A New Year!

I know it’s a little late but it is still early January so it still counts!

Last year the Melon Patch was busy and exciting. It is hard to believe that at the end of January, it will be two years that we have been at our current location. How time flies when you are having fun.

We completed a number of projects both indoors and out, met some wonderful new faces and formed lasting friendships, I hope that your year was as eventful as ours.

Over the next few months, I will be posting some of the new design trends for 2011.

December: The Busy Month!

It’s hard to believe that it is already December; I always find this month hectic with so many things to do before the holidays, and Projects to finish for clients…it makes me tired just to think about it!

The new MP Blog is working out well and I’ll be posting more often – after a couple of lessons!

The last few years the holidays have been quiet at our house, this year in addition to trying to finish my house; our Cousin/Uncle Milosh is coming for two weeks!!!!!!  

He said he would do some of the cooking, so that means my kitchen has to be ready!

Inspirations from Europe!

The vacation was supposed to be non-working. But when you are in design you cannot help but notice things.

Since my family (son is house builder, daughter doing an M.A. in Interactive Design, with the exception of my mother); share my interest and did not get impatient with me when I asked to stop the car so I could take some pictures and visit some retail stores.

I think the thing that impressed me the most were the bathrooms, and since I have done a few in my time, I am always looking for new ideas.

Most of the fixtures are imported from Italy and Germany, so they were streamlined and simple.

PureScreen Windows Coverings!

Pure Screen™ Window Coverings!

Pure Screen™ is a sun control fabric that actually Cleans The Air. A special coating on the fabric enables it to accumulate harmful gases and bad odours on it’s surface and covert them in a catalytic process into harmless substances such as water (H20) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

The fabric is manufactured with environmental protection and does not contain CFC nor PVC. The porous polymer coating is without solvents and formaldehyde. 

It is available in fire retardant translucent white, cream, or grey colours with a matching opaque option.
