I surprised my sister Jen with a new dining room set for her last birthday, then Jen was so blown away by my gift that she is still thanking me for it. I decided to purchase the dining room set for Jen because her old sofa was worn out, not to mention that the wooden furniture was really dated. Jen had wooden chairs that she had bought from a garage sale, and I suppose Jen received the root beer table from one of her friends. Jen got her sofas from my parents over 5 years ago when they decided to upgrade their space. Well, needless to say, no 2 things matched in her home, everything had its own story and character. And the sofa was quite literally falling apart and needed to go. My parents had the sofa in their loft for almost 15 years, so it was quite old. Most sofas will last for about 20 years, and you’ll know that it’s time to discard them. If the cushions are flat and they no longer give any support, the cushion fabric is worn or ripped in arenas, or the structure of the sofa is weak, then it’s high time to upgrade the sofa with a new one. I didn’t purchase any kind of high-end furniture for Jen instead, I decided to get Jen something that was contemporary and new that would labor better for her 2-dining room condo. I suppose that the contemporary look worked out well and to be honest, any other furniture could have worked for her household because the seasoned stuff needed to go. All in all, Jen enjoyed the thoughtful gift that I got him for her birthday.
I want a traditional loft makeover
6 years ago, I needed some fresh interior design ideas for my home.
I wanted to do a full makeover of my dining room and my dining room; My sofas were very old, and I had outgrown my root beer table and my dining room just needed a major upgrade.
After spending some time at a rustic hillside cabin, I decided that I would care about incorporating some of the design ideas into my home. I wanted to transform my dining room and dining room into places that had a rustic meets traditional vibe. I care about natural wood finishes, exposed beams, wood paneling, and natural looking decor, although I also care about traditional stainless steel appliances and new sofas with spicy accents. The rustic meets traditional type invites the best of both worlds into my home. These rustic elements would be the standout and conversational parts of the rooms. The more traditional elements will make the spaces feel new however not too overwhelming. I care about mixing the 2 styles because why settle for just one look. Mixing unusual styles allows unusual textures to shine in a new way. Anyway, I need some interior design help to undoubtedly bring all my ideas to life and luckily, I was attached to a wonderful interior designer who specializes in rustic styles. After a couple of consultations, I got some of the best interior design ideas. I fell for the idea so hard that I wound up hiring the interior designer to execute the entire project. It cost a bit more than what I predicted, however the end results are incredible, and I am thrilled that I decided to go with the rustic meets traditional vibes .
What is the average lifespan for a sofa?
I’ve had my sofa for almost 12 years now, and I undoubtedly care about it. The sofa is a dark brown, partial leather couch that is charming and so comfortable… I also have an oversized leather chair that is my single fave piece of furniture in my house. The oversized leather chair wasn’t part of the original sofa set, however it matched so well that I decided that I had to get it as well; At the time I bought the dining room sofas and chair, I was at the beginning of my project. In fact, aside from my car, the sofas and chair were the first major purchase that I made in my adult life after I was on the road to financial security; Well, over the last 10 or so years, the oversized leather chair has really lost its luster; Sadly, I used it so much that the leather has cracks in it! Over the years, I tried to repair the leather sofa by using leather repair products that I found on the internet, then some of them worked a little bit, however most of them were a disaster. I should’ve contacted a reupholstering repair shop and had them perform the work. But, I didn’t, and now the chair is beyond repair. This means that I will need to get rid of it soon, and fortunately, my sofas are still in terrific condition. There is little wear and tear, and the leather portion has no cracks nor shows much sign of deterioration. Typically, sofas last for 7 to 20 years and with nice care, I suppose that I will have my sofas for another 10 years. I just hope that I can find a new oversized leather chair that matches my sofas.
Dryer vent cleaning is too hard for me to do
My dryer is such a mess.
The way it is vented makes for a difficult cleaning process.
I need to take apart my daughters closest to access a portion of it. Also, to get the exterior vent on the side of the house, I need to hang out the bathroom window with a broom. Needless to say, I don’t do a very good job. I am constantly worried about the system overheating and causing a fire. I finally decided that I needed a professional to do my dryer vent cleaning. They had lifts and tools to take care of it. The dryer vent cleaning service was so easy and quite cheap. They just came in, got on a lift to access the vent and cleaned it right up. They didn’t even need to get into my daughter’s closet. The dryer works so much better now. I think I am going to do a dryer vent cleaning maintenance plan. I want them to come in two times a year to do the service. Yes, it is something I can technically do. I can’t do it safely or as well. I also hate doing the job. Having a professional clean it just makes me feel much more relaxed. Also, it makes sense to hire out something. Professional cleaners just do it better. I can’t be expected to clean to the same level with a broom and sometimes duct tape stuck to the end. I also hate tipping out of the bathroom window. I am really afraid of falling out of my head one of these days.
It shocked me to see a portable shower container.
Not only did I have my husband and our youngest son with me, but there weren’t just restrooms, but a portable shower container to keep me clean
We had been to the same campground every year for the last fifteen years. We spent several weeks in that campground when our kids were little, but they were grown now. We always parked in the same area because it was close to the restrooms. The only thing I didn’t like about the campground was that we didn’t have showers or a lot of privacy. We pulled into the campground this year, and it shocked me to see a portable shower container. There were three portable shower containers in the center of the campground, and I had to investigate. My husband told me we should wait until we got unpacked, but I was curious. I told him it would only take a few minutes, kissed on the cheek and left to investigate. I knocked to make sure no one was inside, then slowly opened the door. There was a toilet right inside the door, and the door locked. Next to the toilet was a shower curtain. It was a small shower behind the curtain, but it was good enough for one person to get clean. I knew this time I was going to enjoy my camping trip more than I ever had before. Not only did I have my husband and our youngest son with me, but there weren’t just restrooms, but a portable shower container to keep me clean. I wouldn’t need to go to bed smelling of smoke and dead fish. Later that evening, my husband told me he was going to use the restroom before going to bed. Fifteen minutes later, he came back smelling clean, and told me they were nice portable shower containers.
