I, personally, have never had to replace an appliance and a large piece of furniture at the same time, however, I have known several people who have renovated their homes and bought new appliances and home furnishings all at once. While it may seem overwhelming to gather all those items together in one purchase, having them all for sale under one roof will surely help take off quite a bit of stress if you were to be in the middle of a home renovation.

How do You Wear Out Your Furniture?

The Target...

How do You Wear Out Your Furniture?

I always wondered how my friends would have to buy new furniture so much more often than I did. However, after having two children, I realized it wasn't my friends, but their kids who were doing the lion's share of ruining a sofa. From games of "the floor is lava" to pretending to be pirates, my kids have definitely been a major source of wear and tear on the old living room furniture. It is definitely a bittersweet problem to have because, yes, on one hand, they were messing up some stuff that's not exactly cheap, but they weren't attached to a tablet like a fiend. The days of me yelling at them to be careful and not fall while walking across some couch cushions are all but gone now that my oldest is a teenager. So, I do look fondly back to those days where both my daughters weren't too cool for each other. 

Back in my day, we would play games, as well. We, however, didn't live in a time where creeps are so prolific and kids could play outside unsupervised. Things were different back in the late '70s. Creeps were still around, I guess they just did a better job of hiding out or something. Instead of playing pirates on the living room furniture (because my mom would have tanned my hide), we went outside to play. We even took real knives out of the kitchen when we played pirates. My friends and I had a blast because sometimes we would try to get strangers involved and pretend to rob them. It was so fun because they would play along with us and act really scared and give us their wallets and purses before running and calling for help. Those were the days. My friends and I played pirates until we were in our 20s... Just kidding about that. I totally stole that from an older Saturday Night Live skit from the '90s.

School is in and Those Kids Need Sleep

Bedroom Set

Does Your Child Need a New Bed?

Kids grow up so fast. I swear I blinked a couple times and my oldest is in high school, now. With that being said, it is an uphill battle every evening to get that child into bed at a decent hour. I have done everything from removing the TV in her room to making a new rule about no phones after 8 pm. Still, the fight is on as soon as she knows I am even hinting at bedtime. 

Of course, teens are still growing and even though they think they are grown-ups. Because of that, they still need to get more rest than people whose bodies are done growing. My youngest went through a phase around six years old where she was afraid of the dark and refused to go to sleep without a fight. Luckily, she seems ready for bedtime except for Saturday evenings. If only both my daughters could get on the same page, how easy life would be. 

Having a Good Bedroom Set

Now, I know my oldest is being hard-headed. However, I know that since sleep is important, its best to have a quality bedroom set and mattress so they can get the best sleep possible. Even if your child fights you about getting sleep, the quality of sleep is just as important as the amount they get. My 9-year-old is supposed to get 9-10.5 hours of sleep each night. That isn't going to happen if her bed is so uncomfortable it wakes her up in the middle of the night. My youngest sleeps on a twin bed and my oldest sleeps on a queen size. I really do try to make sure they have a good nights rest since they are back in school. I would be embarrassed if they came home with a note because the teacher thinks they are sleep-deprived.

Electric Ranges and Their Benefits

Dinner Time! - Electric Range

Electric Ranges and Their Benefits

If you have ever cooked with both a gas range and an electric range, you know they both have some pros and cons to using them. I would like to talk about my favorite type, the electric range. The reason I have that opinion is that, to me, they have more pros than cons. 

Cheaper Price

For the most part, buying a new range will be cheaper is you opt for an electric unit. Typically, a gas range will cost more than its electrical counterpart. This difference in price has to do with the way the heat is delivered. An electric range just needs a heating element and fan while gas needs all kinds of pipes and flues to evenly distribute heat. You also don't need ignitors to light any gas. 

Another thing to consider is that if you are switching from gas to electric, it will typically cost less to run the lines you need if they don't already exist. If you go from electric to gas, however, the cost to convert can rise very quickly when running new pipes and whatnot. 

Cooking

When it comes to cooking, electric ranges heat up faster and maintain a more consistent temperature. A lot of the newer models have special features like a fifth element that is only used to keep food warm. You also just have to turn a knob to heat things up instead of fiddling with matches or unreliable ignitors. With that being said, it is way easier to regulate the heat of stovetop burners. Nothing is worse than scalded pans. 

Part of cooking is the cleanup and, in my experience, it is way easier to clean up an electric stovetop. The oven I have is a glass top and I enjoy not having to remove burners and whatnot to clean. 

Safety

The main concern with gas ovens is a leak. With an electric range, you don't have to worry about natural gas leaks or catching your house on fire that way. While you can still burn food in or on an electric range, you don't have that added worry of a leaky line or unlit pilot light. One other thing to consider is that since there are no open flames, its less likely you will catch something other than what you are cooking on the fire. Anyone who has spilled a little grease on a gas stovetop knows how quickly things can become dangerous.

Do YOU Need to Buy a Dryer?

A New Dryer

Do YOU Need to Buy a Dryer?

Anyone who has been inconvenienced by a broken down dryer knows the sacrifice in time it takes to dry clothes the old fashioned way. Even if you choose to go to the laundromat instead of hanging up your wet clothes to dry, you still have to take the time to tote them over there and it still costs you. To me, it's a pretty big let-down when you open up your dryer to fold your clothes and they are still damp. You close the door and turn the dryer back on only to have the same thing happen when the timer goes off again. And that's when you realize it wasn't a mistake on your part, the machine just isn't working. It may not be the end of the word, but it's not fun to deal with a broken dryer. 

As with almost all electronics, with time and manufacturing innovations, the dryer has actually gotten relatively cheap. In the 1950s when tumble dryers were gaining popularity, they cost an average of 230 dollars and were only in 10% of American households. The price probably had more to do with that than anything. A lot of families either couldn't justify the cost when the sun did it for free or they couldn't afford it. If you are thinking that price isn't that much, back during the '50s, that would be like paying over $2,200 for one today. While I am sure I could find one that cost that much, it better help me lose weight at that price. The average cost of a modern tumble dryer is $340 in 2019. If you went back to the '50s and reversed the inflation, that amount would be more like 35 dollars. Now that's a cheap washer by today's pricing standards.

Washing Machine got you Down?

Cutting Edge Washing Machines

Washing Machine got you Down?

In my opinion, there are several ways a washing machine can get you down. You could set aside all the mechanical things that could go wrong and just focus on what your machine doesn't do for you. For instance, if you feel like you are constantly doing laundry, maybe your machine's load capacity has something to be desired. Maybe the cycle for delicates is about as gentle as a fall off a step ladder. Maybe if you are having a bad time while doing laundry, you just need a new washing machine. Having a greater capacity to clean the clothes in your house may help you out in the long run. Let's face it, if you have a washer that is 20 years or older, you may not know what the new ones are capable of doing. 

The GE Energy Saver Pictured Above

This particular unit has a lot of helpful features. One example is that the spin cycle rotates at 1300 RPMs. What that means is that it manages to get a lot more water out of the clothes due to the velocity of the faster spin cycle. That means your clothes will spend less time in the dryer and more time hanging in your closet. Another bonus that comes with this particular washing machine for sale is the steam feature that helps loosen up stains before washing the clothes. It has an internal water heater and this helps to reduce odor-causing bacteria that most people associate as a negative with front load washers. In addition to all these features, it has a quick wash setting for when you just need to do a little light cleaning for a quick outfit. 

This is just one of the items they have to offer when it comes to washing machines and that's not all they have. They also have ranges, refrigerators of all styles, and dryers. If you need to buy a new appliance for your house, they can help.

Furniture for a New House

Buying Furniture for a New House

I remember when I made the jump from renting a house to buying a home. It was a big decision in my life and I look back with absolutely no regret. At the time I was buying, I was scared thinking of all the stuff that comes with it, including the payments. In my opinion, there are good and bad things that go with each one. For instance, when you rent, typically, the maintenance of the house is not your responsibility. The drawback, of course, is that things might not get fixed very fast when you have to wait for someone else to take care of things. The list could go on for a mile, but that's not my point. 

When I bought my house, it was bigger than the apartment I had previously occupied. This fact became painfully apparent when I started moving into my new home and realized exactly how much more space I had. There was so much open space in the living room that my poor 32 inch TV was so far away, it looked like I was trying to watch shows on my phone. It took a while, but I eventually got the interior of my home to look and feel like I wanted. 

The Search for Affordable Furniture

One of my goals was to get a living room set and a bedroom set that actually matched. Before buying my house, all my furniture had been cobbled together through luck, garage sales, and hand-me-downs. Needless to say, when it came to aesthetics, my furniture was very lacking. With some more luck and a little bit of investigation, I found a place that had everything I needed when it came to furniture for sale in Abilene. I found Pierce Furniture Gallery and it was a good thing, too.

Abilene Furniture Store

When I was looking for new furniture at all the myriad furniture stores in Abilene and I came across a sofa that I wanted at one store. I decided to wait and look around some more and I ended up finding the same sofa with a matching love seat for less than what the original location wanted for the couch alone.
