Happy Holidays from Pierce Furniture Gallery

What do the Holidays Mean to You?

When I think of the Holiday Season, I think of all the fun that I have spending time with my family. It is a bittersweet time because, as it goes in life, my family has suffered losses but it has also grown over the course of the passing years. It's a great time to see how the younger members of my extended family have grown and it's also a time to remember those who are no longer here. 

The thing about life and this time of year is that traditions for each family are started. As my siblings moved off and got married, changes occurred in how the entire family gets together to celebrate the holidays. From time to time, sometimes a brother or sister and their family can't make the trip because of one thing or another. What I find fascinating is that as time passes, technology makes it easier to spend a little time with those who can't be there. Between Facetime and Skype, the world has shrunk enough that its not such a disappointment. 

Another thing that I enjoy is watching all the kids open their presents. I remember being a kid and feeling so excited the night before Christmas. It's a miracle that I ever got any sleep. The other thing that I remember from my younger days was that my parents and grandparents never seems to be as excited to open their presents like the rest of us children. I understand it now that giving is a little bit more fun than receiving. That's not to say that a heartfelt gift won't hit a soft spot in my heart or that an unexpected gift won't excite me in that moment. In the long run, I just enjoy watching the smiles.

Need a New Set of Furniture?

Buying a Set Has its Advantages

If you are trying to achieve a certain look for your home, having mismatched furniture can really make it tough to accomplish your goals. There are so many variables to consider when decorating and furnishing a room. Color, material, style, and even position are all important things to consider especially if you are seeking a particular theme. From a rugged southwestern vibe to a classic Victorian look, it can be hard to achieve the look you desire with the wrong type of furniture. 

Even if you are just replacing an older couch that may be wearing out, you might want to consider what the new piece is going to look like with the rest of your items. That lime green love seat may stick out like a sore thumb when you replace your couch with a new powered leather sofa. While mismatched furniture is just an aesthetic problem for some people. it can easily be avoided by buying a matching set of furniture. A dining room table with mismatched chairs can be fun for some and for others it can feel like a stigma. The bohemian look of out-of-place furnishings in a house isn't for everyone.

Why Matching Furniture Sets Have Appeal

I am not a psychologist and so I can't really speak for a broad range of people. However, I can say that the reason why matching furniture sets appeal to me is that they give me a sense of relief. Not to say that mismatched furniture is not an accomplishment, it's just that I get a feeling that makes me feel good. It feels like when I buy a new set of tires. It's the feeling that you know you are going to be ok for quite some time. You don't have to worry about replacing anything for a while. Buying a sofa set is an expensive purchase just like tires so you have to make sure that you like what you are buying.

The One Recliner to Rule Them All

The Chair in Which Only One May Sit

If you grew up before the internet was in every home, chances are, you understand what the title of this blog means. In my household, and in most of my friends' homes, there was that one chair which everyone knew not to sit. This chair belonged to the dad of the household. In my family, Dad's Recliner was a bastion of wonder. On the few occasions where I was brave enough to sneak a seat in the armchair, that moment was always short lived as I was scolded by either my mother or my siblings for sitting there. I always wondered why it was that even if my dad wasn't home, his chair was off limits. 

My mom, had her own recliner, as well. And while she would make us get up from it when she wanted to sit down, she would let us use it when she wasn't occupying it. This just lent even more mystery to the place where my dad would sit and watch football. I tested boundaries by playing with my army men on the armrest. As long as I didn't leave them there after I was done playing, it seemed that this action was ok to do. So, I sat on the armrest and was quickly told not to sit that way on any of the recliners in the house. 

As I got older, I gave up trying to figure it out. I stopped sneaking into the chair mainly because of the fact that it didn't feel any better than the sofa or Mom's armchair. Fast forward some and when I  was in my mid 20's, I worked for about 5 years alongside my dad. One day at the break table, one of our co-workers made mention that I had sat down in my dad's seat. My father had taken a day of vacation and wasn't at work so I decided to sit a little closer to everyone. In one quick moment, I reverted back to my 5-year-old self and jumped up to get out the seat. After everyone at the break table began laughing at me, I sheepishly sat down. When the ruckus died off, I spoke up and told everyone that it wasn't that funny since every one of them knew not to sit in dad's chair. They all agreed in varying mutterances. 

This phenomenon with the chair of the paterfamilias stoked itself anew inside me after that moment. I finally asked my dad one day why no one was ever allowed in his chair when we were growing up. To my surprise, he acted surprised as well. He seemed genuinely confused by the question. Apparently, that had just been a rule my mom had made and the only reason she issued it was because her mom had that same guideline when she was a kid.

Save Money this Winter with these Tips

Winterize Your Home

When winter comes around, it can cost a lot to heat your home. Here are some money saving tips that you can use this winter to try and reduce the bills that roll in each month. While to some people. these tips might seem obvious, however, this could be a valuable set of ideas to some others, as well. 

1) Change Filters - Filters in your heating and cooling system will get clogged up over time and unless you are using reusable filters, they will need to be changed. When airflow to your furnace is restricted, the power demands are increased and that means more electricity is needed to do the job. If you adhere to a regular schedule of swapping out dirty filters with clean ones throughout the year, you may already be on top of this. 

2) Reverse the Direction of Ceiling Fans - You may think you would only run them during warmer seasons but done correctly, you can reduce your heating bill by having your fans spin clockwise. This action will help circulate the warm air that gathers as heat rises. 

3) Use Draft Snakes - Draft Snakes aren't really snakes, although you can put little googly eyes on them for fun. They are long tubes of cloth filled with sand or other grit to give them heft. You lay them across the bottom of doors so that drafts are reduced. If you don't feel like making or buying one, you can just roll up a towel to use. 

4) Cover Unused Vents - If you have a vent in a room that no one uses, you are paying for heat that you really don't use. if the vent can be closed, simple, if not, you may either want to cover it in plastic or buy a solid cover. 

5) Watch that Water Heater - Hot water heaters typically come set to a standard 140 degrees, however, you may or may not need to generate that much hot water. You could turn the temperature down to 130 or even 120 and save money. Also, insulating your water lines even though they are on the inside of your house can help them to retain heat and save in the long run, as well. 

6) Dress Warmly - While this is pretty obvious, just putting on an extra pair of socks and a sweater can help keep you from turning that thermostat up too high. Chances are you will be using that to go outside anyway.

How do You Relax on Your Furniture?

Taking a Break from it All

In today's world, relaxing has become an art form. From innovations in entertainment to the actual sofas that we sit on while we entertain ourselves. Movies on demand, power recliners, popcorn in minutes, pizza delivered to your door, virtual reality video games in your living room and so much more allow us the opportunity to just sit back and forget about things for a moment. Sadly, with all of these ways to take a load off, people still have trouble taking some time for themselves. I know that not everyone has the luxury to lounge around for hours on end, but there are several benefits for taking some time for yourself every day. 

Benefits of Relaxation and Alone Time

1) It helps you recharge your brain which can increase productivity and concentration. 

2) You can unwind and de-stress your body which may lead to happier moods and more pleasant engagements with other people in your life. 

3) It allows for self-discovery and deeper contemplation of one's self. When you are alone, you are more inclined to think about yourself.

4) Alone time can help strengthen your relationships with your spouse and children. It also improves problem-solving. 

Now, the world isn't perfect and so it may be harder for some people to find the time to be alone with themselves and relax. Single parents and sole proprietors of a business may find themselves thinking they can't ever get a moment alone. If that is the case, then you have to focus on quality over quantity. The average person in the U.S. spends a little over 5 hours a day doing leisure activities. If you find yourself way short of this number, you may be in need of a change. If you are in a situation where you feel you can't get any time to yourself, there are a few options you can try. First, make sure that you are doing things that you want to do as well as the things others in your household want. Another option is to wake up earlier than everyone else in the house by 30 minutes or so and use that time for you.

What Some People Will do to Sit on a Chair

The Golden Throne and the Warhammer Universe

In this blog, I am going to expose a bit of the sci-fi lover in me. There is a series of books based on a tabletop game called Warhammer 40k. It's a little nerdy to be talking about books based on what amounts to a massive board game, I know. However, in today's day and age, nerdy is no longer the insult it once was. These books, for the most part, are set in the year 41st millennium. Mankind has spread across the galaxy. However, there has been a 10,000-year civil war raging that has split the human race into two factions; the loyalists to the Emperor of Mankind and a group of separatists devoted to a set of evil primordial forces called the Chaos gods. If I haven't lost you yet, understand that there is a lot of nuance and intrigue that goes on in this futuristic world. It's a place of harsh conditions and even harsher laws. In the grim far future, there is only war. 

The Golden Throne

One of the more interesting things in this dystopian future is that the Emperor of Mankind was mortally wounded and he was interred into a machine called the golden throne. It is, what I consider, a life support system designed to keep the Emperor alive. Now, since this is a science fiction book series, the Emperor has been alive for longer than any human should ever live. Now grievously wounded, this last ditch effort to keep him alive requires some hefty upkeep. People willingly devote their life essence to keep him "alive" though he has never moved once since being placed on the golden throne. This all happened in the 31st millennium. 100 centuries later, everyone worships the entombed, yet not dead, Emperor as a god and fight countless battles in his name.

What was Your First Furniture Purchase?

That First Major Purchase

There are some things that I buy and it just makes me feel a special feeling. For instance, when I buy a fresh set of tires for my car, there is a nice feeling of security that comes with that purchase. Now, when I was younger, that feeling also came with a sense of pride and accomplishment because getting a new set of tires at once was a big-time budget buster. Until the moment I bought my first set of tires, I had either bought them individually (which they would tell me was a bad idea) or I had bought used tires. That's a gamble, I know, but it was one I was willing to make in my youth.  Getting those tires made me feel like I was actually a grown human being. Along the same line of thinking, I remember when I made my first furniture purchase.

I had bought various items for my apartment when I first moved from my parents' house. As a 19-year-old, what I could afford was items that were made of particle board and came with assembly instructions. What I mean when I say "first piece of furniture" is that item that was the first one that wasn't a hand-me-down nor a garage sale purchase. I am talking about that first piece of furniture for sale in an actual furniture store. For me, it was a bed frame. I had been sleeping for a long time on a mattress on the floor. So, it was a change of pace after acquiring that bed because I no longer got up from the floor but I had to get off the bed and step down to the floor. It came with that same sense of security and accomplishment as the set of new tires. My first bed made me feel like a king.

Furniture Sets for the Home

Now, that feeling comes from getting a matching set. As I got older, I wanted things to look and feel better in my home. That bed, for all it did for my self-confidence, was old and worn out. My second-hand dresser and nightstand didn't match the bed either and I decided it was time to find my first new bedroom set for sale. My room had red walls (don't judge!) and so I went with a set with a dark stained finish. In the end, I guess it was a subconscious hunt for that same feeling mentioned earlier. Because when I found what I wanted, and everything was delivered and arranged, I felt it all over again.

Furniture Arrangement and the Flow of Your Room

Arranging Your Living Room Furniture

Better Homes & Gardens- Arrange living room furniture can be difficult when you don’t know what you’re doing. The flow might not be right, or it just doesn't feel right. Well, here a few tips to keep in mind to help you make your living room feel comfortable and make the most of your living space.

Arrangement Tips

You may need to have a pretty good idea of how you would like the flow of your room to keep. Since this is a key notion to have, understanding the foot traffic in and out of your living room can help you to have a much better idea of how to start arranging or rearranging your furniture.  Keep in mind how you want your room to function and what rooms are connected to the living space. Is this going to be a place for a family game night or is it going to be more of a place for everyone to get together and watch the big game or the latest hot show? This will help to determine the focal point of the room. If it is a family game night, then a coffee table surrounded by chairs would be a great focal point to design the room around. If it is a big game or show to be watched, then the focal point will most likely be the entertainment center. Other focal points to consider are picture windows, fireplaces, or other fixtures built into your home. A fireplace can make for a great place for the family to gather around and relax on a cold winter night. You will want to arrange the chairs in a room to help encourage interaction. So the seats should face each other and be pulled away from the wall to help people connect.

Oh Noes! Bed Bugs!

Bedbugs are small, oval, brownish insects that live on the blood of animals or humans, according to an article by WebMD. These little suckers are about the size of an apple seed when they are fully grown. But, after a good feeding, their bodies swell and are a reddish color.

Female bedbugs can lay hundreds of eggs, each of which is about the size of a speck of dust, over a lifetime. One good thing about these little pests is they do not transmit diseases.

These little boogers can enter your home through luggage, clothing, used beds and couches… Their flat bodies make it possible to hide in tiny spaces, about the width of a credit card. So think about those thin seams in your bookshelf, bed frames, and headboards. They especially like those spots for easy access to their food, us. Over time they can spread throughout your home.

They are mainly active at night. They feed three to ten minutes until they become engorged. Their bit is mostly painless, but they do tend to become itchy. Some people may attribute the itching to other causes like mosquitoes. Some signs that may indicate you have bedbugs include:

• Blood stains on your sheets or pillowcases
• Dark or rusty spots of bedbug excrement on sheets and mattresses, bed clothes, and walls
• Bedbug fecal spots, egg shells, or shed skins in areas where bedbugs hide
• An offensive, musty odor from the bugs' scent glands

If you have found signs these pests are present, remove all bedding, check and wash then in hot water, also dry them in the highest and safe drying setting. You also may want to check inside books, telephones or radios, the edge of the carpet, and even in electrical outlets. Hiring a professional pest control is always a good idea or use products that can be used safely in all rooms. Just be sure to follow the directions correctly.

Seasons Are Changing - Outdoor Furniture

Texas Fall Days: Gather on the Patio

Depending on where you live in the huge State of Texas, you can have an extended summer that can last into December. I know I have experienced my fair share of mid-80s days in December over the past couple of decades. Throughout the Fall, there can be quite a few mild weekends where you aren't forced to stay inside to beat the heat. These times are great opportunities to be outdoors and do some work or have some fun. Whether you work or play, everyone needs a great place to sit and enjoy some relaxation. In my opinion, there is no better way to achieve this goal than to have a great set of outdoor furniture. 

Decisions in Purchasing Patio Furniture

If you have never bought any outdoor furnishings, there are a few things to decide before purchasing any items. Consider these questions. Will the items be covered by a structure? How much sunlight will they be getting? Will I be entertaining many guests? After you have answered these questions, you can move forward to the shopping stage. With the answers in mind, you will be able to view the selection and make a smart purchase for your home and family. 

Where to Find Outdoor Furniture for Sale in Abilene, TX

There are many options for places to buy patio furniture, especially with the internet. Typically, outdoor furniture is built to hold up to the elements that come with nature. When you order online from somewhere that's not local, you can run into trouble if the items aren't what you expected. They could be poor quality and wear out in the sun way sooner than what is reasonable. The hassle of returning large items via mail is a big one. 

At the Pierce Gallery Furniture stores in Abilene, we pride ourselves on giving good hometown service to our customers and having true discount prices on our stock. If you are looking to add or replace some items in your home, visit us online to find the store nearest you!

Homebody? No Problem-o

Nothing Like a Weekend at Home

During the week, most people tend to stay in and around the house. After work, the desire to go out and play may not be there. On the weekends, however, the inclination to go out and have fun around town will be much stronger. Sometimes, that desire to go out and pall around with friends or family just isn't there. That's when the names come out. If you decide to spend a weekend lounging at home, you may get called a couch potato, stick in the mud, or even an introvert.

Technology, Furniture, and Good Veggin'

No matter what people say, it can be healthy to have some "me-time". Technology has really come far in its advances on the entertainment front. No longer are we shackled with the chains of the video rental policy. One click of a button and you can watch almost any movie you desire. Of course, with all good things (even water) you can have too much of it.  However, since you may be spending more time cruising Netflix or Hulu, you may notice that the couch is becoming less and less comfortable. Perhaps you may notice that your old entertainment center can't contain your Blu-Ray player, game system, tv, and all the other accessories. If your furniture is giving you concerns, it may be time to look for some new items for your home.

Discount Furniture Store in Abilene, TX

When on the hunt for new furniture for your home, you have a few choices. You can buy items that are made of particle board that you have to build yourself. However, you can spare yourself the trouble of all those vague and frustrating instructions by going to a place that has everything put together for you. Which one of these places should you go to, you may ask? Either one of the three Gallery stores in Abilene would be a good choice.

Did you share a Bedroom with a Sibling?

Do You Have Children that Share a Bedroom?

Siblings have shared rooms since the dawn of time. Today's age isn’t like our grandparents and great-grandparents time when six to seven siblings all shared one room. However, due to rising costs of living expenses, rent, and mortgages, space has become a hot commodity and with multiple children, sharing a room may be a viable solution. This does not mean that the children that share a space are not entitled to their own area and their own belongings.



When I was growing up, my brother and I shared a room throughout my middle and high school years. It was a tiny room and sharing the room was difficult. Cleaning always devolved into a contest to see who could blame more of the mess on the other. However, when it came to sleeping, as long as I could fall asleep before my brother and the resulting snoring, it was ok since we had our own beds. In the end, we found a way to arrange the space in a way that maximized our own personal space and coexistence was much better.



The issue with sharing a bedroom is that siblings can be territorial and disputes arise over personal space. The best way to ensure that each child doesn't have any issues is to arrange the room to afford the most unoccupied area. This is very important because it allows for them to be able to have their own personal space to retreat to even if they don’t have the entire room to themselves. Their own bed is also a place where they can express their own personality. They can decorate their bed and the walls around their bed anyway they wish which helps to individualize their own piece of the bedroom.

Sometimes it's Best to Invest in Bunk Beds

Bunk beds are perfect for children who have to share a room because they offer them their own sleep space all while maximizing surface area. This will allow the children to have more space to play and have personal belongings. In my own personal experience, bunk beds work better with siblings who get along, for the most part. Having one bed on top of the other may also help to eliminate the temptation of staying awake and playing all night. Bunk beds come in many different shapes and sizes so it’s easy to find one that will suit the needs of your children. For example, many parents like the bunk beds that do not come with a ladder but actually come with steps because they are safer and easier for the children to climb. They also tend to offer added space because they have drawers for clothes attached to them.

Whats the Worst that Could Happen?

Accidents Happen - New Furniture Purchased

I've done some dumb things in my lifetime that are funny to recount. Some of them were accidents that resulted in destruction and other times my faux pas was more deliberate. No matter what I did or how it happened, these are a couple of the stories of how I needed to find new furniture for sale.

Unintentional Consequences

After living away from my family for a few years, I decided to move back to my hometown. While I was away, I had managed to work my way up the ladder at a franchise restaurant. I made a few furniture purchases and found out real quick that some items weren't made for old houses with narrow doors. I had a nice leather couch that wasn't going to fit inside the new house into which I was moving.  First I decided to eyeball the measurement and cut the legs off the bottom. Then I realized I should have actually measured it because it still would not fit. I decided to take off the door and squeeze it through. Mid-squeeze, I heard this awful ripping noise, but so I gave up and began trying to extract the sofa. I ended up pulling various items off the doorway like the strike plate and some trim. So, here I was stuck with a couch that looked like it was 10 years older than it was. I just toted it to the side of the road and hoped that someone would pick it up.

Intentional Consequences

I know this might elicit some groans from people, but my older brother and I are Packers fans. One year during the playoffs, they played a particularly close game and ended up losing. I decided that I needed to let out some frustration. Hindsight is always 20/20 so I'm not too proud of this, but I took my armchair outside and decided to see how far I could throw it. My brother and I are relatively big guys so we made a game out of it. After the demolition was done and my brother had shown me up, I realized that I need a new recliner. In all honesty, I think I might have done that simply to justify getting a new one, anyway.

A New Home May Constitute a Trip to the Furniture Store

Did you just buy a new home?

If you have just purchased a new home then what better time to buy new furniture? Nothing will make your new home feel fresh like replacing the old furniture you had with modern pieces. You may want to upgrade your living room furniture as well as your bedroom furniture especially if the new place has more room than your previous residence. If your new home contains space that your old location did not have, it could begin to fell a bit spartan. This is the perfect time to get the furniture set that you’ve always wanted for your living room. Maybe you’ve always wanted a nice recliner, but you didn’t have space for it. If your new home has the open area, it would be the perfect time to purchase one. It’s important to have comfortable furniture in your living room because that’s the first impression people get of your home when they walk in the door. Obviously, if you are purchasing a new home, you’re very proud of it, and you’re going to want people to come over and see it. Therefore, you’re going to want to make sure that you have beautiful furniture. You want every aspect of your new home to feel fresh.

New bedroom furniture

It is also essential to have modern bedroom furniture. Mattresses have about a 5-10 year lifespan so you may need to update your sleeping conditions. You may also have more space in your new bedroom so you can maybe fit a vanity or an armoire along with your bed, side tables, and dresser. Having a vanity in your room will help to clear up space and keep your bathroom organized because your makeup and hair products can reside within the vanity instead of on your bathroom counter. This is not only more convenient, however, but it also makes your home look much nicer and more organized. One of the worst things to see when going into someone’s bathroom is the counter to be full of hair products makeup in any other thing that people tend to clutter their countertops in the bathroom.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH BEING A COUCH POTATO?

Being a couch potato has a negative connotation attached to it. But why? Is it really that bad to be a couch potato on occasion? Most of us work full-time jobs, tend to our families full-time, cook, clean, do the laundry, and have little time for ourselves so why not spend our free time curled up on the couch watching a good TV show? There’s so many good television shows out there that it is hard to choose a favorite. So, with what little bit of spare time we have it can be very inviting 2 sit down on the couch and binge-watch a show that we may not have a lot of time for. One of the most attractive things to do when it is dark and gloomy and rainy outside is to curl up on the couch in a pair of pajamas and relax while watching television. The only problem with this is that if you do not have a comfy couch, you could be missing out on a whole level of comfort. You want to be able 2 relax and enjoy the laziness of the day. What better way to do this than on a comfortable sofa?

If the sofa, loveseat, or recliner is no longer comfortable, then it may be time to purchase a new one. Just like your mattress, furniture can break down and wear out and become uncomfortable when it does not offer support. This is when it may be time to think about getting a new set of furniture. If you cannot enjoy your lazy day because your furniture is uncomfortable, then it may be time to browse your options. So often we purchase furniture that is only visually appealing and not that comfortable, but if we plan on spending much time on it, this may not be the most logical decision. Fortunately, some furniture sets are both visually appealing as well as comfortable. One of the best things to do when deciding on a set of furniture to purchase is to try it out first and make sure that it offers the support that you are looking for. Because who wants furniture you can’t sit on?

Benefits of Furniture Sets

MATTRESSES GET A LOT OF USE 

All of our mattresses get a lot of use whether we spend much time on them or not. Most people don’t just use their bed to sleep on. It is also a catch-all for laundry, especially when we are behind on folding and end up needing an ample space to take care of things. It is also a place where we lay our babies down in the mornings to get them dressed, after bath time to get them dried off, and a convenient location to lay them to change their diapers. For many of us our mattress also doubles as a couch especially if we have a television in our bedroom. One of my favorite places to watch tv is in my bedroom snuggled up in my bed with a cup of coffee. Our bed also doubles as a dining room table. When my husband is away, my daughter and I usually decide to have dinner in bed which is something fun for us since we typically eat at the dinner table. Regardless of what you use your bed, for most people it generally is not just a place we sleep. It is a place we live. Our mattresses get much more use then we realize.

WORN OUT MATTRESSES 

Since most of our mattresses get so much use, it can sometimes be difficult to know when they are worn out. The fact is that most of us are sleeping on a mattress that is probably well past its prime. Many mattresses will be sold with a promise of being suitable for about 10 years. However, that is only if you do not use them often. This time period of 10 years may only work if you just sleep on them for the typical 8 hours at night. It does not include all of the other living that you do on your mattress. So, in reality, our mattresses probably break down in five to seven years, and we are entirely unaware. Having a worn-out mattress can result in headaches, backaches, fatigue, sleepless nights, and irritability. The best thing to do is to just purchase a new mattress to ensure you are getting the best quality of sleep.

Dinner Time in the Home

Where Do You Eat Dinner?

Many families choose to eat dinner together at the dinner table. However, many families want to eat dinner separated or in front of the television. Some people do not even have a dining table in their home. There is nothing wrong with families who want to gather around the TV to watch a show while the dinner, however, studies have shown that families who sit around the table to eat together tend to be more in tune with each other and form closer bonds than those who do not. This seems plausible because gathering around the dinner table is the perfect way to engage in conversations that include the entire family. Everyone gets to talk about their day. Therefore, each and every person at the table can develop a feel for the emotions that each family member feels about what’s going on in their life at that moment. So, if dad had a bad day at work and is stressed out over something having to do with work, then his kids will understand more where he’s coming from if he might seem a bit edgy that evening. The same can be said for mom, as well, since a grueling day at the office can take its toll on anyone. It is also a time to laugh and joke and talk about the positive parts of your day. This helps to set a positive mood for the family and promotes a healthy happy environment within your home. Dining room tables also make the perfect gathering place for when friends and family come around.

Have You Been to Italy??

Under the Tuscan Sun

Italy has become a popular vacation destination for many people. Italy has so much to offer from excellent food and wine to beautiful scenery and historical significance. Regardless of why you travel to Italy, many people say the same thing and that is that they fall in love with the country. Apparently, the food is absolutely fantastic, and wine is paired perfectly with every meal. The sights are breathtaking, and the people are amicable and enjoy showing tourists around their country. Most people would agree that once their vacation is over, they are not ready to come home. This is why many people decide to bring Italy into their own home. Tuscan decor is very popular not only with the wealthy but with everyone.

Achieving that Tuscan look can seem expensive and overwhelming but all it takes is a little creativity to be able to feel like Italy every time you enter your home. There are a plethora of bright colors and themes that will give your home that Tuscan feel. Using rock and dark colored woods within your home can help to bring the Tuscan look together. High vaulted ceilings are also a signature of Tuscany along with rock pillars. Now, we aren't trying to get too crazy here so we can try to achieve the look we want by having the right home accessories. The Tuscan style can be relaxing and elegant at the same time. It’s all in how you decorate. Choose dark colors when picking furniture such as dark reds or dark browns or leather. It is also essential to choose elegant fixtures that will help to bring the style together such as chandeliers, mirrors, and pictures/paintings.



So, where you go to find these styles? You could get online and order these items, but you never know exactly what condition the item will arrive in until you see it at your home. This is why it is vital to actually physically go to a furniture store so that you can visualize what these items look like in a room or on the wall. It is important to see these items to scale.

The Home Office - Do You Work from Home?

In Home Office - Do You Work From Home?

Many people nowadays have in-home offices. At home, offices are not only essential for some people because they provide a space for them to do work, but they also offer a tax break at the end of the year. If you conduct a certain number of hours of work at home and you have an actual office, then you fall within the guidelines to receive the tax break. Many people work from home now. Some people sell diet pills, makeup, body wraps, candles, and hair products just to name a few, and are very successful at doing so. This means that they conduct a lot of their workday from the comforts of their own home. They are usually sitting behind a computer doing this. Some people are also fortunate enough to have jobs that they can do from home while working for a large corporation or company. Not everyone conducts all their business from home though. Some people such as lawyers, marketing agencies, and engineers, just to name a few, spend a lot of time conducting business in an office or outside of the home, but have a lot of things to do on their own computer when they do finally get home. Teachers fall into this category as well. Regardless of what grade level you are teaching, a lot of your work is done from home. When teaching at the college level if you are a part-time adjunct then you do not have an office or a computer of your own. Therefore, you end up spending more time working while you are at home then when you are actually on campus. For people like this, it is essential to have a computer and an area that can accommodate all your needs.

Office Furniture for the Home

If you have a computer at home, you probably have a computer desk and computer chair. If you spend a lot of time working on the network from home, it is essential to make sure that you have an office that accommodates all your needs. You need a computer desk large enough to not only fit your computer, printer, and computer screen, but also a desk large enough to house files and folders, or speakers, or just provide enough room to be able to have a notepad for taking notes. Not all computer desks are the same just like not all computer chairs are the same. The chair is just as important as the desk especially if you spend a lot of time on it. If you have back problems, it is essential to choose a computer chair that is comfortable and offers the type of support you need for sitting for long periods of time.

What does it take to get a good night's sleep?

Are You Getting a Restful Night Sleep?

You may think that you are getting a restful night sleep. However, this may not actually be the case. If you find yourself groggy, tired, irritable, or with back or neck pain throughout the day, then it is possible you are not resting well at night. The problem is that so many of us suffer from this ailment that we do not realize that we are not sleeping well, and it has become the norm for us at night. We also tend to contribute our back and neck aches to other things that we do throughout the day. The problem is that so many of us do not realize that we are not getting a good night sleep, so we just walk around irritable and agitated throughout most of the day. Sometimes we do not even consider that we may not be getting a good night’s rest.

What Could Be the Problem?

The problem with not getting a good night’s rest could possibly be that you need a new mattress. You may not even realize that your bed is not giving you the support that you need while you sleep. Mattresses tend to break down gradually. Therefore we do not notice that they are no longer sufficient in providing support. You are unable to see the springs on the inside of your bed, so you do not know that they have become misshapen and lost their resilience. This is what causes you to have a restless night sleep. Just upgrading your mattress are changing out for a new one can do wonders for the type of rest that you get at night. It will be a noticeable automatic change when you get a new mattress. You will wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Your back and neck will also benefit from changing out to a new mattress. You will be amazed at the results.

DO you Have Unused Space in Your Home?

Do You Have an Open Space in Your Home That You Don’t Know What to Do with?

So many of us have little nooks and crannies in our home, and we have no idea what to do with them. Whether you have an old house or a new home, whoever designed the place had an idea of how the spaces would be used. For example, in my home, I have an area that is off to the left side of my living room that is apparently supposed to be an area for a large entertainment center. Nowadays most of us just mount our flat screen televisions on the wall which is exactly where mine is, above the fireplace, so the area that should hold the tv is just an awkward space in my living room. My house is only 12 years old, but it is evident that whoever designed my home probably had a large entertainment center and wanted to make sure to have an alcove for it.

What to Do with That Space

My husband and I thought about filling the space with a large saltwater aquarium, but then we thought about the reality of actually caring for a large saltwater aquarium and decided that it would probably not be for us. Plus, when we decided to buy a different place, we may not have anywhere to put a large saltwater aquarium. Since my husband and I do a lot of research work, we decided to turn that space into a reading nook. It was quite simple actually. All it required is a beautiful, comfortable reading chair with a side table and a lamp. Not only is it functional but also very stylish. We chose a chair that would draw attention due to its circular shape and visual appeal. We get many compliments on this area that used to be an awkward eyesore and are living room.

Is Your Backyard Ready for Summer?

Summertime brings a lot of joy to many people. Some people can’t wait for summer because that means swimming, water activities, long days at the lake, and backyard barbecues. For others, however, it means intense heat, mosquitoes, chiggers, and extremely high electric bills. Not everyone enjoys summer but for those of you who do it is a time of getting together with friends and enjoying cooking out on the weekends. Many of us love to entertain and enjoy having friends and family over to cook for. This really appeals to those of us who are very sociable and do not enjoy spending our weekends alone. We thrive in a setting where we are surrounded by friends and family. This is the sole reason that we throw social gatherings and events.



The question, however, is, how comfortable is your entertaining space? When it summer time people do not want to be cooped up in the house they want to be outside typically where the food is cooking, and they want to have a beer or glass of wine in hand while they walk around and mingle or sit and catch up with people they may not see on a regular basis. This is why it is essential to have an excellent entertaining space with a beautiful set of patio furniture to accommodate people who want to do this. If you are going to host people at your home, it is crucial to have a place where people can sit and relax and enjoy themselves. Not everyone wants to stand the entire time they are at your home. It is also a good idea to have an area that will seat everyone when it is time to eat. A sizeable outside table can accommodate most people’s needs.

Do you Have Hardwood Flooring?

Do You Have Hardwood Floors throughout Your House?

Carpet is becoming less prevalent in many homes today. Most people prefer hardwood floors. Many people find them more accessible to keep clean and like them because they do not hold as much bacteria as carpet. Hardwood floors are beautiful, and they do not stain as quickly as carpet. Not all people prefer hardwood floors over carpet. Many people prefer carpet because it’s softer and seemingly easier to clean since no mopping is involved all they have to do is run a vacuum cleaner over the top of it. This, however, does not give the deep down clean only a surface clean. Families who have small children sometimes prefer carpet because young children tend to slip and slide on hardwood floors which can be dangerous and falls are not as cushioned on hardwood floors as on carpet.

How to Spruce up Your Hardwood Floors

People who prefer hardwood floors tend to want a little bit of contrast on those floors. The best way to add a bold pop of color to your floor is to add a rug. A rug not only adds visual contrast, but it also adds textural contrast to your hardwood floors. Unless you have heated hardwood floors, you will find that during the winter time they can be freezing so it is nice to add a rug to particular areas of your home like the living room and the bedroom which can help provide a warm place for walking. Rugs and runners also help to protect the hardwood floor from furniture and scuff marks that can be caused by tables, chairs, couches, and tables, beds, etc. This does not mean that you should completely cover your hardwood floors but adding a rug or two to your hardwood floors will really help to invigorate a space.

Looking for a Useful Graduation Gift Idea?

Most Useful Graduation Gifts?

It’s that time of year again: graduation season. Many students are graduating for the first time such as from high school, but also many are graduating for a second or third time from college. Whatever graduation it is whether it be high school or college, you are expected to receive gifts upon graduation. It’s kind of tradition. Many people receive money which seems to be the best gift because the graduate can use it for things that they may need for this new chapter in my life. Some graduates get a new car from their parents or grandparents, while others get household gifts to help them get started in their new home. This is vital because many of the students especially the ones graduating from high school have never lived away from home and do not realize how expensive it can be just to purchase the necessary items such as cups, plates, silverware, cooking utensils, cleaning supplies, bedsheets, and pillowcases, etc. This is why one of the best gifts that you could possibly get your graduate is furniture. A new set of furniture will help to get your graduate started on the right foot. Granite, they may be going off to university and living in a dorm that may be mostly furnished for them but something that they could use is a new computer chair.
A computer desk could also be essential for a dorm room. Not all students move into the dorms though after high school graduation. Many of them get an apartment or house which obviously would need to be fully furnished with a living room set, bedroom set, and kitchen appliances as well as a washing machine and dryer. All of these things are essential when starting a life of your own. Not only will new furniture help set a new graduate up materialistically, it will also help them financially since they won’t have to struggle with being able to afford furnishing a new home. It's like giving money and a gift at the same time.

Do you have more than one child? If you do, then you may understand how costly it can be to provide adequate furnishings for your little ones as they grow older. This can be especially expensive if they are very close in age. If they are more spread out in age, you may be able to recycle and do some hand-me-down shuffling to accommodate the younger children. The older kids, however, will outgrow their childhood beds and need something that fits a bit more comfortably. 

Buying Second Hand

Even though we provide top rate furniture for adults and children, we know that keeping a budget is a tough thing to do sometimes and that unexpected growth spurts can put a wrench in the old finances. So we understand why people may buy from second-hand sites like Craig's List or Facebook. The only problem is that there can be all kinds of unexpected critters on these items and they may love their new home. Also, you can run across some rather shady people when dealing with these kinds of transactions. From scammers to others who just want to do harm, there are numerous stories of people being taken advantage of by unscrupulous people. We aren't trying to discourage you from saving money by going to these second-hand places, but we are encouraging you to save money by shopping for brand new furniture with us. You will save money compared to other furniture stores and we offer several options when it comes to financing some new furniture.

Do you have a cat that lives in your home? As much as you love the little critter, there can be some annoying habits that your pet may have when it comes to their claws. I know my cat has the tendency to use almost everything in my house as a scratching post. No matter how many of them I buy to keep him from slowly destroying my house, he will always go back to his old faithful: my couch. 

Reasons to replace your furniture

Wear and tear is one of the main reasons to replace a piece of furniture. The reasons are legion as to how furniture can be worn down to the point of needing to be replaced. The aforementioned pet circumstances can certainly lead to an early retirement for your couch or recliner. However, one other reason you may be wanting to replace something in your home is that it may be really out of style.

Tips on How to Care for Your Wood Furniture

Furniture, including wood pieces, are a part of our daily lives. Some of these pieces have an emotional or symbolic importance to us. No matter their importance, they deserve the best care we can give them. Wood furniture can become a treasured possession in your home, and with the proper care, your precious piece can last for generations. Quality wood furniture is a significant investment that needs to be maintained and understanding proper care and preventing damage are well in your hands.
You may be wondering what type of cleaner or polisher is right for your piece. You also might be torn between cleaning vs. dusting and polishing vs. waxing wood furniture. Over time, furniture will accumulate dust, dirt, and even grease. It will also have a tendency of losing its sheen or polish which can cause it to absorb oils and water.
Damage and destruction of your piece can come in many forms. Here are some useful tips to keep your wooden furniture clean and last for years thanks to newstimes.

Tips on How to Care for that Special Piece

1. To clean the finish on your wood furniture just use warm water and mild dish soap. Cleaning furniture with water won't hurt it -- just be careful not to soak it. Use an old toothbrush for hard-to-get areas. Wipe the dirt off the surface with soft cloths or paper towels until they come up fairly clean. Then dry off any residual moisture with a soft cloth.

2. After a good cleaning, the best way to protect the finish is to use a good-quality soft paste wax. Apply a thin coat as directed on the label. Wait five minutes and buff lightly with a soft (shoe) brush or cloth. Wait for another 30 to 60 minutes and buff/brush again with a bit more vigor. You'll see a beautiful shine return to the finish that will last for many months.

3. Keep your furniture out of the sun. The temperature of the summer sun coming through a window can go above 140 degrees. It will cook fine finishes, fading and destroying them over time, and dry out and shrink the wood, which will cause cracks.

4. Don't place wood furniture near heating units or vents. Dry heat will cause the wood to dry and shrink, leaving cracks. Use a humidifier in the drier months to bring the moisture up to the 40 to 45 percent level.

5. For a quick-fix touch-up, use the appropriate color shoe polish on scratches and chips, especially to make them less visible on the feet of furniture. Carefully using a matching-color felt-tip marker first will hide it even better.

6. When polishing metal hardware, take it off the furniture first. Take your time and make a note to remember what piece goes back where. Use a quality metal polish to get it shining again. Once it's buffed, put it back on, being careful not to scratch the wood surfaces. I recommend that you don't try to do this all at one time. It can be a lot of work, so take a few days, doing a few pieces at a time, instead of getting tired and frustrated with trying to do too much.

There you have it; it is not as difficult as it may seem. Proper care using the right tools and cleaning products can keep any piece looking fabulous. newstimes has a few more tips on how to shop for new or antique furniture, restore or refinishing a piece, and how to remove white hazy marks or spots, all very useful.
