Ceiling Scenes is a company that makes custom ceiling tiles that create a scene on the ceiling.  The fiberglass tiles with the picture on the outside replace the cover that would normally go over the fluorescent light.  It creates a warm inviting atmosphere in a commercial setting and in doctor's offices it gives the patient something to focus on when lying back in the chair.  This company has an exclusive contract with National Geographic photos and they can put scenes from Where's Waldo on the ceiling.  This is a fun company that brings a softer side to healthcare.

We asked our admin Amber what she liked this month and she said the Omipod by Cranberryclouds

Designed after the conventional beanbag chair, the Omipod (pronounced 'Oh My Pod') is a more stylish, permanent piece of furniture than the original beanbag. With or without legs, the base is very durable and can be covered in a variety of leathers and fabrics. The Omipod can be ordered bare, with a base cushion and throw pillows, or a good old fashioned beanbag filled with 100% recycled material. Designed with drainage holes underneath, cover the cushion in Sunbrella canvas or Weathermax and this comfy seat is ready to go outdoors! Put your feet up on the matching ottoman, grab a book and enjoy the rest of the summer!

The LiteRise Vignette has transformed the world of roman shades. This shade is a cordless system that is controlled by slightly pulling down on the bottom and slightly pushing up on the bottom to move it up. There are no visible cords in the back of the shade therefore it meets the new child safety standards. It has a roman shade look on the front and there are many fabric styles to choose from. It is extremely easy to use and it's family friendly.

Jewelry for your Window Treatments!!! Clip them on your new window treatments for added bling or use them to add a couture element to your existing ones.

Tracy's Big Idea

More and more people are selecting hard flooring surfaces now then ever before. Meaning people prefer hardwood floors over carpeting because the value it adds to the home and it will last longer. Therefore, people are buying area rugs for comfort next to the furniture but they can still see the floor next to it. An area rug is a great way to add pattern and color into the room. If you feel like the space is missing some flare, a colorful rug or one that has an interesting pattern can add some focus and intrigue. Personally I have a love for animal prints so I chose a great animal print that has an aged look and would be very eye catching for a room that needs some spice. Get in touch with your wild side.

WINTER… FIREPLACES… need I say more?

The seasons have long since changed and we are all settling in for a cold winter’s grasp, we begin to gather by the fireside which lends itself for reminiscing about the past or being consumed by future endeavors.  Fireplaces have been (excuse the pun) hot and around the globe and we are seeing an array of distinctive looks.
