Elevate your home with art: Ai Bo Gallery
Challenge: I moved into a new house and I want to brighten up my living room with art. How can I pick the right piece to elevate the atmosphere?
Solution: Choosing the right art piece can significantly enhance the ambiance of your living room and brighten up your new space. Think about your personal style and your home’s overall décor, whether it’s modern, traditional, eclectic, or minimalist. Choose artwork that includes colors that match or complement your living room’s existing palette. A bold and vibrant piece adds a pop of color to a room with neutral tones. Consider the size of your wall and furniture — a large piece makes a bold statement, while a gallery wall of smaller pieces can create visual interest. What mood do you want to convey? Selecting artwork that has personal meaning or resonates with you and your desired atmosphere is important, whether it’s a piece that reminds you of a special moment or simply brings you joy. Lastly, set a budget. There are options for every budget, from original paintings to prints and more affordable alternatives. Take your time exploring local art markets, galleries, and online planforms until you find the perfect piece that brings joy and personality to your new home.

From blah to spa: Consolidated Plumbing Supply
Challenge: We’re thinking of taking on a bathroom renovation. Do you have any advice?
Solution: It’s important to be aware of your motivation. When most people come to us, they are focused on a space that lacks allure. They envision a room that attracts your eye and grabs your attention. Some are motivated by necessity, others by excitement. Any vision can be created if there’s dedication and persistence behind it. The plumbing world is no different. For example, a bathroom starts with a simple piece of tile and a faucet handle to turn the water on. The dream is created with elegant colors, carefully crafted cabinetry, and the staff to support your imagination.

Finding fine furnishings that fit: Country Willow
Challenge: I’m thinking of taking advantage of a good deal I found online for a sectional sofa. Is this a good idea?
Solution: While it’s very tempting to take advantage of the convenience and favorable pricing you may sometimes find on the Internet, making substantial furniture purchases can be tricky. It’s fine to use an online resource to get decorating ideas, but you want to make sure you’re investing in the furniture pieces that are the best for your home and specific space. Buying your sectional at a brick and mortar store like Country Willow, allows you to actually see the furniture piece, touch it, experience it, and understand the customized options before purchasing. Our complimentary design services can help you determine whether the sectional will fit comfortably in your designated space and fit well with your home’s décor. And remember, if your online purchase is not a good fit, returning it will be more complicated than returning a piece of clothing.

Maximize comfort: Henry B. Whitaker Garage Doors
Challenge: The bedroom and bathroom above our garage door are so cold during the winter and sweltering during the summer. What can I do?
Solution: Believe it or not, the best way to solve this problem is to install an insulated garage door. Not only will an insulated garage door keep you comfortable, but it can also help you save on energy costs. When the garage door isn’t insulated, warm air is allowed to escape in winter and isn’t prevented from coming in during the summer. Unlike the past, when garage doors were an afterthought, they’re now getting the attention of a front door that can make the look of your home more aesthetically appealing. We customize garage doors for each home and homeowner. Our large variety of doors ensures something for everyone — choices that fit every style and every budget.

Selecting best projects to tackle during winter: Williams Lumber & Home Centers
Challenge: What is a good home improvement project to tackle during the winter timeframe?
Solution: If you¹re looking for a quick refresh, nothing beats a new coat of paint. The peaceful, blue-green hue of Aegean Teal featured is Benjamin Moore’s 2021 color of the year. “While beautiful, venturing into bold, saturated colors like Aegean Teal can be an intimidating step,” says Kim Williams, Vice President of Retail Operations at Williams Lumber & Home Centers. As an authorized retailer of Benjamin Moore, Williams paint associates are trained to assist customers on how to seamlessly incorporate bold paint color into their homes. “To stay close to home this season, I recommend downloading the Benjamin Moore’s Color Portfolio app. There you can test and select paint color, order online, and pick up at our closest location.”
