Cedar home plans can be a site for sore eyes

A fact provided by Ethnic Market Report 1999 that stated 80 percent of Americans identify with their ethnic heritage. Keeping that fact in mind, ethnicHome.com became the first and only online resource of its kind.

Ethnic elements are incorporated into all aspects of the site, from the well written content to the sharp, crisp colored photos. ethnicHome.com features a design and entertainment section; a catalog with unique wares for purchase; a reader's choice that showcases adult and children books; and offers several sections on finding internal balance and a healthy lifestyle. All of these features are packaged in an easily navigated, colorful format that focuses on an ethnic theme. Founded by Roxanne Givens Copeland, a home developer and designer with more than 25 years experience, ethnicHome.com was created to fill a void in the home design marketplace for people seeking to decorate around an ethnic theme. "I wanted, and actually longed for, a place that focused on people, who like me, appreciated and enjoyed decorating with an ethnic style," said Givens Copeland. "From what I could see, no site consistently provided home design information or products that reflected and celebrated true ethnicity."

The catalog on the site contains unique products that continue this theme of ethnicity. In essence, there is something for everyone. For instance, with the focus now being on fall and Halloween, they offer two African American boy and girl ceramic figurines dressed in pumpkin and witch costumes. These figurines also come dressed for Thanksgiving in pilgrim costumes. For the not so whimsical but more spiritual person, there are candlesticks and ball sphere candles that have a Moorish and Swaziland influenced design. The package is completed with the Sankofa symbol candlestick holders. There are furnishings and accents for your home and jewelry and unique note cards.

Givens Copeland already has plans in motion to take her concept into different directions under the business name of Ethnic Home Lifestyles, under which ethnicHome.com is a subsidiary. Her plans include a newspaper column, TV specials and retail stores carrying her products and designs.
