Our Friends at Fells Point Surf Co are having their annual Summer Blowout Sale!  We’re talking $20 Boardshorts and Dresses.  $5-10 Flip Flops and T-shirts.  Ridiculously low prices on just about everything!  Some stuff is 90% off! It’s all in the Towson Store at the Shops at Kenilworth (right downstairs from Su Casa).  It’s this weekend only, so hurry in and we’ll see you there!

We finally opened the newest location: The Shops at Kenilworth.  It’s just about as big as the Fells Point and Ellicott City stores and we’ve definitely been filling it up more and more each day.  All the stuff you’ve come to love, plus some new items you won’t have seen before.  Stop by and say hi, we’d love to see you!

You just picked us Best of Baltimore for the 5th year in a row!  This is so awesome and we thank you very much!  Without Baltimore’s Best Customers, we couldn’t be Baltimore’s Best Furniture store!

Each week at kickoff for every Baltimore Raven’s game, we will announce a new special!  Follow this for the whole season and you will save a ton of money on special order merchandise for your home.  That’s right, you pick the style, size color etc!  Get exactly what you want for your home at up to 50% off!  Just go to our Facebook page,  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Baltimore-MD/Su-Casa/42947831395   and you’ll see the special posted.  This special will be limited to the first 50 people who print it and bring it in to any one of our stores.  If you have Facebook on your phone, you can bring your phone in, show us the special and we’ll give it to you that way too!  Just remember, only 50 fans will get this special each week! 

We know tonight’s game is late and the special won’t be announced until 7p, but as long as 50 people didn’t make it in before you, you can come in on Tuesday!

There are a few restrictions to this special.  One purchase per person/address/household/family per week.  You cannot combine it with any other discount.  Not valid on prior purchases or stock items.

The editors of Baltimore Magazine have picked PAD as the Best Furniture Store for Urban Furnishngs!  We sell some of the cleanest, simplest best looking furniture for city living!  So much of the furniture has a hidden purpose, like Sofas that fold flat into beds or Dining Tables that double in size with completely hidden, self-storing leaves!

Time:         10a -4p

But wait there’s more! As always Fells Point Surf Co and The Corduroy Button will be there with amazing deals too!

SO WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS YEAR?

As part of our commitment to give back to our communities, we’ve recently teamed up with
The Gallery Church to establish a Furniture Bank for less fortunate individuals who need help or a fresh start. We’re currently offering FREE haul away of any usable used furniture when you have furniture delivered. Through our partnership, We’ll clean it up, fix it up and deliver it at no charge to people in need of furniture and a little help.

How can you help?
Well, you’ll probably be driving a larger vehicle to the warehouse sale, so you can get all of your great deals home, right? Why not throw in a couple of household furniture items you don’t want or need anymore. If they are in good usable condition, we’ll give you store credit for each and every item! You won’t be able to use the credit at the warehouse, but you can use it on any purchase at
Su Casa or PAD, and not just this weekend!

For Example at this sale: Bring us a good, working floor lamp, we’ll give you a $5 credit!
Bring us a good, clean living room chair, we’ll give you a $25 credit!
Bring us a good, clean Sofa, we’ll give you a $50 credit!
Bring us a good, dining table and 4 chairs, we’ll give you a $75 credit! You get the idea!

We really want to jumpstart this campaign, so there’s no limit to how much store credit we will give you, just remember, we will only accept items that are usable and something that someone else would want and need.

No sofas missing cushions, no table with only 3 out of 4 legs, no mattresses.

In case you missed it, this Sunday’s Baltimore Sun had Su Casa in it 2X!  Once for some furniture for some of our more famous clients and once for featured items from the Ellicott City store.  If you missed either one, click on the link!  http://www.baltimoresun.com/features/home-garden/  

Or better yet, both stores have all of the items in the stories on the floor for you to check out in person.

4/8/2010 - Sari’s Design Tip of the Week:

Tips for an Ideal Bedroom Layout
————————————————-

MAXMIZE THE VIEW:
Floor-to-ceiling windows in an urban bedroom offer a breathtaking view of the city and are the room’s best asset. Rather than arranging the furnishings to compete with the windows, plan the layout around them.

Tip: Place the bed parallel to the window, not directly across from it. This arrangement allows you to enjoy the view, but also turn away from it if the light is too bright.

————————————————-

KEEP IT SIMPLE:
Create a restful bedroom by limiting furnishings, accessories and patterns. I recommend maximizing a room’s visual space by minimizing details.

Tip: Don’t fill the room with unnecessary items or let it become overly decorated with fussy window treatments or a plethora of busy patterns.

————————————————-

MIRRORED REFLECTION:
Make a tight bedroom feel open and spacious with properly placed mirrors.

Tip: Disguise closet doors with massive mirrors to visually double the space in the bedroom.

————————————————-

DIVIDE AND CONQUER:
A long and narrow bedroom can be a challenge. Create two distinct spaces: a cozy bed area and a separate entertainment area just for relaxing.

Tip: Create multiple functional zones in a large room for a hotel suite-like feel.

4/1/2010 - Sari’s Design Tip of the Week:

Decorate on the Cheap with Everyday Items
——————————————————————————————
Use Wineglass as Candleholder

Original purpose: Toasting to health and good cheer.
Aha! use: Casting romantic shadows at the dinner table. Place a votive candle in a thick-walled glass, anchored in a bed of sand or small pebbles (it makes wax cleanup a snap).
Reward: Lighting that actually goes with your table-ware, unlike those circa-1984 brass candlesticks.

——————————————————————————————
Serve Drinks on a Picture Frame

Original purpose: Displaying your favorite Garry Winogrand print.
Aha! use: Serving cocktails. Place a double of your favorite photo (so as not to ruin the original in case of condensation) under the glass and set out the drinks.
Reward: A picture-perfect evening.

——————————————————————————————
Use Dish Towels as Placemats

Original purpose: Drying wineglasses.
Aha! use: Bistro-style table setting. Let a colorful dish towel span the center of your table and you’ll get two place mats for the price of an easy wash-and-dry staple.
Reward: A little bit of Paris in your own home (no passport required).

——————————————————————————————
Tall Vase as Toilet Paper Container

Original purpose: Showing off all those long-stemmed roses from gentleman callers.
Aha! use: Helping toilet paper hide in plain sight.
Reward: Guests don’t have to root around for a new roll in your not absolutely, positively tidy vanity, and you always know when you’re running low.

——————————————————————————————
Planter as Table

Original purpose: Potting petunias.
Aha! use: Serving as an occasional table. Bring your planter inside when the season is over, top it with a piece of glass, and enlist it at winter gatherings to hold cocktails or light up a dark corner.
Reward: Beauty that is also functional?and requires no weeding or watering.
