Exciting Windows! by Marisol

Looking for passion, energy and strength, look not further than at the color RED.  What an energetic color this is!  When you use it in a dining room area, it tends to increase the appetite, mmm! and it will also make you more impulsive so forget about that diet in this room!

It is such an exciting color, why go for the black cocktail dress when you can be HOT in a red dress.  I love using shades of reds on pillows, accessories, throws, and sometimes on the window covering such as the valance or other top treatments, or drapery to bring a room alive!

Like in everything, you always want to be moderate of the use of red, even though a red room can be a great design.  (See picture below.)  Red is a great accent color for a room if you want to add some fun.  Red in combination with other colors can take the negative side of it, aggression and rebellion, and add excitement to an otherwise boring design.

It is time  to “STOP THE GREAT ENERGY GIVEAWAY”.  In the past, windows were known as “wind holes”.  These days, however, sealed double-pane windows do a good job of preventing unwanted airflow.  Now, windows are more like giant “energy holes”, allowing up to 50% of a home’s cooling and heating energy to pour through them.  This make it more difficult to operate room temperatures and requires customers to spend more on artificial cooling and heating.  Isn’t it time to stop throwing money out the windows?

More than just a fashion statement, our window fashions are tools to help save energy resources and important contributors to reducing energy use, utility costs and greenhouse gas emissions.

Hunter Douglas leads the industry in the development of innovative, quality, high style window fashions – in all categories.  That is why they are offering this great promotion to raise consumer awareness of how easy it is to “go green” and gt a handle on energy loss in your home.

Take advantage of rebates from $50 to $300 per window (limit 10) on different Hunter Douglas products.  This offer is until April 30, 2009.  Visit www.HunterDouglas.com for more information or www.ExcitingWindows.com and schedule your appointment

If you are looking for excellent bedding designs, look no further.  I am now offering bedding, pillows, drapery panels, shams, upholster headboards, and more that is spectacular in appearance all from Eastern Accents.  I actually bought some for my house.  My daughter got the Sakura line, an Asian inspired design.  I also went and visited the Eastern Accents shop in Chicago the last time I was there.  Awesome.  Amazing.  Marvelous.  I had to say to myself, What took me so long to get their line?

You can visit their website www.easternaccents.com to view their line.  I am getting some of the fabrics to upholster a chair and an ottoman for my daughter’s room.  You can see the design I did for her room all based on this bedding, and undoubtedly, she loves it.  I think it is a good transitional design from a little girl to a tween, and it will definitely work when she becomes a young adult.
