We are proud to announce a significant reduction in our “carbon footprint"
In January and February 2008 we changed all of our shop and office lighting to High Performance Lighting.

The benefits of this project included:

• Reduced enough energy to save 105,574 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
• Reduced enough energy to save 175,956 grams of sulfur dioxide a year.
• Reduced enough energy to save 408,218 grams of nitrogen oxide a year.
• This is equivalent to planting 12 acres of trees.
• This is equivalent to taking 10 cars off the road.
• This is equivalent to saving 6399 gallons of gas a year.
• The color value and intensity of the light is better so we predict even better quality work from our employees.
• The new lights produce _ as much heat as the old lights, therefore improved working conditions.
• The savings in electricity will help pay for the conversion making this a win/win project all the way around!

Las Vegas World Market

With excitement surrounding the opening of the second Furniture Market building in Las Vegas, organizers and exhibitors had high expectations for great attendance from the nation’s furniture dealers, designers, architects and other industry members. With out exception, everyone involved was pleased with the response and outpouring of support for the industry’s newest and greatest trade show. Interested parties from virtually every state in the nation as well as a tremendous international contingency descended on Las Vegas to check out the latest and greatest home furnishings and accent/accessory merchandise available. Many dealers have declared that this is now the show of choice for them and will make it their permanent shopping destination.

Creative Elegance has made the World Market Center in Las Vegas its sole National trade show. As more vendors and customers recognize the benefits and organizational qualities of shopping a market that is self contained on a single campus, attendance and interest will continue to swell. The excitement and success of the show will continue to build with the opening of the third Market building, a 2.1 million square foot monolith, in 2008. Make your plans to attend twice a year in late January and late July. You’ll be pleased you did!
