Table Cloths: The Perfect Cover-Up

Sep 14, 2011 | by brock
When it comes to dining room furniture, the main dining table is always going to be the show piece. It doesn't matter if it is a 200-year-old Amish built masterpiece or a $10 garage sale find. I have always felt there is nothing more beautiful than the shine of a dining room table. The wood's grain and the lacquer create a unique vision. When people walk into your dining room, their eyes will focus on the massive wooden edifice that hosts every single one of your meals. Unfortunately, that sheen and beauty won't last forever....[Read More]

Matching Furniture Sets: A Personal...

May 18, 2011 | by brock
When I was growing up, my parents didn't have any kind of matching furniture. I would go over to my friends' homes and they would have matching sofas, loveseats, end tables, lamps that created a picture-perfect room. I was envious of these people who didn't have a hodgepodge of furniture and dreamed that when I became an adult that I would own my own matching furniture set. Fast forward 20 years and my house is filled with pieces of furniture that I picked up here and there. A old rocker that's seen better days and a section of a...[Read More]

Trash or Recycle: What to Do With...

Oct 6, 2010 | by brock
When I was in college, my apartment and dorm rooms were furnished with whatever sofa, loveseat, rocking chair and random item that I thought was cool at the time. Often, they were finds at local thrift stores, yard sales and even the occasional dumpster dive. When I graduated and had a little money in pocket, I was ready to purchase real furniture, but I had all of this junk in my apartment that I had accumulated over the years. There was a giant octopus-like lamp from the 70s, a table straight out of Miami Vice and several chairs...[Read More]

A Fear the Has Followed Me All My...

Sep 29, 2010 | by brock
Growing up, my mom had a doily seemingly under everything. Every lamp and decoration on a table had these little white nightmares draped underneath them. The name doily came from the 17th century English designer that made them. I know. You thought they were French didnt you? Nope, chalk that up with other French misconceptions like French fries and dressing come from France as well. They're white cloth, usually cotton or linen, and have ornate patterns and many holes allowing people to see the table underneath. Their purpose was...[Read More]

How to Pick a Hammock

Apr 26, 2010 | by brendan
A wise man once noted that there is no more comfortable place to be in the summer than in a hammock. (Yes, that was me.) In all seriousness, hammocks are great . You can pick up almost any breeze that is blowing, and if you choose the right hammock, they are really comfortable - you can be in the shade (often) and you're still outside. There is literally no downside. Here's a brief overview of all the hammock options out there. Hammock Guide Rope Hammock: This is the classic type of hammock. You have a web of ropes that you lay on....[Read More]
