Bassett KOP featuring Hunter Douglas and a Full Wolf Moon.

Image
Happy Day everyone. Dating back to the 1930s, the Farmers' Almanac began publishing what it said were Native American names for each full moon and the names have stood the test of time. On January 13th, this particular full moon is called the Wolf Moon due to the "packs of wolves heard howling outside the villages amid the cold and deep snows of winter," according to NASA. Which is good news because our Hunter Douglas Powerview Silhouette and Pirouette Custom Window Shades are not only on Sale but there is a $75.00 rebate when you purchase between 4 and ten shades. This will not only provide layers of sound buffering beauty but several levels of privacy also. It's probably best to call or email first to make sure that we have quality time to provide to you and please...bring in approximate window dimensions for general pricing. Thank you and we look forward to howling from you. Jim Clarey JPClarey@BassettFurniture.Com

Stages of Interior design

Image
The Five Stages of Interior Design include: Concept Development The first stage, where the designer develops a preliminary design concept that meets the client's needs after a brief duscussion of funtion, budget, timeline and steps. Design Development A creative, problem-solving phase where the designer develops a comprehensive design solution and space plans. Schematic Design A collaborative phase where the designer creates a design schematic to help the client envision the room and pictures specific pieces. Design Proposal The designer presents the concept of the future design in mood boards, sketches, elevation plans, samples and in my case, Old School Powerpoint. Construction The most time-intensive phase, where any construction or renovation work takes place, if necessary. If not, ready...set...go! Jim Clarey 610-337-1249 JPClarey@BassettFurniture.Com P.S.

Hallowe'en, Origins and Bassett-Oh, my!

Image
Halloween's origins can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. The Celts believed that the boundary between the living and the dead was at its thinnest on the night of Samhain , and that the spirits of the dead would return to earth. To symbolize the end of the harvest, they included apples, pumpkins, or other fall crops. Hallowe'en also marked the end of Summer and the beginning of Winter, but here in Chester County, PA it is sunny and 82 degrees. It also marked the end of Harvest, but I have to say- The grocery store was packed! Today/this evening may not be the perfect time to visit Bassett King of Prussia and make your home furnishing selections ( even tho' our current Sale is mostly better than 30$ off ) but there is (usually) always tomorrow. Unless, well... let's not go there. This sale ends Sunday, 11/3/2024. So, Happy Dia de las Brujas

Autumn Designs/Changing Pines

Image
Hi again and thanks for coming inside from raking to read this post. Bassett is currently having a 20% off sale on just about everything we carry. Do you have a need to change your interior/exterior furnishings or color scheme? Why not? Even trees do at this time of year. As the Holidays approach, many see their Dining Spaces as tired and in need of a refreshening. We carry Dining Tables, Chairs and Servers in Oak, Maple and Cherry and in many styles, shapes and sizes...just like trees. So stop in for a refresher or completely re-do your spaces. Enough about Interior Design. Let's talk Pine Trees. You may ask (or just pretend that you did so as not to ruin the flow of my Blog Post) Do any pine trees change color in the fall? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The old needles of red pines, for instance, will turn a deep copper color before falling, while white pines and pitch pines take on a lighter, golden color. Changing conifer (cone bearing trees) colors can also be the sign of...

Am I Blue?

Image
As with most colors in color theory, the color blue has both positive and negative connections. With a sense of calm, relaxation, trust, loyalty and authority, the positive highlights convey a sense of honesty, commitment, serenity and peace. The negative effects of blue convey fragility, depression, predictability and even coldness. In design, the exact shade of blue you select will have a huge impact on how your designs are perceived. Light blues are often relaxed and calming. Bright blues can be energizing and refreshing. Dark blues, like navy, are excellent for corporate sites or designs where strength and reliability are important. Bassett has just introduced many new, durable and attractive fabrics for our upholstery lines as well as a soft, almost suede-like blue leather called Sophia which lends itself to both calming and dominant color palettes.
