What's New

In the not so distant past, home office space meant a giant desk designed with special doors and drawers for papers, a bulky computer tower, a land-line phone and plenty of pens and paper. Now, with the every changing advancements in technology, many of our office needs have changed. Many clients with home offices only need a small desk for their cell phone, tablet or laptop.

Sizing down your office or creating a new one can be a pleasure with these desks from Mobel, a manufacturer with solid wood products proudly made in the USA.

Sunday is Earth Day, so it seem like the perfect time to talk about recycling.

I know that shopping for a sofa can sometimes feel like a giant ordeal. I talk to many clients who have searched all over for their perfect sofa only to feel frustration in the process. To them I say, “Try the Thornton from Flexsteel.”

To me the Thornton is the Goldilocks of sofas. Remember how Goldilocks tried seats in the Three Bears house only to find one “too soft” or “too hard”? Well to me the Thornton is the seat that is “just right”. The style is simple but stylish; nothing that is soon to be dated looking. The seat depth is neither to deep nor too narrow. The quality of construction is superb. The Thornton looks fabulous dressed in many different fabric coverings. And, best of all, it’s available in a variety of pieces, including a chair, sofa, sectional and more.

Have a seat on the Thornton at Bullerdicks and see what you think.

Here’s what to expect from the Market Style report on trends from the High Point Market:

OLD HOLLYWOOD “Nostalgic looks ruled the fashion runways and are stepping into the homes in glamorous fashion, inspired by old Hollywood.

(custom fabric headboards from Broyhill)

MID-CENTURY MEANS MODERN “Designs from the middle ages (otherwise known as the center of the 20th century) continue to inspire with classic and comforting references.

(Suede dresser and mirror from Broyhill)

WOODWORKING “Designers are able to shift wood shapes into curvaceous forms, and use its whorls and planks as inspiration for other materials like leather and Lucite.

(Lattice cocktail from Flexsteel)

ON THE BUBBLE “Design is taking a circular route, makes swirls and polka dots pop in flat or 3-D form”

(Hathaway cocktail from Flexsteel)

VERY VENETIAN “There is a Renaissance in Italian inspiration, referencing centuries-old architecture and romantic Mediterranean themes.”

(Petrizzi mirror by Uttermost)

TRIBAL RHYTHMS “Patterns from native cultures continue to inspire fashions for clothing and furnishings, with the nomadic trend shifting to Navajo, Moroccan and Scandinavian designs.”

I’m welcoming the rain this weekend. Why? Because I know I need to spend some time in my garden pulling what has become a bumper crop of all varieties of weeds.

I may be crazy, but I think some weeds are beautiful. Dandelions take me back to my youngest of days. I remember tying their sticky stems into long chains. And the violets, which are slowly trying to takeover my back yard, make the sweetest of mini bouquets.

I only hope that the rain doesn’t knock down the vivid pink flowers from my dogwood tree. It brightens each morning as I eat my cereal and enjoy the  view out of my kitchen window.

At Bullerdick’s, I’ve been a bit obsessed with floral motifs, too. Solid colored sofas have been awakened with just a touch of flowers and vines on their throw pillows.

My latest favorite is the “Emily” from Broyhill.

I love the combination of stripes and florals. When the mood changes, the throw pillows can easily be switched out and the clean and simple sofa would take on an entirely different look.

Hope your weekend is a great one!

We’ve made a new friend and his name is Brutus. He’s big and powerful, but a real softy at heart. He’s the type that you’d like to spend a lot of time with. We’d like for you to meet him.

New from La-Z-Boy is “Brutus”. The largest of our La-Z-Boy recliner collection. He is wide, tall and handsome. Just the type of guy you’d like to take home.

This Easter Bunny deserves a comfortable rest from work.

Many of us are rushing around this week. Whether you are getting ready for guests, planning a holiday dinner or just keeping up with your everyday activities, you deserve a comfortable sleeping area too.

At Bullerdick’s you’ll find that we have one of the areas largest bedding collections from Serta. If you have shopped for Serta mattresses recently, you know about all of the choices and innovations. But if you haven’t, please accept my invitation to stop in and see and try what’s new.

Serta’s cool comfort gel mattress has changed the way many of us sleep. Now they have expanded their mattress offerings to include gel and inner springs together (Serta Perfect Day iSeries). It’s another choice in comfort. Click HERE to read more about the mattress and stop in to test theses new beds.

The flowering trees, like this Magnolia, have outdone themselves to decorate the outdoors with washes of color. Indiana has had an amazing Spring. (but we won’t mention allergies…achoo,achoo)

Mother Nature is often my inspiration to bring color indoors.

2012 has been all about adding a touch of color in our homes. After years of neutrals, beige and brown is been accented with a splash of life. Pick your favorite color or a signature hue and invite it into your room.

I’ve been saving these photos from a blog from Brisbane, Australia (Absolutely Beautiful Things) that celebrates the colorful life. What do you think? Are you ready for color?

In my book, you’re never too old to dye a few Easter eggs.

These are perfect for my husband. He loves the game “Angry Birds”. ( How about you? Have you ever played it? Once you start, it’s hard to stop.)

I used to crack more than a few eggs when I hard boiled them, but thanks to Martha Stewart’s directions, I now do a better job. The secret is taking the eggs off of the heat once they start boiling.

Don’t worry if you crack a few egg shells, just peel them. You’ll have a tasty side dish for Easter dinner.

Hope you have fun. Send me a photo of your decorated eggs, I’d like to see them.
