Most Popular Decorative Home Hardware of the Week (6/5/10-6/11/10)

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

Hello again, it’s hard to believe that we are now in the middle of  June. Things are progressing with my home project, the concrete was poured and is now curing.  There is still much work to be done, but all of the old patio and deck are gone so at least everything now is new.

I’m pretty impressed with how well they have avoided killing the plants in our garden. A few have not made it, but overall our garden will survive. Next week they move onto building back the deck, adding railing, pillars, a new front door and replacing the shutters.

Beautiful LifeThis week our featured website is called Beautiful Life and it features all things that make our physical world more beautiful. The four primary sections are Web design, Graphic Design, Industrial Design and Interior Design with gorgeous photos and nice write ups of each feature. The item featured in our screen shot is a futuristic luxury villa located on the island of Cyprus. Overall this site itself is a thing of beauty and I never stop finding amazing design within. (Know of a website we should feature on this blog? Send the URL along with your name to: Suggestions @ Habitatter.com)

Now you can add them to your home at substantial savings this June only.

We are also currently adding a new exciting artist to our line up, Quality Time of Le  Grand Hotel Paris Retro Tin and Paper Wall ClockNew Orleans with hand crafted clocks and signs with a taste of New Orleans. Their inspiration was everywhere — in the historic city itself and in the South’s lingering memories tucked away in rural gas stations, old corner grocery stores, roadside diners and glamorous nightspots. Soon their fascination spread to explore Europe’s long tradition of beautiful travel and product posters.

Our top ten list this week is dominated by ceramic switch plates, especially All Fired Up Ceramic Switch Plates. We also have a switch plate by Fellowship Foundry on the list for the first time ever. Fellowship Foundry creates Fantasy oriented solid pewter switch plates. See what else made the top ten this week by looking below.

Most Popular Decorative Home Hardware of the Week (4/17/10-4/23/10)

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

Hello and welcome to our last post for April, many of the flowers are blooming but it also raining here all weekend. So, I can’t really work outside at all this weekend, however I can get a start on some of the Spring cleaning projects inside that never really got started. Maybe just a quick pick up of every room in the house and then concentrate on just the worst room for cleaning.

stair-pornThis week we are focusing on a niche site called Stair Porn. Don’t let the name fool you as the site explains “stair porn™ is a weblog showcasing cool stairs from around the world. If you came here looking for sex, you’re plumb outta luck, bub.”  I stumbled across this site earlier in the week and have found some amazing stairs on here. You might find it a bit odd at first, but really stairs are such a focal point in any home or building it really makes sense to make them interesting as well as functional.  I was taken away by the design variety and ingenuity found in these pictures. My only criticisms are that the pictures aren’t big enough and the information is scant.

This week is the final week of our two year anniversary celebration offering 10% Off anything on our site when you use the coupon code 10OffApril in the shopping cart. This applies to any category from Door Knockers to Picture Hangers and Switch Plates. You can save even more when you look in our Hardware Clearance Center which items are already marked up to 35% off.

Our top ten list this week is dominated by ceramic switch plates and also the return of Good Night Irene Polymer Clay Switch Plates. There is also one clearance line on the top 10 Mercury Mosaics Ceramic Switch Plates.
