Casart Coverings is excited to announce the launch of their new blog look for Slipcovers for your walls, casartblog with a fluster of fireflies and fireworks!<\/p>\n

Here’s the old look.<\/p>\n

\"Old<\/p>\n

It needed an update to match our new website<\/a> with a cleaner, more streamline look and better performance.<\/p>\n

Although we have a slider on the main site that changes the images, we were able to create a collage of multiple images for the blog (see above) that displays a range of designs. It is also responsive and changes width based on the device on which it is being viewed.<\/p>\n

We’re also celebrating summer with our appreciation of fireflies.<\/p>\n

Sadly they start to disappear at summer’s end but we like to have them around all year round because they represent a child’s sense of wonder. Luckily, we can still hear those early evening cicadas and this will last for a few more weeks.<\/p>\n

If you like fireflies, like we do, you may want to host a Firefly Party<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you have small children, drape a firefly shower curtain<\/a> over a retention rod between rooms. They can use this to put on an end-of-summer play.<\/p>\n

Use Casart’s Firefly reusable and temporary wallpaper<\/a> in the T3 Collection<\/a> to set the backdrop.<\/p>\n

Now here comes the fireworks! Simply flick glow-in-the-dark paint into mason jars and voila, instant magic<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Frankly, the lowly firefly has been way under-rated and not gotten the delight it deserves. Fortunately, Ramdi Kadi<\/a>, a very talented fashion designer has launched his Lucioles Firefly Collection<\/a> in 2015. It’s literally brilliant! It glows in the dark and not to mention is just jaw-dropping gorgeous! Just look at the intricacy — all hand embroidered and “fishnet” overlays.<\/p>\n

What a show-stopper if you wore this dress at an event. Hmmm, elections are right around the corner and we’re going to need to party — either way — and wish it were 1999! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
