Online window shopping for furniture

by Tricia

If you are thinking of purchasing new furniture, whether it be a particular piece of furniture or perhaps enough to furnish a whole room you should take a moment and have a look at the quality furniture being sold at furniturefromhome.com.

When we complete our basement renovation I’ll be shopping for new furniture. We already have a sectional couch for the room but that’s about it. What I’d really like to do is section the basement off so there’s a laundry room, bathroom, a den or living area and a guest bedroom.

We already have three bedrooms in our home but another bedroom is always handy. However, since we don’t have any spare bedroom furniture so we’ll need to get some Bedroom Furniture. Perhaps something like this bookcase bed. I’ve told you before that we live in a 1927 house and there’s no closets or storage. A bed such as this with all it’s drawers would be fantastic. Perhaps we wouldn’t have to get as much bedroom furniture with such a bed?

Actually, after taking a look at their selection of Leather Sofas perhaps I might ditch the old sectional sofa. They have some very nice leather sofas to choose from – regular two or three seaters and sectional. I like them! Take a look.

Actually I’m getting some more ideas as I browse through the site. If you visit their living room furniture section and scroll to the bottom of the page you’ll see a three seat black leather couch at the bottom. It’s the leather executive media sectional sofa home theater set. We have a large HDTV. We could get a sofa like that one, put our HDTV in the basement and have a a movie screening room. Yeah, I like that idea.

Would you set up a media room if you could?

I really do like the furniture at this online store. Have a look for yourself, perhaps you’ll find some pieces that you like too. They offer free national delivery too – I think that’s a bonus!

Wallhogs – create your own wall art

by Tricia

I’ve been fascinated with the idea of owning a wallhog ever since I first heard of them a few months ago.

What’s a wallhog you ask?

Well, Wallhogs are basically BIG prints that you can hang on the walls of your home or office. What’s best about wallhogs is that you can make them as personal as you want.

By this I mean to say that you can use your own photographs to create a big print wallhog to hang on your wall.

If you have a photo of a special event – perhaps your son hitting his first home run, a lovely photograph or perhaps even a corporate logo you can have it made into a large poster, vinyl wall hanging or even a canvas print.

create_wall.jpgI mentioned corporate logo because I can see businesses using wallhogs in their offices or perhaps at trade shows and other events to advertise their company symbol or perhaps even to create a wallhog or two to display products that the company specializes in.

As far as using a wallhog in the home, why wouldn’t you want to decorate your home with personalized wall art?

You can upload your own digital photographs for use as a poster, canvas or vinyl print, or you can browse through their catalog of photos and images in order to find the perfect wallhog for your home or office.

We have a large empty wall in our basement that would be perfect for a wallhog. Prior to hearing about wallhogs I’d been thinking of having an artist paint a mural on that wall. Now I can just select one of my own photographs or choose one from the catalogue and use that on the wall.

How cool would it be to place a wallhog on one of the walls in your child’s bedroom of their favorite character or favorite things?

Wallhogs have come to be known as BIG prints, but you can get them made in several sizes.

Poster:

If you’d like to get a wallhog poster you’ll be pleased to know that a 24″ tall by 4 ft wide poster only costs $19.99. Isn’t that fantastic price – especially for an item that you can totally personalize by using your own photographs or digital images?

Posters can be created in sizes that range from 2ft to 7 ft by up to 4.5 ft. and are priced from $19.99 to $74.99. All posters have a high gloss finish and are shipped within 72 hours.

Vinyl Prints:

Vinyl Prints are the most versatile of the products available at Wallhogs because they are made to simply stick to a bare wall and can easily be removed, stored and reused again.

Just like the posters, vinyl wallhogs come in a variety of sizes ranging from 2ft to 7 ft by up to 4.5 ft. and are priced from $24.99 to $79.99 and they are also shipped within three days.

One thing I like about the vinyl prints is that the background can be removed from an image. Look at the sample image that I’ve placed above – do you see how the backgrounds been removed so that only the child about to hit a baseball is shown? You can have that done with your own prints so that the focus of the Wallhog is on whatever you want to be shown.

Canvas Prints:

Canvas prints range in size from 11 x 14 inches up to 24 by 36 inches. The prices for a quality canvas print wallhog are quite reasonable as well – $19.99 to $49.99. Surprisingly canvas prints usually ship on the same day.

Are you beginning to see why I think Wallhogs are a fantastic idea? You can use them anywhere! Where else can you get high quality, fully customizable art for a reasonable price?

Oh and if you are an artist or photographer Wallhogs has a program that allows artists to sell their work within their catalog, or via their own website.

I’ve yet to purchase a Wallhog but I can tell you that the wallhog team is fantastic.

Scott, who writes the Wallhogs blog, and I have been talking occasionally over the last few months and as soon as I get my act together I’ll be uploading several of my own photographs to the Wallhogs catalogue. Scott is also happy to promote photobloggers on the Wallhogs Blog by posting their photographs in his post. He’s posted a few of my photo’s on the blog already.

Do take a moment to visit the Wallhogs website to get more information about the prints that you can create for your home or office walls. Don’t worry if you don’t have any good photographs to use – browse the catalog as there’s some fantastic images and photographs there for you to use.

Over 20,000 types of flooring at DiscountFlooring.com

by Tricia

Once the good weather begins here in my home town I notice a trend. Houses begin to go up for sale, and those that bought new homes begin renovating them, or perhaps those that didn’t sell also begin to upgrade their homes. This activity usually begins in March or April and continues at least until September.

Are you one of the people who are beginning to upgrade or renovate your home this year? Are you thinking of putting in new flooring? If you are, you might be interested in visiting DiscountFlooring.com where you can purchase everything from wood floors to laminate flooring, tile floors, porcelain tile, and even glass floors.

What I like about the site is that you can browse through the site by the type of flooring or tiling that you are looking for, or by brand names. There are thumbnail photos of each type of tile or flooring that you can click on in order to get more information about the product, as well as it’s pricing per square foot.

Discount Flooring lists more than 20,000 different types of flooring and tile products. You can choose from hardwood floors, laminate, cork, bamboo, ceramic tile, grantite, travertine, or glass.

There’s also an article library at Discount Flooring where you can find articles about picking the right flooring for your home, installation guides, and other tips and tricks for designing a room. They also have a service locator, so if you’d like to have your new flooring professionally installed you can use the service locator to find a contractor in your area.

We might install new flooring in our kitchen when we get around to renovating it. I’ve bookmarked this site so that I can browse through the different types of flooring when the time comes to decide what we’re doing with our kitchen. I suggest that you also bookmark the site if you have renovation plans in your future.
