			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Again!</p>
<p>Today, I&#8217;m excited to introduce yet another amazing furniture manufacturer included in our wonderful assortment of vendors, Dinec.  Their product line includes Dining, Living &amp; Entertainment as well as Bedroom.    This innovative collection comes with the highest manufacturing quality, has a focus on the utilization of supplies that are green friendly, and all the customizable/personalized options which make it perfect for a broad range of interior design styles from very traditional through contemporary.  It&#8217;s your choice!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.phreed.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/din-dining11.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1043 aligncenter" title="din-dining1" src="http://www.phreed.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/din-dining11-440x271.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="271" /></a>&#8220;Established in 1991, Dinec™ is a Canadian manufacturer specializing in the design, conception, production, assembly, finishing and marketing of medium to high end furniture using North-American solid birch. Our unique merchandising concept enhances your success in selling quality, personalized dining and bedroom furniture. The option to mix and match a variety of styles, colors, finishes and fabrics allows the customer to create a one time product. Visionary and committed to its clientele, Dinec™, with its personalization concept, is able to create new and innovative contemporary, modern, traditional and country designs.&#8221; (www.dinec.com)   <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-735" src="http://www.phreed.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/din-dining21-440x271.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="271" /></p>
<p>There are some amazing features built into all of their product:</p>
<p>They utilize a highly specialized finishing process whereas they apply 4 separate coats of finish (compared to industry standard of just 3) &#8211; and to make it even more durable and lasting, they employ a catalyzed lacquer varnish, &#8220;Dinashield&#8221; which further aids in protecting your furniture from spills and stains.  *(Dinec has even performed tests on various household products/staining agents which have proven that most have no affect on the finish.</p>
<p>To begin the exciting journey of designing your new custom Dinec furnishing, we invite you to our showroom to check out our new &#8220;Personalization Center&#8221; where  all the options  for finishes, fabrics/leathers, examples of different leg styles, edge treatments, knobs &amp; pulls are presented in a very useable format.  Also, besides Dinec&#8217;s amazing product offerings, their technology is of the highest level &#8211; In fact, they even have an online &#8220;Personalization Center&#8221; available through their website (www.dinec.com) where the consumer can actually build their custom piece right on screen &#8211; make changes which are reflected real-time.  I encourage the clients that I work with to pull out a bottle of wine and hop onto www.dinec.com and simply play around with the online personalization center to come up with some examples of how their new dining table, bed, chairs etc. might look &#8211; then simply print it out with their options included to bring into the showroom and look at the actual materials &amp; finishes they have selected.  It&#8217;s a really fun way to totally become involved in their own design process.  <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-286" title="din-wind-bed-group" src="http://www.phreed.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/din-wind-bed-group-440x242.jpg" alt="din-wind-bed-group" width="440" height="242" /></p>
<p>***Now is the perfect opportunity to order a new dining collection to show off to your holiday guests and family visitors! (and the holidays are just around the corner!)</p>]]></content:encoded>

Cleanness of line and simplicity of design has allowed the quality of our work and the precision of our craft to shine through. It has afforded us the opportunity to flourish against the backdrop of “me too” copycats and designs contrived in spirit and execution. Our ability to customize pieces to meet the needs of clients is another example of the strong sense of service and support we bring to our relationships. <strong>This is something you won’t find with products manufactured in China or other foreign countries</strong>&#8221; (<a href="http://www.creativeelegance.com">www.creativeelegance.com</a>)</p>
<p>Pieter Reed (Owner) and I last year made the decision to make a major investment in Creative Elegance by showcasing a gallery of amazingly designed collections by in this amazing product line after showing only a few pieces from their various collections over the past 13 years. Their designs have always been quite architectural and of the most select/premium materials and year after year we are both most impressed with the new designs they add to their product line-up. A great example of this is the new dresser/vanity (or desk) combination introduced at the last Las Vegas World Market in February 2009. Talk about form and function &#8211; I anticipate a huge response for this piece and am excited that we will be showcasing it in the store beginning the week of April 27th. Either for the master bedroom, student&#8217;s bedroom or that spare room that has multiple uses. With many finish options, including introduction of exotic woods, it&#8217;s simple to make this piece your own!</p>

<p><strong>About Creative Elegance</strong></p>
<p>Creative Elegance has been manufacturing fine furniture since 1980. Started as a two man shop, brothers Aaron and Mark Popel built custom pieces for their father and grandfather’s retail store. From these humble beginnings, the company has grown and prospered as a specialist in high styled contemporary case goods. During this journey, the driving philosophy has always been the same: <strong>Quality, Integrity, Style and Service</strong>. These were the fundamentals taught and practiced during three generations of family business. They continue to be our daily commitment to employees, customers and vendors alike.</p>
<p>Though modest on the scale of today’s giant manufacturer/importers from overseas, Creative Elegance has always maintained an aggressive pursuit of high quality through advanced technology. From the use of computer generated optimizing reports for material consumption to CNC (computer numerically controlled) saws and machine centers, the company searches internationally for the finest machinery available.</p>
<p>While we have gone all over the world for top equipment and materials, we haven’t run away from our responsibility here at home with regards to providing quality jobs and an environment we are happy to live in. California’s regulations pertaining to worker safety and air pollution are some of the toughest in the world. Many companies have fled the state and country to avoid these issues. Creative Elegance complies with these issues because it is the right thing to do! With such an amazing philosophy and heightened awareness of social and economic responsibility, this is the perfect collection for the NorthWest contemporary home.</p>

<p>The world of tactile textures offer infinite possibilities. Starting from the ground up, floor coverings from DellaRobbia offer amazing options. The “Enmeshed” is a loop pile Artika large felted yarn, combined with single ply cut pile yarn tufted to enhance design and texture.</p>
<p><span>“Enmeshed” is one of dozens of patterns hand tufted using 100% New Zealand Pure Wool, which is considered the best wool in the carpet industry today. Dellarobbia manufactures these rugs to an heirloom quality standard. Dellarobbia is registered with Wood of New Zealand and has earned the privilege to carry their fern mark symbol, which is highly regarded in the global market-place for it’s superior nature.</span></p>

<p><strong>Wool &#8211; Naturally Superior </strong></p>
<p><span>Those with a sense of style &#8211; and a sense of value &#8211; choose wool carpets and rugs. Why? Because wool simply looks beautiful, longer. </span></p>
<p><span>Natural wool ages gracefully, continually renewing itself and developing a rich patina as years pass. While synthetic fibers will become scratched, scarred and dull over time, wool carpets and rugs remain vibrant to the eye and supple to the touch. </span></p>
<p><span>Your style demands high design and high performance; natural wool delivers, year after year after year. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>        <strong>Do you know the real story about real wool carpets and rugs? </strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span>What makes wool so desirable? New Zealand wool is the whitest, cleanest, purest wool in the world &#8211; the <em>natural choice </em>for natural superiority. </span></li>
<li><span>Wool carpets and rugs are <em>fire safe</em>, providing beautiful peace of mind. </span></li>
<li><span>Wool absorbs contaminants in the air, improving the <em>indoor air quality </em>and helping you breathe easier. </span></li>
<li><span>Real wool will make your home more beautiful; and by its very nature, it can help <em>save the earth.</em></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span>I invite you to visit our showroom to experience dozens of samples that comprise the DellaRobbia rug collection. www.dellarobbiarugs.com</span></p>
