LIVE THE RESORT LIFESTYLE AT HOME with an Interior Designer
R
eady for a better lifestyle; no dieting involved? You can change your life by transforming your home! Maybe it’s the kitchen or the master suite, knocking down walls to create a Great Room, or perhaps you are building a new home. In any case, you deserve the resort lifestyle in your home. Studies have shown that we are dramatically influenced by our interior environments; shouldn’t yours be beneficial to you? According to the American Society of Interior Designers, interior designers are trained in the art and science of understanding people’s behavior in order to create functional spaces. They are responsible for the health and safety of a specified environment and know how to design just for you and your needs. A good designer knows and respects that it is personal for their clients, and works with clients who don’t have the time, vision, or resources for their project. Hiring an interior designer saves time, money and aggravation. Interior designers with the proper qualifications, education and experience are trained and informed. Do you really want to tackle that remodel without the help of an expert? A team of experienced professionals includes a designer, a general contractor, subcontractors, and possibly an architect. The designer provides the concept, drawings and specifications, and a scope of work, while coordinating and interfacing with the contractor. The client approves the designs and decisions, and the designer makes it happen! For contractors, designers supply clear direction, decisions and expectations, freeing up their time on the project and eliminating confusion. The designer also helps the contractor understand client goals while understanding and respecting the contractor – we are a team! With a professional interior designer, the benefits for the contractor are many. A certified interior designer

RETHINKING YOUR HOME’S FUNCTION AND USE CONSULT WITH A PROFESSIONAL INTERIOR DESIGNER
OVID-19 has prompted homeowners to invest in their residences more than ever. People are more attuned to flaws in their homes after spending such a long time locked up in them. The things in their home they overlooked have now become things that must be fixed or updated. Even as shelter-in-place orders lift, consumers take a closer look at their homes, how they function, and how they can transform them into a sanctuary in these uncertain times. The pandemic has been changing the way we spend our days. And, for many, working from home has become the new normal. Creating a functional home office and inviting playroom for children has never been more important. Life is unfolding at home, and customers are asking for tips on how to make it more

comfortable and functional. Design is not just about aesthetics but about the feeling it evokes. Make it personal. Ask yourself, What does the space mean to me? What are the colors and textures I love, and what is the feeling that I want to have when I am home? A professional interior designer helps make design choices based on your personal aesthetic to create a space that you’ll love for years to come. All problems have solutions if you’re creative. This is just one advantage of working with an interior designer. They can help implement your ideas, help you avoid costly mistakes and act as liaison between you and contractors. The interior designers at Boulevard Home Interiors have been transforming homes for over 20 years. For your complimentary consultation, you may reach them at (949)388-4167 or info@boulevardhomeinteriors.com. See their video at: blvd.ocvids.com.

Custom Mattresses Handcrafted
THE OLD FASHIONED WAY
W
e all know the feeling of suffering through a very long day and wanting nothing more than to sink into that cozy bed waiting for you at home. However, more often than not, things don’t seem to go quite according to plan, and you wake up without the refreshed feeling that your body so desperately needed. People spend one-third of their lives sleeping. The quality of sleep that we get every single night influences how we feel; how alert we are, how much energy we have, and how productive we are throughout the day. Because of this, it’s crucial to be educated in regards to the quality of your mattress, and how it affects your sleep, comfort, and health. There is more to a great mattress set then one might think. Elaborate covers, exotic materials, and initial comfort tend to be the only focal points for the majority of salespeople. Yet, quality of materials, construction, and support are critical to a good night’s sleep and are often aspects that go overlooked while mattress shopping. The time has come for you to finally get the good night’s sleep that you have been waiting for—every single night. Newport Bedding Company has been locally family owned and operated since 1957, locally since 1978, combining old world craftsmanship with advanced manufacturing and sleep system technology to offer customers the highest quality handcrafted mattresses at competitive prices. Each mattress is created with care by master craftsmen, and not massproduced on assembly lines. Their mattresses are two-sided for better performance, and offer a much longer lifespan than that of a traditional one-sided mattress that is designed to go bad in just a few years.

All of Newport Bedding’s mid, high, and ultra-premium mattresses are hand button tufted to maintain their feel and to hold their shape, year after year. They also rest on true box springs that increase support and comfort level, versus a foundation, which is common today. Newport Bedding uses multiple layers of 100% natural, hypoallergenic cotton batting as the filling material on all mid, high, and ultra-premium mattress sets. Cotton is a material that breathes, aiding in the dissipation of body heat during sleep so you have a comfortable rest. Creating a flawless bed is an “arte.” Newport Bedding understands that a successful mattress is fit to the person, rather than forcing the person to fit to a mattress. Because all people have different needs, customization and quality truly are everything. Tom Sceberras has been in the mattress industry his entire life, representing the fourth-generation of Sceberras master mattress crafters. While people tend to shy away from custom products because they anticipate a substantially higher price, nothing could be further than the truth at Newport Bedding Company. By eliminating the middle man and buying factory direct, customers will find prices often lower than those of luxury mass-produced bedding products. For more information, you can visit the Newport Bedding Factory Showroom at 1526 Newport Blvd. in Costa Mesa, seven days a week. You can also call them at 949-646-3991. www.newportbedding.com. Ask them to show you how a good mattress is made. Newport Bedding will show you what the brand name mattress manufacturers don’t want you to know or see. See their video at nptbed.ocvids.com

YOUR WOOD CABINETS AND FLOORS
O
ver time wood cabinets and floors look flat and lifeless due to dirt build up, wear and tear, scratches and age-discolored finishes. Cabinet and floor renewal is an innovative and affordable alternative to replacing, refacing (new doors), painting or traditional sanding/refinishing. In only a few days, your wood cabinets and floors will be restored to that like–new luster without the inconvenience, dust and odors from harsh chemicals. At a fraction of the cost, it will save you time and money. If you are looking to change the color of your cabinets, one option is to make a slight color change giving your cabinets a warmer tone of the wood without covering the wood grains.

Pigments and dyes can be added to the new finish so that you can achieve virtually any color desired. Say you have maple cabinets and would like a slightly darker stained wood, the new finish can be custom dyed to your color preference and then professionally applied. You can choose to do a complete color change, which will dramatically change the style and look of your cabinets. Select from custom durable color finishes that do not chip or peel, and when applied there are no drips, streaks or bleed through. If repairs are needed like gaps, holes, splintered wood, etc, they are made during the wood surface cleaning process. N-Hance Wood Renewal uses their proprietary, state-of-the-art non-toxicand odorless products. These products along with their advanced technology and processes were developed to provide consistent high quality results. For more information you can call, N-Hance Wood Renewal at (714) 907-1917.
