Featured Designer - Denise Ciccone of Adorable Dee-Signs by Denise Where: Charlotte, NC, USA Where to Buy: www.facebook.com/AdorableDeeSignsByDenise/ Denise Ciccone has been active in art and design for more than 30 years, starting with selling her artwork and jewelry at a very early age. Now, as a single mother with two bustling business, her "Life is fun" and she wouldn't have it any other way!
"To me, Summer means watching fireflies at night God's creatures are amazing - more nighttime motorcycle rides, lightening up meals and colors and accessories in the home!" -Denise
When she's not selling her beautiful handmade items at art festivals or creating her one-of-a-kind pieces, she's consulting with design clients, usually on one of her favorite subjects: Color! She says many of her clients are lost when it comes to finding the right colors to help them achieve a certain feel to their homes. The amazing printed throw pillows in this magazine are the latest addition to her home decor line. When she couldn't find the perfect accent for the homes of her design clients, she started making her own. The process of creating the pillows begins with a design idea and is then screen printed by a friend. Denise then fills the poly-cotton fabric with hypoallergenic Polyfill, sews them and finds them a new home to brighten up. Her advice for Summertime decorating? Lighten up! "Little changes create a whole new feel!" Denise says. She explains that by toning down your accessories, like blankets and pillows, and adding fun little items, you can bring the Summer in with ease! Be sure to check out Denise's business page on Facebook, Adorable Dee-Signs by Denise, for more amazing creations! Many of the pillows featured in the magazine can be found on Denise's Facebook business page, priced at $17 each, plus shipping.
