“After we produce the materials, it takes from four to eight hours to install,” said Rebecca Erdmann, co-owner of Sand & Swirl in Ogden. “We use high quality raw materials and usually only have one person in your home working on the project.”

If dreary forecasts get your spirits down now that it’s officially autumn, consider taking control by adding cheerful colors to your home. Summer greens and vibrant colors of flowers can be preserved with just a few simple “magical” design strokes. Let’s see how.

Neutral carpets, hardwood floors, tile or marble flooring can be awakened with colorful area rugs. Area rugs or simple throw rugs can transform a room without the expense of remodeling. Once a colorful area rug has been selected, add a few accent pieces of the same colors throughout the room for balance and continuity.
