The weather is finally starting to warm up in Tampa, thank goodness.  We were in

Louisiana last week and man was it cold.  My Mom kept the house nice and toasty thought with the gas space heaters she has in the house.  She does not have central heat but she has those wall heaters in the living room and down the hall and a space heater in the bathroom so when you go take a bath it is all warm and nice in there.  I was set my towel close to the heater so when I went to dry off my towel was warm, I felt like I was at a spa.  She also has an outdoor kitchen that she has a heater in so you are warm no matter where you go.

I was looking at a house a friend of mine sent me and it was one of those really old houses that had things like a lazy butler. I think that is what they are called. The little elevators you put the trays of food in to send it to the second floor. I also had a stair lift and a laundry shoot. Now those are cool. No need to carry basked down stairs anymore just throw it in the shoot and it does downstairs to the laundry room for you. I always thought that those were pretty neat.

We love our home theater seating.  We had just a regular sofa before we got this one and I don’t see how we ever lived without it.  We have 4 seats on ours.  There are single seats at each end and a double in the middle, each with its own cup holder which is very nice.  One thing about theater seating I do not think people realize is that it does not need any clearance from the wall.  You can push it right up against the wall and they still recline.  The fact that it is leather is also nice because when someone spills something you just wipe it up.  With upholstered furniture the dust mites in there alone make me shiver.  You may think you need a basement or a separate room to convert into a theater to have this seating.  Not true we have ours in the living room and with the leather and the classic design it makes it an inviting space to be in.

We are looking for new home lighting for the common bathroom.  The lighting is very dim in there right now.  I have no clue how old the light fixture is that is in there now.  We have a lot of family coming in for Christmas and we want everything to be perfect.  Lighting Showplace allows us to shop by room and by finish, that way I don’t have to look through all of the gold finishes when we know we want silver.

You always save money by doing it yourself but some people are intimidated. With DiscountFlooring.com you don’t have to be.
