Envision Emerald In Your Home

I found these inspiring images on Pinterest.

Emerald is versatile and can be paired with cool colors. . .

I love me some houndstooth!

I love everything about the picture below. The emerald chevron stripe is stunning, but my favorite part is the emerald pillow with greek key trim. 

Which is your favorite? Where can you see emerald in your home? 

GT Winner and How To Keep Your Outdoor Decor Stain and Water Repellent

How To Keep Your Outdoor Fabrics Stain and Water Repellent to last many years.

What characterizes an outdoor fabric is its ability to repel stains, water and fading from the sun. This is done in manufacturing by using synthetic fibers and also a chemical treatment that causes water to bead when it lands on the fabric. This beading allows water to easily roll of the fabric thereby avoiding mildew and stains. But this chemical treatment in the fabric can break down over time. Here are some ways to keep your outdoor fabrics in shape and functioning for many years!

When your outdoor pieces are dry shake out the loose dirt often. Dirt aids in the breaking down of the chemical treatment.

Hose down the fabrics to remove any other lose dirt. A general wash of hosing down the fabrics should be done at least once a month.

Only allow to air dry. Do not wash and dry in a washing machine and dryer. 

The most important thing is keep the lose dirt off. So be sure to shake out your fabrics as often as possible. Vacuuming is also very helpful every once in a while.

I learned from ehow.com that you turn any indoor fabric into outdoor fabric by first applying a waterproof spray and then reinforcing that by blow drying the curtain with a hair drying on its highest setting until fabric is dry. 

Here are some outdoor fabric recommendations.

January Sponsor Families

January Sponsor Families

This month we will be sponsoring the families of the victim’s of the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy.

Normally throughout the month I do several posts on our sponsor families, but I will not be doing that this month as it makes me physically ill to even think about this senseless act having a five year old son, myself.  So I will just be doing this one post to let you know that $5 of every order placed this month is going to this cause.

On occasion I get the kind and selfless patrons who wish to donate more to our sponsor families or match our donation. But I am going to include a link to where we will be donating the funds to at the end of the month and if you are one of those people that wish to do a little more you can do it through this link instead of through me.

Newtown.uwwesternct.org

We will return to our regular sponsor families and write ups, etc next month.

Please feel free to use the coupon FREESHIP for free shipping on your next order with us. This coupon applies to domestic purchases only and is good on shipping amounts up to $30.

We appreciate you all for your business and those who offer encouraging words through comments on our blogs to our sponsor families. Thank you all!
