulls, knobs, ceiling light pulls and doorbells currently marketed today by Vicki Lane. We currently have the lighted doorbells, switch plates and ceiling fan pulls active on our website, but look for drawer pulls & knobs to be added this coming week.

Hello and welcome to the the second week of May. It’s hard to believe that May is already half over, I swear we just had frost last week. Wait we did have frost last week, that’s Ohio for you. This weekend there are been two events here in Dayton, which make the city come alive with a vibrant night life. The big one is called Urban Nights and it’s a time when businesses throughout downtown stay open late (10 PM) and feature art, sculpture, film and music from locals. The streets are packed and you get to experience a plethora of amazing art, it’s a shame it isn’t like this every weekend. The other event is called A World A’Fair where groups representing about 50 countries set up in our convention center and showcase food, culture and dance from their native country.

Most Popular Decorative Home Hardware of the Week (2/27/10-3/5/10)

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Hello and welcome to the first week of March. With today’s weather it definitely feels like Spring is on it’s way.  I’m starting to categorize all of the projects around our house and the new warehouse space.

One thing we’re trying this year is to look at one room each week and see what little changes and minor fixes we can make to it without spending too much money.  We started with the master bathroom and have been taking care of all those nagging little problems that just keep getting put off.  We’ve also started changing small bits of decor, like the heat vent, that just didn’t match the rest of the room.  (We had a white heat vent while all of the other hardware in the room is wrought iron.) The little bits of change have cost us under $100, but the difference has been amazing. We’re going to try and carry this on through the whole house taking on one room over the course of one to two weeks.  Next week I’ll get some before and after shots.

Art-VanThis week we are featuring one of my favorite online furniture stores, Art Van Furniture from Michigan. They are a chain, but only have stores in one state so I just look at them online. One of the most useful features of their site is their Room Planner. You can use this tool to draw a custom sized room and then use their icons to see how you’d like to lay things out. You can even save and print your rooms. It’s a great idea planner and is helpful even if you aren’t in the market for new furniture.

This March we are featuring 15% Off all the wonderful Rosalie Sherman Designs decorative hardware. Rosalie Sherman designs feature animal themes and will brighten your day with their whimsical door bells, door knockers, drawer pulls and cabinet knobs. All designs are created in Pennsylvania and are shipped directly from the artist herself. Give your room some character and add a few Rosalie Sherman accents.

I hope everybody is enjoying the snow this week, because there seems to be no way of escaping it. From what I heard all 50 states Concept-Interiorshad some snow on the ground this week.  This week we travel to Shepperton, Middlesex England to look at a great home interior decorating / remodeling website I came across called Concept Interior. They focus on kitchens and bathrooms, but feature a full range of options for your whole home. they also have an excellent photo galley of past projects. Their tendency is toward open, airy, modern looking designs that blend in with the adjoining rooms to create a natural flow.

This month we have 20% off all diamond plate aluminum switch plates for the hot rod and industrial look. We also recently added the full collection of switch plates, doorbells and wall signs from Flopping Fish. Also, we sadly learned that Mercury Mosaics will no longer be making ceramic switch plates.

This week our list of top ten decorative hardware items has quite a bit of variety and several designs that have not shown up before.
