Decorators Turn To Stone Surfaces For Elegance

March 6, 2012 – 8:28 am

It’s not hard to see why stone surfaces add a look of refinement and elegance in home décor. Stone can complement virtually any type of interior design or outdoor landscaping. While stone flooring, exposed brick walls and exterior stone walkways are pleasing to the eye, the price of real stone may be out of reach for many family budgets. Happily, new manufacturing techniques are now producing specialty coatings that look and feel like authentic stone inlays, at a fraction of the real-stone price.

One of these high-quality decorative stone coatings, E-Z Stone from Henry Company, provides the same look and feel of granite, quartz and other stone surfaces without breaking the bank. The stone coating can beautify aged concrete surfaces such as walkways, steps, garage floors, patios and pool surrounds, as well as resurface that old worn-out kitchen countertop, all of which are costly to replace. These decorative coatings can also be personalized with the use of E-Z Stone Pattern Stencils to create the effect and look of real-stone tile inlays and interlocking bricks. read more »

Eiderdown, For a Princely Sum You Can Sleep Like Royalty

February 9, 2012 – 6:38 am

Unlike goose down where there are tons available in the world, there are only a few thousand pounds of Eiderdown produced each year. This wild bird from far northern regions like Iceland, Canada and Scotland lines the nest with the down, the soft undercoating from the breast. When the nest has been abandoned the down is harvested and cleaned. Eiderdown today comes from farms where the birds are protected. Due to recent popularity of Eiderdown, it is in short supply and so the price has increased significantly.

The Eider duck lives in a very cold climate and so the down clusters have powerful thermal properties. An Eiderdown comforter is super lightweight yet can keep you toasty warm in winter, with the windows open. It is also cool and comfortable in summer. The ultra breathable Swiss cotton batiste is woven especially for Eiderdown and is incredibly light and silky soft. An Eiderdown pillow is soft, but medium can be achieved by using an inner core of premium goose down, or you can use all Eiderdown, but this will be quite an expensive pillow. read more »
