Love Your Home - Life Style Blog from Pacific Home Furniture
Fall is a favorite time of year for Pacific Home Furniture. Is it one of your favorites?
The changing of seasons has a way of inspiring us to decorate our home in a new and fresh way. Can I share with you ideas to transition your home with the colors, textures and décor of the autumn season?
Let's get started outside. Keep in mind when decorating your front door or porch you can add natural elements not just pumpkins. Look for autumn branches to tuck away in your planters. Mums, asters, kale, pansies and marigold are just a few fall flowers you can use in containers. The choices and combinations are endless.
You may not have a turquoise door, but you can see how it can still be used with the pop of orange from the pumpkins, the white porch, white planters, flowers and the changing foliage.
Lanterns are an easy way to bring fabulous fall decor to the outdoors. Mixed in with the rattan pumpkins the lanterns add instant glam to this stone pathway and rustic gate door. Doesn't this image speak of warmth and welcoming?
The changing of seasons can demand a new paint scheme. When using the bold color of orange or a color in the orange family, tone it down with browns, deep reds and creams.
What is it we really look forward to each fall season? Do you love pillows, throws, poufs, blankets and rugs? These are the things that make a house cozy, warm and inviting.

I hope these ideas and images inspire you to start your fall decorating. Are there any you would use in your home? Looking forward to hearing from you. Comments are welcome and appreciated.
Love Your Home and have fun decorating!

Love Your Home Series by Pacific Home Furniture: The Last Hurrah to Summer
We hope you did and that you feel a sense of accomplishment or perhaps just more relaxed!
Isn't Labor Day just a holiday for banks to be closed? No, Labor Day is a tribute to the working men and women and for many of us the end of Summer.
Pacific Home Furniture is looking forward to the Fall season, but we want to share with you The Last Hurrah to Summer. We have included great ideas for you to relish this last bit of summer living.
1. Have a party or a back yard BBQ. Decide in advance if your get together will be pot luck or how you would like to handle the menu. Be sure this is on the invitation. Have your guests contact you if they will be attending and if you have decided on potluck, this would be the time they can share with you, the dish idea they will be bringing.
2. The park is always a place to have a fun family day. Hiking, a baseball game or if everyone is up for it a game of touch football.
3. Put together a camping trip right in your own back yard. Once the tent is set up, wiki How has more ideas, so I am going to let them convey my thoughts for this fun family activity.
4. A weekend getaway. Condé Nast said, according to Expedia, data has proved, "We may be procrastinators if we are just now planning a Labor Day weekend getaway." (Though we prefer "spontaneous.") "Turns out 80% of us wait until August to book that weekend getaway." Let them show you their 12 Great Last-Minute Labor Day Getaways. They have included air travel guides, best restaurants and how to visit Disney like a pro. This one gets my vote.
5. Have a picnic (this can be combined with the park idea). Just add your favorite foods.
All Recipes has every recipe imaginable to put together a feast for your Labor Day picnic.
We hope you are one of the fortunate ones to have a 3 day holiday weekend. Enjoy these last bittersweet days of summer because before we know it the busyness of the holidays will be here.

Simple Design and Renovation Help To Achieve The Look You Want
Hiring an interior designer may seem overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. These simple tips will help give you some guidance and what to expect. Whether it is a renovation transformation to your home or redecorating a room, the help of an interior designer can give you the desired results you want to accomplish.
Just how do you find the right interior designer? There are many resources, especially the internet, but word of mouth is the best. Ask your family and friends for referrals.
When meeting for the first time be prepared to share with your designer photos from magazines or other resources that interest you. The designer should also bring to the meeting ideas that may be helpful. This meeting is always a useful experience and creates conversation pointed toward your goal.
There are many questions a good designer will ask. Here are just a small sample of getting to know you and your needs.
- How many people live in the house? How many are children? Do guests come and stay overnight?
- Are there pets in the house? This could affect your choice of finishes.
- How old is the wiring? Will it need replacing? This question generally involves a renovation.
- What are your taste in styles and furnishings? Minimal, Traditional, Contemporary, Coastal, Rustic. Possibly you want to mix several.
- What colors do you like and dislike?
After the initial consultation, there will be several other meetings with your designer, which will include talking about a budget, a trip to go window shopping to find out more about your tastes, a floor plan, a sample board, (this is one of the easiest ways to see how the design will look), then the perspective drawings of the proposed scheme. All of this will bring to you, the client, a clear prospective of the final design. Once everything is decided and the interior designer has the okay from you, all the work will be scheduled to bring the design to completion.
Here are some simple tips you can do to start making a design statement in your home.
Rearrange your furniture (it's free!) Turn your biggest piece of furniture toward a focal point, such as a fireplace or window. Or angle a sofa, chair or bed away from your wall. If you don't like how it turns out, try again. Via BHG.

National Maritime Day
Honoring the Industry of the Sea
National Maritime Day has been celebrated on May 22 every year since 1933. The day
honoring the United States’ maritime industry is celebrated on the date the
first American steamship, Savannah, set sail from Savannah, Georgia on a
trans-oceanic voyage by steam power.
National Maritime Day is a very important day in America not just to recognize the
benefits of the industry but also to recognize the men and women who serve our country
in the maritime industry. Men and women who serve under the Army Corps of Engineers, Coast Guard, National Guard, Navy, Marines, and in
the Port Authorities along with several other industries serve the maritime
industry while they serve our country. It has also become a day to remember those lost at sea in service to our country.
How do you
celebrate National Maritime Day?
Much like
Memorial Day or the Fourth of July! Bring out your red, white, and blue,
parades, pool parties, BBQ’s, and of course a little nautical decor. Anchors
and boats
are perfect party decor to honor this special National Maritime Day and be sure to check in your area to see if any special events are being held. Odd are, if you live near the sea, there will be one!
Anchors Away!

Memorial Day: How to put a Unique and Nautical Twist on Celebrating America's Heroes
Party Tips and Ideas to Celebrate Memorial Day and Honor America’s Heroes
Pacific Home Furniture loves to
support, honor, and remember the men, women, and animals that have served the
United States of America. Memorial Day
began as Decoration Day after the Civil War and became an official federal holiday
in 1971.
There are
multiple ways to celebrate Memorial Day and to honor those who have sacrificed
themselves for our freedom. Some families may choose to go to memorial sites,
cemeteries to visit loved ones, museums, parades, firework displays, festivals,
or by holding a party themselves. No matter how you celebrate remember to
celebrate this Memorial Day because freedom is a beautiful thing!
Pacific Home
Furniture wants to help you host a Memorial Day party with coastal flair. Here’s
some tips and tricks to hosting a Memorial Day party for families and some fun decor ideas with a nautical twist:
- Fly
the Flag – It’s not Memorial Day without displaying theAmerican Flag proudly! So have it waving in the wind and for decorations on tables to celebrate the day.
- Memorial Day is known to be the “unofficial mark to summer” so set a menu of cookout foods such as: burgers, hot-dogs, BBQ, potato salad, pasta salad, fruit, veggies, chips, etc. Things that can be served buffet style to keep the line moving and won’t necessarily spoil after a couple hours in the heat.
- Ice cold beverages are a must for any Memorial Day party! Offer guests a variety of sodas, lemonade, tea, waters, and even a special punch. Maybe try this Pink Rhubarb Punch Recipe for a refreshing drink.
- Arrange games for every one of all ages to get involved in throughout the day to keep things active and have fun. Pools are fun but even if you don’t have one, arrange a sandbox for the little ones, volleyball or baseball for the older ones, and you can even make it interesting with a giant game of outdoor twister.
Memorial Day Decor:
- Make it unique. Everyone will use Red, White, and Blue because it’s Memorial Day but that doesn't mean everyone’s house has to look the same. Try different designs with flags. Add your own twist to decor as well like nautical touches.
- Use a table runner, like the Sardine Indigo Runner on White Linen, to help spotlight the tables. The runner will also give off a cozier vibe and make cleaning up a little bit easier.
- Add touches of red and blue throughout the backyard or wherever you may celebrate. You can use vases such as the Essentials Marine Blue Polka Dot Vase to hold red or white flowers as a centerpiece for tables. Try using the Wooden Red Anchor with Hook Rope for accent decor as a fun red touch to the summer decor.
- If you need a mat or a towel to set hot dishes or platters on, keep it with decor and try the Starfish Red Kitchen Towel. This gorgeous towel is perfect for the coastal touch to decor and the Stars and Stripes of Memorial Day!
Enjoy the
festivities of Memorial Day this May but please remember the true reason we
celebrate – Our Heroes!

Spring Inspired!
Using Pink and Posies in a Girl’s Bedroom
At Pacific Home Furniture, we love
to take some inspiration from nature.
With flowers blooming and birds singing, one can’t help but feel a
little whimsical and for a girl’s bedroom, this flight of fancy is perfect. A little feminine, but we believe this
inspiration will also span through the years.
The rose
garland rug makes a perfect base.
It anchors the room but also gives her something soft and colorful under
foot.
We absolutely adore the Carolina
poster bed. The elegant lines of
the tall poster give a nod to formality and tradition while the playful color
of Jambalaya makes the bed soft and fun for girls. This color choice is a popular one for this
season – Panetone
calls it Strawberry
Ice and it is one of the spring trends for 2015.
We’ve chosen to echo the flowers in the rug with a fun daisy
print in fuchsia. The asterisk
mirror adds both a little glam and curvy, feminine lines. For a little touch of sweetness for the
nightstand or dresser, the Florina
milk glass bowl which picks up on the green in the rug and the sweet
little bird perched on the side just fits.
