Home Decor & Gifts 2010

Hope everyone is having a wonderful year and that the holidays were filled with family and friends.  We just got back from the Atlanta International Home & Gift show and there was a lot to see this January!!  While it was freezing in Atlanta we were busy trying to visit as many showrooms as humanly possible.  I have to say, as many times as we've been to this show with agenda and plan in hand - the mind gets lost as soon as you walk in the first building.  Once we got our bearings we headed to the "must visit" showrooms and placed orders and also got a close up look and feel of "what's new for 2010".  For the show this year we took a very different approach, we decided to visit many showrooms and "browse" so we could discover where the interest was, what's hot and looked for trends for the coming year.  In the four buildings we were seeing lots of colors and I must say turquoise was everywhere.

After a short mind break we concentrated on looking for new products to add to our offerings.  Entertainment and gift glasses was high on the list and we were very pleased to find a new vendor offering the quality we were looking for and what our customers expect.  This new line, which will soon be on our website soon features wine, martini and mugs for everyday entertaining and for those occasions that require a unique gift!

Speaking of entertaining and gifts...we found a fantastic company (in every respect) that carries aluminum products from jewelry to garden decor.

This gem of a find will fit nicely with our current line  of kitchen decor, serveware and gifts for special occasions.

All of the serveware pieces are easy to care for, food safe and oven safe up to 250 degrees.  If that isn't enough you can even place in your refrigerator and be able to serve crisp, cold salads! 

Pssst...keep checking the website for our new introductions and remember wedding season is just around the corner.

Speaking of aluminum, Arthur Court Designs, now has a selection of Mickey and friends and we're busy adding that to our line and website for all of you "Goofy" Mickey lovers.

Well that's the wrap straight from Atlanta.  Have questions? Want to see something we currently do not carry?  Just ask...we'll do our best.  If you want to keep up with all our latest info become a fan of ours on facebook...until the next post.

Hot Style for any bathroom

Monet Shower Curtain & Bathroom Accessories

I receive a lot of catalogs and attend many trade shows and when I see a collection that grabs my attention immediately I like to share.  Of course if you've been looking at decor sites and receiving catalogs you know all the rave is chocolate brown paired with another color.  For the last two years and still popular is shades of blue with the brown.  The Monet Shower Curtain features elegant stripes of blue and brown that add subtle richness to your bath decor.  Complementing the shower curtain you will find the ceramic accessories include the pattern of the shower curtain and the matching bath towels complete the bathroom ensemble.

While some of you may not like the dark colors it is a great set for a guest bathroom or master bathroom if you've been looking for a collection that will allow her to bring richness to the bathroom and afford him the luxury of taking a shower in a room that is not totally surrounded by feminine florals!  I'm not saying that an arrangement of some kind wouldn't look great on your counter tops just don't go overboard. 

If you're looking for a unique wedding gift for a couple with discriminating taste you can't go wrong with the Monet shower curtain and matching bath accessories. 

Would love to hear your feedback regarding this collection!  Like, Don't Like let me know!  What would you like to see more of?

Unique Gift Baskets

Unique, One-Of-A-Kind Gift Baskets in Elegant Containers

We're happy to announce we will be adding gift baskets to our home decor offerings!  You might ask "what does home decor have to do with gift baskets?"  Great question!  We're taking a whole new twist on traditional gift baskets and creating gifts with home decor items and re-usable containers.  Yes, re-usable baskets - one's you won't want to throw away but will be excited to display and use in your home.

Our designers have been listening to our customers requests and during the last International Home and Gift Show our buyers and designers found unique containers to be used for the baskets.  All of our baskets will be made to order which will allow you to make suggestions or requests for items you would like included in your gift basket.  We will have baskets for any one on your gift list and special occasions like weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and gift baskets for kids.  You will soon see a nice variety of baskets that contain a mixture of home decor and food items, gourmet chocolate baskets and others will be filled with home decor products.  We guarantee you will be excited to give our baskets as gifts and you won't have to feel ashamed of giving one of our baskets to a friend, relative or co-worker!

You can see a small sampling of a few of our designed baskets here. (All baskets are one-of-a-kind therefore no two will ever be exactly the same.)
