All About Aromatic Cedar

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Aromatic cedar has been used for producing indoor furniture for many years. It became extremely popular for building closets and chests around a century ago. It was used mainly for the storage of clothing, and ever since that time the argument has raged as regards whether or not the wood offers cover against clothes moths and other pests. Science has now demonstrated that certain types of cedar do indeed offer a degree of protection. It is the Eastern Red Cedar which offers this protection, mostly thanks to the odour which is given off. Maintaining the wood in good condition is essential for the effect to continue.

If you want to build your own closet to take advantage of the protection savoury cedar can offer, there are many options open to you. The most cost-effective one is by utilising wafer board panels. These will give you a quick and simple solution, and they may still have a major effect in reducing the chance to your clothing. The one downside is they will never look as cultured as the more dear options. It is totally up to you what amount of cash you wish to spend to make a better finish.

Plywood is a step up from wafer board. It’s still much less expensive than the solid panels, nevertheless it can be made to look better than the inexpensive wafer boards. The most expensive option is to use solid wood panels, and this option will give you the same classic look which the closets of the past had. When you are looking for quality and are prepared to pay for it, this will definitely be the best way to go. If the protection of your clothes is the sole criteria, you can achieve it in cheaper ways.

It is still worth thinking about building a cedar closet for the future, as this can give you the best possible degree of protection.

Benefits Of Full Size Loft Beds

But if you really look at the advantages of owning a full size loft bed, you may end up wanting to have one in your own home.

If you’re looking for models, you can choose between twin size and full size loft bed. Full size loft beds are approximately 15 inches wider than twin sizes, but the extra inches make for a more comfortable sleep because there’s more room for one person.

Customizing Your Bathroom With Repurposed Bedroom Furniture

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

While many options exist for ready-made bathroom cabinetry, you’ll find that the best looking cabinetry can be very expensive. For far less than you’d pay for custom cabinetry, you can convert repurposed bedroom furniture into distinctive bathroom pieces, add metal tree wall art and attain a high-end look.

Provincial bedroom furniture from the late 1950’s is ideal for a glamorous bathroom design. A low, wide dresser converts with ease into a double sink vanity while the ‘high boy’ offers storage space for towels and linens. There’s even a surprise use for the headboard or footboard, but first let’s talk about prepping the dresser to serve as a vanity.

You have the choice to strip the wood finish on the dresser and put on a new stain if the wood finish on the dresser is damaged. Or you can paint the dresser; in this case you may not need to totally strip it, but you will have to scrap away any damaged, cracked or curling finish and make all surfaces completely smooth; fill any gouges or scrapes with wood putty. Paint will show every flaw in the surface, so you want to make the exterior as perfect as possible before painting.

After the dresser is freshly painted or stained, use a floor grade varnish like Diamond Varathane to seal the wood. The floor grade varnish will protect the wood from inevitable bathroom moisture. You can select either a semi-gloss finish or a glossy finish. Unless you are planning to replace the top with a piece of marble or granite, apply at minimum five layers of varnish on the top and three layers of varnish on the whole dresser. Apply each coat, let it dry thoroughly, then lightly sand with fine grade steel wool; wipe away every trace of dust between coats for a smooth professional looking finish.

To make the most of the inside vanity space and to create designer look, choose vessel style sinks that sit on top of the vanity. You should modify the drawers when putting in plumbing and connecting the sinks so that no inch of space is wasted. They can be notched to accommodate plumbing; hire a local carpenter to do this work for you if you aren’t able to do it yourself.

Keep in mind that if you have a “high boy” to repurpose for the bathroom, you still need to varnish it, just as you varnished the vanity. This will stave off swelling and warping of the wood. The top space of the “high-boy” can be used to display fresh flowers or a silver tray topped with a jewelry dish and atomizers of your favorite perfumes and colognes.

Now onto the headboard or footboard: Use either piece as a basis for a mirror over the vanity; depending on the amount of wall space, one piece may be a better fit than the other. The glass mirrored panels will fit on the flat surface of the wood and the decorative molded wood edging will provide a frame. You may have to cut off the ‘legs’ so that it will fit low enough over the vanity. Stain or paint any cut edges to coordinate with the vanity, and then varnish the whole piece to protect the wood. Once it’s ready take the head or footboard to a glass shop so that they can cut and install mirrored panels to fit on the flat surfaces.

Install your mirror, bring in your fluffy new towels, decorative accessories and accents like copper wall sculptures and metal art work, and enjoy your stylish, unique bathroom.

The Many Types Of Sofa

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

When shopping for a sofa, the majority of individuals will know what colour they are looking for and most likely the type of fabric they want the sofa in, but faced with the sheer volume of choice available now and the multitude of colours, sizes, styles and fabrics that can actually be tailored to you; it might be prudent to shop for your sofa primarily based on substance. You might even feel like Goldilocks as you try out each seat to see which fits best, the combination of sturdy frame for durability and just the right cushion fillings for comfort.  Unlike Goldilocks, not everyone will find their perfect seat by the third try and to make sure that it doesn’t break on you, there are a few things for you to ‘bear’ in mind when sofa shopping.

When it comes to adding the materials, leather sofas are hardwearing and have a ‘wipeability’ factor that is useful where small children are involved, but cloth sofas, whether cotton, cord, suede or manmade synthetics, will usually provide a larger choice of pattern or colour range.  It is important therefore, to marry practicality with style. A convenient service that some manufacturers will offer is to provide replaceable covers for your sofa, which means that not only can you wash them regularly to maintain their outward appearance but also they can be changed in an instant if you’re redesigning the room in order to be in-keeping with differing colour schemes.

Companies offering custom-made furniture are so sure of their quality of manufacture and the resilient nature of their frames, that they offer guarantees of up to 10 years. Although it may seem at first counter-intuitive, it may therefore pay to spend more at first and invest more money in the perfect sofa to ensure it will last longer - and pay for itself in the long run.  The other thing to take into consideration with a custom-made sofa is that it will be perfectly tailored to your living space, which is something you may not be able to find in your usual High Street store.

The High Street however, will offer a wide selection of mid-range, reasonably priced sofas with a choice of styles in various different fabrics and designs but do check out of what hardwood the frames have been made and ask if you can choose your own cushion fillings, which could consist of feather down, foam or fibre. Although feather down is soft and extremely comfortable, in order to keep its shape it will require regular plumping. Foam is perfect for sofas which are used day in day out as it is low maintenance and practical, quickly recovering its shape after it has been used. A good compromise is fibre, which, although it still provides that wonderful sinking comfort and warmth, it will also regain its shape easily with higher grade fibres.

Extra wide or deep sofas are available for purchase to those who have particularly long legs or like to use their sofa to really stretch out on. Corner pieces and footstools can also be added to the furniture in your living room, providing an even higher level of comfort.

Whatever it is you are looking for, the one thing we can learn from Goldilocks, is try before you buy.  So order up those samples online or get in-store and find your perfect sofa but ultimately, make sure what you do buy is just right.
