Easy-Care Old World Heritage Designs Available Now at Douglas Furniture
When you purchase a fine-quality design from MacKenzie-Dow, you'll experience a surprisingly timeless blend of Old World heritage and modern-day practicality.

That's because MacKenzie-Dow specializes in the craftsmanship of superb quality 17th- and 18th-century European-inspired solid-wood furnishings that resonate as well today as they did years ago.

Situated in West Virginia, local craftsmen and women employ centuries-old woodworking and joinery techniques to construct elegant creations that promise both enduring value and sophisticated style.

Working with Wild Black Cherry, a species native to America's abundant Appalachian forests, MacKenzie-Dow appreciates nature's blemishes that do not affect the structural integrity of the product. In fact, small splits, knots and other natural "defects" become attributes, rather than flaws, with the addition of an unparalleled finish that begs to be touched - not to mention used - in a home full of life.
MacKenzie-Dow designs are now available at Douglas Furniture; 255-8366

Outdoor Living Environments Increasing in Popularity
A recent American Institute of Architect's Home Design Trends Survey had this to say about housing trends: "Despite a downsizing of home sizes and general concerns about keeping housing costs affordable, residential architects note the growing interest among households in improving their properties, even as lot sizes continue to shrink. At the forefront is the growing movement toward outdoor living."

Locally, SCV homeowners are adding exterior elements like stamped concrete hardscapes, pools, decks, fountains, water-saving gardens and even complete outdoor rooms, which often include built-in fireplaces, enclosed patios and gourmet kitchens.

There's still time to enjoy your own outdoor living environment this season.
