WHAT IS SUMMER GOOD FOR?

Summer is finally here! Of course, if you live in Atlanta like me, Summer (and its 95 degree afternoons), has been here for the last three weeks! Summer is a time for walks on the beach, hand-scooped ice cream, and evenings watching baseball under the lights.

The savvy home-decorator knows another thing about summer: it's the best time of the year to order furniture. That's right, July and August are months when furniture manufacturers offer an extra percent off to their retailers, and the retailers pass those discounts on to their customers. That’s why stores offer their highest discounts to those who order their furniture before Labor Day.

A designer has more time to give to his clients during these hot months, too. Smart customers take advantage of this, knowing that decisions they make now mean saving money – and having beautiful rooms of furniture and draperies ready to install in the Fall, when life cranks back up to full-tilt.

So enjoy your Summer, everyone! And don't forget to special-order that room of furniture while the sales are red-hot!!
