“Add Sparkle to Your Life”
Today chandeliers are not just for
the uber rich. Modest homes, mansions,
contemporary and traditional homes are
all appropriate settings for adding some
sparkle to our everyday life.
Kitchen and bathrooms have become
popular locations for chandelier.
Colourful/creative chandeliers add drama
in the kitchen; chandelier sconces in
the powder room add a sparkle; a small
chandelier in the bedroom gives a
luxurious feel to the room.
There are no rules when it comes to
materials and styles of chandeliers. It
is not uncommon to see a rustic cast
iron with crystals, or a chandelier with
different coloured crystals. There are
many options from traditional finishes
to multi tone finishes created by paint
and chemical processes.
Today, with all of the available
choices, finding a suitable chandelier
for your individual taste can be a fun
experience. |

“Trends for 2005”
Clients always ask “what is the next
hot colour or hot home décor accessory”?
Well, home décor is like clothing
fashions…..you may purchase a few trendy
items of clothing, but you do not
usually completely replace your wardrobe
with the latest trend. Nor do you need
to change your total home décor the
moment every new magazine article is
printed! Add and change accessories such
as pillows, candles and even valances to
incorporate new trends and colours into
your home.
Style…..still a more casual…looser look.
Colours….yellow greens, orange, browns,
gold (we can only hope that the browns
and golds do not apply to appliances!).
I think that in the latter part of 2005
and into 2006 we will see more of bright
medium green and a dark coral colour
emerging. Keep in mind that the new
ethnic mix in the population is
demanding brighter colours traditional
to their various cultures.
Wall coverings…..are back (but then so
is the Poncho!). You will see more
metallic and grass cloth as well as
multi-layered prints in wall covering
fashions. |

“Holiday Entertaining Tips”
-
Create the mood, by dimming the
lights or place small lamps on
entrance hall tables, the powder
room counter etc.
-
The scent of cranberry is fresh
and delicious. Light Cranberry
scented candles or buy some
Cranberry potpourri.
-
Mix and match your plates and
dishes. Buy some festive salad
plates and/or mugs and use them with
plain white, red, or green, place
settings. You do not have to buy a
whole set of holiday dishes to spice
up the table.
-
Choose a centrepiece with lots of
evergreen and mums. Mums usually
last a long time. With a spray of
cool water everyday, it should last
quite a while and you do not have to
rush out to buy fresh flowers every
time you entertain.
-
Make your meal planning
simple…..after all….it is your
holiday time too!
