So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

What Is Home Decor?

By Jeff Cartright


Where do you shop for Home Decor in the Greater Charleston , SC area? What is Home Decor? Home Decor is anything that is made or bought to decorate your home. Lamps, rugs, chandeliers, coffee tables, chairs, couches, settees, garden stools, candles, secretaries, tables, bars, art, pillows all qualify as home decor. If you are searching for a newer twist on old furnishings then you would be looking for shabby chic, new purposed items including painted and recovered furniture.

Everyone searching for home decor wants to buy that "unique piece" that makes their place different. Following trends will trigger where you want to buy your home decor and you can be trendy but still unique by buying one of a kind things. That's why buying shabby chic is a look that is in "vogue". You will be buying something old and then made new and different by the artist that changes it. From milk paint to chalk paint with softly rubbed off surfaces, to cutting edge fabrics that cover the lamps, chairs , and couches that you see will make your home unique.

Decorating your home is always challenging as you want your decor to last and to wow your family and friends. Stores that offer home decor will often help you to envision how items will look in your home. Many times they will send their in house decorators to help you with "decorating" your home. Knowing where to place art, lamps, chandeliers, rugs and furniture are often hard for the homeowner and can be made easier by seeing the rooms in a home decor store set up in vignettes.

Decorators know how many things should be on a fireplace mantle without making it look too busy and how large a mirror should be placed. They will know if you should paint your ceiling a different color and how far up the drapes should be hung. Should they just hit the floor or puddle. They will often recommend upholsterers and seamstresses who can sew slipcovers.

Home Decor trends are showing chevron striped rugs, Ikat material that is reminiscent of batik, modern lamps with round shades, re-purposed coffee tables that were once someone else like, railroad luggage carts, chicken coops, European goat carts. Reclaimed wood from old barn and building structures is hot because it gives a story or provenance to a one of kind made piece. Worn spotted mirrors are in as either topped on round tables or covering bureaus for a "Hollywood Glam" look.
