Grange (areteriorshome.com)

courtesy of ceramics: The mustard-yellow body of Fiona takes a 27-inch-high white cotton shade stamped with swirling roses, while the juicy green of 28½-inch-high Finley repeats in the trim around the white linen shade. The mood swings rustic with Grange, its iron-studded mango-wood base paired with a similarly oblong linen shade 16 inches wide. Likewise mango are Ella’s elegantly intertwined carved blossoms, finished with natural wax and paired with a cotton-linen shade for a combined height of 21 or 24 inches. Southwestern-style steel base, 29 inches high, is topped by a shade woven from recycled newsprint and lined in cotton. All accept incandescent or compact fluorescent bulbs.

Cool roofs



Material composition: Roof is composed of a high SRI (Solar Reflectance Index) also known as Albedo which helps to control the temperature and solar reflectance of the roof.
Product information: This type of roof instead of absorbing the sun’s heat and transferring it to the building posses a reflective property that emits the solar heat back to the sky. The SRI and thermal emmittance are rated in a scale of 0 to 1 and the higher the value the “cooler” is the material. CRRC (Cool Roof Rating) is a third party association that test the performance of the SRI value and thermal emittance of several roofs and has a specific section of its website where it indicates which roof companies attain their requirements.


Green attributes: Helps to reduce the heat island effect of roofs at the same time that also reduces overall energy consumption due to a decrease on the need of HVAC to cool down the entire building. It also improves occupant comfort. All this characteristics of this product fulfills the standards for several LEED CREDITS.
Manufacturer: CRRC ( Cool Roof Rating Council)

FIRE ISLAND (www.emmagardenerdesign.com)


Based on original copyrighted designs, Emma Gardner's rugs are handmade using two different techniques according to their characteristics and best expression: hand-knotting and hand-tufting.
Hand-Knotted Rugs
Depending on the demands of the design and the customer's desired texture and feel, the rugs can be made in several different knot counts (per square inch) and pile heights.
Wool is a protein-based fiber containing natural lanolin oil. Lanolin in combination with the natural construction of wool, make it very resilient to stains and easier to stay clean than most synthetic fibers
A breathable non-slip mesh underpad is recommended when laying your carpet on a hardwood or tile floor.
To ensure even wear, be sure to rotate your carpet once a year
For surface cleaning: Using a sponge, wipe a mixture of a mild dish soap and water lightly over the entire surface of the carpet. Remove by wiping again using a clean cloth and water. For deep cleaning: Your carpet should be professionally cleaned every 3-5 years or when you notice the colours to be less vibrant. Carpets in extremely high traffic areas may require more frequent cleaning
