Furniture Memories: Old and New  

            Over the last couple of years I have made several investments on furniture. Furniture is very important to making your house looking open and welcoming, as well as giving your house a distinct look. Every piece of furniture in the house usually has different story and that’s what makes furniture important.  

Here are the stories behind the pieces in my home. 

            In the living room, I purchased a contemporary chocolate brown sectional last year when we bought our first home. It was exactly the piece the room needed because it was a large room with high ceilings and it has a place for everyone to sit when they come around. My favorite piece in the living room is an antique white dresser. I painted this piece with an antique finish and added some flashy color knobs; it acts as a television stand and is a great conversation piece for guest.

            Walking down the hall from the living room to the bedroom is where you will find the bed I’ve had since I was a young girl. I enjoy this bed because it brings back old memories of my childhood. I spent many years watching movies, talking on the phone, and having sleepovers with my girlfriends on this bed. It also has memories of going to pick it out with my mom; it was my first transition from child twin size bed to a queen size.  

            Downstairs in the basement is my old couch. This couch has a lot of memories; it was the first piece of furniture I bought when I moved out on my own. I was so proud of the couch and keeping it spotless and clean, and now even though it’s in the basement I still try to have everyone take good care of it because it represents all the hard work I did to pay for it as my first piece of furniture.

            Investments made on furniture are hardly ever lost, and the memories they represent will last forever. Besides giving your house a welcoming look, furniture also makes your house home. I hope to one day pass down some of the pieces of furniture in my home to my children and hope they remember the memories each piece gave to them.

Bamboo Flooring – The ultimate “Green” flooring choice.  

                Interested in an eco-friendly floor covering? Bamboo flooring is a green-friendly option.  It is a great combination of beauty, sustainability, and uncompromising strength and durability. Because bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world, it is an excellent choice for an environmentally friendly floor. While there are over 1,500 types of bamboo known to man, only certain kinds of bamboo grasses are chosen for flooring. Among the types used, the Moso flooring produces maximum hardness. This type ranges in hardness from 150 psi upwards to 3200 psi depending on the construction type. Compared to oak at 1290 psi on the janka scale, this flooring is quite durable.  In fact, it is 50% more stable than Red Oak. Durability is important because certain other kinds of bamboo flooring can dent easily after installation. The traditional types of bamboo flooring are softer and less dense than the newly introduced strand Moso bamboo flooring.

                 Using tough, durable bamboo grasses instead of forest lumber helps to preserve our forests.  This environmentally friendly product is available for harvesting after it matures within 5 years. Constructing durable bamboo flooring requires harvesting mature plants.  The grass is cut from whole bamboo canes and then boiled to remove sugars and preserve the wood.  The premium strips are cut into long slim pieces, which are glued together. Eco-friendly flooring uses glues that are free of formaldehyde.  Also, they must not produce VOC’s. After 15 days of treatment and drying, a test is done to ensure that each piece has a 6-8% moisture content for optimal stability.  Look for brands that are 100% environmentally safe and free of all harmful chemical compounds.  Look for coatings that are free of halogenated hydrocarbons, heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, formaldehyde and any harmful emissions.

                Many factors must be considered when choosing a bamboo wood floor, such as types, sizes, colors, application methods, and the variety of wood floor species on today’s market. When considering a brand, look at several product lines, making comparisons as to the warranties, thickness, type of construction, finish coats, and other specifics. As with any long-term investment, there are important facts to remember in choosing a bamboo floor. One must consider affordability, easy maintenance, environmental soundness, and health considerations.

                Bamboo flooring is a long-term investment, which will add value to your home at resale. It is a lifetime product, if treated correctly. Bamboo flooring will increase in value as your home does. Wood floors are the most sought after surface flooring in remodeling and new home construction.

                Bamboo floors are easy to maintain, requiring little more than a simple sweeping and vacuuming, and protecting them from moisture and heavy wear. They are ecologically sound as they come from sustainable natural resources.  Because wood flooring does not harbor dust mites or molds, they are better for the health of individuals, especially for those who suffer from allergies.

                With many manufacturers and types of bamboo flooring, I am sure you will find the flooring that is right for your needs.

Installing Hardwood and Vinyl Flooring 101  

It is a big job to install hardwood flooring, but it is a rewarding one. It takes know-how and the proper tools to complete the project. If you are not sure of the outcome, you might consider having an installer do the job for you. If you do intend to do it yourself, here are some factors to consider.

Equipment

You will need quite a bit of equipment, and you will probably have to rent specialty equipment to install hardwood flooring for yourself. The two most important tools you will need to rent are a hardwood floor nailer and an air compressor. You will also need both a table saw and a miter saw. A well-functioning drill is essential, as are a hammer and a rubber mallet. A staple gun and a pair of pliers will help you do the job as well. Throw in a tape measure, pry bar, and utility knife, and you will be set for the installation.

Making Allowances

One thing you cannot do with hardwood flooring is start in and keep going from one end to the other without a thought. There are certain things you have to make allowances for as you go. For example, you have to leave room for the floor to expand with moisture in the coming months and years. You also need to leave enough room to allow for the fact that the room might not be square. These adjustments should small enough to be covered by your trim-board, so they will not be an eyesore. Yet, they are important to the fit and durability of your floor.

Staggering

The boards of your hardwood flooring must be staggered so that there are 6 inches from the end of one board before the beginning of any board on an adjacent row. This makes installing the hardwood planks something like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle. Follow this rule if you want an attractive floor on completion.

Nailing

Using a pneumatic nailer can be difficult if you have never done it before. Get instructions before you start to use it to put in your hardwood flooring. It is important to be careful, not only to avoid wasting hardwood planks, but also to keep yourself safe. Be sure to wear protective safety gear.

In the end, you will have to make the decision whether to install your flooring or hire a home remodeling company to do it for you. If you are confident you can do it, you will probably do well and enjoy the experience. On the other hand, a professional company can do a good job for you and save you a ton of work installing your hardwood flooring.

When trying to install wood flooring always follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions.  If you do not follow the installation instructions you may void your warranty.
