Classic Collection - More Than Just Baskets... Excerpts from the January 2008 issue of Signature HomeStyles HeartBeat,
Issue 1 Vol. 8 |
|||||||
The quality of Signature HomeStyles products is best
shown in the Classic Collection line of baskets. They are
constructed from the ground up from quality components. The frames of
the baskets are wired and strong. The frame of the Classic Cube
is made of wood! Wood! Woven nylon is used to cover the framework. What
you have in front of you is an object of beauty, function and quality.
The colors of the basket line fit into any decor. Toffee adds a touch of lightness to any home. If you have a dark corner, try adding a lamp on top of our hamper from the Classic Everyday Set. It makes a great side table to your favorite chair. Set the tote from the basket set by your chair and you have a functional and portable place to keep your favorite things. I love the Classic Cube. Not only is it storage, it's furniture. Yes, furniture! If that doesn't make you clutch your pearls, I don't know what will. These can be used in the children's play room. Each child can have their own Cube around the play table. They can store all their art supplies and books in them and pull them out when they're needed. When done, they can put their supplies back in their Cubes. This teaches them to manage their possessions and be responsible for their environments. What about a Cube in the game room? The smaller baskets can be put on shelves to store game pieces and cards. Place a Tic-Tac-Go! Tray on top of a Cube for a touch of decoration and function. How about placing two parallel lengths of black ribbon on a work surface? Individually glue "Go to the Diner" cards to the ribbon and make garland to tie around your favorite baskets. Who doesn't like Espresso? The rich brown color fits into any room. Placing four Cubes in front of a sofa arranged into a square makes a great coffee table. Add a tray and you have a secure place to serve drinks. Lift the tray and you have extra seating for guests.
Espresso looks so good combined with light oak, maple or cherry furniture. The mixture of light woods with the dark baskets gives a high-end decorative look without the high-end price. If you want a very dramatic look on a shelf, try adding a black tassel to the lid of our covered basket from the Classic Everyday Set and let it hang over the edge. You can use old decorative belts wrapped around the baskets for a funky touch. Just cut off the excess. Use your imagination. It's all about making it personal. Baskets are not only for storage, they are for living. Until next time, be safe, be kind and be happy. --- |
