The Cliffs at High Carolina to be Tiger Woods' First American Golf Course Design "My goal is to design a handful of very unique courses around the world, and The Cliffs is a perfect fit for my first American design," Tiger Woods said. "Seeing what they've created with some of the world's best designers is very inspiring, and I'm looking forward to adding my own style into the mix." Woods continued, "I chose The Cliffs at High Carolina because of the great people and the amazing location. I'm really looking forward to making it a premier destination to share with my friends and family." Each of The Cliffs' communities is located in the Carolina Preserve - a quality-of-life corridor connecting Asheville, North Carolina to Greenville, South Carolina that features fourteen state parks, three national forests, and one national park. "When I first visited High Carolina, I loved the site and the spectacular 50-mile views of the Asheville area and the Blue Ridge Mountains," Woods stated. He continued, "When I got to the top of the mountain and looked across those meadows I knew this would be the site of my first American design. I hope this will become one of the most talked about views in the country." "The land lends itself to a walking golf course." added Woods. "Walking is integral to golf, and it will be very unique to have a walking golf course at elevations up to 4,000 feet." Jim Anthony, Founder and President of The Cliffs Communities, stated, "What excites us about working with Tiger is the alignment of our visions to enhance the golf experience by working with the land, beauty and conservation --- an overall commitment to excellence." "The Cliffs at High Carolina will offer the unique combination of an unparalleled mountaintop golf experience and convenient access to all that the city of Asheville offers," Anthony continued. Tiger Woods' design will bring The Cliffs' line-up of championship courses to eight, with the additional seven unique designs located minutes apart and accessed by one membership. Resort Living Magazine described The Cliffs' membership as "one of the most comprehensive and impressive club memberships in the world." "Our Company's goal is simply to create the best place to live, work and play in America." Anthony concluded.

(MS) - Think an "extreme makeover" for your home has to include sledgehammers and a general contractor? Well, interior design does not always mean knocking down walls. Changing a few select items can bring new color and texture into an existing space - just the thing needed to brighten, lighten and transform any room in your home. One of the easiest ways to change an interior is to start with new area rugs, which go far beyond merely providing a covering for the floor. They can serve as the impetus for a new color palette and decorating scheme, changing the entire look and feel of a room without breaking the bank. From traditional Persians to ultra-modern works of art in knotted wool, there are more styles to choose from than ever before. "Today's designs have a level of sophistication that just wasn't available in the past," says Joyce Lowe, carpet and décor expert for Nourison, the world's largest manufacturer of hand-made area rugs. Are you a traditionalist? Choose an heirloom-quality Persian rug with fields of midnight blue accented with rich chocolate and gold. Want a living room that's sleek and modern? A rug from designer Calvin Klein, rich in texture, color and style, can provide the starting point. Color is a huge component of a room's décor and should be chosen with care. "A basic rule of thumb in interior design is to select one neutral tone and two brighter accent colors that combine in a pleasing way," adds Lowe. Area rugs from Liz Claiborne Home, made exclusively by Nourison for example, make choosing room accent colors easy because design teams have already selected colors that work well together. Simply pull and match colors from the field or design. "Your choice of accessories should complement the décor," says Lowe. Wall colors, window treatments and accessories are important to a good redesign but need not be expensive. Toss out pillows, curtains, candles and other accessories from your old room and bring in new ones in complementary colors and styles. You'll be surprised how dramatic the change will be. Promote a traditional style with classic elements; a more modern look with sleeker, pared-down accents. Since the eye is drawn to like colors, stick to the use of complementary shades of metal and wood. Table and floor lamps don't need to match, but they should have some similar elements, in color or design. Select a new area rug, change colors and accessories and you've done a truly "extreme" makeover in your home.
