Our Artes
and Crafts Grilles on the Big Screen
We were flattered to find that Steiner Studios chose six of our
06x24 Artes and Crafts grilles in the production of "The Nanny
Diaries", starring Scarlett Johansson as the Nanny. Our grilles
added authenticity and an attention to detail to the production.
They also helped to paint a picture of the "old money wealth and
sophistication" of the house and family. Of course these grilles
project that same image even when they aren't in the movies. Artes

Neo-Classical
Revival?
It seems that Classical has been making a slow comeback over the
last 15 years or so. Classical interior design for the foyer and
the formal rooms goes with the traditional styles favored in new
construction. At first, the Classical revival began to appear
in the Tuscan style, the most minimalist of the Classical orders.
But now the higher, more ornate orders of Classical architecture
and interior design are appearing more and more frequently.
Classical is an enduring style which is the epitome of all that
has preceded it. Classical has as many names as it has had revivals.
Throughout the history of Classical architecture, which began
with the Greeks and Romans, it has been called many names: Classical,
Italian Renaissance, Italianate, Greek Revival, Federal, Colonial,
Adam, Georgian, Rococo, Baroque, Neo-Classical and Beaux Arts
just to name a few. Each time Classical was revised it had some
different look in ornamentation but retained the strict sense
of order and symmetry of classical architecture.
The style of architecture during the Reign of Louis XVI and Marie
Antoinette was Neo-Classical. Using all the interior design magazines
as indications of trends in interior design, we predict a revival
in Neo-Classical. This movie may just accelerate this trend.

Our Louis
XIV HVAC Grilles Are Fit For A King (or Queen)!
Ugly metal industrial-louvered Grille or beautiful Louis XIV Grille?
Such an easy decision!

Ever notice how horror movies always feature old Victorian houses?
We always admired "The Addams Family" house, which was a Second
Empire Mansion complete with a mansard roof, tower and ornamental
iron work. So it was not a stretch for NS Pictures to use Beaux-Artes
grilles in their hit TV show "Supernatural". Evil forces waft
through various Beaux-Artes grilles as smoke in the show. We think
it is brilliant cinematography and visually chilling. In addition,
episode 6 "No Exit", airing November 2nd, features our Italian
Renaissance grilles, with sinister fingers protruding through.

Bob Vila's "On The Level" Blog mentions how many of Beaux-Artes
HVAC Grilles can also be used as Speaker Grilles.
Interestingly enough, Bob Vila's staff selected the same Grille
as the "Supernatural" staff. Simply turn the Grille sideways and
voilà — you have a beautiful and elegant Speaker

Increase! We Have Hundreds Of Medallions In Stock!
Our Recessed Light Medallions transform any recessed light fixture.
We have stocked up on our Medallions in a wide variety of different
sizes and finishes - with plenty of Medallions in Flat White,
so you can paint them to match your ceiling or faux-finish them
yourself.
Are you giving a Holiday Party and need to give your place a unique
look? No problem! Consider a ceiling make-over by adding decorative
Medallions to all the recessed lights in your Kitchen, Front Foyer,
Living Room and Powder Room. These are the rooms where everyone
will gather, (especially the Kitchen). Simply replacing the little
white "goof-ring" around your recessed lights with our decorative
Medallions will make a huge impact on your ceilings. Remember
that the ceiling is the largest visible plane in the room. Homeowners
spend huge budgets on wood, marble or carpet floors, but never
spend anything on decorating their ceilings. Medallions by themselves
can have a lot of visual impact on your ceilings.
So if you're looking for compliments on how great your place looks,
definitely try dressing up your recessed lights with our decorative
Medallions. Give us a call today, we have lots in stock, especially
Victorians (6" an 5"), plus Florentine and Regency Medallions
as well.
