You could say home improvement runs in the family.

Terri is known for keeping up with the newest trends.

“Its great to see how design is constantly evolving and how I can incorporate these ideas into my clients homes,” said Terri.

We asked Terri what she thought was one thing that would improve any space and her biggest tip was to determine what is beautiful or functional, and take out everything else.

“Simplicity is a timeless and tasteful look,” she said.

The Island Paint & Decorating team includes, left to right top row: Holly Wiese, Brock Heruth, Andrew Wilson and Luiza Racovita; Front row, left to right are Terri Pentz and Betty Greenway . n Betty Greenway was born in Pekin, Indiana and has lived in the Sunshine State since she was 5-years old. Betty and her husband, Gary Greenway, opened Island Paint and Decorating more than 30 years ago in 1983.

Betty’s style is an eclectic combination of traditional, tropical and antique with a splash of modern touches. Betty believes every home should have its own Safe Haven. A space that is full of inviting colors, comfortable furniture, and a general cozy atmosphere.

If there is one thing Betty believes will improve any space, it is to organize.

People gather so much stuff over the years. By keeping things in order will make a space look better and will make you feel better. n Brock Heruth was born in Mississippi and raised in Virginia and recently moved to Florida. He went to George Mason University and Eastern Florida State College. Brock’s personal design style is Coastal Transitional. He believes a home should be both comfortable and functional. “A good balance will make you love every aspect of it,” said Brock.

We asked Brock what was one tip to improve any space and he said a Fresh Coat of Paint.

“When you think about it walls fill out so much space in a room, changing the color is the least expensive way to redefine a space.“ n Holly Wiese is from Lafayette, Louisiana and graduated with an Associates of Science in Interior Design from Brevard Community College.

Her personal design style is Antique Modern.

“I really love combining traditional and vintage items with modern and edgy ones,” said Holly.

Holly believes that every home should reflect your style. We asked her what is one tip she would give to improve any home, and she said minimize.

“A few well placed items are much betther than too many items that do not fit.” n Island Paint & Decorating is located at 860 N. Courtenay Parkway on Merritt Island. For more information log on to IslandPaintandDecorating.com or call 321-452-8981.

BEST POOLS OF BREVARD Creating Beautiful Custom-Designed Swimming Pools and Spas For 27 Years

S

ince 1987, Best Pools of Brevard has created beautiful custom-designed swimming pools and spas for residents across the Space Coast.

For 27 years their mission has been to provide the best product at the best price, using the highest quality materials and labor available.

Best Pools offers unlimited options, and their website features a comprehensive pool gallery of recent projects for clients to peruse.

The family-owned full-service pool company specializes in new pools – both fiberglass and concrete – as well as remodeling and service.

To make the most of outdoor space, the company can increase the appeal of a pool with design elements, such as a waterfall or brick pavers.

Using their C.A.D. based design system, their team can give clients a clear visual of what the pool area will look like upon completion.

Comprehensive cleaning and maintenance services are offered for both residential and commercial pools.

Their trained technicians ensure the ultimate cleanliness and safety of every

pool, which gives homeowners maximum enjoyment from their investment.

Their pools are not only innovative -- they also take less time to maintain.

“We often get compliments from our clients on the ease of maintenance our designs offer,” said Eva Adcock, vice president.

When homeowners with existing pools want a new look for their backyard living area, they may seek a full remodel, or simply a few updates.

Some pools need only a facelift to bring them up to date. Best Pools can

utilize renewed interior finish, new tile, and also new lighting to update the pool.

Equipment can also be upgraded with the latest options in remote-controlled, high efficiency models.

For those looking to remodel, Best Pools can create a stunning new look.

The company has won numerous industry awards, including awards from the Florida Swimming Pool Association, which illustrates their skill. n For more information, visit BestPools.com, call 321-242-2003, or visit their offices at 4660 U.S. 1 North in Melbourne.

ORGANIC MATTRESS HAVEN Specializes In Hypo-Allergenic Certified Organic and Eco-Friendly Mattresses

A

fter more than 20 years in the mattress industry, Diane DiLeo saw a need in Central Florida for healthier, more organic mattress options, and so she launched Organic Mattress Haven in Vero Beach.

After less than two years in business, she relocated the store to a larger location on U.S. Highway 1, where it now stands.

“During my 28 years in the furniture and retail mattress industries, I saw an increasing number of people wanting to return to a natural, organic way of life. There is mounting evidence that many major mattress brands use unsafe fire-retardants, petroleum, and solvent based foams,” said DiLeo. The store specializes in hypo-allergenic certified organic mattresses, as well as eco-friendly mattresses, pillows and linens.

The advantages of Organic or “green” bedding and mattresses can include the absence of harmful VOCS, or “off gassing”; superior quality; total spinal support; no formaldehydes and pressure relief – naturally.

DiLeo offers mattresses made from

soy, aloe and water that are free from formaldehydes, petroleum and solvents.

“All mattresses at Organic Mattress Haven are certified for their safeness, and our main specialty is organic sleep products,” said DiLeo. The sleep shop carries a range of products including all-natural memory foam; all natural spring mattresses, healthier-option, value-priced mattresses; and organic cotton luxury bathrobes “We also carry organic crib mattresses and infant bedding, so that babies can have the healthy start they

deserve,” said DiLeo. For the family pet, the store also offers organic pet beds.

For customer convenience, Organic Mattress Haven offers a no-interest financing option for up to 36 months through Synchrony Bank.

Organic Mattress Haven is conveniently located at 1125 S. U.S. Highway 1 in Vero Beach, just one block south of Staples. n For more information, visit OrganicMattressHaven.com or call 772-226-5019
