I have an elderly Jack Russell dog who sheds terribly. I am in the market for some new Furniture and I would like to know what furniture would stand up to teenagers and an elderly dog whose habits I do not intend to break. Also, I would like to not break the bank on price and I do not want a sleeper sofa. I am not opposed to leather.

Kitchen Furniture 101

Posted by admin | 11/03/10 | Tagged Furniture

If you asked someone to tell you what types of furniture they would find in the living room or the bedroom, the answers would come to them right away. Couches, chairs, and small tables have their place in the living room, and the bedroom has a bed, a desk or a vanity, and a few dressers. If you asked someone about what kitchen furniture entails, however, he might be slightly confused. The kitchen has standard pieces of furniture as well, but the answers are slightly less obvious. The definition of furniture is large, moveable items that equip a house or a room. The key word here is “moveable.” As tempted as we are to call the refrigerator or the stove pieces of Furniture, they are, in fact, appliances.

Here is a short guide to the furniture one might find in the kitchen.

A kitchen hutch. This piece of buffet furniture is usually large and stands up against the wall or in the corner of the room. The bottom half is usually kitchen cabinets and the top half are open or glassed shelves. Also known as a china hutch, the top shelves are the perfect place to displace choice pieces of your grandmother’s decorative porcelain dishes or you children’s latest masterpieces from art class. The bottom cabinet area gives you much needed storage space for either larger pots or dining room items such as places mats or candle stick holders.

A kitchen island. These units have become much more popular in recent years because people have started to realize how helpful and aesthetic an island is in their kitchen. Most kitchen lack essential counter space, which makes it very difficult to prepare family sized meals. The kitchen island quickly solves this problem. You can even use one edge of the counter on your island as a casual dining space. Purchase a few discount bar stools and you are all set.

A baker’s rack. Storage is hard to come by in the kitchen. There are so many different size pots and pans that one needs in order to make various dishes that it can be very difficult to find enough storage space to put everything. These racks not only help you store these items, it keeps them organized and easily accessible!

Kitchen furniture is extremely useful. Invest in a few pieces for your own kitchen today!

We’re selling our house and I was just wondering, what’s the best way to lift the carpet back up a bit where furniture has been sitting for a long period of time?
Thanks!

Moisture and Fluffing!

Use a steam iron (don’t touch the iron to the rug, it may melt, just get the steam in there) or a mister/ sprayer.

Vacuum to pull the fibers back upright.

Use the edge of a kitchen spoon to rub the fibers back and forth – switching directions as you go.

Are you in the market for new furniture? If you are, perhaps it’s time to look at something different from what you have purchased in previous years. Try not to be in too much of a hurry to buy new furnishing. If you do that, you may very well be missing out on some of the best deals available in the marketplace. And when that happens, there is little you can do about it. The new furnishing is already purchased, and you can’t jolly well return everything and buy other types of furniture.

Taking your time does not mean to say you should be indecision. Instead, you should be making careful decisions about what you buy. To do so, the first thing you need to do is to conduct some research in the marketplace. Unless you know the industry well, you can’t possibly be aware of all the new furniture that is being sold in the market.

Wicker furniture is a prime example. Many people neglect this wonderful furniture type because no one ever talks about wicker furniture. Everyone wants to talk about the big, expensive center pieces that cost thousands of dollars. Who cares about some wicker furniture that’s lurking in some corner.

Apparently, many Homeowners are starting to pay attention to wicker furniture. They may talk about expensive furniture, but when it comes to wicker furniture, the deal is just too good to pass up! Here is why.

As we all know, a big part of our buying decision depends on our own personal preferences. Some people like the classic, contemporary look, while others like more colorful and fancy looking designs. To each his own. So as we go about sourcing for furniture, it’s common to see even husband and wife arguing about the type of furniture to buy.

There are just too many issues to disagree on! The price is too huge, the colors is too ugly, the materials is too flimsy, and many many other issues!

Homeowners are starting to take a serious look at wicker furniture because you can find just about any type of furniture you are looking for. For sure, there will be something that appeal to even the pickiest homeowner. They come in all kinds of designs – classic, natural, modern, etc. And they are very affordable too!

Before you go on your next furniture shopping spree, make sure that you consult some wicker furniture catalogs first. You can obtain them from local furniture stores, or simply go to a wicker furniture website to browse through the types of wicker furniture that is available for sales. You will be pleasantly surprise to find the wide range of wicker furniture available.

No longer is wicker furniture an outcast in the furniture store. It’s time for wicker furniture to take center stage.

What is the best furniture fabric and color for pet hair?

I have an Australian shepherd and two cats. I want to get microfiber furniture (the cats are not declawed). I want to know is this the most durable fabric for my money? Also, what color should I pick so pet hair won’t really be too noticeable? I can’t really prevent the animals from getting on the couches because they sleep on it at night and during the day when I am at work. So:
Best fabric?
Best color?
Cleaning suggestions?

Also, I do not want to put a furniture cover over the couches. Thanks.

One good hint of advice—-Get a pet throw (couch blanket) for the areas they sleep on, it’ll save the Furniture. Also a miracle brush to get fur off easily. The blanket can be washed as needed, and a second blanket may be needed to cover all the couch if the dog is up there too. I’d rather get fur on the blanket which is replaceable, than woven into the furniture cushions.

Best color? I’ll say gray. I’ve got a medium brown and things show up on it. Black or white would show fur like crazy. Plaid is ugly, but will disguise the fact some fur is on it.

A loose weave is the worst for cats, it encourages them to dig claws in. A tight weave like most ‘furry’ upholstery fabrics is pretty good.

Adirondack Furniture in Pine or Cedar?

Posted by admin | 02/03/10 | Tagged Furniture

There are many styles of Adirondack chairs.  And just as there are many styles there are many types of wood.  When Adirondack chairs were first constructed at the turn of the century they were likely built from locally harvested northern white pine.  While the wood was plentiful, it was not terrribly durable in an exposed environment.  Still, due to the abundance of wood and the simplicity of the first chairs, they were likey built from pine for many years.

Adirondack rockerNow, Adirondack furniture can be purchased in many wood types.  Some of the most common are northern white cedar, red cedar, cherry, teak, oak, maple, and variety of asian woods.  Pine is still a common wood used in the construction.  Recently, polywood chairs have become increasingly popular due its maintenance-free factors.

Despite the great variety of wood types, northern pine and cedar continue to be the dominant woods used in the construction of Adirondack furniture.  They are readily available, sustainable, economical and make a great product when maintained well.

When choosing between pine and cedar there are a few things to keep in mind.  First, cedar chairs will tend to cost about twice what pine chairs run.  Pine is a more accessible product and therefore the cost of the wood is cheaper than cedar.  If the chairs will be left on a covered porch, indoors, or out of the elements, pine represents the best value.  In these conditions pine will last a long time.  You may well be passing the furniture down to your children.

The extra cost of  cedar can be worth the price, however, when considering the longevity of the product for outdoor use.  If left outdoors pine chairs will last about a decade when properly treated and cared for.  Cedar chairs can last twice as long if not longer.  The natural elements of cedar make it better adapted to withstanding sun, water and insect damage.  

Either style of wood is durable.  Both are soft woods with incredible structural integrity.  The look is quite similar.  In fact, both pine and cedar can look quite alike when initially harvested.  They will both age and patina at a similar pace.  They are both light.  Both accept paint or stain equally well.  

Regardless of which type of wood you select, be sure you are purchasing a US made chair.  If a part breaks, which can occur with any exterior wood product, you want to make sure you can call the company directly and order a replacement.  It can mean the difference between paying $7 for a new arm or $200 for a new chair.  Pine or cedar…you’re sure to enjoy your Adirondack Furniture.
