Press Release Summary: The launch of BelleEscape.com means it just got easier for
homeowners and decorators to find cottage-style accent pieces, décor and furniture
ideal for creating a coastal escape, country cottage or shabby chic room in any home
that will stand out from the rest.


Press Release Body:
(PRWeb) June 2, 2008, Shabby chic décor, hand-painted and distressed furniture and
cottage style home accents are among the most sought after by homeowners decorating
an escape home. But finding accent pieces that add the perfect splash of color and
charm to differentiate a home can be somewhat difficult even in vacation home
bastions such as Southern California, Florida, the Carolinas and The Hamptons.

"After spending an enormous amount of time looking for just the right accent pieces
for our vacation properties over the years, I knew that an online boutique featuring
hard-to-find cottage-style décor in one convenient place would really fill a need,"
said Belle Escape founder and president, Donna Jensen-Madier, a serial entrepreneur
and licensed real estate broker. "The process of finding decorative pieces that can
transform a home into an escape is challenging because you want décor that is not
only unique, but also durable, comfortable and relatively affordable. And that's
what BelleEscape.com offers," Jensen-Madier states.

With vacation home rental listings increasing in light of the depressed home sales
market, many homeowners are seeking to set their home apart from the competition.
\"Savvy homeowners have come to realize that they need their listing to stand out
online or in publications and the most effective listings include colorful, stylish
decor,\" advises Christine Van Buskirk, founder and co-owner of
SeeVacationRentals.com. \"The right pictures that show style and warmth can make a
home rent far more frequently than other homes in the same area and ultimately
increase a home's sales valuation.\" Van Buskirk concludes.

BelleEscape.com has just launched to fill a need in the market for an efficient way
to access hard-to-find cottage-style décor, furniture and gifts. One or two pieces
can completely transform a room making it a more desirable escape for homeowners and
renters alike.

\"Distressed painted furniture, French country décor, beach cottage décor and shabby
chic furniture and décor are perfect for a vacation home, cottage or even a retreat
room in urban homes,\" says interior designer Dana McMahan. "BelleEscape.com features
gorgeous designer pieces and makes it easy for the more discriminating buyer to
differentiate their escape home,\" states McMahan.

With a wide variety of products from painted furniture to designer throw pillows and
décor to fun guest room accessories, BelleEscape.com can provide all the décor
needed to transform any home into a sanctuary.
