Most Popular Decorative Home Hardware of the Week (12/12/09-12/18/09)

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

This week is Christmas for those of you who celebrate the Holiday. Hopefully you are able to spend some time with your family and friends this week. This morning we just had our first snow of the year and everything is covered with a nice clean layer of white. I always love the look of a fresh layer of snow. There’s not enough to go sledding, but maybe later this week.

Continuing this December we are offering our twenty most popular switch plates at 10% off.  We have seen a few of these styles show up in our top ten list this week. We also have two door knockers on the list this week, which seem to make very popular Christmas and Wedding gifts. We are also happy to celebrate our first full year in business. Thank you all for making it such a memorable year.

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 switchplates 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.

Made by hand on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada
