Greetings!

As we find summer coming to a close, we need to cherish the memories made with friends and family.
Whether it was a great cookout on the back deck or a family weekend forced to celebrate inside due to the occasional thunder storm. Next year, this same time, everyone will be one year older, coming back to try and make more wonderful memories.
 
With the close of the season, it reminds us to update our family photos and change out a few "tired" items.  Let us show you how to fluff your down pillows or replace your dining room rug with one the perfect size.  

Just remember, the next house guests could be just a few weeks away.

Family Photos Family Photos   As designers we are often asked where is the proper place to display family photos?  We find that the staircase is a perfect spot to hang photos and how about incorporating a quote to make it more personal.  Or another nautical solution, display them in an office with cleats and rope. The possibilities are endless, just remember to group them together for the best results.
  Fluffing Down Pillows 
If you've noticed your down cushions are a bit...flat lately, use this easy trick to restore them to their plump shape.

Company c Proper Size Dining Room Rug
How big should your dining room area rug be? In short, you should be able to sit down at your dining table and push your chair back like you're getting up from the table, all while all four legs of your chair remain on the area rug. If you've ever tried to scoot up to a table and had the back legs of your chair get caught on the edge of an area rug, you know why this is so important! You also need a minimum of 10" of hardwood showing around the perimeter of your room beyond your area rug. If per the guideline on keeping the chairs on the rug you end up with less than 10", you might want to consider going rug-less.

Be sure to stock up on a few cases of water.  Make sure you're aware of the types of water damage that are covered by flood insurance.  Keep a battery operated emergency radio with you at all times.  Secure all outdoor furniture and unplug small appliances.  Last but not least, make sure your family members are aware of your evacuation route.
