Our Christmas Present Is Having YOU As A Customer
During the holiday season, we’re reflect on what a wonderful year we’ve had – 2014 has brought in lots of new customers, thanks to referrals, as well as seeing faithful clients we’ve had the pleasure of serving for years. Old faces and new ones, we love to make homes look their best, all while keeping them comfortable, practical and stylish. And over our many, many years in business, we’ve made so many good friends. It’s rare for a business to be able to say that their clients are also their friends – and for that, we are truly blessed. Last week, a customer came in to see us. After thanking them for using our services, they looked...
Read MoreGive The Gift Of Good Taste This Holiday Season
We all know someone who could use a little “helpful advice” about the décor of their home. You know the home we’re talking about – the thread-bare rugs that semi-cover the hallways, the eye-burning 1970s-inspired wallpaper in the dining room, the curb-find furniture that looks like it was ravaged by a pack of hungry dingos. But how do you tell them discretely that their house looks like it should grace the cover of “Tacky Homes Magazine?” You don’t – you just surprise them with an Elegant Changes gift certificate! A gift certificate from Elegant Changes doesn’t have to be for someone who has a hideous home. It can be for...
Read MoreReason #21 Why You Need A Slipcover: Wet Dog
Do you know how I welcome in the winter? With dirty, wet paw prints all over my house. And the first place my dog goes when we come in from a snow-filled walk in the sofa… with his wet paws. My cream-coloured couch was impossible to clean – that is, until I covered it with a dark grey slipcover. Now, there’s no trace of paw prints anywhere, and when it starts to look a little “ruff”, I just throw it in the wash. Good as new! That’s just reason #21 why slipcovers are so useful. Dog owners know how hard it is to keep their houses clean in the winter (and the spring), and a quality, custom-made slipcover makes keeping your home looking...
Read MoreKeep The Chill Of Winter Outside With Quality Drapes
As I type this, the snow is falling. Sure, it looks lovely, but man… is it cold out! Did you know you can keep it warm inside – without cranking the furnace up – with quality draperies? The ones you buy at the store aren’t made for our Canadian winters. They’re flimsy, unlined and are all show. But Elegant Changes combines style with function. Our custom-made drapery includes a black-out liner, which helps keep the cold out, and keeps you toasty warm all winter long – all while keeping your heating bills down. These drapes are an investment and will save you money long-term. And if you order your drapes now, they’ll be ready in time for the holidays. And...
Read MoreUpholstery or Slipcover – Can You Tell?
We had a wing chair in the store that was in dire need of a facelift. Instead of throwing it out, we decided that a new, vibrant fabric covering was just what the doctor ordered. The chair pictured here is the “After” shot, and almost everyone who walks into Elegant Changes assumes that we upholstered it. But guess what? We didn’t. What you’re looking at is one of Elegant Changes famous custom slipcovers! That’s what you get when you place an order – a slipcover that fits so well, it looks like the piece of furniture in question has been upholstered. And until next Saturday (November 15), you can get a custom slipcover for any piece of furniture for about 25...
