In my house, I have an atrium and a sunroom. I like to have a small patio set in the atrium, and a larger table and chair set in the sunroom.
The patio set consists of a small round table (approximately 4′ in diameter) made of a dark walnut wood, as well as two matching chairs.
The set in the sunroom consists of a teak rectangular table (approximately 6′x8′) surrounded by six matching chairs. Both sets are similar to what can be found at IKEA, but higher quality.
These have been durable throughout years and years of abuse from rain, sun, and children. These sets are constantly getting compliments, as they are fitting for the Californian coastal living vibe that is emulated from my interior decorations.
To make my decorations seasonal, I tend to choose colors that agree with the seasons.
For example, in the springtime, I put out flowers that are bright and colorful. During the summer, I put out bright whites to bring a relaxed, summer feel. For autumn, I accent with natural golds, reds, and oranges. Read more »
Does Bigger Mean Better? I still have the same bedroom set that was purchased almost 20 years ago when we moved to a new home.
My husband and I looked at many bedroom sets and we finally settled on a beautiful cherry wood bedroom set.
It consisted of a queen sized bed with a finely detailed head board, a highboy and a six foot long, ten drawer bureau with a huge mirror to compliment it.
Now, my husband had always loved oversize furniture and this certainly was the case. Arrangements were made for the furniture movers to come several days later and I didn’t envy their job because it was going up on the second floor.
The stairs leading up there were pretty steep and the hallway was quite narrow, so when you got to the top it was going to be quite a chore to turn the bureau and get it into the bedroom, but they did it easier than I thought was going to be possible.
However, we got hit with a problem I never thought of. They went to bring the box spring up the stairs and it just wasn’t going to go. You see, at the base of the stairs the ceiling came down. It wasn’t too much taller than I was. Read more »
To review about my bedroom furniture, its of good length and width as I don’t know the exact dimensions.
A double coated bed is placed in the bedroom and near to the bed is kept a small table for keeping small alarm clock, table lamps etc.
Such that in case of urgency at night, need not run from the bed in search of switching on the light.
Here also plenty of cupboards are made and attached to the wall. Mirrors are also attatched to the cupboard.
The double coated bed is also made of teak and also the cupboards are built by using it. The tiling used inside the bedroom is of marble which is almost grey in color.
In the bedroom make sure that not more than one window is necessary. Bedroom means its private room, so not much access should be there.
Please make sure that this window is located such that sunlight as well as fresh air enters through it. A bathroom can be attached to the bedroom that depends upon the wish of the owner. Read more »
To tell about my dining room furniture, an eight seated dining table is kept at the centre of the room such that while serving food, the one who serves food can have access to all the members around the table.
The dining table is made of teak and also the chairs. The chairs are provided cushions made of good quality sponge so that the guests are seated properly and the feel pleasant.
The dining room has cupboards attached to the walls as well as a single cupboard. In these cupboards the plates, glasses, cups, saucers etc are placed neatly.
These cupboards are also made of teak. On the dining table a jug of water will be kept daily such that in case of emergencies, there is no need to go under a tap to get water or even if to get rid of the thirst, you can have it.
The visitors coming to home can also have a glass of water as glasses are also kept along with jug. Read more »
My dining room set is a plain, unfinished pine (or at least, pine look alike) table and 4 chairs from IKEA.
They were chosen because of the low price of $40 for the table and $20 for the chairs except for the fact that I got 2 of the chairs from the as is section for a reduced price).
I like them because I can refurnish them, paint them or varnish them to change the look or simply cover with a table cloth to add some color.
If I was working on the same budget I would choose the same dining set again- the keep me and my food off the floor and they didn’t cost and arm and a leg.
If I was working with a higher budget I might choose something a bit nicer looking, something that will last for a long time and possibly be able to be resold or passed down to future generations to keep things out of the landfill. Read more »
After finally completing our screened porch, we began the great and nearly endless search for the perfect patio lounge furniture.
Like Goldilocks, either everything we found was ‘too cold’ or ‘too hard’. It was ‘too modern’ or ‘too old fashioned’ – nothing was right.
Finally, after nearly 6 months of shopping we found it. We found a set of cushioned teak lounges that fit the space on our perfectly. They were incredibly comfortable – so much so that more often than not – our reading sessions turned into light, but blissful naps.
Now we spend our evenings and weekends looking out over my wives lovely garden. A hummingbird feeder placed in front of our lounge chairs brings a few remarkable moments each day.
They are remarkable creatures – hovering, suspended over the bright red petals of the feeder. The porch, the lounges, the garden – are so peaceful, we find ourselves travelling less.
Why go anywhere else, when we can have such comfort at home. But it did come so easy. Read more »
In the master bedroom, we have a king size bed, two dressers, a TV stand, and a night stand.
The bed is a plain box spring with a mattress. We have a Ralph Lauren bedding set with a matching bed skirt and decorative pillows.
The colors in the bed set are green and tan, they match well with our other furniture. The dressers are old and battered, we have moved them through four states and used them quite a bit.
One is a wide three drawer unit and the other is a tall four drawer unit.
They are both brown and in fair condition. My favorite piece of furniture in our bedroom is the nightstand. Read more »
My daughter’s room is furnished with wood furniture. It is not a set, but it all goes together pretty well.
Her crib is from Child craft and her dresser is from Sauder, but the rest of her furniture is either handmade or antique.
We were very lucky that we didn’t have to buy much of her furniture, only the dresser and a few accent pieces. Family gave us the rest of her furniture.
The crib came from my sister-in-law. She used it for both of her boys and had taken excellent care of it.
My Dad made the changing table and drove it up from Houston in pieces. He put it together while he and my Mom were staying at our house after the baby was born. They had two days after they got here and before I came home from the hospital.
The rocking chair in my daughter’s room is the same one my Dad used when I was a baby. My husband and I had it refinished to match the rest of the furniture.
The funny part of that is that we could have bought two brand new rockers for what we paid to have the old one refinished. Read more »
Am going to write here about my bathroom furniture.
My house consists of two bathrooms and two toilets i.e: two in down floor and two on first floor.
Bathroom furniture consists of wash basins, bath tubs, shower sets, mirrors. They are of the special brand ‘HINDWARE’. I chose these furniture because this company provides furniture with guarantee, costly and also well finished products.
My bathroom is covered with granite tilings. So they look much beautiful. And the color of the granites match with the color of the bathroom furniture as well.
If am able to furnish my bathroom again, no doubt I will chose the same type of bathroom, but may change my color of tilings and bathroom furniture.
My bathroom is bigger than compared to usual bathrooms.
There is enough space to move around inside the bathroom. Straight from the entrance goes to the wash basin with a mirror attached to the wall.
So we can complete half of the morning activities in it, i.e:- brushing teeth, shaving etc.
To the left of the wash basin at a certain distance from it, is placed the bath tub. A shower curtain is provided near the bathroom such that while taking bath, water wont spill near the areas of wash basin. Shower sets are also provided for bath tubs. Read more »
I have been to furniture outlets for rooms to go, in Florida.
I did not buy any furniture at the outlet because the prices were not much better than regular stores.
I also did some research on furniture from outlets and
I found that the only price break you get is in discontinued furniture, or with slight damages.
