Greetings!
 
Peggy GillisThis year will, I'm sure, offer many challenges to all of us.  I believe that spending time in our homes can certainly bring us comfort and reduce stress.  This is the year to "Cocoon"; to wrap yourself in warm, comfortable surrounding; to look around and enjoy beautiful furnishings and decor; to know that you are in the best place you can be, your home.
 
We would love to make your home even more pleasing to your eye and to make you proud to show it to others.  Invest in the place where you spend those most relaxing times; in your house with your family and friends.  
 
Visit our store to find out what we can do to help you enjoy your living space even more and also take advantage of our Winter Clearance SALE..

Rousseau's Trends

(Each month we make you aware of trends and directions in the furniture and interior design industry)
 
Classic Investment Purchasing
 
This is a reoccurring and enduring idea that is now even more important.  Our frugal Canadian mind set is coming to the fore again as we face more difficult economic times. But even as we look for good value, we still want the highest quality possible for our spending power. We are finally coming around to the European model of buy less, but buy better quality. This applies to our homes, furnishings, clothing, etc. and is a truly sustainable ongoing lifestyle.
 
Harden Sofa 1Harden Furniture's exciting new 'Next Generations' upholstery collection recognizes today's customer's desire for clean, updated design blended with Harden's luxury and quality. Click here to find out more about Harden's celebration of 80 years.
 

Tradition Meets Technology
Fireplace
 
Electric Fireplaces are a great way to create an instant focal point (and an alternate anchor to the flat-screen TV)  in almost any room and are endlessly portable. Just plug it in and hit the remote control.  They have been popular in the UK for decades as an efficient, cost effective way to 'zone heat' (up to 400 sq.ft) in large or small houses.  Our Sussex model has clean lines, timeless dentil moulding and is available in a choice of white paint (as shown on our floor), oak, cherry or walnut stains.  These are on special for a limited time for $1095. (reg $1499)  An added benefit to this model is Purifire (tm) the first integrated air filtering system which continuously filters air mold, pollen, dander, dust and other allergens.
