On-line Catalog a Real Hit with Vintage-house & Garden Lovers

Furniture World Magazine

Relief is in site, or sight, however you look at. A user-friendly Website devoted to craftsman-inspired products for old homes at www.crafthome.com has become a favorite stop to many old-house aficionados. The difficult task of finding period products can be time consuming and frustrating. No advertising, or animations clutter up the simple to navigate pages, which number well over 700. Clear, fast loading, large pictures eliminate eyestrain. One page encompasses all the product categories alphabetically for easy maneuvering. Listening to the restored vintage telephones ring and doorbells chime is an added plus. The site has become popular with owners of newer homes too. Those wanting to add a touch of classic charm find it a good fit. Some of the categories include lighting, rugs, mailboxes, arbors, curtains/rods, doorknockers, fireplace tools, heat registers, hardware, reproduction fabrics, historic flags, clocks, art tiles, pottery, bronze and slate plaques, pillows, push button light switches, copperware, as well as period house numbers, prints, stationery, computer clip art, fonts, picture/photo frames, mirrors and much more. Japanese décor and signage, popular during the period, are also featured. www.crafthome.com is an indispensable resource for those hard to find interior and exterior reproduction items.
