Running out of time?????

Remember, Impressive Windows and Interiors can also take care of holiday decorating for you (any holiday you wish). We take inventory of what you have and based on a budget approved by you, we add to your collection. We do the shopping, set up and take down (if requested) for you. Also included, photos of your space for next year so you remember how it was all put together. What a bargain!!!

New products- new possibilities

WINK The clear, dry erase coating that lets you turn any paintable surface into a write-and-erase canvas. Now, let the true color of your wall show through, without the limits of a whiteboard. Wink is not your typical whiteboard, this is red-board, orange-board or purple-board. You can write on any color wall with stuff-very cool.

Pantone's top color for Spring 2014 is.....

Dazzling Blue! When I see this color, royalty comes to mind. Specifically Kate Middleton in that smashing blue lace dress she wore a few months back. Or perhaps my fondness stems from its keen resemblance to Facebook. Nonetheless, what a rich, luxurious addition for 2014. Can you imagine injecting a little of this hue into your wardrobe- or your homes interior?

SteamPunk Interior Design

Steampunk style gained its popularity through a compilation of different literature genres, such as science fiction, fantasy, and alternative history. Now that it has evolved from fashion to interior design, you can clearly see the Victorian Era elements throughout. What distinguishes Steampunk interior design from other design styles are of course the gadgets that are supposedly designed during the Victorian Era. These details of interior are the future’s elements seen in a Victorian Era perspective. Even if it is a computer, a machine for XXI century, it is visually perceived as a machine designed in XIX. Additionally, the colors that are used in Steampunk design are often tinted with copper.

5 Non Paint Wall Ideas- Very Cool!

http://www.shelterpop.com/2010/08/16/decorating-wall-without-paint?ncid=dynaldusshel00000001

Abracadabra!

I have a little fun up my sleeve today! It is called a virtual rendering. Wouldn't it be nice if you could "see" what your room will look like after you commit to a room makeover or simply new window treatments? Well, now that is now possible.

Here is a simple example of what you will see, a virtual rendering of what the treatment will look like in your room. See how closely it resembles the finished product?

What does the color of your front door say about YOU?

White- You like things sterile, very clean. It satisfies you to see nothing. Color confuses you within your home and therefore you tend to back away and "stay safe" when it comes to color.

Black- You love traditional style and appreciate the architecture within a home. Your home is very tidy and sensible.

Gray- You are mysterious by nature but love a little contemporary or modern flair. You are current on the latest decorating trends and consider yourself a pioneer.

Brick/Red- You love attention being drawn to you in your life as well as your decorating. You love being in the spotlight and enjoy being at the center of the party.

Pumpkin/Orange-You are bold and not afraid to take a risk. You feel young and energetic and are tired of "predictable decorating".

Gold/yellow- You have a daring personality and love to garden. You take a great deal of inspiration within your decorating from mother nature.

Lime/green- You always love throwing a great party! Your design style tends to be a little off-beat but extremely comfortable.

Violet/Magenta-You love an elegant room with an eclectic twist. Your style is original and you are definitely a trend setter.

SO, what color IS your door?
