Bernhardt Interiors - Gorgeous Chaises and Settees

While perusing interior designer Faith Sheridan's blog, I came across her post "Sit Back & Relax – Gorgeous Chaises and Settees." Sheridan writes

Is there anything more elegant than the chaise longue? Even the name evokes images of ancient Egyptian pharoahs being fanned and fed grapes! As a matter of fact, it is believed that the chaise longue (or long chair) originated in ancient Egypt as a combination daybed and chair.

Her post led me to look at our offerings from Bernhardt Interiors. The reason we are showing these items is that they relate to the items of Faith Sheridan's examples.

A Triple Shot Of Bridget Otto Thursday

Bridget A Otto has outdone herself in today's Homes & Gardens in The Oregonian.


Doug Beghtel, The Oregonian

First, she profiles Don and Sally Wolcott who worked with our friend Faith Sheridan of Faith Sheridan Design Group.  The Wolcotts wanted to update their kitchen cabinets and Sheridan recommended cabinetmaker Mel Archer and suggested finishing touches that the Wolcotts love.  The part I like and could use in our kitchen is the under-cabinet power strip made by Task Lighting.  There never seems to be enough electric outlets in our 1929 home and getting more requires punching holes in the walls.


The Oregonian

Second,  Otto profiles The Joinery on SE Woodstock. For 30 years The Joinery takes hardwood trees and makes distinctive furniture.


By Randy L. Rasmussen, The Oregonian

Third, in Modern Geometry Ian and Tonia Kovtunovich lived in an 800 sq foot home in N Portland and needed more space.  They hired Hiromi Ogawa of Ogawa Fisher Architects to help them with an addition.  The story shows how an architect works with clients.  I love the closet in the mater bedroom.  The head board serves a dual purpose of hiding the closet.  Tonia didn't like closed closet doors.  They give her the creeps.  The do me, too.  Many were the times I went to my second floor bedroom of my parent's home and found the doors to the eaves open.  It gave me the creeps!  The closet idea could work very well in a bedroom that needs more closet space.

Another fine Bridget Otto Thursday.

Free Twitter Power Webinar

Bev & I had a wonderful experience at the ASID Conference and Vendor Fair at The Resort at Welches, meeting designers and industry partners, sharing ideas and ways to build relationships to build our businesses. This morning I opened an email and discovered a webinar on the 7th just about Twitter.

Gail Doby, ASID, on Tuesday, April 7th at 6 pm Eastern, 3 pm Pacific, interviews one of the foremost experts and NY Times best selling author of the Adsense Code, Joel Comm, about his new book, "Twitter Power - How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time".

Sign up for the complimentary webinar Twitter Power Webinar now.

Twitter is the powerful viral marketing tool. As I shared with you, if you aren't using it, you are missing a very important and FREE tool that you can use a few minutes a day to create relationships with people that are looking for your services and new referral partners.

"Imagine if you had cost-efficient and fast marketing tools that met existing customers where they are and that also helped you acquire new customers. Imagine if you had the power to build a network of like-minded peers, a community of shared ideas and creativity. In Twitter Power, Joel Comm provides us with the tools, techniques and benefits for growing our network of resources to create even more fulfilling connections. He shows us the powerful uses of Twitter for brand expansion, building a community that ultimately enriches us personally and professionally and allows us to grow and contribute beyond ourselves." - Anthony Robbins - Author of Unlimited Power and Awaken the Giant Within.

Some people doubt the power of Twitter and think it is a silly communication tool. The majority of Twitter users are savvy adults that know the impact of keeping in touch with people. With today's electronic ADHD, short bursts are more effective than long messages - and Twitter dominates with 140 characters or less.

"If you want to learn what you need to know for your business to profit from Twitter, you will find it in the pages of this excellent guide." - Chet Homes, business consultant and strategist, author of the #1 business bestseller The Ultimate Business Machine

Remember to mark your calendars for the Hands On Start A Blog with Faith Sheridan and Mike Landfair at CFM on April 22nd from 10:00 am to Noon The cost for the two hour meeting is $30 and $10 will be contributed to ASID.
