Fireplaces for Every Room - Video



I must say after the summer we are having here in New England I just loved watching this video from Design Trade Magazine. I still use my fireplace in June especially on these chilly rainy days. It dries out and warms up the house lifting my spirits as well. Have you thought about adding a fireplace? It is a great add on and definitely adds resale value. Check out some of my favorite fireplaces then grab a cup of tea and watch this video!!!

Black, White and Blue All Over?

I recently attended a seminar on color at the Boston Design Center and started to notice a trend. Brown has now seemed to have taken on the roll of becoming a neutral, a base in which to add dramatic accent colors. It got me thinking to what has happened to our traditional "black and white" scheme, has it gone by the wayside? Fear not, for those of you who are purist and love the polar opposites of the color spectrum, it is here to stay! I have found some wonderful examples of this timeless combination with glorious splashes of color to freshen up the look!
