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 
had 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. So, we are clearing out of what we have in stock. If you like their styles make sure you hurry because once these are gone they will never be found again. Now onto our top ten list of the week. 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.

In this week’s list we have a few artists who haven’t shown up before, Muscle Car Accessories and Cowboy Decor.
