Lumens.com Highlights Favorite New Lighting and Furniture Products from Moooi, Foscarini, Kartell and More











Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) January 17, 2012

Lumens.com highlights new contemporary lighting and furniture products for the spring season, including new releases from brands like Foscarini, Moooi, Kartell and more. Trends seen among emerging new products include efficient LED lamping, light and airy designs and the use of unconventional materials to create unique products.

Lumens.com has introduced the following favorite contemporary lighting and furniture products, newly available at Lumens.com:

Clamp Table Lamp by Pablo Designs: A desk lamp that is designed for simplicity and engineered for sustainability. Designed by Dana Cannam, the Clamp Table Lamp combines warm, diffused light with the beauty of wood and the brilliance of LED technology.

Air Collection by LZF: This table lamp and wall sconce from Irish designer Ray Power are made from manipulated Polywood to create a stand and shade that suggest visual and technical stability while remaining light and adaptable.

BE Light Task Lamp by QisDesign for Square Walnut: A task light that is at once adjustable and compact, fit with LED lamping and a clever hinge that folds the lamp completely flat or extends it outward up to 135 degrees.

I.Cono Collection by Vibia: Light, symmetrical design from Lievore, Altherr and Molina, the I.Cono table, floor and wall lights are fully adjustable and finished in glossy, lacquered aluminum.

Delta Collection by Rich Brilliant Willing: Coming from the unlikely inspiration of propulsion systems and rooftop vents, the contemporary lighting fixtures in the Delta Collection evoke the same precision of mechanical gears, adding a textural element to modern spaces.

Heracleum Suspension by Moooi: This decorative LED fixture, inspired by the Heracleum plant, consists of 63 polycarbonate lenses as “leaves,” and “branches” made from a delicate metal wire that powers the lights. Created by Dutch designer Bertjan Pot.

Binic Table Lamp by Foscarini: A fun and portable design exuding bold colors and soft, fluorescent illumination. Designed by Ionna Vautrin, made of ABS with a “head” slightly titled in childlike curiosity.

La Linea Alpha Wall Sconce by Flos: This slender, architectural design from designer Ron Gilad brings grace and LED efficiency to a space. A slim aluminum stem/shade curls away from the wall plate and can be rotated to create differing washes of indirect light across the wall.

Bernie Turbo Series by Holtkoetter: With a Bauhaus “form follows function” design, this series of floor and table lamps is available in low-voltage halogen or energy-efficient LED.

Aplomb Pendant by Foscarini: Aptly named, the Foscarini Aplomb Pendant ensures precise verticality, with its concrete shade pulling the cable taut and lighting a room with a strong and handsome presence. Designed by Lucidi and Pevere.

Audrey Chair by Kartell: From Piero Lissoni, this clean and lightweight design is made from die-cast aluminum, the first to deviate from the typical plastic makeup of Kartell products.

Wig Pendant by FontanaArte: A structural form visualized through smaller, individual elements. The first lighting project from industrial designer Chris Hardy, the Wig Pendant was inspired by the relationships that connect an individual to a greater community.

Announcing the Availability of Their Latest Litter, Insightout Kennel Offers Their Perspective on How to Prepare Olde English Bulldogge Puppies for Placement in New Homes










Frankston, Texas (PRWEB) January 06, 2012

Insightout Kennel in Frankston,Texas, is currently placing their newest litter of Olde English Bulldogge puppies with new families. To prepare their puppies for a happy, successful life, the owners of Insightout Kennel state they have established a socialization and training process. At Insightout, Dave and Bobbye Bolestridge are of the mind that preparing their puppies with a strong start will ensure they have every chance to be healthy and good companions.

At insightout Kennel, Dave and Bobbye Bolestridge socialize and train their Olde English Bulldogge puppies before placing them in new homes. Dave says, “Socialization and basic training are essential for a secure, well adjusted puppy. Puppies that are comfortable and happy in a crate, puppies that know outside is the appropriate place to eliminate and puppies that understand and respond to basic commands, such as sit, stay, down and back make great companions from day one.”

The Bolestridges interact and work with the individual puppies on a daily basis. They extend their socialization and training by taking the puppies to active, busy places to ensure maximum interaction with people. Insightout puppies take turns attending sporting events, visiting the nursing home and going to horse shows. The puppies also play with the neighbor children and go for shopping excursions to the lumber store, plant nursery and pet store. Bobbye insists, “The key is to make sure the social exposure is a positive experience that is not extremely stressful and does not induce fear for the puppies.”

In their approach to preparing a puppy for a new home, Bobbye says that Insightout Kennel’s goal is aimed at reducing the frustration and stress that naturally comes with having a new puppy in the house. “If we can reduce the frustration, we increase the likelihood of a smooth, successful transition for both the puppy and the new family. A trained, well-socialized puppy makes a happy home.”

Amazing Deals on Foreclosed HUD Properties You Don?t Want to Overlook

Amazing Deals on Foreclosed HUD Properties You Don’t Want to Overlook












Portland, OR (PRWEB) December 28, 2011

The Department of Housing and Urban Development, also known as the HUD has recently released an aged inventory list. HUD properties are properties that have gone through the foreclosure process, in some cases previous owners did not maintain home repairs or severely neglected the property and so this is the stigma attached to them. However, it is important to acknowledge that not all HUD properties require restoration and most are in excellent condition. All are considered distressed by nature of the financial loss and loss of value as a result of the foreclosure process.

When a property is acquired after a foreclosure action on an FHA-insured mortgage HUD takes over the property as the new owner and then sells it to a buyer in an attempt to recover the value lost during the foreclosure process. Properties are listed with qualified agents such as John Velez of Keller Williams Realty, a Local Listing Broker. These experienced brokers have been contracted by highly experienced Asset Management Companies such as Pemco LTD who are awarded contracts by HUD to manage the disposition and sell these foreclosed homes. HUD homes go through an extensive evaluation and are priced to sell in their as-is condition. They are priced initially according to an FHA standard appraisal commissioned by HUD and initially available only to owner-occupant purchasers (people who are buying the home as their primary residence). Following the priority period for owner occupants, unsold properties become available to all buyers, including investors. Over time, because HUD is a serious seller, the price can be reduced significantly on homes which have been available for purchase but for one reason or another, have not sold. Most home buyers want a home that is move-in ready. This is why homes that need cosmetic repair can be a much better bargain. There are simply fewer people willing to take advantage of this opportunity.

HUD foreclosed properties are already a fantastic purchase for the buyer but even more so when it comes to what is known as “aged inventory”. This is when a HUD home has been on the market for at least 90 days as HUD will accept the first best offer and most of these properties are far below market value.

For a list of HUD properties or aged inventory contact John Velez at info(at)soldinoregon(dot)com, (503) 625-0284 or visit http://www.hudpemco.com to see all the homes available for purchase. HUD also has a list of their current homes available for purchase at http://www.hudhomestore.com.

Matthew Vettese Rallies Against Report Blaming House Flipping for Recession; Promotes House Flipping as Solution to Economic Crisis

Matthew Vettese Rallies Against Report Blaming House Flipping for Recession; Promotes House Flipping as Solution to Economic Crisis










Alexandria, Virginia (PRWEB) January 06, 2012

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has recently issued a report that claims that investors played a major part in creating the housing bubble that, ultimately, resulted in the economic crisis of 2008. Specifically, the report cites the activity of speculative investors within the real estate market as causing the rapid decline of home values and increase in foreclosures within Nevada, California, Florida, and Arizona. Matthew Vettese, a former house flipper and real estate professional, sees the connection but views house flipping as a way to improve today’s down market.

An article by Cristina Silva, published on boston.com, asserts that the housing bubble was originally caused by subprime, low-down-payment purchases made by real estate investors. As an emerging field that offered a high return on a considerably large investment, flipping houses became popular because such financing options were available. Without having to pay a substantial down payment, Matthew Vettese and other real estate investors were able to spend more money updating and renovating their properties. This investment paid off, as home prices skyrocketed.

Such rapid growth proved unsustainable and the housing bubble popped. This dropped the values of homes and stalled the real estate market, leaving homeowners with inflated mortgages they couldn’t pay. According to Silva, “Investors defaulted in large numbers after home values began to drop in 2006. They accounted for more than 25 percent of seriously delinquent mortgage balances nationwide, and more than a third in Arizona, California, Florida, and Nevada from 2007 to 2009. As a result, millions of homeowners saw their home values decline so that they were worth less than the original purchase price.”

As the country continues to rebuild its economy and climb out of the recession, real estate professionals, including Matthew Vettese, recommend allowing speculators to help restore the economy that they have, largely, brought down. In fact, the Federal Housing Administration has recently extended the ability of real estate investors to secure mortgages that are intended to be sold within 90 days. Experts say that flipping homes in low-income neighborhoods can improve housing quality and residential environments.

While some real estate professionals may discourage flipping, proponents of this tactic hope that allowing investors to put their money into this down economy can help improve the housing market and the overall economic environment of the United States.

ABOUT:

Matthew Vettese is a former real estate professional who participated in the house flipping activities of the early 2000s. An individual who holds real estate and mortgage broker licenses, Matthew Vettese approaches the issue from a unique and well-rounded perspective.
