Buying Guide For Bedroom Furniture

Posted by admin on November 15th, 2009

Of all the hassles and nuances you go through while picking the right bedroom furniture and furnishings for your home, reaching a ’stuck-up’ situation can be the worst. It can happen when you buy furniture without looking into practical details of your home, or a particular room, the bedroom, for instance. Buying bedding set, bedroom mirrors and storage furniture like an armoires and dressers may be tricky. The kind of practical problems you face while buying furniture is different from the world of modern bedroom furniture and suites that you see on online furniture stores.

It helps to have a basic guideline in place. Here are a few tips on buying furniture that fits your home,

1. Local retailers can be a source of information to help you decide. Sometimes you may end up finding a great deal unlike retail shops that spend so much on floor space and as a result, hike up furniture prices. As online furniture stores save on this part, they get to pass on some part of the savings to customers as discounts.

2. Define your style. Each one of us has his own unique liking. If Bahamian is your style statement, you can buy furniture that fits the idea; and also combine it with other traditional and modern furniture.

3. Bed sizes
Who will sleep in the bed? What is the size of your bedroom? Take into account the number of people and the size of the person/s. Master beds are the largest, followed by King-size beds (California and standard), queen beds, full beds and twin beds. The dimensions of each size are as follows:

 California king bed: 72 inches wide x 84 inches long
 King bed: 76 inches wide x 80 inches long
 Queen bed: 60 inches wide x 80 inches long
 Full bed (or double bed): 54 inches wide x 75 inches long
 Twin bed: 39 inches wide x 75 inches long (80 inches for extra long twin beds)

4. Bed Design
The construction of a basic bed is simple. It has a headboard on one end, footboard on the other. In between is the frame whereon the mattress fits. Depending on your taste, you can opt for anything from low-slung platform beds with an Oriental touch, to regular beds with much classy color and finish options. It is good to keep in touch the kind of scheming you plan to have with your bed. Then there are futons, day beds and trundle beds that make a great combo of utility and style.

5. Bed construction
Wood is the most common material used in bed construction. The advantages are sturdiness, longevity and easy maintenance. However, other material like powder-coated steel and brass are popular for its robustness and sleek features. Depending on your lifestyle, you can choose one that suits your taste and practical needs of your home. You don’t want a bulky bed when you keep shifting places more often. Something neat and handy, which can be assembled and dissembled easily, may be the best choice. So assess your need, first.

6. Night stands
Nightstands may be a tricky thing to choose. Especially if you have a designer bed, teaming up a pair of nightstand with other furniture and the overall theme may be difficult. But you can always get suites that come with complementing nightstands, armoires, dressing tables and mirrors. If you already have a bed, then you can opt for a design that is either the same color/finish as the bed or something complementing that fits with other furniture items in your bedroom.

7. Wardrobe/ Armoire
A wardrobe or armoire is one of the most important features in the bedroom. Depending on the number of people, the armoire should be combination of functionality and space, with drawers, hanging bars and other units you desire. Classic wooden armoires are popular, so are glass and wood wardrobes that look modern. Make sure you check the door dimensions of your bedroom to make moving the armoire easy.

8. Dressers, Mirrors and Chests
Well, we all know the story of cluttered drawers and closets. If you practically estimate the kind of space you need on daily basis, you can round up on a sensible dresser with spacey drawers and a complimenting mirror. Roomy drawers also allow more air and help with the uncluttered space we all so much crave for. While chests are vertical, dressers are wide and horizontally inclined. Check the dimensions carefully, for you need space to move around the bedroom. 

9. Mattresses
Beds and mattress is an inseparable pair, both complimenting each other. There are regular mattresses and box spring mattress that require a basic construction. While others are built in a manner that needs no box springs, especially platform beds.

Bed sets or suites are also great money savers. You need not hassle over too many details. You get a matching bed, night stand and dresser together, so you won’t have to spend much time stewing and fretting over whether or not all your wood bedroom furniture will match. If your bedroom is large enough, also consider new chairs, a bookcase or two, maybe a new entertainment center.

With a new bed, you may want to add fresh bedding. Go for subtle serene shades that go with the curtains, wall paint and rest of the décor. With our huge discounts and low shipping, you can furnish your whole house without ever leaving it.

Welcome To Miami

Posted by admin on November 15th, 2009

Miami is a sub-tropical city, climatically very different from most places in the USA. The city is a cosmopolitan playground that attracts more visitors than any other US destination.

Miami appeals to holiday makers wanting warm sun, clean sandy beaches, a laid back lifestyle, sophisticated entertainment in clubs and bars and a mix of art, music and international cuisines.

Travelers visiting Miami may actually spend their time in Miami Beach, a separate municipality situated 4 miles (6 km) across Biscayne Bay from downtown Miami. The combined greater Miami area includes several ethnic neighborhoods such as Little Havana and Little Haiti.

The population of the Greater Miami Area is a 50% mix of assorted Hispanic and the diverse cultural mix is evident in Latin American languages, cuisine and music throughout the city and. Dining in Miami offers the opportunity to visit a different ethnic restaurant every night and enjoy diverse international cuisines.

Once upon a time, Miami attracted mostly retirees turning their backs on snowy, colder climates but nowadays it attracts the ultra-chic glitterati, cashed up yuppies, the boating and yachting fraternity and Cuban immigrants.

** Miami Vacation Attractions

Greater Miami is a great base for access to several major Florida holiday attractions. The northern tip of the Florida Keys is just off shore, the Everglades are just a short distance inland and the affluent enclaves of Palm Beach and Boca Roton are just a short distance along the coast.

The Miami Beach Promenade, aka South Beach, is a favorite spot for cyclists, skaters, joggers and skateboarders. This is the most instantly recognized beach front location in existence and the place to be seen if appearances are important.

Many of the early Miami buildings from the early 1900’s have been restored. A walking tour around the South Beach precinct is recommended to see the spectacular rejuvenation of the 1920’s buildings in the Art Deco Historic District.

Miami boasts fine museums, galleries, historic gardens, zoos, sports stadiums, spring fed natural pools and of course, the ever present golf courses. Greater Miami has lots to brag about when it comes to world class golf courses and is home to some of the most testing courses in the world.

** Miami Vacation Cruises

The busiest cruise ship center of any city in the USA is the Port of Miami with holiday cruises to the Caribbean and Latin America making up the bulk of these cruises, but there are also cruises to all parts of the world.

Cruises are usually well equipped for gambling and casinos open as soon as the ship passes into international waters. Non stop food, games, movies and onboard activities ensure guests are always entertained and well fed.

** Miami Hotels & Resorts

Miami visitors are offered a range of hotels, resorts and vacation rentals to satisfy all tastes and budgets. There’s accommodation and prices to suit everyone, ranging from the restored boutique hotels in the Art Deco and South Beach district, modern glass and chrome high rise hotels, budget hostels, beach front condos and villas, serviced apartments, inns and guesthouses… it’s your choice.

** Miami Vacation Transport

Miami International Airport is one of the major airports in the USA, and a major hub city for American Airlines. Major domestic airlines such as Delta, Northwest/KLM, United and US Airways and Continental all servive Miami as well as several economy carriers.

There are two Amtrak trains that run daily from New York down to Miami and the travel time is approximately 27 hours.

The Metro-Dade Transit Agency runs two Miami rail systems, one being Metrorail which is a modern elevated commuter train that connects downtown Miami and the southern suburbs. Metromover is an elevated line looping the downtown precinct and connecting with many of the important attractions, shopping and business districts.

Tri Rail is the south Florida commuter train service that connects Miami with North Palm Beach and all centers in between.

How To Go ‘Glamping’ That’s Glamorous Camping

Posted by admin on November 15th, 2009

1. What on earth is ‘glamping’?

It’s out with the leaking tents, sodden sleeping bags, tins of spam and baked beans and in with the cashmere socks, designer tents, bunting and furniture from home. The ‘glamping’ cognoscenti sew their own tents in pretty fabric to be unique at festivals – see this Laura Ashley print tent. This ‘glamping’ revolution will affect all corners of the country from Cornwall to South West Scotland as illustrated by ‘Britain’s busiest summer’, a new three-part BBC1 series, produced by Nic Blower, investigating how the recession will prompt millions of Brits to stay at home.

2. Why 2009 has gone ‘glamping’ crazy

In this global recession, millions of people are forgoing the luxuries of air travel and hotels. Fuel prices, carbon footprint and a fear of pandemic disease is keeping more Brits at home. The Camping and Caravaning Club forecast one of their busiest summers on record. Forget plain aluminium flasks; stay hydrated with this pretty blue cherry blossom decorative blue flask from Dotcomgiftshop.

3. Sienna and Kate make camping mainstream

‘There is this obsession with celebrity culture over here, and I think that’s why the whole ‘glamping’ thing has taken off.’ Says Jonathan Night, author of Cool Camping, ‘Staying in a posh tent in Glastonbury once a year doesn’t mean you’re an avid camper but what’s good about that is that people go, ‘Oh right, Kate Moss goes camping, so if she can do it, then I can try it too. ‘Don’t drown in mud, do festivals in style with this Cath Kidston floral teepee…

4. Golden ticket to ‘glamping’ glory

Up the ante with the ‘glamping’ crew by packing this gold plated Juwel vacuum flask thermal jug from Corvus. It will keep drinks cooler or hotter for longer – but most importantly, it just oozes glamour.

5. Giant dominoes round the fire

‘Glamping’ requires a sophisticated kind of campfire game – something like this uber smart set of giant dominoes in navy and cream leather by royal carpenter David Linley. They’re a little on the pricy side but remember, by forgoing your exotic holiday, the bank balance will be healthier…

6. Plastic must be jewel-coloured

Interior designer Danielle Proud, who is dubbed the sexy blonde Nigella Lawson of homemaking, recommends jewel-coloured plastic glass for the campsite. Although truly dedicated ‘glampers’ only eat with silver cutlery, we’re rather bowled over by this retro?style plastic cutlery from Graham and Green.

7. Back to nature with a sheepskin rug

No self-respecting ‘glamper’ would venture from home without a sheepskin rug to keep their teepee or bell tent cosy and homely. Proud recommends sheepskin rugs from John Lewis which are available in many colours including this pretty lavender.

8. Snug as a silk bug

Clever ‘glampers’ pack their silk sleeping bag liner – the camping equal to Egyptian cotton. Everyone raves about the silk sleeping bag company which sells funky sleeping bag liners. Founder Annabel Kilner says, ‘I’m enjoying a bumper year because people are downgrading the types of places they stay in. More people are trying hostels, B&Bs and camping but still want useful bit of luxury like my silk liners.’

9. Inflatable fun brings kitsch to the field

The inflatable aerobed guarantee a good night’s sleep in the great outdoors. But, for the ultimate in bringing silly glamour outside, there is a craze for this blue inflatable sofa from Argos.

10. Paper cups become campsite cool

Don’t think of paper plates and cups as tacky. A little bit of glamour can go a long way: entertain in style with Mediterraneo paper cup holder from Made in Design.
