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.

There’s Only
One Polywood®
W
hen you decide to invest in shutters for your home, there’s no brand more reputable and popular than the Polywood® Shutter. Polywood® is a unique shutter that was created by Sunburst Shutters over 25 years ago. Sunburst added numerous features to common shutter designs in order to significantly enhance its performance over every other shutter. The superior qualities of the Polywood ® Shutter include a patented material and patented paint finishing process that cannot be copied. These qualities make the Polywood® Shutter the most durable & energy efficient shutter on the market. Since Polywood® is not made of wood, it saves trees. And Sunburst uses recycled Polywood® pieces into every shutter to virtually eliminate waste. Polywood® is proof that non-wood shutters can have outstanding capabilities and look beautiful. Some shutter companies have tried to capitalize on the success of Polywood ®— calling any non-wood shutter a “Polywood®” shutter. The most important thing to keep in mind when shopping for quality window treatments is that Polywood® is an exclusive and patented shutter that is only available through Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions. While other companies say they have or can provide Polywood ® , in reality, they have absolutely no access to it. All non-wood shutters are not created equally. Be sure to get any promises in writing from shutter sales reps. Polywood ® is 100% made in the USA by Sunburst and only available through the local Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions Design Center located at 6480 W. Flamingo Road, Suite D. For more information and to see the Polywood® difference, visit www.SunburstShuttersLasVegas.com or call 702-367-1600.

ith the hectic and busy lifestyles most families have, keeping up with managing your home is just another chore. Smart electronics play a central role in our daily lives and technology has made it possible to play a smarter role for your home.

Universal remotes along with your smart devices can be programmed so you have full access and control of the systems in your home from any location.

Some of the many features of automating your home include: Home Theater – The key is high performance brands, not mass market brands. Whether your home theater means a cozy corner in your living room or a screening room with theater seating, you can enjoy the clearest pictures and the cleanest sound that enhances every detail of your movie experience. Audio – Integrating an audio system in your home gives you the flexibility to manage music in multiple rooms or orchestrate whole-home audio with a slide of your finger. You can play music from multiple formats and sources, including radio, streaming music services, your iPod/mp3 player or computer. So you can enjoy 80’s rock in your living room, jazz in your kitchen or hip hop in your teen’s room – all at the same time!

DISCOVER THE BEAUTY AND ELEGANCE
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. For more information on custom frameless shower enclosures, you can contact the professionals at Kera Bath & Shower. Family owned and operated

Make Your Backyard A Private Oasis
T
here are few luxuries that compare to having a private oasis within your backyard; a personal vacation spot for relaxing at the end of a long day or entertaining friends on the weekend. In Las Vegas, such a vacation spot requires one thing above all others – SHADE. That means a quality patio cover. For these conditions, you need something that will stand up to blistering heat, arid climate, strong sustained winds, and sun damage. That negates wood and vinyl, and leaves aluminum patio covers as the only truly viable option. Within the category of aluminum patio covers there are a wide range of products available, but only Ultra Series Patio covers are designed specifically to withstand the harsh desert environment found in the Las Vegas valley and provide premium comfort, appearance, and longevity. Ultra Series Patio Covers are crafted with heavy gauge aluminum, 33% thicker than the average patio cover, and are embossed with a rough-hewn deep driftwood texture that resembles the natural appearance and beauty of real wood. Ultra Series are the only covers on the market offering Kynar 500, which is the coating found on the exterior metal surfaces of virtually every Strip casino built in the last 20 years. Kynar 500
