SHADOW PLAY by Lexington
T
he trend in interior design continues to move in a decidedly contemporary direction while lifestyle aspirations are becoming increasingly casual. The juxtaposition creates a unique opportunity for a fresh approach to styling that blends elements of both. Shadow Play features clean lines, a relaxed taupe-gray finish, contemporary hand-forged metal designs in burnished silver leaf and soft textural fabrics on custom upholstered seating. The result is a sophisticated take on casual contemporary style. There is an urban edge to the design aesthetic that makes a strong statement, while the casual finish and relaxed fabrics offer elegant restraint.
Living Room (see picture below) Neutral color palettes are unique in their ability to create a restful and relaxing environment. In design today, ivory, taupe and gray are the go-to neutrals offering a sophisticated, balanced and inviting look. Note how the ivory texture on the Chronicle sofa complements the Shadow Mist finish on the Tatum cocktail table. The result is contemporary styling with a casual vibe. Nest Featherings invites you to come and explore the warm, inviting, approachable look of Shady Play by Lexington and other fine manufacturers. Nest Featherings is located at 6425 W. Sahara Ave. in Las Vegas. You can call them at 702-362-6707 and see their website at www.nest-featherings.com. See their ad on the back cover.
Dining Room (see picture above) A prerequisite for dining today is the flexibility to configure the furnishings to accommodate an intimate group as well as a large gathering. The Concorde dining table features a contemporary parson’s design with two 20-inches, offering comfortable seating for ten. The Metro arm and side chairs offer exceptional style and dining comfort, with upholstered seats and horizontal channel backs at the lumbar height.

NEW INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS
I
FOR 2017
nterior design will see big changes for 2017. Never before have there been so may exciting elements from which to choose. If you are looking for a new look for your home interior, modern, modern, modern is the way to go this year! For the most part, traditional design has seen its day and will not be back for a while. But, for those of you who still like this style, the good news is that traditional materials such as terra cotta tiles are making a comeback! However, these more modern terra cotta tiles will be less rustic and smoother in nature. You will see them on entire walls, creating warm backdrops for a cozy feel. Look for rusty browns to also emerge. Raw earthy and textural materials are on their way back. The cool and icy look of white and gray marble will begin to phase out and design will lean back towards warmer tones in 2017. The return of cork from the 60’s has been a minor player in recent years, but it will gain in popularity in wall coverings, furnishings, flooring and accents.

Color. The brief visit by pastels will be replaced with jewel tones. Deep purples and rich, dark greens are on the forefront. You will see emerald green replacing blues and emerging as one of the strongest colors in 2017. This can be used as a minor color accent with deep impact and will mix well with burnished metals, fur and tan leather. Welcome it as a color that will bring the outdoors inside. Copper and rose gold will disappear, and in their place will come richer burnished golds and darker metals. Steel and its relation to the industrial look are going to continue to be strong in 2017. On a lighter note, look for Lucite, raw-cut quartz and other natural rocks and geodes to add sparkle and texture. Drapery fabrics will be more sheer with less weight, adding a light and airy look to balance the heavier colors and darker metals. In addition, lighting has exploded and become one of the most daring and interesting pieces in a home. Are you looking for a new direction for your home in 2017?

Make a Statement WITH RECLAIMED WOOD SHUTTERS
S
hutters have always brought beauty, style and functionality to the décor of the home. But no company has ever offered them in reclaimed wood before. After much research and development, Sunburst Shutters is introducing the “firstever” plantation shutter made from certified reclaimed wood. These environmentally-friendly shutters feature weathered wood harvested from rustic old buildings, barns and fences across America that may have otherwise been dumped in a landfill. This weathered look combines the beauty of the outdoors, connecting with nature and history. Each shutter component is unique in color and appearance. You can see the natural curvature, holes, marks and color variations that are hallmarks of this upcycled reclaimed wood window treatment. Designing with reclaimed wood shutters is easy and goes with any type of décor. Pair the shutters with a modern sofa and minimalist décor, and you have a contemporary living room. Or go for more of a vintage look with a tufted couch and walls lined with bookcases. No matter how you combine your

UPDATE YOUR KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS Without the Expense and Hassle of a Complete Remodel
T
he kitchen serves as a focal point of a home, it is the room where the entire family gathers and entertains. And the cabinetry is the most eyecatching part of the kitchen. Are your cabinets showing wear or are simply outdated, not reflecting the current style and color you wish they would? Signature® Cabinet Refacing is an alternative to replacing your cabinets, providing the look of entirely new cabinets at a mere fraction of the cost of new cabinetry. You can choose from thousands of different combinations of door styles, wood species, stains, glazes, and hardware. Keeping your existing cabinet frames fully intact, a factoryfinished ¼” thick beautiful and durable veneer is bonded atop them, then new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware are installed. Along with refacing your bathroom cabinets, there is a wide array of options available to transform your bathroom using the existing space. A walk in bathtub can make life simpler and safer. You just walk right in, close the door behind you, and fill up the tub. And when you are done, the water will drain quickly, and soon after, you will be able to stand up and walk right out the same way you walked in. With a tub to shower conversion, you won’t have to step over the side of the tub anymore and can still enjoy streams of water flowing from the shower head rather then filling up the tub. Whether you would like to learn more about Signature® Cabinet Refacing, or are interested in updating your bathroom, you can call Reborn Bath Solutions a division of Reborn Cabinets, Inc. at 702-949-2842. They can be seen at The Boulevard Mall and Meadows Mall, you can schedule an appointment with a designer at their showroom located at 6625 S.

F
OF FRAMELESS SHOWER DOORS
or many people, one of the most desired places in the home is the shower. It can be that one time of day when people can fully relax and have a moment of solitude. Having a shower that is elegant, sleek and clean can make that experience much more enjoyable especially with custom frameless glass enclosures. Nearly invisible, a frameless glass shower door limits the visual barriers, provides a flowing seamless look and has the effect of making the bathroom seem more open and spacious. A frameless shower also complements its surrounding environment, drawing attention to the meticulous stone work and other artistic elements that may be in your bathroom. Frameless glass enclosures are fully customized to your space and style, whether you prefer something more traditional, or drawn to an ultra-modern and sleek look. There are a myriad of options to choose from, such as sandblasted designs to numerous glass patterns. Frameless doors are strong, featuring thicker glass with heavy-duty hardware. You can even create an enclosure that is as frameless as possible with durable minimalist hardware. The unique hardware allows the door to swing both in and out.

ULTREX® FIBERGLASS Is 8x Stronger Than Vinyl!
I
nfinity® replacement windows from Marvin Windows and Doors set a new standard by offering homeowners an attractive, durable, and virtually maintenance-free window replacement option. Made entirely of a high performance pultruded fiberglass material called Ultrex®, Infinity windows are profiled to give the appearance of a finished wood window without using any actual wood in the design. So, what is Ultrex? Made with strong cables of glass that are saturated with specially compounded resins, Ultrex fiberglass is durable, non-corrosive, has low thermal conductivity, and is practically maintenance free. Eight-times stronger than vinyl, Infinity uses Ultrex fiberglass because it’s a superior choice. Ultrex never has to be sanded, scraped, painted, or finished in any way. Once your windows have been installed, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the view. Due to a patented coating process, Ultrex is resistant to spotting, streaking, cracking, rotting, warping, chalking, fading, and corrosion. Its strength allows Ultrex to withstand anything Mother Nature can throw at it. In the blistering heat or arctic cold, Ultrex never shows its age. Additionally, Infinity windows are designed with rugged durability and performance in mind. Since Ultrex is composed primarily of fiberglass, it expands and contracts at virtually the same minimal rate as glass, meaning the entire unit stays tightly adhered. This prevents both cracks and leakage around the glass, and allows Infinity windows to meet the industry ratings for air, water, and structural performance.

DESIGN A DAY AND NIGHTTIME RETREAT

our backyard retreat should enhance your living environment during the day and night. Creating an award winning lifestyle design with wow factor is a specialty that not every swimming pool contractor has. An experienced swimming pool design consultant will evaluate your budget and create a design that best meets your needs. The design appeal is important, but so is the quality of the products used on your swimming pool. Never compromise on the quality of your products, warranty, or in verifying that the company you choose will provide you with an extensive customer reference list. A company that has confidence will provide many references and will want to give you a tour of their pools. Remember that a good Better Business Bureau rating is also important, since BBB ratings can’t be manipulated or bought, as is the case with some web-based rating companies. Make your evaluation based on quality, value, experience, professionalism, and integrity of the company. The best time to build is now, so that by the start of swim season, you can be enjoying your swimming pool day or night.

A Durable, Beautiful, and Convenient Makeover For Your Outdoor Surfaces
O
ne of the biggest issues that homeowners struggle with when it comes to their outdoor living spaces is the concrete. Whether it’s old, tired, damaged, stained, or simply ugly, tired-out concrete surfaces can bring down the entire look of your beautiful yard. However, there is a way to add new depth and beauty to your surfaces with the sought-out look of elegant natural materials, without having to invest in an extremely expensive and time-consuming project. In fact, the look can be achieved without any demolition, and in just one day. Composed of 100% natural river rock, the epoxy product is a durable, long-lasting surface that is ideal for high traffic areas, such as driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, stairs, entrances, and more. Completely porous, water and dust both can fall beneath the surface. This not only offers a cleaner look, but also ensures for a slip-resistant surface around pools and other potentially dangerous wet areas of your yard. The ease of installation cannot be beat. Professionals will mix the natural rock overlay onsite, and then apply it to the surfaces that you wish to update. Within 24-hours, your new beautiful floors will be ready to resume daily activities. The epoxy can be applied over just about any surface, including stamped, cracked, and bare concrete, spray texture, painted or stained concrete, textured or uneven concrete, and even Kool Deck ®—there is absolutely no demolition required.

DO YOU HAVE A POOL?
F
amilies today are simply spending more time at home luxuriating with friends and business associates. The home itself, and its extension into the “outdoor living room”, has become essential and very desirable. A beautifully designed and properly implemented “pool/spa environment” with its enchanting waterfalls and surrounding gardens can be the perfect addition to any yard. If you do not have a pool, you may want to consider the benefits to invest in a pool. First, it can add value to your home, especially in the desert. It also gives you a great place to relax after your work day, giving the feeling of vacation right in your own backyard. A well designed swimming pool isn't just a vessel of water. It can turn your backyard into that oasis retreat you've dreamed of. The pool can become the centerpiece of the yard with waterfalls or fountains, negative edge reveals, and beautiful pebble interior finishes that give a deep blue reflection to make your backyard the place to be. Another great advantage of your own pool is exercise. Research shows that swimming provides an excellent total body workout with a low risk of injury. Swimming burns about 500 calories per hour and water aerobics is great for your heart and easy on your knees and hips.
