Everybody Blogs.

Ok, so that’s not entirely true.  But when you start paying attention…the amount of information out there is pretty incredible.

Joe Ruggiero writes a blog detailing his new product releases and interesting information on his current lines.  We carry the line of furniture that Joe designs here at CCINO…here’s a great new sofa he’s introducing at the Highpoint International Furniture Market this week.

One of our very favorite design blogs here at CCINO is Design*Sponge.  Grace Bonney writes a lovely blog that includes design before and afters, sneak peeks into some incredible homes, and a wonderful DIY section.

She delves into other areas related to the home as well, such as gardening, flower arranging, and cooking.  We love her blog for a daily dose of inspiration.

Some  of our other favorite design blogs are Apartment Therapy, Decor 8, Shelteriffic, and Remodelista.  These are great sites to go to for ideas before heading into CCINO to work with one of our designers.  These blogs are also a good way for our designers to keep current with the trends and learn what’s going on with the design community at large.

Personally, my favorite place to shop online has got to be Etsy.  Not so much a blog as an online crafting community, you can pretty much find anything you’re looking for on Etsy.  And you know that it was handmade by someone who loves their work.  The best thing about Etsy is that you can have a direct relationship with the person who is creating your product.  Most products can be customized, which takes your gift or purchase for yourself to the next level.  

We believe in handcrafted, personalized goods at CCINO too.  All our upholstery is made in America, by artisans who have worked for years to perfect their craft.   And – we’ll personalize your sofa by putting your name in it.  Now that’s about as personal as it gets.
