Dining Room Sets and Dinettes If you are like me, you may have thought that a dinette was a smaller set of tables and chairs. After thinking this for several years, I found out that a dinette is actually a room. I have been in several in my lifetime and I actually have one in my home. A dinette is a small alcove or space, typically attached to the kitchen where you can sit and eat. A dining room is a completely separate room where people would take and eat their meals. If your house is anything like mine, the living room doubles as the dining room. While I wasn't raised this way, since I thought I didn't have a traditional dining room, I didn't think there was another option outside home renovation.  My dinette that I have in my house is really just a five or six-foot square outcropping in my kitchen. I have actually used the space to store extra kitchen gadgets like the microwave and espresso machine. Now that I understand the concept, I really think I will try to...

The Sofa Furniture in a Perfect World If we all lived in a perfect world, there would never be those accidents that happen and put that unwanted stain or wear and tear on our furniture. Sadly, since we do live in reality, we have to deal with all the wonderful mishaps that come with life. I am no stranger to messing things up and let me tell you my two daughters are really good at it, too. Throw in the cat and its shenanigans and you have a delightful recipe for disaster waiting to happen. I am always really good about using the sofa closest to my front door to stack all my stuff when I walk through the door. While I am would never get on to my kids about doing this, sometimes, life does its best to make you realize that even the most benign of actions can have disastrous consequences. One time, I left a bag from the grocery store sitting on the couch because I set it down to answer my phone as I came in the house. Not a big deal in most cases, but this time it just happened t...

Electric Range Gas Versus Electric Ranges When it comes down to brass tacks, I think that electric ranges are better than gas ones. If you love to cook using a gas oven, it is understandable, but I ask you to keep reading because you may just change your mind.  Cooking with an Electric Oven When it comes to cooking certain things, you have to stick with a recipe. While cooking can be an artistic endeavor, baking and roasting require some mathematical and formulaic practices. For instance, baking a cake requires certain ingredients. You may be able to use some artistic licensing, but in the end, you have to stick to a certain rigid formula of wet and dry ingredients. Anyone who has baked a cake that failed to rise knows that too much or too little of a certain ingredient can ruin the whole endeavor. For this reason, I like the precision of electric heat.  Electric ranges and ovens produce dry heat. Gas ovens, on the other hand, produce humid heat. When you are ...

If your oven goes out, you can either eat cold cuts, a bowl cereal, or some peanut butter and crackers until you replace it. However, the fridge going out is a totally different story. Not...

Modern Dryer What is a Washer Without a Dryer? Washers and dryers are simple machines when it comes down to the mechanical parts that operate them. As for the controls that create all the different operations, that's a different story. With me, when I was first on my own, it seemed like every few months, either the washer or the dryer would go out. It always happened to only one of them, never at the same time. For that reason, I always had a mismatched pair in my laundry room.  What Could Go Wrong with an Old Dryer This go-around, I would like to talk about dryers. There were times in my life where I was struggling to make ends meet and my dryer went out. While that is not an ideal situation, it's not the end of the world seeing as all you really need is a place to hang the wet clothes and some time. The problem was that it always seemed to catch me off guard at first. I would wake up after leaving my dryer running before I went to bed to find my clothes are sti...

One of many Washing Machines for Sale Washing Machines at a Furniture Store They say you should get 8 hours of sleep every night. If that is the case, then you are sleeping for a third of your life. The other two-thirds of your life is filled with various activities like work and other responsibilities. If you are like me, a lot of your spare time is dedicated to doing laundry for yourself and your kids. Sometimes it feels like a third of my life is spent around the washing machine swapping loads, separating colors, measuring detergent and all the other joys that come with doing loads. I have recently made the decision to pare down my wardrobe and see if I can get my daughters on board, as well. Hopefully, this idea won't cause any breakdowns with my youngest seeing as she has hoarder tendencies.  I will just have to spend some time thinking of a good way to present the idea so that it sounds like something fun to do. In the end, I am hoping that I will be able to spend more...

Clovis Furniture Store - Back to School That time is upon us and some parents may be giddy with joy and others (who may have never sent a child to school) may be apprehensive. For me, it is a bittersweet time. I am lucky enough that my line of work allows me to work from home and spend the summer with my two girls. The bitter part is that we can be around each other and do fun things all summer long and suddenly that stops as they are off to another year of school. The sweet part is that I am no longer having to mediate fights, pick up trash and clutter, and listen to kids cartoons while I try to work. Seriously, have you watched any of the shows they call kids' programming these days?!? Something about a princess this and a ladybug that... mind-numbing. All-in-all it has its ups and downs working from home.  The Spare Room In our house, we have a spare room that is slowly becoming a storage room. Technically, it is dubbed a craft room, however, it is being overtaken by ...
