Bring Coastal Cool and Boho Charm Into Every Room Boho Beach Bliss

NATURE IS YOUR BEST ACCESSORY. Coastal and boho styles draw inspiration from the great outdoors, so it’s no surprise that natural materials are a must. Choose light woods and jute rugs, and don’t be afraid to mix in raw textures like rattan, leather, and linen. The goal is to create an open, breezy, inviting space like your favorite seaside hideaway. DARE TO BE BOLD. Boho beach decor was made for the adventurous at heart. Bright colors, eclectic prints, and playful accessories are welcome here. Hang that vibrant tapestry, throw down those Moroccan floor cushions, and splash in green, turquoise, and gold pops. This style is about creating joy, so let your home reflect your happiest, most colorful self!

If you dream of salty air, sandy toes, and sun-drenched afternoons, it’s time to channel those vibes into your space with the ultimate style combo: boho beach decor. This look is about effortless creativity, colorful self- expression, and beachside serenity where you kick off your shoes and stay awhile. START WITH A BLANK CANVAS. First, you must embrace the power of a clean, white backdrop. White walls

and light floors are your first step to a vibrant, relaxed home. Think of it as setting the stage for a sandy beach backdrop, ready to be layered with bursts of color, texture, and character. Bright, clean walls allow woven rugs, colorful pillows, and leafy plants to truly pop. LAYER THE LOVE. Boho beach style is all about layering: the more texture, the better. Start with bold-patterned rugs and breezy textiles. Pile on plants at every level, like hanging greenery, oversized ferns, and tiny succulents perched on window sills. Drape a dreamy, sheer canopy over your bed and mix up your linens with playful patterns that feel like a sunny day at the beach. While you want to pack on personal touches, be sure to keep everything within a set color palette to avoid a cluttered look!

SMART MOVES FOR A STORM-DAMAGED ROOF AFTER THE WIND HITS

Homeowners in the Pittsburgh area have been hit hard this year by some of the most turbulent weather in memory. Our region experienced wide swaths of wind damage, including 10 tornadoes compared to the annual average of six. The high winds wreaked havoc with many homeowners’ roofs, lifting and tearing off shingles, tiles, and metal panels; stripping granules from shingles; and sending flying debris that caused structure damage. All of these types of damage can cause roof leaks that trigger rot and mold. To help you recover quickly and efficiently, with as little damage to your wallet as possible, here are a few tips on what to do if your roof has taken a beating from the weather. POSTPONE PERMANENT REPAIRS. If you are going to make an insurance claim, do not make any permanent repairs. Your insurance company will send an adjustor out to see the damage in its entirety, so any repairs you make should only be temporary. HALT FURTHER DAMAGE. The insurance company will want you to halt any additional damage to your ceiling or attic from water or other sources.

Protect your home by covering holes and damaged areas with tarps until the insurance company can send someone to look at your roof. Most insurance companies will pay for temporary repairs, so you stand a good chance of being reimbursed for these expenses. HIRE A RELIABLE CONTRACTOR. Wherever severe storms hit, storm-chasers will follow, offering fast, cheap repairs to damaged roofs and other structures. We strongly advise bypassing these itinerant salespeople in favor of working with a reliable local company. If you hire a traveling fix-it crew, they are likely to be long gone if you have any complaints or problems with their work. At that point, you may get stuck paying yet another contractor to patch up the damage the storm-chasers caused. As an owner-operated business, we are always proud of our work and strive to exceed customers’ expectations. If you have roof damage or other weather-related problems to your home, call us at (412) 347-1040 . We will be glad to help you with both temporary and permanent repairs — plus a lifetime guarantee on our workmanship!
