Walls & Ceilings Magazine’s  ‘ Toolbox,’ which features the latest products to hit the market, spotlighted Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS’ new Mt. Vernon Column in the April issue.

 

Part of the PolyStone Premier Custom Collection, the Mt. Vernon, which was named after George Washington’s home on the Potomac, exudes beauty and simplicity.

 

When George Washington renovated his beloved plantation in 1759, he added a stunning 2-story piazza overlooking the Potomac River.  Today’s Mt. Vernon Column affords the same beauty and functionality, giving your home a traditional design element that will last a lifetime.

 

“The PolyStone Premier Custom Collection offers you endless design possibilities, and they are made to last a lifetime,” says Jeffrey L. Davis — Founder of Chadsworth Incorporated.

ADDING CHARACTER with Architectural Details, A New Book from Better Homes & Gardens (Meredith Press) is a book you should pick up if you are interested in what architectural elements can do for your home. Whatever the size, shape, or color of your home, it must have character. And this book tells you how to get it!
A house with character is unique, reflecting its surroundings, history, and the personality of those who live there. Character can be incorporated into any house of any age; it just requires careful attention to detail. Elements that add character imbue a house with a sense of permanence, quality and comfort.
Beautiful moldings, wainscoting and graceful columns are elements that make a house a more inviting and satisfying place. Such details are simple to add, and with high quality craftsmanship and materials, you can give any home grace, presence and style.
“We wanted to stress the Classical Orders in our book,” says editor Paula Marshall, which is why I contacted Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS. Their columns are known for their quality, craftsmanship and design, and they have set the standard in the industry today.”
 
ADDING CHARACTER with Architectural Details gives the reader wonderful ideas and great examples of each architectural element, and takes you step-by-step through the process of deciding what to add to your home to give it character.

Jeffrey L. Davis, the Founder and Principal Designer of Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS was a recent a guest on the popular television show, For Your Home hosted by Vicki Payne and Sloan Payne-Rutter.
 
For Your Home has been public television’s premiere home and garden series for over nine years. Vicki Payne and her daughter Sloan Payne-Rutter take the guesswork out of Do-It-Yourself projects for the home.  They show viewers ‘how to do it’ with easy to understand, step-by-step instructions for projects that range from creating a playroom that doubles as a comfortable spot for overnight guests, to creating an outdoor Pergola.

 

Vicki talked with Jeff about Chadsworth’s new Classical Pergola Line.  They also discussed how you could add character to your home by using columns on the interior as well as the exterior. By adding a pergola, your yard will become another ‘room’, where you and your family will want to spend all your time during the summer and into the fall.
Choose from a 2, 4, 6, or 8-column ‘pergola kit’ that you can buy and install yourself.
“For Your Home is a great place to launch our new line of our ‘pergola kits’, said Davis, viewers will actually see an 8 Column custom pergola being built on the show.”
 
For Your Home inspires viewers to make improvements to their homes and gardens, under the guidance of experts Vicki and Sloan. This dynamic mother and daughter duo are talented, interesting and fun to watch!  For Your Home is seen on public television stations nationwide, as well as in Canada and Japan.  FamilyNet and GoodLife cable networks also carry the show.
