Summer’s Almost Here – Get Planting!

Summer’s almost here, Spring’s warming up so if you haven’t started prepping your garden yet, hop to it! If you’re looking for planters, I just came across Planterixchange (Planter Exchange) which offers a wide selection of high quality residential (and commercial) planters that you can buy directly online. I’m not so big on having an indoor planter, but for the outdoors, my front garden has to look good … throughout the summer.

Through Planter Exchange, I got a few outdoor planters and window box planters. The window box planters were mounted on our deck (yep, you can get an optional deck rail kit, depending on your type selection). The outdoor ones were the really cool square/box-type that fit perfectly at each side of the entrance to our front porch. Now to get my flowers going!

Moving This Year?

Are you on the hunt for a good moving company aka Budget van lines? My sister-in-law recently moved from North Carolina to Tennessee, and used a wicked cool website – zmoving.com – to find the best-cost of all the moving companies in her area of North Carolina. Through them, you can get a moving quote from any or all of the moving companies in your area, thus saving you lots of time, research and effort.

They offer extensive town-by-town, city-by-city and state-by-state listings of budget van lines and you can submit directly online to get multiple moving quotes from qualified movers in your area. 11.9 percent (or 35.2 million) Americans moved to a new home in 2008. If you’re on the move in 2009, you’ll know that every buck counts, so get some cost-effective quotes before you make the move – get a moving quote today!

What New Furniture For The Summer?

Earlier this year, I came across Concept Furniture and basically went wild because I was redesigning our living room, but we don’t live in a big city so the living room furniture options at our local furniture stores were just not at all enticing. Through Concept Furniture, I got some cool / modern living room furniture options, and while I was at it I also bought a few items from their bedroom furniture collection as well.

But now I’m in redesign and decorate mode once again, and wondering what I should improve for the upcoming Summer. Should I re-do the kitchen completely? Or, should I be focusing instead on our deck / barbecue area? Decisions, decisions, decisions, I’ll make up my mind (after consulting with Hubby of course) by next week, but for now I’m going to do another post in a minute that talks about makeup – specifically about natural hues being ‘IN’ for Summer 2009. Check it out in a sec.

Beautiful Residential Mailboxes

Earlier this year, we had an old derelict-looking mailbox on our door which we’d had for maybe the last 15 years or so. I had it changed to a new mailbox that I got the Mailbox Exchange.

Stainless Steel Is The Way To Go

As always, I’m spending Hubby’s money and making our home fresh, cool, comfortable and modern. One of the things I’ve always wanted to do is switch out as many items as possible in our house to stainless steel products – from wall hooks, to fireplace accessories to dining items and of course our cooking items. I just found myself in heaven at the Stainless Steel Store. All their products are made with Blomus, including Blomus stainless steel fireplace accessories, Blomus stainless steel mailboxes and more.

Blomus is the brand name launched in 2001 for contemporary stainless-steel products by SKS-Design, a family-owned German design company now run by the family’s fifth generation. It is top of the line. If you’re looking for the best quality stainless steel products covering all areas – outdoors, kitchen, office, cooking, dining, decorating and more – be sure to check out the Stainless Steel store online.
