News from Gregory Interiors Add A Punch of Color With Flower Power from Ankasa Vibrant color is the big news for home fashion this spring. Tangerine. Electric Blue.  Yellow.  It’s easy to add a splash of each and freshen up any room or patio instantly with decorative pillows like these from Ankasa.  Made with water-resistant, fade-resistant and easy-to-clean fabric in a variety of designs and styles, you can literally brighten the mood with the toss of a pillow.   Cleaning Your Outdoor Cushions With proper care, cushions designed for exterior household use will last a very long time.  To clean and remove stains, fill your tub, or a large rubber maid bin or garbage can with mild detergent and hot water. If the cushions are solid white add bleach for a 1:4 ratio, to help kill any mildew. Rinse thoroughly. For colored cushions, you cannot use bleach without damaging the color, so be certain to wash these more frequently.  Dry in the sunshine for a couple of days to lighten stains and help kill any remaining mildew.  If your cushions are past their prime, it’s easy to replace the old fabric with new, highly resistant materials made specifically for outdoor use.  The color and pattern choices are unlimited like this Kravet reversible Sunbrella fabric

GI On The Move The past year at Gregory Interiors has been filled with many new opportunities. A satellite office was opened in Naples, Florida with Susan Gregory completing several projects there for old and new clients alike.  The Essex office was busy with many new client projects and additional staff.  Office Manager Joan Meek returned after a brief sabbatical and Susan Daniels joined as a design associate. This is our first newsletter and we hope you enjoy it. We would love to hear any feedback about the newsletter. Susan
