We are now carrying the Nirvana Swing Chair. The Nirvana Swing is designed to swing silently and effortlessly along the natural path of an arc. A gentle, periodic push on the small handles will allow the chair to swing continuously. The period of motion, designed to be slower than the resting heart rate, creates a calming and peaceful sensation that provides unprecedented stress reduction and an overall sense of well being. Preliminary studies show that the Nirvana Swing produces a reduction of approximately 10% in heart rate and blood pressure after only two minutes of swinging. You have to try it to believe how comfortable it is!

We are very excited that Home Accents Today (a furniture industry magazine) has chosen us as one of their Top 50 Retail Stars for 2008. We are the only store in Alabama to be selected! They base their decision on store design, merchandising, marketing, and creativity in general. Having my own stores has always been a dream of mine and it is truly an honor to be recognized as an innovative leader in these areas. When we built the store it was in a brand new complex and I was presented with an empty concrete and steel box to work with. I had the opportunity to design the space as I envisioned it and i played with lighting ideas, colors, and spatial arrangements to create an open loft like space with 25 foot tall ceilings. It was scary, fun, and exciting all at the same time. Thanks to Home Accents Today for choosing us this year!

Model Homes!!! It's time again for the Huntsville/Madison County Homebuilders Association's Spring Parade of Homes. Richard Cable Interiors is a proud member of the Home Builders Assoc. I personally work with several of the Home Builders creating the look and style for their spec. homes and for custom homes for their clients. Many people are surprised to learn that my design firm is involved so heavily in new home construction. My working with the builders entails selecting everything from the color and style of the brick and stone on the exterior to the interior finishes, colors, trim, moldings, cabinets, and everything else you can possibly choose to create the style of a home. I have even worked with builders to create outside living spaces with fireplaces, water features, and courtyards. Several of our home builder partners are showcased in this weeks Parade of Homes. Mark Harris' homes are featured in Mount Carmel by the River and in the Midtowne on the Park neighborhood in Research Park. We have worked with his sales director Rhonda Pugh to create furnished 'idea homes' in both neighborhoods. We also recently completed a furnished model home for the townhomes at Midtowne on the Park being developed by Streetside Communities, a subsidiary of Enfinger Steele development. Our work can also be seen at the new Westin Hotel Residences sales model on the sixth floor of the new four star hotel. I am also in the process of working with Danesh and Diana Foroughi of StoneCraft Homes on a million dollar home in the Preserve at Clayton Pond on top of Green Mountain. It is open during the Parade as a home in progress. Danesh's homes feature "healthier living environments" and the latest in state of the art building technology and insulating techniques.
