Best Products from Awards

"Interiors & Sources" publication has announced their 2012 Reader's Choice awards and I would like to share a few of the products I am particularly drawn to, and impressed by.    

Bamboo Wall-Covering

Here is a great new wall (or ceiling!) treatment available from Architectural Systems.  It is Eco Dimensions' bamboo wall panels.  They are made from pressed bamboo pulp - a rapidly renewable and lovely resource - and can be stained or painted to any color.  Remember this when you want to create drama on your next accent wall.

This year the Denver Home and Garden Show featured a select few "Hot New Products" and one of my favorite was the Pine Bark Beetle Wood Shutter from Blind Corners and Curves. 
In Colorado alone the Pine Beetle has devastated a few million acres of forest. 
Wood workers and craftsman are finding creative ways to utilize and reclaim the wood and bark left from these fallen trees. Because of the beetle's infestation, the shutter they produce  are more rustic in nature and have streaks of gray-blue undertones.  The past few year's have proven that taupe and gray are popular base colors for design, and this type of shutter  blends beautifully with many different interior styles.
