Have you ever thought of using a professional landscaper?

by Tricia

I know that many of you who read this blog have lovely gardens that you’ve worked on for years. Others are just starting out and some of you would eventually love to have a beautiful yard, but you’re still trying to figure out how you’d like your landscaping to look.

Have you ever thought of contacting a professional landscaping company? The company that I’m writing about today is called Leisure Landscapes and they service the Triangle area of North Carolina.

I’ve written about landscaping in past articles. Some people contact a landscaper and are provided with landscape design ideas that they can then either approve and have the landscaping company begin work on their yard, other people pay to have a landscape designer come to their home, provide design ideas that would work with their layout and their gardening zone and then begin the design projects themselves. In the last case they’ve just payed the landscape company for an opinion and design ideas.

Most landscaping companies provide a variety of services such as the installation of patios, walks and walls, landscape lighting, gardens, fountains, decks and arbors. Many will also install fences, lawns, irrigation systems, ponds and even plant small to large trees on your properties. I believe most landscaping companies also offer a maintenance service to keep your newly landscaped yard looking lovely. Certainly Leisure Landscapes provides all of these services and more.

Do think about contacting a landscaping company if you want to revamp your property and create something special.

I found the perfect stainless steel range hood for our kitchen reno

by Tricia

I am so happy that our house guests are gone! Now I can get back to blogging on a regular basis again. Can you believe I’ve had up to nine house guests in my home over the last week!

My 19 year old niece brought a college girlfriend with her and I ended up going shopping with them twice. I forgot how much teenage girls like to shop!

While they were trying on clothes, shoes, cosmetics and buying bathing suits that they didn’t even use at the beach, I wandered around and I found a really nice store that sold home appliances and I spent some time in their modern kitchen showroom.

You might remember that I’ve said one of the rooms we hope to renovate soon is our kitchen. I’m always interested in getting ideas or finding items that I want to purchase for our kitchen.

Well I must say that I was successful in finding something for my kitchen that we actually need right now. It’s a range hood. The one that we have over our stove came with the house and it died last year!

Since I’ll be changing the whole layout of the kitchen when we renovate I’m going to wait to buy a range hood that suits the new modern look of our kitchen. I’m certain that I found the one that I want though.

range_hood-galaxy2.jpg Futuro Futuro makes a large variety of Italian made range hoods. The kitchen showroom that I was browsing around in had a few different models of wall mounted and island mounted range hoods and I think I found the perfect style for our new kitchen.

Isn’t that a beautiful range hood? I could build my whole kitchen design around that sleek modern beauty.

It has four speed electronic controls, two halogen lights, automatic thermo protection and it runs very quietly. Obviously it’s also a modern stainless steel design. It’s three filters are dishwasher safe too so it will be easy to clean and maintain.

My husband loves the design too. You see he wasn’t with us on our shopping trip so I came home and looked up the manufacturer so I could show him the range hood I’d found and he agrees with me that it will make a fantastic addition to our kitchen renovation plans. So I’m a happy lady. I have the go ahead to buy this range hood when we’re ready.

What do you think of this range hood. Would you like to have something like this in your kitchen?
