A new twist on green products

Friday, April 23rd, 2010 by susanz

Earth day was yesterday and it got me thinking about our environment.   We hear so much in our industry about recycling materials when remodeling and using products made from recycled products.  But there is little talk about  products that last a long time.  In other words for the past many years we have become a throw away society.  We own 5 sweaters when we can only wear one at a time.  We use a product for a while, even if it is made of recycled materials, shortly tire of it and the item winds up in the dumpster when our tastes change.

When I designed our Convert>able Bath Accessory Collection I thought the idea of being able to change the towel bar to suit the tastes of individual customers was a good idea.  Frankly the design had a great unintended consequence;  you never need to tire of this patented collection.  When your style changes, with the addition of a knob or two the bath accessories can change with you.  The towel bar for the kid’s bathroom  later can move to the laundry room, or pool house or even the kitchen.

Another unintended consequence is the ease of installation.  Many towel bars wiggle and the cover plates fall off the wall.  We call our handyman over and over again to fix them.  But our patented design eliminates this problem all together.  Your handyman need only visit your job one time.  Once installed these bath accessories never move and your handyman does not need to return to the job over and over again.

So my conclusion, if we think of green also as efficiency namely our use of time  gas and expense…a well designed product can be installed easily and efficiently, eliminating return trips and lasts through many changes in home decor.

Now that’s green and that’s Nifty!

The things we take for granted.

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010 by susanz

It is amazing the things we take for granted these days, such as towel bars. You find them everywhere to hold your beautiful towels that descended from the highly prized Turkish towel.  It often seems that where you want a towel bar is exactly where it is the most difficult to install. Finding the wall studs should be the least of your worries, but in most cases you end up tackling an array of issues just trying to attach the towel bar to the brackets. Only to end up with it coming off the wall and in some cases damaging your walls.

With the Convert>able bath accessories we give you the ability to value your towels and your walls by providing a revolutionary “Nifty mounting system” that makes towel bar installation a breeze.  Once you have attached the bracket, it is two easy steps to a secure the towel bar. Then you are ready to put your decorating talents to work with our array of beautiful custom designed knobs. Match to towels, tiles or wall color.

The towel would still be a drab piece of fabric if the Ottomans of the 17th century had not intervened. They brought style, design and magnificent weaving to the development of the modern towels with the help of their well-honed carpet weaving skills in the 17th century. Don’t let your towel bar be just a towel bar. Visit Nifty Nob® today, watch our You Tube video about this exciting product and transform your home in same way the towel was transformed by the Ottomans.

Obsidian Designer Knobs

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010 by susanz

Obsidian is a unique and highly prized material with many attributes. These qualities are why we chose the name Obsidian Black for the black knobs and accessories in our Decorative Designer Series line. In the business of knobs and accessories, the term ‘Decorative Designer’ refers to pieces that like Obsidian are special, unique, and very high in quality. They are made artistically from the best materials; they are the “Over the top” special touch, the unique accent that magnify the beauty in your kitchen or bathroom. The knobs and accessories in this series, which come in a sparkling array of colors including Obsidian Black, simultaneously transcend and enhance the unique architecture of your home. In the same way that a beautiful stone set in an elegant ring enhances the stone, the ring and the hand that wears it, the presence of the knobs and accessories in the Decorative Designer series in your home enhance not just the item it adorns, but also the room and the house in which it lives.

Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass, which has been highly prized by people throughout the world for millennia. The importance of Obsidian in Mesoamerican societies has been compared to the value and importance of steel in modern civilization. The unique brilliancy of Obsidian is unmatched. Black is the most commonly known color of Obsidian though it can also be found in a variety of colors. All Obsidian is translucent in nature and possesses the property of changing color according to the manner in which it is cut. It can be cut to exquisite thinness and maintain its dynamic sharpness. The natural sharpness of an Obsidian blade is why it has been used to make arrowheads and tools for centuries and is used today to make modern tools including scalpels.

Just as Obsidian is known and sought after for its uncommon sharpness and utility, so are all Nifty Nob® products. Using only expert craftsmanship and high quality materials, Nifty Nob has been in the business of making uncommonly beautiful knobs and accessories for over seventeen years.
