Now that spring is officially here, there is no better way to embrace the warm weather than by adding a new ceiling fan to your home. This year, opt for high function and unmatched style with 2012 trends that are sure to keep you cool all summer long. According to Lynda Gould, Lamps Plus design expert and Corporate Interior Design Manager, quality is key when choosing a new ceiling fan. Here are some helpful hints for selecting the right fan from Lynda and the other experts at Lamps Plus.

Hugger/Low Profile

It is no secret that consumers are trading in their large, suburban homes for trendy urban lofts, condos, and apartments. Gould says that With this shift toward small-space living, there has been a surge in the number of fan designs that cater to this type of room space. She suggests using hugger and low profile ceiling fans for smaller living spaces. These styles have a smaller blade span and dont hang very far from the ceiling, making them ideal for small rooms or rooms with low ceilings, notes Gould.

Design-Your-Own

They say that when you truly love something, it never goes out of style. At Lamps Plus, you can design your own ceiling fan that is the perfect representation of your style and d

George Ioannou

Since George Ioannou arrived on the art scene as a self published artist over a decade ago, he has been credited for making his style of artwork an acceptable and collectable technique within the market. This has spawned a whole generation of artists applying his style to walls and canvas all over the world.

Making it in to the top ten best selling living artists in 2007 was a huge and unheard of achievement for a self-published artist but Ioannou puts this down to exploiting a gap in the market that wasnt connecting with a certain group of society at the time.

Ioannous style has been created by a mixture of Andy Warhol and Comic book artists of the 80s. Infusing these styles helped Ioannou come up with his style and projected him into the art market as the collectable artist he is today.

However, a new decade ushers in new concepts for Ioannou, and 2012 sees him move his creative flare into the fashion and furniture industries with the objective of offering alternative concepts for the discerning and creative part of our ever changing society.

Important 20th Century Modern, Rare Lamps, and Art Glass Sale at Kaminski Auctions, Beverly, Massachusetts

Kaminski Auctions of Beverly, Ma will host its inaugural 20th Century Art Glass and Modern Design Sale on March 25th, Sunday starting at 10:00 am. Nathan Russell, Kaminskis new modern expert has pulled together a stunning collection of 20th century furniture and art while an important private collection of Art Deco Schneider and La Verre Francis glass amassed over 40 years from all over the world, by a prominent Boston collector will be the feature of this sale.

The art glass collection is truly special with something for every serious collector. The most sought after of pieces of Le Verre Francais have trees, animals, fish or geometric shapes. In 1995 Gerard Bertrand published the first book on La Verre Francais entitled Schneider Maitre Verrier. This book was the first to educate collectors on the many different designs that existed, but not all of them. Sadly, the first editions were available only in French and not until much later was an abbreviated text in English even published. Known as cameo glass, it was produced by the Schneider glassworks company in Epinay-sur Seine from about 1918 through 1933.

Each piece in this collection bears the signature blue, white and red candy cane and is guaranteed authentic and of the period. The pieces are large, rare and have the unusual shapes coveted by knowledgable collectors.

There are many lamps in addition to the vases, the top lot being a La Verre Francais, cameo glass table lamp with the Ferns or Ash Tree pattern, base signed with blue, white and red candy cane mark. It stands 16 inches high and 9

The new Riven Oak Farm Bench takes its place next to some of Indigo Furnitures most loved and classic pieces. The furniture company originally only used plank furniture for their designs but decided to expand their range to include Oak Furniture after demand from customers who already loved their plank furniture designs. The collection was launched in the Summer of 2011 and was given the name Riven Oak after a competition which asked customers and Indigo Furniture Fans to come up with a suitable name for the collection.

It was crucial to Indigo that the designs, finish and Oak itself were of the same high quality that they were already producing for not only the new dining room table but the entire range. To achieve this they spent a long time sourcing materials, designing and restoring a 1930s ripsaw which would eventually go on to leave the wood with the markings from the manufacturing process. Unlike other furniture designers who sand these markings away to create identical pieces of furniture, Indigo do the opposite and celebrate and revel in the unique individuality of each piece and the manufacturing markings which give the pieces that effect.

The dining room table itself looks similar to traditional farmhouse tables, famous for their thick tops and solid beams that make up the workspace but as with everything else that Indigo Furniture turn their hand to they have put their own unique spin on it. Keeping to one of their key values of only using the very highest quality of materials led them to the Baltic Coast where a family run saw mill was producing beautiful pieces of oak from a forest which was managed in an economically and environmentally friendly way.

Indigo Furniture take random sized pieces of the Oak and cut them to the exact sizes they need for the table so that no piece exactly matches, adding to the unique style, design and individuality that Indigo are famous for. The table is the perfect place for dining with friends and family and is guaranteed to be in every family home for years to come due to the impressive 15 year guarantee that Indigo Furniture give to all of their products. Due to the quality of both the workmanship and materials Indigo offer this impressive guarantee as a standard which serves as a constant reminder of the confidence they have in their craftsmanship and the reason why they are synonymous with quality.

The Riven Oak Farm Table can be paired with a new Riven Oak Farm Bench on either side to complete the stylish rustic look. Alternatively, it can be matched with one of Indigos extensive range of stunning Wooden, Fabric or Leather dining chairs. Whatever your choice we are sure that this new dining table will become an instant classic in the Indigo Furniture range of Oak and Plank designs.
