Five Rules to break....

Five Rules to Break

“Don’t paint a small room a dark color.” A deep, rich color in a small room can be a great
way to
enhance and embrace a feeling of coziness.
“Don’t mix your woods.” According to the old school of thought, every wood tone in a room
should match with the same finish. A more casual and eclectic approach is to mix things up,
even with two finishes, like black and antique oak, on the same piece.
“Don’t leave your windows bare.” It’s okay to have naked windows, just so long as you
don’t stand naked in front of them. You can keep an open airy feeling in your room and
highlight the view by keeping your window dressings to a minimum, or by forgetting them
altogether.
“Match your nightstands.” Nightstands are not socks, and they don’t necessarily have to
match each other. You can personalize your bedroom to match the personalities of you
and your partner by using different nightstands on each side of the bed.
“Don’t put a big piece of furniture in a small room.” Putting a large cabinet in a small
room can create the illusion that it is a built-in part of the architecture.

About LANE Furniture

 
Company Overview
It was March 1912, and a man named John Lane had purchased a box plant in Altavista, Virginia. His son Ed Lane, twenty-one at the time and with little manufacturing experience, was encouraged by his father to try his hand at starting a chest factory in the newly acquired plant. Since the Lanes didn't know how successful their new venture was going to be, they didn't want to put their name on it, so they incorporated the little company as the Standard Red Cedar Chest Company, with John Lane as President and Ed Lane as Vice President and General Manager. From cedar chests, Lane expanded to occasional tables in 1951, case goods in 1956, and accent pieces in 1965.

In 1972, Lane bought a small reclining chair company in Tupelo, Mississippi named Action Industries. Action Industries was founded in 1970 by Bo Bland and Mickey Holliman. Action sustained tremendous growth through gains in market share and product diversification over the next 20 years becoming a major force in the upholstered furniture industry. Today, the wood and upholstered divisions have become Lane Home Furnishings. Lane Furniture Industries is owned by Furniture Brands International which also owns other well known brand name companies... Broyhill, Thomasville, Drexel Heritage and Maitland Smith.

Accessorizing Quick Tips

Accessorizing Quick Tips 
If you allow Spencer Furniture's
Design Specialist to assist you, we promise you
wont be disappointed.

Cluster objects to create a related table-top scene.
Vary the height of the objects you are working with.
You can add height by placing some objects on top attractive books
laying on the surface.
Work with odd numbers of objects: 3, 5, or 7. This makes the eye
travel over triangular paths, creating visual interest.
Symmetrical arrangements are more formal in nature; asymmetrical 
arrangements are more casual.
Pay attention to scale. Make sure your objects are not too small or too
big for the area in which they are being displayed.

Decorating for Spring

Decorating for Spring When the snow melts and the first crocus begin to bloom, you know it's time to start decorating for spring. When you think spring, think nature, charm, and change from dark colors to bright colors and you'll be on the right track. Adding something from nature always puts the season in perspective. Twigs of forsythia, pussy willow or bulb flowers are the perfect accent. Use your favorite pitcher or vase for the twigs; for the bulb flowers try using the whole plant, either fresh or silk in a beautiful piece of crockery or in a terra cotta pot. Along the nature theme, bring out all of the bunnies, birds or baby animal collections you have. If your items are of the same size and shape, try elevating a few of the items with books (children's' books would work especially well). Putting Easter or spring books in a plate rack or standing them up on a tabletop in front of these collections would make a charming table scape. Along with our collections, spring is the time for lighter, brighter colors. Shades of pink, yellow or lime green will put you in the spring frame of mind. Consider a glass bowl or beautiful platter with a spring colored candle in the middle, surrounded by pastel colored glass pebbles. Look for new accessories of pillows and table runners to liven up your rooms. Also consider trading out a darker, wintry looking rug for a brighter "spring colored" rug. With all of these changes, walking into your "new" room will be like a breath of fresh spring air!
