What’s HOT in the Home?
Whether you are looking for new furniture for a special room indoors,
accessories to spruce up the outdoors or some fun products to help
with entertaining, we’ve got you covered. Here are some great ideas
to inspire you.
Spring Means Color
One-of-A-Kind Furniture
Sometimes you have an idea, a pretty good
idea, of furniture that you want for your home.
You’ve got a particular space that needs a
specific size for your dining or farm table, a flatscreen
television stand, bathroom sink or maybe
a hutch or sideboard. Period reproduction,
custom made furniture is an affordable solution.
Your piece can be designed to your specs, built
in the wood of your choice, and finished in a
distressed paint or stain. To learn more and see
examples, visit Cockeysville Country Store,

Give your sunroom or family room a splash of color
with bold red cushions and pillows on a gorgeous,
yet comfortable rattan or wicker chair. Fun colors like
blues, limes, yellows and raspberry are popping up
on furniture showroom floors, and wicker and rattan
furniture is perfect for vacation and beach homes.

Mixing and matching patterns is huge this year,
just flip through any magazine. Not sure you are
up for the challenge? Belle Patri can help with
its newest line – Hen House Linens. These linens

be tricky. Drink-N-Plate is a durable reusable, dishwashersafe

outdoor and indoor settings. Held with one hand, the

Brighten Up the Outside
After a long winter, everyone can’t wait to get
outside! Brighten up your deck, porch or patio with
a beautiful, stain resistant Out-Durable area rug. You
won’t be able to resist the brilliant colors and patterns
of these braided rugs. These stylish, easy-care rugs
work wonderfully in high-traffic areas indoors, too.

Wine Glasses for the Un-Plain Jane
Lani Designs hand-painted glassware is for those who
prefer bold over blah. They inspire fun times with
good friends, and can turn an ordinary get together
or date night with a DVD into something special!
Every single glass is painted by hand, by a real person.
They’re then dried and fired in a design studio in
