Don't be afraid to use a variety of fabrics with textures. Mix silks, sateen, wools, and cotton when you are decorating. Our natural light hit the fibers of the fabric differently. It's nice to give a room another sort of sparkle!

Hello,

This is my second posting. Its all ready July and we're all recovering from the humid heat we've had this past week. So with the gardens planted and we're tired of watching the tomato's grow, I think its time to do a creative project. So set up your fans to stay cool and lets get creative!

I'm in the middle of sewing a set of drapes for my daughters new house. Panels are the really easy to make and are forgiving if you do make mistakes. Cut your length including at least 8" for hems and 8" for top pocket. We are making rod pocket drapery panels, one width each. Cut your lining about the same length. Put a hem in the lining fabric, and drapery fabric. Lay the lining fabric over the back of the front fabric. don't match the hems. You want the lining to be higher (2-3") then drapery. Put your side hems in. Fold over side hems 2" twice and iron flat. Now you can either sew by hand or machine sew the side hems. When you are done, fold over the top making a pocket. Press and hang. If you have any ? call or email me. Happy sewing!

Started in 1995, our store has become a recognized leader in carrying high quality, comfortable price furniture.

After three great years, we decided to change our name to reflect the changing style and personality of the furniture and accessories! We will still carry beautiful American made shaker, mission, and traditional style furniture. But we now have unique contemporary furniture, lamps, and accessories too!

We have built a reputation of carrying high quality furniture, lamps, and accessories at a comfortable price. As a small family business, from the beginning we have strived to provide services based upon Biblical principles such as honesty, fairness, and mutual respect. You can rest assured that our tradition will continue for years to come.

We appreciate that most of our new customers are a result of personal referral from existing customers. This is quite honestly, the result of quality products, comfortable prices, and owner involvement from the point of sale through delivery

A lot of people think beauty means luxury or high end goods, but I think the beauty of decorating is truly what feels right and is good for you!
