Back To Campus Essentials
It's that time of the year again.
House By The Shore can help make your new place feel just like home!
Let's start with the basics:
A Great pair of sheets with easy care that are designed with comfort in mind. You will need plenty of good sleep to keep up with classes, studying and the occasional parties :)
Bath towels that are soft, comfortable and in fun colors to help you kick your day off right.
Proper lighting is a must have and at the correct height for your desk so there's no glare in your eyes for those late nights of cramming. We have lamps that match our storage boxes too - check out the Essentials lighting options we have.
Storage is essential to throw things in before your friends and family come to visit. Our Essentials Storage & Book Boxes are fun, colorful and built to last. They come in sets of 3.
Carry your items to class in style with our Sailor Bags:
Our Sailcloth Back Packs are tough stuff with three large compartments.Plus handy interior pockets to keep small items like cell phones, iPods,
and keys organized and easy to find.
Easy access mesh outer pockets hold water
bottles, shoes or gloves. Great for school: Enough room for textbooks,
notebooks and binders, along with sports gear or outerwear and lunch.
Waterproof linings keep wet clothes separate from books and papers.
Wide padded
shoulder straps and padded back panel for all day comfort.Our Sailcloth Computer Bags are great for taking your laptop to class or study sessions. With a padded compartment that fits up to a 17" laptop, an interior section that zips closed for the most important files and two slip in side pockets big enough for files or magazines, there is just tons of room in this sleek, nautical bag. And all of this storage has our waterproof linings and is covered in durable sailcloth to protect your computer. Fold away 'tote' type hand grips and a comfortable shoulder strap.
And finally after a long day of classes your study sessions don't have to be stressful, curl up with a favorite throw and pillow that reminds you of home and have a few extra with lots of color to let your personality shine though.

How to Choose the Right Lamp
Choose the wrong size and it won’t matter how pretty the lamp is!
At House By The Shore, you’ve heard us
talk about scale before and basically that is what it boils down to again in
choosing the correct lamp for your space.
Too large or too small ant the proportions will all be off and as we
mentioned it just won’t matter how pretty the lamp is, it will just look
wrong. Your lamp has to be the right
size for the space. Here are some tips
to finding a lamp that is both stylish and the correct size.
Style – always important!
You want to choose a lamp that fits with the design elements
in
Scale and proportion
are critical!
A small lamp that is designed for a bookshelf will look
pretty odd on the end table next to the sofa in your family room. Keep scale in mind. If you have a large chest as a bedside table
you’re going to want a larger lamp.
Avoid looking up into
a light bulb!
There is nothing worse than sitting in your chair and looking
up into a glaring lightbulb. To know the
height you need, sit in the chair and measure from the table surface to your
eye level. Then you will want to choose
a lamp whose base to the bottom of the shade isn’t taller than this
number. For a bedside table you would do
the same thing from a sitting position.
Variety is the spice
of life!
You want a variety of light sources to not only provide
adequate lighting but also to increase interest. You don’t have to have a matching pair of
lamps, especially in the family room. In
the bedroom it is ok but they don’t have to be the same. However, if different they need to be the
same size and scale.
Change out lamps to
refresh your design!
It is true. Just
changing out your lamps can freshen up your whole design. People will wonder if you redid the whole
room! We tend to forget to update our
lamps and that is a mistake. Styles
change and there are some wonderful new designs, colors and patterns available
in lighting today.
