Wow! What a year we have had. So much thrown our way but we continue to move forward. This brings me to my topic: New beginnings from looks, colors, styles and thoughts. Nothing better than starting a new year with a fresh feel and look for your home.
Some of us will have more to do than others, but every little thing can make a big difference. As you take down Christmas decorations, start to evaluate your furniture. Maybe it’s just a new recliner you need, or a new sleeper sofa. A new coat of paint or a touch-up on the paint color you have now. Little things are everything when decorating.
Don’t be afraid to step out of the box and do something different if it makes you smile at the end of the day. It should be all about you… your style, your color, your home. Make selections that you love but keep in mind SIZE for placement of the room.
Decide if you want reclining or non-reclining; leather, fabric or polyester. Make a list of needs and priorities. It will all start to come together a little at a time.
Stop in Ford’s and let us assist with any question or needs you have. We carry lines such as England, Fairfield Chair, C.R. Laine, Southern Motion, HomeStretch… and the list goes on and on.
