Industrial Chic

While the term “Industrial Chic” may at first conjure up visions of something mass made and sterile, this trend is anything but, instead focused on items that have a sense of history dating back to the early 1900’s when the industrial age first began. Metal plays a big part of the style with machined iron and steel paired with unfinished wood for a look that is delightfully nostalgic. 

What's great about this look is that you can add just one or tow key pieces to a transitional room to inject the unexpected. This metal pendant light as seen in the photo below. This cool vintage light gives a rustic yet utilitarian style to the decor.

You find metal seating used primarily in Industrial Chic designs. This gives the room a rustic yet masculine twist on seating. 

Christmas is Around the Corner

Only 46 Days Till Christmas!

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays throughout the year, because all the family comes home to celebrate with us. I love the whole holiday, however I'm not a big fan of shopping during the holidays. The stores and the roads all always so packed. Therefore this year I have vowed to do all of my Christmas shopping online. It's easy and convenient to order online and just have it delivered directly to the person, plus it takes out the hassle of going to the post office. Below is a list of online retailers that we love to cover everyone on your list :

1. Furniture 7-towers.com 

2. Shoes http://www.zappos.com/

3. Clothing http://www.6pm.com/clothing

Shopping Online Has Never Been Easier

Orlando, FL October 2012

Orlando-based Interior Design firm, Morrone Interiors, announced the official launch of their online store http://7-towers.com/  . Unlike most online furniture stores, 7-Towers online shopping experience allows customers the opportunity to take advantage of their E-Design program in which the customer would work directly with an Interior Designer who would space plan and create 3D renderings of the customer’s floor plan prior to the customer placing an order for furniture. This helps take all of the guess work out of purchasing online.

7-Towers is built on the premise that everyone deserves a well styled home. Online shoppers have a vast selection from traditional to ultramodern all in one place. As veterans in the interior design field they have had years of experience in creating beautiful rooms, each item listed on http://7-towers.com/ has personally been selected by their team of designers. 7-Towers offers a new accessible way for everyone to have a room styled by a designer at an affordable price.

7-Towers showcases over 10,000 items, from art and accessories, mirrors, and lighting, to furniture and rugs they have it all. With a website that is easy to navigate and HD images it is an online shoppers paradise.

“Today’s customers are looking for high quality furniture at affordable prices,” said Audrey Martinez, who serves as the Creative Director of 7-Towers. “I have worked with many clients over the years that become overwhelmed when trying to decorate a space on their own, they feel at ease when they have an Interior Designer doing the work for them.”

As part of their launch http://7-towers.com/ is offering 10 percent off every item in their entire store thru November 15, 2012. (coupon code:Launch10)

What Are Your Thoughts On Online Shopping?

Last week our company launched its new online store http://7-towers.com/ and we have been more than excited with the turnout of visitors to the site.
So a great big Thank You to all of you have visited http://7-towers.com/.

With that said today several of our staff started discussing what they would and wouldn't purchase online, I for one like to purchase almost everything online. I love the ease of clicking and the friendly smile of my UPS man when the item is delivered. I love that even with the most mundane item I have the excitement of a child at Christmas when I am unwrapping it.

Of course not everyone in my office felt the same, and I would have to somewhat agree with some of their points. Stephanie had the point that sometimes shoes could be challenging, once she said that I quickly remembered my mad search to find and purchase Hunter Wellies over the summer. I spent hours upon hours looking for the shoes only to order, get them and have them be way too big. I've had the opposite when I have ordered heels and they come in too small.

Overall everyone in our office agreed that purchasing online is the way to go, it's easy, convenient and saves so much time, and lets face it who has the time any more to go to ten stores looking for one item; that in itself can take up a Saturday.

We want to know how you feel about online shopping and some of the things you love about and some of the challenges that you've had with it. Your thoughts are important to us and we want to mold
http://7-towers.com/ to fit the needs of the consumer. So if you have time comment back and let us know your thoughts we would really love it. Also if you have had a chance to visit http://7-towers.com/ let us know your thoughts on the site.

Thanks,

Audrey
