I’ve been asked to do a write up for the online bedroom furniture and decor store TotalBedroom.com.

Headquartered in New Jersey, TotalBedroom.com is an online store that specializes in the sale of bedroom furniture for both adults and children, as well as bed linens and bedroom accents. The company had it’s start in 2003, and since that time has built it’s reputation as a provider of top quality bedroom furniture and accessories.

I’ve viewed each of the sections of the website, and I must say that they have taken the time to select some beautiful bedroom furnishings in traditional and contemporary styles. You’ll find bedroom furnishings to suit small and large spaces. Beds with built in extra storage compartments for those who need to be economical with their space, and luxurious full sized bedroom sets for those who have large rooms to fill.

I’d imagine that most of us are used to shopping in department stores or smaller retail stores that specialize in specific types of furnishings. If you have been shopping for bedroom furniture recently you are probably familiar with retail prices. I’ve found that the prices are substantially lower at TotalBedrooms.com when compared to similar items that can be found in retail stores.

Navigating the site is quite easy. Just use the menu that’s located on the left side of each page of the site to select the items you are interested in.

The top of the menu begins with TotalBedrooms.com’s Best Values section where you can find queen sized beds under $399, Headboards from $149, Platform beds from $154, Queen sets under $1,999 and comforter sets from $169.

You can shop the site by brand name or by the type of product. Listings include Daybeds, Bedroom sets, Beds, headboards, Futons, Futon Covers, Bedroom Furniture, Bedding, Kids Furniture, Bedroom Accents, Mattresses, Bed frames and Trundles. Their selection of beds range from Twin size beds all the way up to California King size beds in styles that include platform, sleigh, leather, wood, metal and lovely canopy beds.

I’m quite taken with this Diamonte Bedding set. It’s lovely and looks luxurious. I even like the metal bed frame that it’s being displayed on.

The Deluxe Diamonte Bedding pack comes with a comforter, bedskirt, shams and a tri pillow pack. Whereas the Super pack includes all of the above plus Euro Pillows. This set is available in queen to California King size and ranges in price from $359 to $419.

The main page of the site lists specials such as Platform beds at reduced prices, Items that are on sale for between 35% to 65% off, Bedroom sets that are on sale and new items that have just been added to the inventory. You’ll also find specials listed at the bottom of most of the pages on the site as well.

If you happen to find a product being sold on TotalBedroom.com that’s being sold elsewhere for less you can inform them of the price difference and they’ll try to beat the price that you’ve found. See their Price Match Policy for more information.

If all that I’ve described above isn’t enough what do you think of the fact that TotalBedroom.com offers top level delivery service free of charge? They even use an online tracking system that will allow you to check the status of your order. At this time they only ship to the 48 states in the Continental USA.

All in all I think this is a well thought out website. It’s easy to navigate and is filled with a wide selection of products that anyone would be pleased to purchase for their home.






Sizzle, pop, bang – BOOM!

On Saturday our neighbors tree caught on fire! One of the branches fell down onto the electric power line below and it started sizzling away.

I was upstairs when this happened. I looked out the window because I saw a person circling in the intersection looking down the street beside our semi detached house. I wrote it off as just someone doing something a little weird.

A few minutes later someone knocked on our door to tell us that the tree beside our neighbors- the neighbors who’s house is attached to ours was on fire!

Ahhhh!

Chris ran outside to see how bad it was and I picked up the phone to call the fire department! I got 911 on the phone and in a shaky voice told them ” the tree next to our house is burning! It’s a big maple, a branch fell on the electric power line!”

Of course, as would happen, I’d just had a shower and my hair was wet and all over the place. Never the less I ran outside to have a look for myself.

By this time it appeared the fire was stopping or slowing down. I went back inside the house to at least comb my hair … our houses weren’t on fire and the tree didn’t look like it was going to fall .. and the phone rang. This time it was the police calling me just to verify the info that I’d told them and to let me know that fire trucks and police were on the way.

As I was on the phone there was a loud explosion! A big bang! Of course I’m freaking out a bit as I’m talking to the police after that! LOL

I later found out that the explosion was the electric box that the wires powering the adjoining street, and our neighbors house went into. Amazingly we still had power.

In the end the fire contained itself and Hydro – our Toronto power company, came along to reset the electricity – one whole street was out but our house still had power – and I think they trimmed the tree too.

It was an exciting few hours but in the end didn’t amount to all that much.

I did learn a few things though … the tree was burning for at least 10 minutes before I called the fire department. Others were aware that there was a fire – especially when you consider the person walking strangely across the street that I’d seen from my upstairs window.

I was the only person to call 911.

The neighbor who’s house was affected was so scared he stayed inside the house!

Hello people .. if your house has a huge chance of catching on fire get the heck out! Number one rule!

So I guess I live in a neighborhood filled with people who have no clue what to do in an emergency situation. Gee that makes me feel better.
