Questions To Ask When Buying Bedroom Furniture READ HERE

This is a sponsored post...

Shopping for bedroom furniture can be a very big undertaking. There are big decisions that you will need to make. There is also a chance that you will be spending a considerable amount of money. You need to be sure that you always take your bedroom furniture shopping seriously. After all, you will be seeing and using this furniture every day for many years to come. You do not want to make hasty decisions that you will end up regretting later. Here are several essential questions to ask when buying bedroom furniture.

1. What should your furniture be made out of?

You may have a specific material in mind for your bedroom furniture to be made out of. If this is the case, you will need to find a store that sells what you are looking for. Keep in mind that certain types of wood require more maintenance that other types of materials. You should always consider the amount of work you are going to need to do in order to keep your bedroom furniture looking great. Some materials are also very easy to scratch, gouge and otherwise damage. Therefore, you may not want to allow pets or small children near them.

2. Is there a particular brand that you prefer?

You may be a fan of a certain brand like Paula Deen furniture. It is important to understand that not all furniture stores will be able to get every brand of furniture. Therefore, a little searching on your part might be required. However, it will be worthwhile if you are able to obtain the exact brand that you are looking for. It may be necessary for you to order your furniture directly from the manufacturer if no store in your area sells it. 

3. Delivery price

Bedroom furniture is often very large. In many cases, you will need to have it delivered to your home for you. Delivery prices for furniture can often be very high. This is why you will need to shop around to make sure you do not get taken advantage of. The store that sells you the furniture may not offer the lowest price. Make some calls and get some quotes from other furniture delivery places in your area. You have nothing to lose and quite a bit to gain by taking the time to do this. You might be surprised by how much money you can save.

Home Maitenance Checks You Need To Complete Each Year READ THIS INFORMATION

Do you ever thinking about maintaining your home? It’s easy to forget without attention from us our homes can fall into a state of disrepair. When this happens, you will be losing value on your home. That’s going to be a problem when you think about selling it in the future. It also might affect your quality of life and your children’s welfare if you allow your home to fall into a poor state. Luckily, we have the answer. By completing a few checks on your home each year, you’ll be able to make sure that it stays in good condition. Let’s look at some of the checks that we’re talking about.

Roof Inspection

Every so often, you should inspect your roof for any signs of damage or holes in the slating. A hole in the roof is typically caused by bad weather. Something might hit the roof or your roof might even have been struck by lightning. When this occurs, it can damage the structure. You might think that a hole in the roof isn’t that big of a deal. But a hole in the roof can mean a leak. That leak will land on the floor of your attic. The damp could then spread onto the ceiling of your upstairs rooms. Before long it’s an expensive and time consuming problem that needs to be fixed. As well as this a hole in the roof can allow animals to get into your home. They can cause all kinds of havoc.

Fire Alarms

Your fire alarms should be checked regularly through the year too. You might think that if there’s a fire in your home, the smell of smoke or the heat will wake you up. But this isn’t always true. In fact, there have been cases where a fire has spread into the bedroom before the victim has woken up. At that point, it’s almost always too late. If you want to protect your family, you must ensure that your fire alarm is working and completely functional. Without it, you could be leaving your children’s lives in danger.

Boiler Inspection

It’s always terrible when your boiler gives up. But if it happens in the summer you can probably get by for a few weeks or days without it. If it occurs in the middle of winter, we wish you luck. You’ll be facing high levels of demand with numerous people trying to get their boilers fixed at the same time. That’s why it’s best to always know the state of your boiler. Getting it checked out through the year will let you know if there’s any problems or issues with the system. Perth Metro Plumbing & Gas as well as other similar companies provide checks on water heating systems.

Appliances In The Home

You may also want to get your appliances checked in the home on a regular basis, particularly if you have young children. If you have young children, electrical appliances can be dangerous. Particularly if they have fallen into a state of disrepair. Loose wires can cause electrical shocks and serious injuries. You must be aware of this danger and make sure it is not present in your home.

Using Photography Services READ HERE

Finding the Best Photography Service

You can find photos of just about anything online these days. It is one of the greatest advantages of the Internet. You may find yourself in a situation where you need to find some photos of a specific person, place or event. You want to put the photos on your website or use them for some other promotional purpose. You will then need to find a photography service that offers the photos you are looking for. You can then pay a fee to have the temporary or permanent right to display the photos. Here are some helpful hints that can be used to go about finding the best photography service.

1. What photos are in their inventory?

Ideally, you only want to deal with a photo service that has a vast inventory of photos. You want this inventory to include photos from many different time periods. A wide variety of subjects and places should also be represented. This will allow you to get all of the photos you need without having to waste time surfing the Internet. Photo services with large inventories are sometimes hard to find. This is because many of these companies only specialize in specific types of photos. You will need to be patient when you are looking for the right photo service to use.

2. How long will you have the rights to the photo?

The length of time that you will have the right to display the photo will depend on the photo service that you are dealing with. You need to be totally certain how long your rights to the photo will be. You may need to use the photo in an ad campaign for a specific period of time. If this is the case, be certain that your rights to the photo do not expire before your ad campaign is finished.

3. Are your favorite photographers represented?

You might be looking for photos that were taken by specific people. For example, you might be interested in purchasing some Ansel Adams photography. You will need to see which photographers are featured on that particular website. Certain photographers have their work very tightly controlled. Because of this, their work will be harder to find than some of the other notable people. Finding the photos of certain obscure photographers might take you a lot of time. However, you will probably find what you are looking for if you are patient.

Cranbrook Academy of Art tour READ NOW

Cranbrook Academy was the brainchild of philanthropist (and newspaper man) George Booth. Sited on his property in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, in the suburbs of Detroit the 319 acre lot has been filled over the years with an art academy, a boys school, a girls school, art laboratories, a world class science and history museum, as well as an art museum.

Booth brought on renowned Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen to help him not only develop the campus architecturally but the mission of the multi-faceted academy with a seemingly endless budget. See my previous tour of Saarinen's house on campus HERE.

Sculptures by Carl Milles dot the lush gardens and many water features. Milles had moved from Sweden in 1931 to be sculptor-in-residence at Cranbrook and remained until returning to Sweden in 1951.

The campus came at an intriguing time in architectural history. It started as rather arts and crafts in the 1920s, played with Art Deco in the 30s, and the later buildings from the 40s and 50s are a precursor of the International movement.

Artists are still in residence in the Saarinen properties.

Fragments of antique sculpture are embedded into the brickwork on the older buildings.

The different areas of the campus each have defined portals or gateways like this arch into the boys and girls schools (a middle school run by Episcopal diocese).  The inscription wisely reads "A life without beauty is only half lived".

No 2 details are alike.  Have you seen such interesting Ionic capitals before; the art-deco influence at work.

Notice that each bracketed capital is completely different!

I loved this cloistered garden off the infirmary.

The ironwork found throughout the campus on multiple gates and fences are incredible.

While there are many disparate styles and ages to the buildings they all work together.

Around each corner is a surprise: a sculpture or fountain.

The Boys and Girl's campus have this lovely stone pergola.  Imagine it with roses or wisteria!

As you can see in my snapshots we had unusual weather ranging between hail, flurries, and sunshine.

The tower seen above was really intriguing and could be seen throughout the campus but I don't know what purpose it served.

The building on the right which looks like a chapel had these intriguing paneled stone entries.

Another beautiful sculpture and water feature.

Many of the buildings are connected with covered walkways. This one was intriguing with little domes inserted into the poured concrete surface.

More amazing ironwork.  Everything was done on site by artisans living on campus.

These doors led to what appeared to be a chapel but is actually the dining hall. Check out those lamp posts!

Place of worship of food.

This shot above sort of connects all of the previous pictures of the kid's campus area so you can get a sense of how they relate to one another.

Another 'entrance' from what was originally intended to be the public entrance (but was never used) is this lovely telescoping arched breezeway which leads to the arts academy.

The telescoping of the breezeway makes it look much deeper than it actually is by forcing the perspective. The brickwork is really lovely, a sort of herringbone ceiling pattern.

And like I said the details are everywhere.  A pair of centaurs led down to somewhat forgotten water garden.

These were intended to be the main gates at the public entrance leading to the museums but proved too difficult to monitor people coming and going off campus.

This 2nd century roman capital lies in a courtyard where Ray and Charles Eames had their workshop designing much of their famous furniture we all enjoy today.

The art museum was hosting a graduate exhibit with some really interesting projects. I was all eyes for the architecture however and loved these travertine stairs -notice the integrated handrail detail.

I did love this student project.  The tent was painted with scenes of the forest and a speaker played sounds of crickets.

Another project by an architecture student was an outdoor pavilion with intriguing plays of light and color through a skylight playing on sheer curtains.

Another great detail in the basement of the art museum was this curved metal barn door; not from Saarinen I don't believe but a modern addition.

Antique stained glass in the lobby had wonderful views of the garden.

The site is constantly changing.  It's a living, breathing arts campus and not stuck in time.  Buildings have modern but sympathetic additions and modern sculpture dots the landscape along with the original artwork.

This addition behind the museum was particularly successful I thought in being of today but melding nicely with the old.

And not to fear, the modern buildings also have thoughtful details like this rainchain instead of a downspout.  Notice the lovely patinated copper gutter.
If you're ever in the Detroit area I highly recommend a visit to the Cranbrook  Academy of Art, you won't regret it!
