Look On  The Bright Side with Lilly Pulitzer's

Fabrics For Your Home 

 

Lilly PUlitzerOnce upon a time, at the bright young age of 21, an irreverent and enterprising New York socialite named Lilly eloped with publishing mogul and citrus heir Peter Pulitzer. 

 

Ditching the city for sunny Florida, the couple embarked on a glamorous and colorful life in Palm Beach.  In need of a day job, Lilly opened a simple juice stand in 1959. 

Lilly Bright

 

She soon transformed her citrus stained clothing into a line of brightly colored shift dresses in an array of cheerful prints.  Her designs quickly became the unofficial uniform of America's splashy resort towns.  Fast forward 50+ years and Lilly Pulitzer's prints and colors continue to inspire all to lead a colorful life.  Call us to see this fab new collection!

We LOVE to add a spicy twist to what is often considered a classic look. Creating an individualized design plan for you makes the difference between a ho-hum room and a wow room. 

 

This home belongs to a busy young couple with four children under seven years old.  Their  "must haves" were durability, comfort, beauty and safety for the little ones. 

 

Area RugWe started  with an 8' x 10' (nearly indestructible) area rug which brought inviting colors into the room. Inserting a Luxe Hold Plus reversible pad between the rug and the carpeting means the difference between an area rug that shifts and one that stays safely in place. 

 

Then we added a curvy side table with a convenient shelf for books and a 32" champagne and bronze table lamp. Arranging the art, shelves and personalized

TOP TIPS

Books on display usually look better sans dustcovers.  Revealing the hardcover adds a touch of sophistication and richness.  Save the paper covers for later should you want them again. 

Don't Bet Against Red

 

Lady in RedWant to triumph over a competitor?  Attract romantic attention?  Wear red.  Scientists have discovered that color tips many situations in the wearer's favor.   Athletes in red have a small but significant advantage over over opponents in other colors.

 attractive by the opposite sex -and more likely to be asked out on a date.  Some speculate it's simply because red is easier to see.  Humans, like most primates, have a trichromatic visual system which is believed to have evolved to help us spot ripe fruit.  Whatever the reason, there's no denying red's pervasive power.

A  Tribute To Our Soldiers

 

To honor those who have paid the ultimate price while serving in Afghanistan and Iraq,  a beautiful monument is planned near the intersection of Cutten and Cypresswood Drive, next to Cy-ChampPark

 

For as little as $60.00 and up to $1000.00, you can remember any loved one you wish with a paver bearing their name.  Having served in the military is not necessary for the person(s) you'd like to honor.  

 

Whether it's your grandfather, father, mother, son, daughter, brother, uncle,  nephew or friend you'd like to remember, this monument will be first class and one we can all be proud to support.
