LakeSideLivingRoomYou Don’t Have to Live on the Lake

YBy: SABRINA FISCHER, Owner Peacock Furniture Galleria

ou do not have to live on the lake to enjoy this look of rustic mixed with refined in our Designer Lake Side Liv-ing Room. Break out of the ordinary furniture rut, with this new tweed sectional. It is not only on trend, but durable for family living. The best part, it is made in the United States. Supporting local small businesses or buying products made in the US is a great way to support our economy and the country. We offer this US made cus-tom-furniture line at Peacock Furniture Galle-ria. Whether you’re looking for a parsons chair, bench, sectional or a sofa, we can customize your piece and tailor it just for you. Local salvaged wood and factory machines have been up-cycled to create this one-of-a-kind industrial coffee table. This piece is not a manufactured replica, it is the real deal! Made by a local super craftsman. The mural is a one of a kind piece of art that

actually is moveable. If you want to change up your family room at some point and move this fantastic piece to a bedroom, for example, you can. I love the flexibility and choices available with this product. We now offer custom window treatments like the ones featured in our “Lakeside Living Room”. Custom window treatments and hard-ware are an investment in your home and help increase its resale value. Let us assist you in making a statement and adding drama to your home with custom window treatments. You guessed it, the window treatments are fabricat-ed in the US as well as locally in Erie. Lastly, the rug featured in this room is made in the US and from recycled products. These are interchangeable carpet squares that connect together. The patterns and possibilities areendless! I love working with clients and finding out

their taste and style in decorating; and then translating it into everyday living in their home. Your Home is your castle…..make it fabulous! By working with a Profes-sional decorator, you can sift through all the choices as well as add the unex-pected wow-factor touches throughout your home! Whether it is a great color for your wall, a unique accessory , a one-of-kind piece of furniture, or the ideal furniture placement, The Peacock Furniture Galleria design staff can help you achieve your decorating goals. Us-ing professionals will also help to save you time and money. I look forward to meeting you at the Home Show and making your dream home become a reality!

SUITE DREAMSBy Sarah Sheppard: Lead Designer,Peacock Furniture Galleria Inspired by the luxury bedrooms seen in high-end hotels, this beautiful ensemble of a fabric headboard, designer carpet-ing and custom window treatments reminiscent of starry skies, was de-signed to elicit rest, relaxation and sweet dreams -- all for an affordable price. We lead busy lives; that is why it is es-sential to have a sanctuary that we can escape to at the end of the day. Here are a few tips that you can take from our designer room “Suite Dreams”, to help you transform your bedroom into an opulent retreat. 1. Collect pictures that you are drawn to for inspiration and ideas.* When we were creating the concept for this room, we just loved the look of all the upholstered headboards we were seeing in the magazines.2. Whatever type of bed you choose, make sure the other elements of the room compliment it.*We needed custom-window treatments to get the over-the-top luxurious feeling we were looking for. 3. Buy good linens - high thread count sheets just feel better. 4. Don’t cheapen your look with cheap
