Accent chairs are a great way to compliment your larger pieces of furniture.  They add flair and style to your home design scheme, not to mention the benefit of extra seating.  An addition of color and texture, side chairs can update your room without having to tug on the purse strings for all new furniture.  With so many different styles, there is truly something for everyone, no matter what your style or budget may be.

Looking to add that certain WOW factor to your home? Choose stone; it adds natural warmth, texture and drama. Floors, walls, columns, tub surrounds and back splashes all benefit from a stone facade.  Cultured stone and natural stone both have varying textures, colors and price points.  There is something out there that’s right for you!

Yesterday, in our Brock Design blog, we talked about the backyard oasis.  Today, let’s move to the front and add some curb appeal and value to your home.   Altering the front of your home for great curb appeal doesn’t have to be daunting.  Most tasks can be done in a day or weekend.  Here are some quick points of action for  a beautiful front entrance ~

* Give your home some dimension by adding a bold, contrasting color to your front door

* Add a fresh coat of paint on the house and trim

* Create symmetry with plants and trees on either side of your door and in the yard

* Install efficient lighting to guide you into the home

* Add an arbor or fence

* A water feature is not only pleasing to the eye, but soothing as well

* Mount window boxes or shutters that draw the eye to the front of the house

* Spruce up your driveway and walkway by keeping a clean edge detail, power wash the brick or concrete and add some perimeter plants and flowers

Get out there.  Your neighbors are waiting!

With the sun finally starting to peak through the spring clouds, I’m anxious to spend more time outside.  I love taking a cup of coffee, my laptop and sunglasses out on to the back deck to enjoy the warm weather and fresh air.  We went browsing for some out of this world outdoor spaces and wanted to show you our favorites.  These may be what most of us could only dream about, but they give me inspiration to spruce my little patio up and get out there and enjoy it!   Let’s face it, sometimes the best vacation spot is in your own backyard.

Walking into a kitchen or bathroom, usually the first thing to grab your eye is the countertop – marble, quartz, stainless steel, glass, wood.  An expanse of beautiful material makes you want to run your hand across it and soak it into your senses.

As we learned in last years’ Perfectly Pastels post, these lovely soft colors have always worked in kids’ rooms but started to venture to other rooms in the house.  We are now seeing a trend with pastels.  They are transforming to a more modern hue in today’s home designs.
