As I write this the A/C is cranking, I’m taking gulps of water constantly and my body is about to break out in a sweat, lol! The temps in the next week are expected to be in the 105 degree range. This is pretty normal though for this time of year,, nothing new……Now onto the good stuff.

Typically, during the summer months where the heat in parts of the country can be stifling, its difficult to have functions outside and to stay comfortable. However, its always mind over matter so one can “create” that feeling of being in a more moderate climate. Adorn your patio, veranda, loggia, or any outdoor space you use to entertain with beautiful sheer and very colorful fabric panels, cool lighting, canopies to diffuse and shield the heat and bright tables. As the sun sets you may catch periods of a slight breeze to cool off a bit. With the sheer fabric panels hanging the breeze makes them look flowy, the lights emitted by the lanterns are sparkly, and with cold beverages in hand and a luscious light menu of salads, veggies and fruits one feels suddenly refreshed and comfortable.

In Every Corner has all that you need to create that lovely space I just described. We have Moroccan lanterns that are perfect for the outdoors, beautiful sheer & beaded curtain panels from India, and colorful benches and tables to make “Alfresco” dining a pleasureable experience. Check out these colorful Moroccan tables, and the henna lamps. Remember- color exudes a happy environment always especially when entertaining guests during any festivity!

Please wear lots of sunscreen and keep hydrated with plenty of water so we all can get through the heat! I hate it; hubby loves it!

Until next time……D:-))

Hey Everyone! I know, I know, its been awhile but we’ve been very busy lately taking care of a multitude of things we’ve been putting off all winter long. So, as the old saying goes,” spring cleaning” here we go…. done.

Here in Las Vegas, NV, this is perhaps the best time of  the year with the temperatures in the 70’s throughout April. Now, as I type this, if only that darn wind would stop blowing already! My allergies are dragging me down and I’m into my 2nd box of tissues now, lol.

I attached a picture of one of our benches we are previewing now in the store. It so adorable; its called the “butterfly” bench and comes in several Spring colors like the blue shown as well as green, red, purple, and yellow. It is made of a strong and durable metal that can weather the outdoor elements. Add colorful pillows and a seat cushion and you’ve got instant seating outside in your patio or garden. Its a great bench to just sit outside on while sipping a cup of tea, coffee or your favorite drink:-).

Shown here is a grouping of fabulous Moroccan tea glasses that are perfect for serving the country’s  famous mint tea. Think of creative ways to brighten up your outdoor sanctuary by scattering these glasses all around areas where you’re entertaining your guests. The brass tray top table (shown above) is the perfect thing to place these tea glasses on too. The brass has an etched appearance as shown in the inset and lends to a global inspired motif. If you’re ever in the area, please stop in anytime and say ‘hi” and browse around our store. Right now, we’re taking orders for these items and from now until April 20th if you mention In Every Corner’s blog, we’ll take an additional 20% off the regular price. Call us at 702-254-0077 for the regular prices of these items featured. Until next time…..D.

Hey Everyone!!

Well, we’re back from a long and well deserved vacation! As we traveled around, one of the things that I paid attention to was the sound of water and it seems like everywhere we went, you could hear the sounds of trickling water or random splashes whether it be from a nearby lake, river, ocean, or even inside one’s home, place of business or a restaurant. As a water sign, these sounds would always put me in a calming mood, lol, as vacations can be quite hectic and tiring especially during the last phases.

I want to share with you what we offer in our store. Take a look at these wall fountains. In person, they are breathtaking and everyone that walks into the store stops dead in their tracks to compliment its features especially the sounds of the water running off from the marble and slate. With the fountains on, the music going, and a candle or two burning, it immediately puts people in a chill out state. They say to me how peaceful and rested they suddenly feel during their busy days. Children are especially mesmerized by the look of our fountains and comment on how much they want to bring them home. Its funny because I sure appreciate them so much more now. They are available in a plethora of sizes, colors and shapes. Just ask us to show you our large selections via our catalogs to order.

Next time you stop by In Every Corner, don’t forget to take notice of our wall fountains…..we’ll even take a lucky penny or two to throw into the water for good luck! Until next time…….D.

Here we are halfway through January 2010 and here’s hoping that everyone’s year is off to a good start. 2009 was a very challenging year for many of us but there are some subtle signs that things may turn around so we must be patient and optimistic… ahhhh where’s my crystal ball when I need it:-)

As In Every Corner heads off to Winter Market which is held in Las Vegas this year starting Feb. 1-5, we’ll be exploring the continued trend of eco-friendly home furnishings that are reclaimed and repurposed to create gorgeous pieces for your home. This month we’ve been featuring our plethora of Old Doors in-store. These doors are like pieces of artwork which can certainly take the place of any painting on or against a wall. They are handcarved of reclaimed woods from India or Morocco with distressed brass inlay,nailhead details, and intricate ironwork. Stop in and mention you saw this blog and take an additional 20% OFF! We also have beautiful handpainted doors to choose from too.

So, as we enter a new year, a new decade, as the title blog indicates, here at In Every Corner, we continue to stay positive by renewing, refreshing, and recreating….Be good to Yourself!

I recently had the pleasure of helping a close friend plan a holiday party. She didn’t just want the usual and common decorations that most people put out when hosting a holiday dinner party. Since Moroccan decor is colorful and festive, I suggested to her that she do a ”Night in Marrakech” theme and she was delighted. I told her that her guests would have a great time, the party would be a big hit and her friends would be talking about it the day after.

While in our store, In Every Corner, I recommended colorful Moroccan tea glasses with a serving tray and a silver teapot, several cool looking lanterns to create that exotic ambiance, layers of colorful beaded runners in vibrant tones of reds, oranges, magentas, and to serve the party food, a couple of tagines. A tagine is a Moroccan cooking vessel in the shape of a dome. There are ones that are used only for cooking and then the ones for serving. I recommended she get a couple of serving tagines as they are very colorful and would complement the rest of the theme. She also got a hexagonal table unique to Moroccan design to place adjacent to her dining table to allow guests more room to place things on. I sketched for my friend a layout of how to decorate and where to place all the things she bought. I also gave her a couple of Moroccan recipes to try….I received a call from her the next morning and she was so elated! Everyone asked how she came up with the idea to do something out of the box and compliments were flowing all night. I’ll spare you all the details of what went on at the party, lol. The tagine dishes were a big hit too!

Anyway, the point I’m making here is we all have it in us to stand out and express our creativeness. Try new things be it a new way to throw a party as described above or reinvent oneself especially in these times. Always stay relevant and insightful.

As a reminder, don’t forget to browse our gallery site and head over to our online store at www.ineverycorneronline.com. We’re running a 20% OFF special all month on all purchases….Until next time, have a great week! D.

I know this time of year can be quite hectic as we enter the month of December with holiday shopping to do, entertaining company, cooking, ( geez, we just got over turkey day, and some of us cooked, lol) and possibly traveling to see close family and friends out of town.  This can make many of us feel overwhelmed and then the blues set in. Let’s remedy that and get you in a cheerful mood, ok? Take a few minutes and browse our gallery site. Enjoy the music and imagine yourself on an exotic excursion somewhere far away from the hustle and bustle of your everyday life. Perhaps our site will give you ideas for that future trip…) Don’t forget to look at our online store to see if we can make your shopping needs a bit less stressful. We offer free shipping (except for Hawaii & Alaska) and take 20% OFF all purchases using the holiday code.

If you’re in the Las Vegas area, stop by the store and say hello.

We also carry an extensive line of high quality candles for gift giving and beautiful embroidered or beaded runners with matching pillows which is another gift idea. All month long we’ll be offering sets of 2 pillows and a matching runner in store at 20% off the regular pricing.

So, whether you’re feeling cheerful or a bit under the weather always take that time out for yourself each day to decompress and rejuvenate for the next day…..Until next week…D.

I always wait all year long to finally have the cooler weather make an appearance as we’re in Las Vegas. For us when it finally cools into the 60’s in the daytime and into the 40’s at night we can finally break out our nice warm sweaters, leathers, and boots. This also means looking around your home and sprucing it up in anticipation of the coming Holidays. Its time to put away any traces of spring and summer colors and lighter fabrics in favor of deep, warmer tones that evoke Fall & Winter.

One of the easiest ways to change out the seasons is by replacing pillows on your sofa, adding colorful throws or shawls, or changing out table runners in favor of heavier and embellished ones. Here at In Every Corner, we have a plethora of seasonal pillows and tabletops to complete your decor needs. Check out our finds in store or online. We have beautiful beaded and embroidered table runners in hues of burgundy, golds, deep greens, rusts, silvers, and sapphires. Pillows in warm tones, and Suzanis, the popular and centuries old art of hand embroidery and vibrant colors which hail from the Central Asian country of Uzbekistan and also Kilim patterns from Turkey. 

I also suggest picking up a few candles. We carry several upscale lines such as Seda France and Voluspa. Our pillar line, Kiran, is also a mainstay at our store. They are all handpoured and saturated with only the finest of essential oils and longer burn times. This month we’re featuring our new shipment of the Kiran line at 20% OFF! Some of the luscious fragrances for the season are Hazelnut & Coffee, Eucalyptus Vanilla & Vetiver ( my personal fave) and assorted Berries,Plum, and Cinnamon Clove. Light these in your home whether company comes or not, and take delight in the aromas these candles give off…Until next time, Dorothy:-)
