Home Decor

Summer is the perfect time for entertaining outdoors. Depending on where you live, the heat during this time of year can be overbearing. We’ve been shopping for umbrellas for our pool deck for a while, so when Abba Patio contacted us, we were thrilled at the opportunity to test and review their product!

I always look forward to the weekends when I can relax by the pool with my family. The Abba Patio Octagon Cantilever Umbrella, which features an impressive 10-foot canopy is not only functional, but also a mobile architectural feature.

March into Spring with Little Things

Brightly colored flowers, a warm breeze and smells of honeysuckles lingering in the air. Spring is one of my favorite seasons. Guess what? In a little over a week, spring will be here (March 20)! Spring brings forth warmer weather and one of my favorite holidays – Easter!

I’ve always enjoyed decorating for the holidays. Of course, Christmas is one of my favorites, but Easter comes in a close second. With spring near and Easter following shortly after, it’s time to take out all the spring decor and get my home ready!

They Filter the Perfect Amount of Light

After recently installing Ovation™ Cellular Shades by Comfortex Window Fashions in our family room, my husband and I were bound and determined to find an equally impressive option for our sliding glass doors. (You can read my rave reviews on the Cellular Shades on my blog.)

Lo and behold, Comfortex makes Ovation™ Cellular Sliders that are made with the same honeycomb material as the shades! These Cellulars slide smoothly side to side along a horizontal rail and are exceptionally quiet with the pleats staying perpendicular with the floor.

Color can certainly make or break a room. You can paint an entire room, use pops of color through your decorations or add an accent wall. Either way, color can serve as a powerful design tool that can evoke different emotions. Color can be used in rooms of your home to make you feel calm, cheerful — even inspired!
