Might refurnish the living room

December 7, 2006 by Tricia

Whenever we manage to finish our renovations, particularly of our living room I think I’m going to refurnish the main floor. I’ve been spending time looking at this luxury furniture site and I really like the furniture that they have on display.

We already have an antique dinning room set with Buffet that I inherited from my parents so I think I’d be concentrating of furniture for the living room. I really like the look of the Magestic Monte Carlo wall unit set. The description says that it fits a 50 inch TV and that’s what we’ve got. It would be nice to have a real entertainment unit as we aren’t using one right now. Oh we’ve got a special Tv stand for our big TV and most of the electronic extras that go with it fit underneath but I’d like to have a place where I could store the CDs and DVDs and other nick nacks. Have a look at the site yourself and see if you think you could use any of their luxury furniture.

Cash back for shopping online

December 1, 2006 by Tricia

I just came across yet another site that offers cash back to consumers when they make purchases online. It sounds like a great idea. Now if I just had some money to spend so that I could get some cash back. LOL

Ebates has even been discussed on CNN and has been called a “No-Brainer”. There are more than 800 name brand stores for you to shop from. Stores such as Circuit City, Office Depot, Barnes & Noble, and Target plus many more. You must become a registered member in order to use the Ebates site but it’s completely free as there is no cost for membership.

The site is an online shopping portal, where members save at least 5% on each purchase they make at participating online stores. They can even save up to 25% at some stores. Savy shoppers can browse through the stores and find the best deals with the latest online coupons. The next time that I need to do some online shopping I’ll be visiting Ebates and hopefully I’ll get lucky and find some of the 25% of deals.

Thinking about getting a hot tub

November 29, 2006 by Tricia

I know I’ve talked about Chris and I visiting various friends and relatives this year who happen to have their own hot tub in their back yards. People like my brother and Chris’ sister! Well Chris has been pestering me “I wanna Hot Tub, I wanna Hot tube”.

He’s even got it all planned out as to how to fit it onto our back patio. Well, actually that part was my idea. Since our backyard is so small I was thinking that if we ever did get a hot tub we could maybe dig out the storage area that is under the enclosed back porch .. and put the hot tub half under than. If we did that we’d make an entrance into our basement so you could get to the hot tub from inside the house, or from the backyard by accessing it from the patio.

Sounds good doesn’t it?

Chris has been looking at companies that put in pools and spas and one that we both like is
Blue World Pools website because they have such nice products. They’ve installed over 35,000 swimming pools/hot tubs since 1982. Sounds like they have a good reputation to have been in business for such a long period of time.

I think we’ll spend some time looking over the site and the different types of hot tubs and installations that they do. I’ll probably give Chris the green light on the project at some point – but not this year, maybe next spring perhaps.

Do any of my readers have a pool or hot tub? Do you use it often?

Give a Photo Mosiac as a gift

November 25, 2006 by Tricia

I just came across a site that makes unique gifts out of photographs.

The company is called Design a Mosaic, and when you order a photo mosaic from them with create a custom photo gift out of a series of your own photos using one main photo as the main image.

The remaining photos are used to compose the many cells with in the main photo to make an image, that when viewed close up reflects the many photographs that make up the picture as a whole. It’s amazing how they do this. See the sample photo mosaics on their site to see what I mean.
