OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, March 27, 2009 · 16 " We're people who show homeowners how they can express themselves in their homes... - Jim Anderson One visit, and you'll be inspired. " Jim Anderson & Marguerite Harrison Stepping into Anderson' s is like walking into a home that invites you to come in, be comfortable, and enjoy your surroundings. You won't be the first person moved to gush, `This is so lovely.' Jim Anderson hears it often, as people enter and are instantly captivated by what they see--furniture of substance, polished woods, soft leathers, textured fabrics, eye-catching area rugs, handsome carpets and an eclectic array of lighting and accessories. More than what you see is what you feel at Anderson's. It's the feeling of living well, and the warm feeling that this is how you'd like to return home each day. Anderson's makes that possible. Jim is thrilled to add Marguerite Harrison to the Anderson team. Her recent addition brings new and fresh design experience. Jim and Marguerite have a gift for creating spaces that inspire a sense of wonder and well-being. The design duo's special touch is reflected in the store. It starts at your toes with a wide range of carpets and area rugs and takes off from there. Jim Anderson has spent most of his life in this world. His father started the business with quality carpets and rugs more than forty years ago. Jim and his brother joined the business years ago and Jim's passion for design prompted the addition of fine furniture more than a decade ago. Today, Anderson's offers both, plus complete design service. "We're more than either a carpet store or a furniture store," says Jim. "We're people who show homeowners how they can express themselves in their homes. People are interested in good design and appreciate that we can design their space with the pieces they themselves select. " There's no warehouse feel there. No self-assembly or room-in-a box solutions. Instead, you'll find a showcase of carpets, rugs and furniture of enduring quality. "We work with our clients and within their budgets; sometimes starting with the room basics and other times supplying the finishing touches. We really care about the overall appeal of the space and our reputation rests on how well it all comes together so we go the extra mile to guarantee our clients are pleased with the results," says Anderson. According to Jim, Marguerite's eye and design expertise puts her in an exceptional class. "Her reputation precedes her. She offers a lot to our clients and we work so well as a team. This is my passion as well as my business so I'm never far away. It's very satisfying to me to be able to consult with our clients and help them create a home they are proud of." Besides design knowledge, Anderson knows his products. Take the Anderson selection of woven and tufted carpets for example. It includes plushes, twists, textures, patterns, Berbers, Sisals, and Needlepoint in a variety of colours and patterns. The collection of wool and all natural fabrics lend themselves to a number of unique designs. He discusses durability and care, about whether the product is better for high traffic areas and whether the carpet will act as background or focal point in the room. Says Anderson, "Our clients can trust that we'll provide the right products for their needs. That's how we've maintained our reputation."
