Sturbridge Yankee Workshop Features New Fall Furnishings

PORTLAND, Maine - Sept. 6, 2013 - PRLog -- Wall art is an important aspect to consider when updating the style of a room.  Sturbridge Yankee Workshop recommends looking for prints that work well with current color schemes, or offer a complementary pop of color.  If a room features a predominately neutral color scheme, add interest with a piece of art that features vibrant colors.  For a bold statement of color, try the Bluebird’s Song Print (http://www.sturbridgeyankee.com/the-bluebirds-song-print.html?utm_source=prarticle&utm_medium=pressrelease&utm_campaign=fall13) by well-known artist Chuck Pinson.  Another option, the Colors of Fall Print by Bonnie White, offers a more muted color scheme with classic folk art appeal. These museum quality prints are available now for $99.95 each.

Create an instant effect in a dining room with fall themed items that showcase the mood of the season.  Sturbridge Yankee Workshop recommends keeping a variety of table settings and textiles to interchange all season long.  Greet the start of the autumn season with items such as the felt Apple Table Runner (http://www.sturbridgeyankee.com/apple-table-runner.html?u...) ($24.95), and transition to the end of the fall season by highlighting a harvest theme with the Pumpkin Table Runner ($39.95).  Sturbridge Yankee Workshop says that rotating table linens throughout the seasons ensures that the style of the room will not become stale.

As the seasons transition into colder nights and shorter days, more time is spent inside the home.  Whether dedicating evening hours to hobbies and crafts, or spending the day catching up on letters and invoices, functional furniture is essential.  For smaller spaces, Sturbridge Yankee Workshop recommends the Two Tone Corner Desk, available now for $299.95.  Crafted to fit snugly into a corner, this desk will offer ample work space while not overpowering the room.  If space is not an issue, the Cambridge Collection, available with a desk and two bookcase size options, will offer a grand statement with classical appeal. The bookcases are available for $299.95­-$349.95 and the desk is currently presented at $599.95.

Sturbridge Yankee Workshop says that accent lighting enhances the longer days spent indoors during inclement weather.  They recommend reusing an old wine bottle, perhaps with a favored label, to create instant mood lighting with the Wine Topper (http://www.sturbridgeyankee.com/wine-topper.html?utm_sour...), available for $9.95.  This accent piece holds two taper candles and offers soft lighting wherever it is placed. For additional candle light, Sturbridge recommends the colonial inspired Sea Lanterns, in either the small or medium size, for $14.95-$19.95.
