Saturday, March 13th, 2010
Hello and welcome to the second week of March. We have been getting rain all week and it has finally dissolved all of the remaining snow. I am really looking forward to cleaning up our yard and getting things ready for the Spring blooms. We put in some new gardens a few years ago and have been updating them ever since. I always love Spring and the new opportunities it presents.
Since I’m thinking about outdoors this is a great time to feature a local landscaping business, Topos Studio in Washington Township, Ohio. They take on projects through our local area ranging from civic, commercial, recreation and personal gardens. They have a very straightforward site and quite a few sketches of their designs available so you can see their style. I do wish they had more photos of the completed projects, but you can’t get everything. I really do like their style though and plan on going to a few of the places they have designed to check them out in person.
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. This week our top ten list is dominated by decoupage designs in a variety of styles.

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.
This 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.
