Most Popular Decorative Home Hardware of the Week (5/29/10-6/4/10)

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

Hello and welcome to the beginning of June. You may have noticed the absence of this blog over the past two weeks, but I am back again with another dose of decorative home hardware and other related topics. One major project that is happening personally is I am having the front of my house rebuilt. It had a faux balcony with wood decks and wrought iron railings and while it looked interesting it was not maintained and did not look right for our neighborhood. So, the whole thing was ripped down and is being replaced by better decking, fluted columns on the bottom and railings on the top section. We are also replacing the concrete patio, the front door and shutters. I’ll post some pictures next week of the progress.

Celtic Knot Cabinet PullNow on to this week’s specials: This month we are featuring 15% off all Waterwood solid brass hardware. These wonderful pieces are hand made in Texas and are of the highest quality. Choose from switch plates, cabinet knobs, drawer pulls, appliance pulls, doorbells and door bell chime boxes (made of wood). Their work together has been recognized by such publications as House Beautiful, Traditional Home, Southern Living and Old House Journal who have all recommended the Waterwood line to their readers. 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 New Orleans with hand crafted clocks and signs wLe Grand Hotel Paris Retro Tin and Paper Wall Clockith 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 has quite a bit of variety this week and also shows a resurgence of some of the old standards such as plain wrought iron switch plates, mirrored glass switch plates and Italian Scroll solid brass 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.

Most Popular Decorative Home Hardware of the Week (3/6/10-3/12/10)

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.

ToposSince 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.
