Get Your Home Ready For The Holidays 

Take a look around your home...start with the  largest areas which are walls, floors and ceilings. Are you happy with your paint colors or do they need refreshing? 

Family dinner

 

If you've added new furniture and accessories, including art and lighting in the last 5 years, now is a great time to change your backdrop color and  brighten your trim, too. If your formerly white trim has turned yellow, it's due to an ambering process that occurred in old paint formulas. A coat of new paint solves that problem forever.  

 

Opalescent WallpaperWe're unapologetic about our 30 year love affair with wallpaper.  It can soar with the highest staircase, add to a gracious dining room experience and make a powder room feel elegant and special.  Plus it protects your walls and adds a layer of sound absorption.  Unlike a faux finish, it's easy to repair. Did you know that a wallpapered room actually needs less furniture?

    

Welcome your guestsThink about your entry.  Does it feel warm and welcoming?  There's no better place to introduce the colors you've used throughout your home than here. Perhaps inspired by a piece of art or your front door glass design, consider an area rug in an unusual shape. For a wow look, pair an octagonal rug with a runner leading to your family room if you have the space.  Always select the largest size that will offer your guests a soft landing spot.

 

With so many rug styles, patterns, colors and fibers to choose Red Masland DR area rug from, we can help by bringing actual samples to your home. We will make sure your front door clears the pile height and determine what rug liner to use for safety and comfort.  If you have area rugs in other rooms of your home, you can be confident they will compliment each other and work well together.   And don't be shy about placing a colorful area rug on top of carpeting.  We do it all the time and there are special liners we provide for carpet to carpet applications.   

 

Do you have enough comfortable seating for your visiting family and friends?  Ottomans and benches can save the day, especially when grouped in pairs.  At other times, they can be tucked away under a console table.  An unused  fireplace hearth 18" or taller can be lined with cushions or pillows to provide additional seating.

 

Neoclassic Bench Interior Reflections has just added a new custom upholstery  collection to our line up.  Timeless and elegant, each piece is designed with a modern aesthetic and derived from classic forms with an eye for proportion and an attention to detail. The opulence of natural materials and artisanal paint finishes adds a layer of rich texture to the hand crafted surfaces of this collection.

Do you have art and accessories stored in a closet because you don't know where to put them? Is your family room furniture placement puzzling to you?

Walt Disney's Genius Inspires Sophisticated Rooms
Walt Disney 1938Speaking of wallpaper, the Walt Disney Signature Collection, inspired by his classic movies from the 1940's and 1950's has just been released in two volumes.

Volume I takes its cue from the 1940 movie Fantasia and is filled with a surprisingly modern, grown-up interpretation of such diverse magical elements as frost fairies, dancing mushrooms and stylized birds fluttering along a tree-lined  meadow. 

From a distance you may not see it, but up close  you can trace Walt Disney Wallpaper Collectionwhat is perhaps the most recognizable Disney character of all.  His interlocking outline is shown here printed in a charcoal metallic ink. This design is available in five colorways.

 

"Fantasia is timeless. It may run 10, 20 or 30 years. It may run  after I'm gone. Fantasia is an idea in itself. I can never build another Fantasia. I can improve. I can elaborate. That's all."   Walt Disney

TOP TIPS

It's easy to remove hard water deposits on granite countertops that show up particularly around faucets. 

 

Mix a paste of 1 part baking soda and 2 parts vinegar and smooth a layer over the area.  Let sit for 10 minutes. Use a single edge razor to scrape off the paste making sure the surface is wet at all times.  

 

When you've removed all the white film, use a teeny bit of petroleum jelly over the area to bring the color back and to offer some protection, as well.
