    Local Artist's View Through Acrylic Plastic

    By the looks of his art, you wouldn’t believe that Lou Sprecher had only been painting for 2 ½ years. Sprecher uses acrylic to create figurative impressionism and create the feeling of looking through a window. Most recently, his work has earned him a spot in the Galeria Regina in Houston, Texas.

    Why Your Pergola or Patio Cover Should Include a Plastic Roof?

    Whether you call them pergolas, arbors, gazebos, or just patio covers you have probably run across one of these structures that forms a semi shaded walkway or sitting area either in backyards, resorts, or even in garden parks. Pergolas are often added to an outdoor space as a design feature and they can be decorated with flowers, plants, and lights. The space below the pergola can be used for a number of things such as: you may find a collection of chaise lounge chairs accompanied by a side table to hold your drink of choice, or to house an outdoor grill and kitchen perfect for an evening barbeque.

    It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like…..

    I know what you are thinking right now….the end of the phrase is all too familiar. And yes, it has been looking that way since Labor Day. Every year the holiday season seems to appear earlier and earlier, and I enjoy every minute of it. The lights, the music, the special programs at local malls, schools and churches all help us find the excitement that comes with this time of year. I hope this season will be the very best for you and your family. I encourage you to attend programs at your local church, to find the real reason for celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. After all, there is no Christmas without Christ. I love the slogan of Kay Jewelers…every Kiss begins with Kay. Likewise, every Christmas begins with Christ.

How Can We Help?

We'd love to answer your plastic questions or quote your next project.
