Luxury patio furniture for this summer

Last year while putting away the things that I didn’t want outside during the winter, I decided to look at luxury patio furniture and find a set that I liked. I have even saved up some money to buy myself and my family comfortable chairs and perhaps benches to kick back on and also a big patio table with room enough for my whole brood and the grand kids, neighbors and friends. I even thought about maybe buying two sets, depending on if I could get a good deal and they weren’t really that expensive, yet they had class.

As everyone knows, I like to look on the internet to get ideas, prices and deals on things that I want to buy for my yard or home. I always consider items like this sort of home improvements. I found a place that sells luxury outdoor patio furniture, and has been in the business of furniture and accessories for about 35 years. They carry some really beautiful furniture and also besides being in business for so long, it is family owned and has that family type of atmosphere. This is something I like when I am looking for a place to shop.

I’m really looking forward to getting this furniture. I keep thinking about the kids having friends over and enough places to sit and eat, or just talk and hang out. Also I’m looking for some other patio furniture to go around the pool. If I can find something suitable for that space, I’d absolutely buy them. And of course because of the changeable weather here, I’d need the furniture and accessories to be sturdy and well built. The site I found seems like it is indeed going to fit all my wants and needs for this new home improvement. Looking for these kinds of items makes me want summer to get here even faster now!

Laminate counters from Kitchen Magic

Since I am in the process of starting some home improvement projects for the winter months, I took a good hard look at my kitchen counters and then started looking on the internet where I found Kitchen Magic. I am quite impressed with what this company has to offer. I love the durability of laminate counters and it seems while everyone else is choosing wood, or stone at exorbitant prices, I wanted to go for not only beauty, but something that would handle the wear and tear of a regular household and be affordable.

With laminate counters, there is no dangerous fumes that a sealant could be released, nor is there any worry about radon that can also be released into the air. I don’t think people think of these things while buying counter tops. To me this would be very much of a concern, since food is of course prepared on counter tops and one can never be too cautious about these things.

With Kitchen Magic counter tops, I found that I could get counters that look like real stone or wood, without any worry about ruining the surface if they were accidentally cut or something hot was put on them. I’m leaning to getting these counter tops for my kitchen and I really can’t wait to get started on my next projects!

New picnic tables and benches

Since I am on the board planning the park reconstruction here in our small town/village, I voted for new commercial picnic tables. The old ones are falling apart, and the wood is splintered. I firmly believe they are dangerous for families having a picnic or kids climbing on them as kids will do. The ones that are there now were just the kind that a person would buy at a hardware place, put together themselves and not treat with any kind of weather protection. The commercial picnic tables the board is looking at, are better than the run of the mill kind, and in the long run, would save all kinds of money, but not having to replace them for a long time. The upkeep or maintenance is very low also.

Since there are quite a few shade trees in the small park, that surround the play ground area, us ladies thought it would be awesome to have some park benchesto sit on, instead of having to haul our own chairs, to the park. We usually always bring blankets to spread out for the tired little ones to rest on, but having the park benches would be a great way to cut down on what we need to take our kids, or in my little tiny kids for others, just to play in the park for a few hours.

All in all, the plans for the park are going well. We are still within our budget, which makes everyone happy. What makes me happy, is that we will have safe and sturdy tables and benches in our little park and it cuts down on some of the worry about safety issues.
