Do You Make New Years Resolutions?

Resolution to Get More Resolution

A few years ago, I made a New Year's resolution to get more resolution. I am probably a lot less funny than I think when I make that joke (although it did get twelve likes on facebook when I posted it there). I decided that I was going to make the leap to a 4K television that year. This was a huge step for me because I still had one of those old box sets. At the time I bought it, flat screens were the cutting edge of technology and out of my price range. Fast forward a few years and those types of televisions are relics of a bygone era. 

When I went in to buy the new flat screen TV, I was prepared to drop some serious cash. However, As with any trip to the local electronics megastore, you are always asked if you want to apply for credit. I decided it would be in my best interest to give myself 6 months to pay off this new purchase interest-free. After purchasing the television, I found out that it did not fit the entertainment center in my house. After some modifications that left that center ugly as a homemade bar of soap, I had my TV ready to go. 

Everything was fine for a few months. While nothing ever happened to the television set, before the six-month interest-free period was over, they had come out with a new type of high definition technology. Introducing the all-new 4K ultra high definition flat screens... So, there I was, stuck paying for a TV that was already old news. I can think of so many much worse problems to be in so it feels like I really shouldn't have let it get to me. I just tell myself it can't be that much better than what I have now.

Happy Holidays from House of Furniture in Lubbock, Texas

Stay Safe this Holiday Season

Christmas Day is fast approaching and so a lot of people may be in a mad dash to get their holiday shopping and plans accomplished. Traffic on the roads is getting denser as people are starting their vacations travels. Also, this time of year up until after New Years Day, there tends to be an increase in the number of accidents that happen on the road. Sadly, this number grows because there are more drivers who are driving while impaired by alcohol. The U.S. National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) released a report in 2015 that 40% of automotive accident fatalities during Christmas and New Year's involve people who are driving drunk. It is for this reason that a little extra caution can go a long way while traveling. 

Taking a cautious approach while driving may help keep you from becoming the victim of an accident with a drunk driver. Of course, the best thing you can do to keep from being in a drunk driving accident is not to get behind the wheel of a car is you have been drinking. yes, there is a legal limit to how much you can drink, but unless you carry around your own calibrated breathalyzer, you might not want to chance it. Just a minor amount of planning can help keep you and others on the road safer. Call a cab, or have a friend be a designated driver. 

Cautious Driving

Even if you haven't been drinking alcohol, your chances of being hit by someone who has is increased around the holidays. There aren't many things you can do other than keep a very sharp eye out for abnormal behaviors by other drivers. If you are following someone who is swerving, you may want to just find an alternate route to your destination instead of trying to pass them. Intersections can be bad places, too. Limiting the number of distractions that you have in your vehicle may help you keep your eyes on the road and on the lookout for dangers. The cold hard truth is that as safe as you may try to be, someone else may not share your same affinity for cautious driving. 

House of Furniture wants to wish you a safe and happy Holiday Season. Stay warm and enjoy the time this time that allows you to spend time with your family and friends!

Traveling can be Really Fun!

Where is the Furthest You've Traveled?

If someone asked me that question, the answer would be Anaheim, CA. Living in Texas, I am lucky and I don't have to travel coast to coast to visit either of the seaboards. Living in the middle of the country makes it a little easier to see various areas. For some time now, I have wanted to travel to Maine and also to Washington State. To me, these are the furthest places I can travel and still be in the continental United States. Not to expose too much of myself, but I have a fear of heights so just the act of booking a plane ticket is scary to me. Combine flying with a fear of deep water and you have a recipe for a panic attack to travel by plane over an ocean. Not to say that I won't be able to overcome my fear eventually, but I am in no rush to book a flight to Hawaii even though I am sure I would love it there. 

If people asked the question of where I would like to travel most in this world, I would Have to say Japan piques my interest. I would love to go visit Kyoto while the cherry trees are blossoming. Akihabara in Tokyo also seems like it would be a fun place to visit. Of course, Mt. Fuji and Aokigahara forest would be on my list of places to visit, as well. There would be so many places that I would like to visit that I have decided it would take more than one trip to see and do everything that I want. 

Another top travel priority for me is to visit Ireland. I would like to see the land of my ancestors and stand in the same places they stood. I would visit Dublin and talk to as many people as I could. I would also visit the Ring of Kerry and the Cliffs of Moher. I really could go on and on about what I want to do and where I want to visit. Talking about it always makes me that much braver and helps me conquer that fear bit by bit.

The Cabin by the Lake

Memories of the Old Cabin

My Grandfather used to own a lakefront cabin when I was growing up. While my Grandpa has since passed away, I will never forget the experiences I had in that cabin and along the lake. From fishing to listening to coyotes howl right outside the door there are many stories I could tell you about that place. 

One time, when I was around 6 years old, my Grandad's brother and his wife came by while we were staying in that area. This was actually a normal occurrence since they lived so close to the cabin. This particular time, my great aunt had brought a belated birthday present for me. It was a larger sized toy dump truck and I proceeded to spend hours playing with that thing. After a while, I managed to make a road system in the dirt driveway that led to the cabin. Now, my grandpa was impressed by my work, but he also wanted me to fill in the dirt in the morning. However, Mother Nature decided to help the work that I had cut out for me by sending a massive storm overnight. We woke up to a delta of deep washed out grooves that were much larger than the ones I had dug for my roads. It had become a two-man job and my grandpa scooped up dirt from the washout and I toted the bucket and poured in the grooves. I don't think that poor driveway ever recovered until we had some granite sand delivered. 

The Furnishings 

While there are a lot of things I remember about the inside of the cabin, I will always remember the furniture in that place. I was too young to care at that point in my life. You know that time where you could sleep in any position and there were no consequences. Well, I seem to recall my parents mildly complain about aches and pains after spending a few days there. Fast forward to when we sold the place and I was older and had been on my own for a while. I sat down on the edge of one of the beds and on one of the sofas and I looked over at my folks with the newfound knowledge of why they griped about the beds. It felt like the couch was trying to swallow me whole. I don't even know how to describe the way the mattress felt. It was like someone took deer antlers and old socks and tried to fill the mattress with them. Quite possibly, that was the most uncomfortable feeling I had felt from something that is supposed to help you sleep.

I have stayed in many other cabins over the past couple of decades and none of them ever left me feeling jealous. I've been told I just haven's stayed at the right place.

When You Need a Change of Pace

What I Did to Create a Change

I am not too proud to admit that I get a case of the blues every now and then. One time in particular, I was down in the dumps for about four months and I was feeling like nothing could go right in my life. Now, what I am going to write about is definitely not a substitute for professional help or medication when it comes to clinically diagnosed depression. What I did to snap myself out of my rut worked for me but it might not work for everyone. Basically, what I am saying is that I am not trying to give advice on how to deal with negative feelings, I am just retelling the story of some changes I made that helped me out. 

My First Step

This may sound silly to a lot of people, but I started making my bed after I woke up every morning. I know it is just a seemingly inconsequential thing, but what it did for me was give me a sense of accomplishment first thing in the morning. Before, my habit had been to sleep in and take every minute I could to just lay in bed. I would make my bed right before going to sleep and this change was the first change in a domino effect that helped me get to a better state of mind. 

My Second Step 

I redid my bedroom. Without getting into anything specific, I was used to the way that my bedroom looked and felt. It reminded me of things that were best not to remember. I moved my bed and other furniture in my room out and laid down some old sheets. I painted the walls a totally different color that I personally picked out. After the new shade was dry, the furniture came back in but I placed them in different places. At first, everything felt slightly odd. However, after about four or five days, I began to sleep like I had just bought a new mattress. 

I could write that there was a step for each room that I remodeled in my home, but I am sure you get the drift of what I did. I was amazed at how much better the days felt. Don't get me wrong, I still was reminded from time to time about what had gotten me into the state of mind from which I had worked to escape. Most people are creatures of habit, so we take the same pathway through our house, sleep in the same spot, and sit in the same position on the sofa. I had to do things differently than I had been doing for years. It all started by making my bed.

Why are Beds so Important?

Beds are Important for Memory

Beds play a vital role in how much and how well we sleep. While your mattress plays the largest part in the grand scheme of things, bed frames are important, too. 

Our bodies require sleep to do a broad range of activities. Muscle repair and development, toxin removal, hormone synthesizing, all occur when we rest our bodies for long periods. Another thing that happens is that our brains log memories during a process referred to as consolidation. 

Memory consolidation helps deal with all the information that our minds take in over the course of a day. There is a massive amount of data that our senses take in that, during the night, our brains will convert from short-term memory to long-term. While there are exceptions, since the brain is a complicated organ, for most people, this means that when you are well rested, you retain more information from the previous day. 

Losing Sleep is Unhealthy

This title may seem like an obvious statement, but some people may underestimate the vital function of sleep and the benefits of being well rested. Length of time spent sleeping and the quality of sleep play a huge role in how well your mind retains memories and your body repairs and recharges itself. Depending on your age, a human will need more or less sleep. The younger you are, the more sleep you need since everything is still developing. Losing sleep can lead to deprivation that negatively affects the body and brain. While it can slightly help, trying to recover lost hours of rest won't be as helpful as you might think. In the long run, maintaining a consistent schedule will help you stay charged and ready for what life throws at you.

Beds for Sale in Lubbock, TX

Scheduling is not the only thing to consider when it comes to healthy amounts of sleep. Mattress and bed quality are highly important in the equation of being well-rested. If your mattress is old and is not providing the proper support or if your bed frame is creaky and makes so much noise it disturbs your rest, you need to think about purchasing new ones. House of Furniture in Lubbock has a vast selection of beds for you to view. Our friendly staff can help you find the item you need to bring you that much closer to the rest your body needs to stay healthy. Between the low prices and the high quality items we offer, you will be meeting up with the sandman in no time at all. 

Why are They Called "Throw PIllows"?

Where did Throw Pillows Get Their Name?

Cell phones are a significant technological advancement when you take the time to think about them. You have the world's information at the tips of your fingers. You can look up anything you want to know about and in a few seconds, it is right in the palm of your hand. When you think about it, a handheld computer was science fiction not too long ago. With all this knowledge at my fingertips, what did I decide to learn about? How throw pillows got that moniker. 

The first site that had information to read was a Wikipedia page. Since anyone who wants can post unverified information on that page, I am typically skeptical about that site when it comes to looking up symptoms or other important issues. However, I don't suspect any dubious information is being compiled on throw pillows. I didn't really learn anything about how the name originated, but I did learn that in Britain, they are called scatter pillows. 

I decided to go back and scroll further down the search results and, while I thought to myself that I am dedicating way too much time to this idea, I looked at a few opinion sites. You know? The places where people ask questions and other kind strangers try to answer them. With the handful that I read, it seems the general consensus is that since these pillows are used for decorative purposes, they are just thrown on the couch or bed. It's not really the answer that I was hoping for, but it does make sense.

Let's Talk About Accents

Home Accents That is!

No, I'm not talking about French or other accents. I am talking about the ones that you can use to liven up your home. Home accessories and accents have several different uses. This versatility makes them almost as essential as the actual furniture itself. The word accent can mean to stress or emphasize something, so this is the purpose of most of these types of furniture items and decoration. From shapes to colors, the way an object can draw attention to what you want allows you to be quite creative while arranging and decorating your home. 

The Flow of Your Home

When deciding how you want the flow of your home to go, accent furniture can be used as a guiding hand. The entry of your home is the first step a person will take in your abode so you will want to use a strong feature like ornamental plant stands or a chest that has a strong presence. You can accomplish this with the color or shape of the item you choose as well as how ornate it is. 

Tables and chairs are a potent way to add some flair to your room, and since they come in all shapes, sizes, materials, and finishes, the imagination can run wild with the possibilities. In your living room, you may have an accent wall. Matching your home accessories to this wall can really help to tie the whole room together. 

The Style of Your Home

If you are looking to have a particular style, decor and accessories will play a vital role in helping you accomplish a specific look. From rustic to SoCal sheik, it won't be just the furniture that has to match the style. You wouldn't want to mix an art nouveau chair with a Victorian living room set. Speaking of Victorian, you could use a settee to help accentuate the rest of your main pieces. Color also is significant while maintaining an individual style. From earth tones and dark woods to pastels and vibrant fabrics, you really do have a lot to consider when decorating your home.

Grandma's House in the 70's and 80's

Gotta Love that Plastic Covered Sofa

I know I may be showing my age, but I remember visiting my grandma and experiencing things that I never did anywhere else. First off, there was always a dish of hard candy in the living room. The only problem was that you needed a crowbar to pull the pieces apart. I remember finding a small flat head screwdriver and feeling elated that I no longer had to risk tearing off a fingernail to get a treat. One of the other things I remember was there not being any air conditioning in the house. It really wasn't too far off from my actual experience at home since my mom and dad didn't do the air conditioning either. We did, however, have a swamp cooler that would do the trick assuming the humidity never passed the 60% mark, but I digress. The thing that baffled me the most was the sofa in the den that was covered by a plastic coating.  I just didn't understand why in the world you would prefer the feel of plastic to cloth. 

I was about 4 or 5 years old when I first was cognizant enough to remember this strange phenomenon. I remember my parents talking about how much they disliked the feel of the couch. I was lucky in my youth (heat didn't affect me like it does now...) and I realize that deep south humidity, no A/C and plastic covered furniture would mix for quite an unpleasant experience.  

The Greatest Generation's Furniture

As I got older, I learned more about both what my grandma had gone through and how difficult it is to find reasonably priced furniture for sale. This unique perspective allowed me to understand how difficult things actually got during the depression and through two world wars. Her family experienced things I hope mine will never come across. They had utilitarian wooden furniture and she and all five of her siblings shared one room.  She took care of everything and did her best to make sure it would last as long as possible. To her, sacrificing what she considered a small amount of comfort to ensure a longer life for a luxury in her home was worth it. Almost everything was a luxury to her, considering her childhood. It truly was an eye-opening discovery when I was old enough to understand the hardships that she endured. 

Discount Furniture for Sale in Lubbock, Texas

It truly is a blessing that I haven't had to go through everything that my Grandparents did. When I think about how there are places like House of Furniture in Lubbock, TX, I am grateful that there is a place that provides quality furniture for homes at prices that won't make you feel like fainting.

How To Care For Wood Furniture

Tips on How to Care for Your Wood Furniture

Furniture, including wood pieces, are a part of our daily lives. Some of these pieces have an emotional or symbolic importance to us. No matter their importance, they deserve the best care we can give them. Wood furniture can become a treasured possession in your home, and with the proper care, your precious piece can last for generations. Quality wood furniture is a significant investment that needs to be maintained and understanding proper care and preventing damage are well within your hands.
You may be wondering what type of cleaner or polisher is right for your piece. You also might be torn between cleaning vs. dusting, and polishing vs. waxing wood furniture. Over time, furniture will accumulate dust, dirt, and even grease. It will also have a tendency of losing its sheen or polish which can cause it to absorb oils and water.
Damage and destruction of your piece can come in many forms. Here are some useful tips to keep your wooden furniture clean and last for years thanks to newstimes.

Tips on How to Care for that Special Piece

1. To clean the finish on your wood furniture just use warm water and mild dish soap. Cleaning furniture with water won't hurt it -- just be careful not to soak it. Use an old toothbrush for hard-to-get areas. Wipe the dirt off the surface with soft cloths or paper towels until they come up fairly clean. Then dry off any residual moisture with a soft cloth.

2. After a good cleaning, the best way to protect the finish is to use a good-quality soft paste wax. Apply a thin coat as directed on the label. Wait five minutes and buff lightly with a soft (shoe) brush or cloth. Wait for another 30 to 60 minutes and buff/brush again with a bit more vigor. You'll see a beautiful shine return to the finish that will last for many months.

3. Keep your furniture out of the sun. The temperature of the summer sun coming through a window can go above 140 degrees. It will cook fine finishes, fading and destroying them over time, and dry out and shrink the wood, which will cause cracks.

4. Don't place wood furniture near heating units or vents. Dry heat will cause the wood to dry and shrink, leaving cracks. Use a humidifier in the drier months to bring the moisture up to the 40 to 45 percent level.

5. For a quick-fix touch-up, use the appropriate color shoe polish on scratches and chips, especially to make them less visible on the feet of furniture. Carefully using a matching-color felt-tip marker first will hide it even better.

6. When polishing metal hardware, take it off the furniture first. Take your time and make a note to remember what piece goes back where. Use a quality metal polish to get it shining again. Once it's buffed, put it back on, being careful not to scratch the wood surfaces. I recommend that you don't try to do this all at one time. It can be a lot of work, so take a few days, doing a few pieces at a time, instead of getting tired and frustrated with trying to do too much.

There you have it; it is not as difficult as it may seem. Proper care using the right tools and cleaning products can keep any piece looking fabulous. Newstimes has a few more tips on how to shop for new or antique furniture, restore or refinishing a piece, and how to remove white hazy marks or spots, all very useful.

Bookcases are Making a Comeback!?

Do You Have a Bookcase in Your Home?

When I was much younger, I always loved going over to hang out with my best friend. This friend's dad was a preacher, and he had a room full of bookcases. Most of the books were of different critiques on religious views and in-depth studies into various parts of the Bible. There was one that was dedicated to holding a massive collection of Star Wars novels from the Expanded Universe. I was intrigued by this contrast, and I always looked at the spines arranged in alphabetical order. There was a sense of awe and wonderment in that room. To me, it felt like a tiny little library. I realize now it was his study room and, perhaps, his place to escape to a galaxy far, far away. 

That room and the idea of having a library always seemed so sophisticated to me. Today, more than 20 years later, I may not have realized my dream of having a small library, but I have several bookcases in my home full of all sorts of texts. From biographies and other non-fiction to historical and science fiction novels, I've tried my best to keep every book I've ever purchased. Perhaps, at some point, I may reach my goal of being able to line a room of my home with shelves and shelves of books.

The Supposed Death of Print

With the advent of the internet and hand-held electronic devices like Kindles and iPads, people have been saying that the days of print is dead. Still, bookstores are selling physical copies of books to people like me who just want to have that tangible rectangle of pages. To me, there is just something about having a real book in your hand that can't be replicated with technology. The feel of turning a page, the smell of the paper and the ability to set them up in a row on a shelf are all reason enough for me to forego the modern replacement. 

Don't get me wrong, I understand the benefits of eBooks. They don't take up space, they don't wear out or suffer any of the physical adversities that paperbacks have. Still, I (and seemingly many others) choose to do things the old-fashioned way.

Office Furniture for Sale in Lubbock, TX

If you are like me and you love books, then you may understand the need for quality when looking at bookcases for sale. There are very cheap (in both price and quality) options that you can find at the big bargain stores. You know the compressed wood items that come with vague and sometimes indecipherable instructions that I am talking about. While these items have their place, they don't hold up well to the test of time, and they can begin to sag and bow while trying to hold up your library of books. If you are looking for a bookcase for your office, House of Furniture in Lubbock has a great selection of home office furniture. The best news is that you can get high-quality furniture at genuinely discounted prices. If you would like to see the entire collection online, just click here!

Is your Dining Room Table Ready for the Curb?

Throw Out That Old Dining Room Table

Let’s be real here, how long have you had that dining room table? The dining room table is definitely showing its age. The table has scratches all over it and the chairs are wobbly and perhaps broken. The table shakes and is no longer sturdy. Also, the top may even look like a disaster from years of abuse from the kids. If this is the case, then you’ve probably had this dining room table for far too long. The dining room table is a very important piece of furniture since it's the focal point of the room. It’s also where you and your guests sit and talk or even play games together.

Could Your Garage Become a new Room?

A Growing Family May Require Some Innovation

If your family is growing beyond the space that you have in your home, you only have a few options of how to deal with it. First, you could move. However, that option may not be feasible depending on logistics and other more financial concerns. Another idea is that you could add a room to your existing home, but, once again, financial constraints may not allow this. A lot of families will have their children begin sharing a room. That is honestly, the most viable option for most families. Coming from someone who shared a room with his brother for most of his life, there are some good things and bad things that come with doing this, but I digress. One other option for accommodating expanding living arrangements would be to convert a room like an office, or even a garage to a new room. 

Turning the Garage into a Bedroom 

To many people, a garage is really a place that just collects junk over a period of time. The garage is counted as part of the square footage of your house yet you may not really utilize it to its fullest potential. That’s why many people change or repurpose their garage to be a more useful space. Converting the garage into a bedroom may seem like a daunting task, but it is going to be cheaper than building a new room from scratch. You do have to act lay some electrical wires, insulate the garage door, lay sheetrock, and, more than likely, lay flooring down. Of course, you want to do all of the other cosmetic things such as painting and all such like that but aside from that, it shouldn't take much more to get convert it to a new bedroom.

Furnishing the New Space

Now that you’ve created the new room, you really need to furnish the new space. Taking into consideration who is going to be living in this new room, it may be time to upgrade or replace some furniture items. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on the bedroom set for this new bedroom.

Breathe New Life into Your Bedroom

Give Your Bedroom New Life

If you’re like me, then you have more than likely had your same bedroom’s furniture set for years. I remember I bought our sleigh bed when I was 21 years old. Now I’m 35 and I still have that same sleigh bed. Don’t worry I have changed the mattress out since then. The point, however, is that you purchase furniture when you first get your own place and typically stick with that furniture for years to come. The primary reason for this is because we feel comfortable with that furniture and we don’t think that we really need to replace the furniture.

The reason for this is because you more than likely purchase the stuff at different times and none of it probably really matches too well.

Do You Need to Study?

Dreaming of a Study?

Growing up I was inspired by shows with gentlemen who had their own personal studies. The study was very elegant looking, had a nice desk, and had bookshelves that were filled with books. As a young child, I looked at these people with admiration and thought that is what I wanted to be whatever I grew up. I wanted to be a well-read individual that had a reputation as an intellectual and a gentleman. There is still something so attractive, or alluring about having your own personal study. Your study is a place where you can go to conduct research, work on course lectures or course content, or reflect on the newest argument coming out the historiography of your field. But since no one refers to them as studies anymore, they have become home offices. And, as a bonus, an office can count as a tax write off as a personal homework space since a growing number of people work from home.

What You Need for a Study

If you have a spare room, and like me have had ambitions of having your own personal study then perhaps you should not wait anymore and make your dream a reality. There are a few things that you will need to fully deck out your study. First and foremost you have to have that desk. You need a desk that is of high quality, elegant, and of solid wood. To go behind that desk you really need a comfortable chair. If you’re going to spend time at this desk researching and working you need to be comfortable while you do it. Now across from the desk, you need a couple other chairs to accommodate visitors, guests, and colleagues. These chairs do not need to be as lovely, or as comfortable as your chair but still very nice and comfortable so that your guests feel welcome. Of course, to finish the study off, you will also need bookshelves. Depending on your discipline you probably collected a substantial number of books. So you need to possibly have multiple bookshelves to accommodate all of your books. You want to make sure that you get bookshelves that are of the highest quality, and match your desk.

Furniture Color Coordination in Your Home

The Power of Color Coding

Color coding is definitely a potent tool that home decorators use to provide a specific feel to a home. It is amazing how being surrounded by a particular color can make you feel a certain way. Restaurants, for example, have used this technique for years. For example, fast food restaurants will use bright colors such as red and orange to make you feel rushed so you will move to and from their doors quickly. On the other hand sitdown restaurants will use cool mellow colors such as beige or light yellow to make you feel comfortable and at home and willing to stay in relaxed for a more extended period of time. You can use the same techniques in your home to give your home an overall feel.

The Right Color for Your Home

To get the right feel in your home, you need to have a fair understanding of what the different colors do to human emotion. For example, yellow in your home can create a sense of happiness. While light blues, on the other hand, make you feel refreshed and calm. Reds and oranges, however, can make you feel very passionate. If you are want to feel more confident, you go with shades of purple and navy blue. If you are want your home to feel very peaceful then you should really look at various shades of gray. By color coding in this way, you can definitely add a specific ambiance to your entire home. Or you can have different rooms with the various color schemes according to what you desire these rooms to convey. For example, you may want your bedroom to feel peaceful so you have shades of gray. While your living room being the family center may have shades of yellow to encourage happiness. The kitchen may be better suited to have accents of red to make you feel passionate.

A Lift Chair may be Just What You Need!

Do you have a hard time getting up from your old recliner?

Getting old is undoubtedly a cruel trick. You work your whole life not having time to do anything and always feeling rushed. Now that you have reached retirement you are finding that your body isn’t able to do all of the stuff that you want to do. One example that comes to mind is a friend of mine who's always been very active in the hobby of reenacting. He was, however, an officer in the military. As such he was never in one place and always moved around. Because of this, he could never take a fuller active role in the hobby. He is now retired and jumped headlong into the hobby that he always wanted to pursue with great vigor. Yet he ends up hurting himself or overexerting himself at every event and came to the realization that his body just can’t handle it now that he’s reached retirement.

A Lift Chair to Make Life Easier

You may find a task that was always routine to be kind of difficult now. One of the best examples of this is just getting up from a sitting position. This is nothing to be ashamed of as it is really quite ordinary. The same time it is rather a heartbreaking battle. You love relaxing in your old recliner. Now you find it a burden to try to get out of that recliner. That’s why we suggest that the best approach would be to just replace your recliner with the lift chair. Lift chairs have mechanisms inside of them that lift you up off of the ground and makes getting out of the seat much more comfortable and less strain on your body. This way you can continue to live a full and enjoyable life.

18th Century Furniture Compared to Contemporary Fare

18th Century Furniture Compared to Contemporary Fare

Furniture in the 18th-century is very different than the furniture we have today. For example, furniture in those days was typically very ornate. The furnishings were more like pieces of art and were a symbol of class and status. Because of this, furniture makers and craftsmen during the 18th century were less interested in functionality and more interested in style and what was aesthetically pleasing to the eye. That’s because during the 18th-century beautiful furniture was reserved for the upper class or the gentry. The lower class did have furniture but it was typically homemade very functional and not aesthetically pleasing. So it goes without saying that furniture made by master craftsmen was costly. This furniture could be trimmed in gold, have expensive fabric to cover the cushions, and have intricate artwork carved in the wood.

A Shift from Style to Functionality

There was, however, a shift in the 19th century. That is that furniture started to become more functional and more affordable. It became common for people to be able to purchase furniture that maybe wasn’t so ornate but still nicely made. You can contribute a lot of this to the Industrial Revolution. Thanks to the Industrial Revolution, furniture manufacturers were able to mass-produce furniture and effectively lower the cost of furniture for the common man. If it weren’t for this advancement, then we wouldn’t have all the fun furniture pieces that we enjoy around her house today. Furniture is something that we definitely take for granted, so it is fascinating to consider that people two or 300 years ago didn’t enjoy the same luxuries of nice furniture that we have today. This is why the Industrial Revolution is one of those significant watershed moments that really helped to establish the way of life that we enjoy today.

Are you still using a computer that uses Windows XP or maybe even Windows 98? The answer may be more than likely no. Software and hardware update so quickly that really a computer is ancient within 10 years. This means that you are continually happening to update your computer.

If you are perhaps, it’s time to upgrade your computer desk.

Why Get a New Desk?

You’re probably questioning why you should get a new computer desk to begin with. After all your still functions just fine. You really have to ask yourself, however, is it really working just fine? After that much use, I’m sure that the keyboard drawer doesn’t glide as smoothly as it used to. I am also sure that the finish is starting to peel up or wear away. For that matter, some of the doors on it may be broken. Another aspect that makes me question if it’s really functioning for you is the fact that computers have gotten drastically smaller over the years. So the CPU cavity is probably not really the appropriate size for your current desktop. The reality is is that technology has changed and thus to better accommodate that technology, you need to have proper furniture that’s going to house that technology better.

You’ve watched her grown up over the years, and it’s definitely sad how quick time flies. You remember her first birthday party, and as you get memories on your Facebook feed, you see how she’s grown up over the years. But now your Princess is getting older, and she’s outgrowing all of her old furniture in her bedroom. And as she’s getting older that Princess piano set doesn’t have the same appeal as something else might, or that bed that she’s had for years is becoming a little too short. If this is the case then maybe it’s time you gave your princesses bedroom a makeover.

The Right Furniture for Princesses

If you decide that you want to give your princess's room a makeover that is more appropriate for her age then where should you even start? First and foremost start with the bed. Your princess will love a brand-new bed that is fit for a queen. There are a variety of beds to choose from, and so it may be fun to have your little girl involved in the makeover let her help you pick out the perfect bed that she wants. Something else that your Princess would definitely enjoy in her new room is a vanity. Getting older she’s going to want to dress up and try to make yourself look prettier (although you know that’s impossible) by fixing her hair and putting on makeup. So a vanity is definitely a must for your Princess. An entertainment center for her room is also another excellent choice. If your princess has a TV, DVD player, and maybe even a game station in her room. Update her room with an entertainment center that will keep everything organized and also complement the vanity and the bed.

Whether it’s hair, fashion, or a room makeover, a fresh start can make all the difference in a person's life. Makeovers of any kind can be difficult to come up with, deciding where to start first and how to put everything together can be confusing.

Just remember this, anything changeable easily is an accessory. But the change is possible by the change in accessories and simply sorting up your room. Changing out paintings, wall hangings, cushions, flower arrangements can add a world of difference and change up the mood in any room.

There are several reasons people need to buy new items of furniture for their home. Sometimes people are just replacing broken items. Other times, people may be updating a look to something more modern. Sometimes people just passed by something that looked way too tempting while it was sitting there on the side of the road. No matter what the reason you may be thinking is why you should replace or add to your home furnishings, I'd like to take a moment to talk about one that people seem to never think of and that is loneliness...

Lonely Furniture

Most people don't realize that furniture has feelings too and while you may help keep them company while you sit on them or otherwise relax, you aren't always around to give the company that your upholstered friends require. That lonely armchair may need an ottoman to go with it so that is has a friend on those long nights where you are off two-timing it with your bed! Yeah, the armchair knows all about your sordid affair that goes on in the bedroom. On the other hand, your dinner table may need a couple more friends to help pass the time from meal to meal. I know what you are thinking, but six chairs are better than four. The more the merrier the dinner table always says. Last but not least, your sofa may be feeling like it will never find that special someone. And it won't. Not if you don't ever buy a love seat that compliments the couch. There is a reason they are called LOVE seats. 

In All Seriousness

As much as we would like to think our furniture is sentient, this world isn't one giant episode of Pee Wee's Playhouse. Actually, thinking about that really makes the notion of living furniture kind of creepy. Anyway, if you are looking to purchase new furniture for any reason and you live around the Clovis, NM or Lubbock, TX areas, we invite you to check out House of Furniture and see what we have to offer.

In Need Of A New Mattress?



There are few things as miserable as a bad nights sleep. All the tossing and turning and the up and down. It is miserable. It's even worse when you have a long work day ahead of you and you are unable to sleep. The problem could very well be your mattress. Many people do not realize that your mattress is vital to a good night’s sleep. Oftentimes we use a mattress for years over the recommended time, mostly because we don’t want to break down and buy a new one, but this is a terrible habit. It is not good for our bodies to sleep on a mattress that no longer offers the support our bodies need. This can lead not only to sleepless nights but also backaches, headaches, sciatica, and irritability. All of these could be side effects of sleeping on a bad mattress.

Other Reasons You May Need A New Mattress

Overusing your mattress is one reason to get a new one, but another reason could be that you just bought one that does not offer the support you need. For example, my husband and I purchased a memory foam mattress because when we tested it out in the store we loved it. It was the most comfortable mattress we had ever laid on, but once we got it home, we realized very quickly that we didn’t like it. My husband weight more than I do so as the night progresses he sinks further into the bed which in turn causes me to roll towards the sunken spot. For him, the bed is great because he outweighs me, but for me, it is extremely uncomfortable. It has only been recently that he is regretting the decision to buy that bed because he suffers from sciatica and that bed is too soft. Some mornings I have to actually pull him out of it. So, it is important to know if you need a firm or soft mattress before purchasing one.

A Story of the Perfect Furniture

A Story of the Perfect Furniture

Once upon a time, there was a family of three bears. The papa bear, the momma bear, and the baby bear each had their own tastes in what kind of furniture they liked. The papa bear loved an Enso PureGel mattress and but liked the soft feel of high thread count sheets and fluffy comforters. The mama bear liked her Dreamweaver memory foam mattress and really didn't care too much about the thread count of her sheets, as long as her pillows were nice and supportive. The baby bear (who really wasn't the age of a baby, he just acted like one) really didn't have much of an opinion on anything that he slept on, so long as he was close to his gaming console. 

When it came to lounging around in the living room, the papa bear loved his power recliner. He loved how he could have multiple battery packs to use and charge so that he could have his seat in the middle of the room and no cords would show. The mama bear liked her nice leather love seat, but she was perfectly happy with the fact that it was manually reclinable. These two seats were the best seats in the house for her to root for her favorite Professional Football team... The Miami Dolphins. Now the baby bear had a seat in the living room too, but he didn't use it very often because he liked his bed too much and it was the closest thing to his gaming console. 

The bears did share one piece of furniture in the house. This piece was the dining room set where they would have their favorite meals. They would sit around and talk about their day and have a nice bowl of porridge. They all loved the sturdy chairs and the beautiful wood that the set was made out of. 

However... that all changed one day when some blonde girl came in and just decide to wreck shop on all the furniture in their house.  Although, thanks to House of Furniture, they were able to find everything they needed to get back to their normal lives and it was all under one roof. They even delivered it to their home! It was a happy ending for everyone!
