YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE!! JUST BULBS E. 60 ST. NYC

As the sign in the window says "even dim-wits know to come to this store" filled with over 26,000 light bulbs of every color, size, shape and many you'd never even imagine (strings of mini Ruby Red Slippers!) - -all available both to the trade and to everyone else.  You can't help but smile as you approach the front door and once past the threshold you'll break into a huge grin.  Lights, lights, lights everywhere!  It's carnival, it's festival it's fun!

The Power of Purple

The Color Purple - Sometimes tabooed, sometimes trumpeted.  Well, it's back in full force!  Just open up September's Traditional Home for the evidence.  3 paint manufacturers are represented, all displaying this timely tone:  Glidden (Purple Periwinkle!), Sherwin-Williams and Valspar.  3 fabric houses are on this same wagon: Osborne & Little's stylized floral/paisley print on Roman shades and a bed,  Kravet's eye-catching full page advert and a Ralph Lauren / Brunschwig & Fils purple-blue & white Living Room. Obviously it's "Purple Haze - All Around"!
