If you buy two bottles of wine a month, WineStyles Wine-of-the-Month Club may be for you.

You can pick up the wines at the Uptown Altamonte WineStyles store, or have it shipped for a nominal charge.

They specialize in custom draperies, soft goods, bedding, model-home design, and staging. The duo, both from the UK, are known for their elaborate themed rooms, especially those done for children.
In 2007, Barnes and Gunn won the Grand Award at the Parade of Homes, and were a runner-up in 2008. Some of their notable clients include nationally acclaimed builders TaylorMorrison and M/I Homes.
With its umatched level of service, attention to detail and eye for design. Barclay Barnes Interiors offers a wide range of design services:

“We are big, big on color—it’s more important than your furniture,” says Barnes. “You’re not to be afraid of color. Once you get used to it, you’ll never go back to beige.” And every room should have something black in it, says Gunn. “It becomes the focal point that pulls everything together. It really makes a difference.”
