Great selection of bar stools at Premiere Barstools

June 3, 2008 by Tricia

As my regular readers know Chris and I are very slowly renovating our home. It’s definitely a work in progress. I do however have all the plans in my head of how I’d like to decorate once our renovations are complete.

When we finally get to the kitchen renovation I want to open up the wall between the kitchen and dining room / living room. I don’t want to knock the wall down, just have an opening like a large window. We’d use that area as a breakfast nook, as a way to visit with our guest while preparing items in the kitchen and of course as a way to serve or pass food from the kitchen to the dining room.

I’ve been keeping my eye open for either some nice kitchen bar stools or perhaps counter stools that would fit into our decor.

It will be at least a year before we start renovating our kitchen, but since I’m picky about decor I’m already looking for bar stools and all the other items that we’ll need.

If you are also looking for barstools for your kitchen, dining room or perhaps a bar area you might want to visit Premiere Barstools. They have a large selection of discount bar stools, counter stools, kitchen barstools, pub table sets, outdoor stools and tables and even extra tall stools.

I’ve spent some time looking at the various bar stool styles and I’m impressed with the selection. As I said earlier I’m very picky about decor. When I’ve seen bar stools in retail and department stores they often only had a few styles.

Well designed bar or counter stools can enhance the look of a room and add functionality. As I said earlier I think our guests will probably end up sitting on the bar stools in order to visit with us as we work in the kitchen preparing a meal or snacks.

What I like about the Premiere Barstool site is that you can search for bar stools by height, by style – kitchen, counter, bar, outdoor and so on as well as by the material the bar stools are made from such as metal, wood, contemporary, backless, or Upholstered. You can also search by price range. I love sites that offer a variety of ways to find the items that you want.

Premiere Barstools ships free to all of the continental United States and they also ship internationally.

I’m going to take a look at all the styles and see if I can find something that suits our home. Why don’t you take a look at their selection too.

Save up to 200 dollars on in stock furniture

May 8, 2008 by Tricia

With inflation going up and the economy going down I think most people are interested in saving money, especially when it comes to major purchases.

I’m sure that some of you have been contemplating getting new living room furniture, or perhaps completely redoing the bedroom with all new bedroom furniture. Wouldn’t it be great if you could get the items you wanted and save money at the same time?

Wholesale Furniture Brokers, a furniture store, is have a sale on all their in stock furniture right now. You can save up to $200! This sale is only going on until tomorrow – May 9th though, so if you’re interested in getting a new platform bed or perhaps a comfortable recliner visit the site now and get your order in.

Wholesale Furniture Brokers isn’t just an online store. They have several locations throughout the United States. If you visit the site you can see a list of their locations in the left hand menu. I know when it comes to buying furniture it’s nice to see it in person, sit on a couch or lie on a bed to make sure it’s comfortable – right? Well if you live near one of their retail stores you can take a look at their bedroom furniture or living room furniture in person.

Central Gas Heating with Northern Gas

January 29, 2008 by Tricia

I think I mentioned that my neighbors, in order to be able to sell their home, had to change over from oil heating to gas heating. Well they didn’t have to change the mode of heating but their oil tank was really old and any new person buying their home would not be able to get home insurance until the tank was replaced … so to sell their house they made the change to gas.

They changed over two weeks ago. I’m not sure what happened but when I looked outside earlier today I noticed their lawn was dug up again. I guess something must have happened with their gas connection or maybe the work wasn’t quite done two weeks ago and they came back to finish the job. I don’t know.

Someday we’ll change over to gas heating too! I bet we’d save some money as well as have a more efficient furnace.

If you happen to be in the UK and if you are thinking of either having a Central heating installation or perhaps would like a company to help you maintain your furnace for your Gas central heating visit NorthernGasHeating.

The company prides themselves in their mission to deliver better service at better prices than any of the other central heating companies.

NorthernGasHeating will work with you to make sure that your investment is built around your budget. Whether you hire them to maintain your Boiler service or to install central gas heating you can be sure that you’ll get the best price.

Perhaps you have an old furnace and you need to replace it. Just think about how much money you’ll save in the long run by using a modern energy efficient furnace? That’s one of the things I’m looking forward to when we perhaps switch over to gas heating. I’m not sure if we’ll save much money on fuel, but our furnace is probably getting to be close to 20 years old and I’m certain we’ll save on our energy bill. You can too if you upgrade your furnace too.

Anyway, I just thought that my readers in the UK might want to know about NorthernGasHeating. I know there are a number of you from the UK that read my site. If I can help you save some money or find a great company to deal with then I’m happy.

Gotta work on the new sites

January 29, 2008 by Tricia

Back in April of 2007 I bought 6 new domains and I had hoped to have developed all of those sites long before now, but sadly I’ve barely had time to do much with the new sites. Well, one of the sites was for my husband Chris. It’s his new Guitarlicksandtips.com music related blog. He’s done a good job of posting articles on that site (well he’s a bit behind lately), but the rest are languishing.

I’m hoping to set aside some time later today to get to work on two of my new home and shopping related blogs. I’ve already been looking around on the internet to find some products to talk about and I came across a great sale at Kohls.com that some of you might want to take advantage of. It’s a big two day sale where you can save 60 – 80% on a number of items. Hey stop by this site first get some Kohls coupons and you’ll probably end up saving even more money!

Anyway, it’s not like the new blogs are blank or anything, but I haven’t done all that much with them. Perhaps after I do some work on some of them today I’ll be willing to let you in on their urls so that you can check them out for yourself.

Clean house and cleaner air too

January 25, 2008 by Tricia

Even though I’ve been feeling terrible the last few days Chris and I did manage to get some housework done on Monday. He was off work, as he often is on Mondays, and late in the afternoon we decided it was time to vacuum. It was the first time we vacuumed around our puppy.

Now don’t get the wrong idea and think we live in a pig sty. We don’t have any carpeting in our house so dusting, sweeping and mopping regularly is usually sufficient. However, every once in a while it’s good to pull out the vacuum and do a thorough job of cleaning.

We had no idea how our puppy would react to our very loud vacuum.

I had a feeling she’d be ok with it as she doesn’t seem to mind when I use my blow dryer and the groomer said she was interested in their big blow dryer when she was being dried off at the groomers last Monday. Still … you just never know how an animal might react to something new so we wanted to try out the vacuum when Chris and I were both home. That way one of us could comfort her or totally remove her from the room if she started to freak out.

Turns out that she loved the vacuum. Chris started the vacuum and she went right up to it and acted as if it was a new toy to play with. She didn’t seem to mind the noise at all and was happy to watch as Chris vacuumed all of the dining room chairs, the inside of the air registers and so on.

It’s good to know that we can pull out our vacuum whenever we need to now and know that the dog won’t be upset by the noise. We just have to make sure she doesn’t bite the cord or the vacuum hose when we aren’t looking!

I’ve always found this house to be a little dustier than I think it should be … well compared to newer houses anyway.

I think it’s because we have an older furnace system – an oil furnace actually, and also because our 1927 triple brick house is made of lathe and plaster. Well the interior walls are made of lathe and plaster I mean! I’m also sure it doesn’t help that our living room dining room ceiling has had a bit of work done on it and is currently waiting for us to put up that tin ceiling I’ve been talking about for ages.

Sometime in the future we’ll think about changing over to gas heating. At that time we’ll also need to get a new furnace. I’m sure a new furnace with better filters or an air cleaning system on the furnace will make a huge difference in the amount of dust in the house!

Oh, on Saturday we splurged and got two air purifiers. Chris and I both smoke. Yes I know – we’re bad. We plan on quitting soon. We figured that the air purifiers will help with the air quality in our home too as they clean the air of dust, pollen, smoke, mold and bacteria particles. They are Honeywell Hepa air purifiers with permanent filters.

We were going to get one big air purifier, however since the air purifier should be located in the area that we sit in and smoke in most often to be most effective we figured a big one, one large enough to clean the air in a large open living room dining room would be too noisy to sit be side we opted to get two of the next size down. So we got two medium sized air purifiers. One is near where we sit in the living room and the other is at the other end of the room in the dining room.

So now our house is really clean and the air should be a lot cleaner too!

Do you use air purifiers in your home or do you have a funny story about your pet and vacuums or other cleaning equipment?
