Lighting has a big effect on how you feel in your home. The effect may be more subtle than paint color or furniture but it makes the difference between a lackluster space and a lively one.

And besides setting the mood, the right light fixtures act as decorative and functional elements; completing a room while ensuring you can read your book without a flashlight.

We met up with Cindy, our Store Manager in Middleton, to get her advice on lighting your home.

So, you’re ordering furniture online. What should you consider? What should you avoid? We talked to Gary, our Director of Sales to get all his expert tips on ordering online.

Your second home, whether it's a rustic cabin or a breezy oceanside cottage, is an opportunity to curate a relaxing space. It should be a true escape. And we want to help you choose the right pieces to curate a style you love.

We spoke to our talented team of designers in the Pembroke showroom to get all of their tips on furnishing a summer home.  

Like everyone else, we’ve been stuck in our homes trying to make the best of a not-so-great situation. And what happens when you put a bunch of creative types into quarantine? We get creative!

Our team has been using this time to make our homes the most comforting they possibly can be. From planting herbs to painting walls—it doesn’t take much to refresh your space and make your home a place you love to be in.

Here’s what we’ve been up to during this time.

With the world at a stand-still for the past few months, we’ve all been spending much more (if not all) our time in our homes.

That extra time may have brought to light some issues in your homes that you want to remedy –whether it’s an entire renovation or one room you’re focusing on.

And the truth is, there’s no better time to think a little more deeply about your space and what you want from it. 

The world is in a scary place right now. I’ll refrain from using the words “uncertain” and “unprecedented” because we’ve all heard them a little bit too much over the past few weeks.

The fact is, the news is constantly changing and it’s unclear when we’ll be able to control the coronavirus and COVID-19 outbreak. What we do know is that it’s absolutely necessary to socially distance and stay home. If you’re a healthcare worker or working in a grocery store or for a delivery service, we can’t thank you enough for risking your life to keep the rest of the world running. 

Sometimes it’s the simplest changes that have the greatest impact. Regardless of style and budget, there’s one change that will instantly update the look of your home: wall color.

Whether you’ve just moved into a new home or you’re looking for a fresh take on a room in your house, changing your paint color is a great place to start.

We met up with our team of designers in Middleton to discover their favorite trends and get tips on deciding on a paint color.
