Update your Furniture with New Fabrics
If your furniture is starting to look old and dingy, perhaps it’s time to try giving it a makeover with some new upholstery fabric. Overtime, fabric can start to fade or get damaged. Instead of buying all new furniture, reupholstering furniture can save time and lots of money. Whether for indoor or outdoor patio furniture, there are many options to make your furniture new and beautiful again.
Outdoor patio furniture upholstery fabrics have come a long way. They are now made with UV blockers that help keep out the suns rays and greatly reduce fading. The materials used are also naturally stain resistant. Another great thing about patio fabrics is they do not promote the growth of mold and mildew, an often common problem with outdoor patio furniture fabrics. Simple cleaning with soap and water will keep outdoor patio furniture fabric clean. Continue reading
Eiderdown, For a Princely Sum You Can Sleep Like Royalty
Unlike goose down where there are tons available in the world, there are only a few thousand pounds of Eiderdown produced each year. This wild bird from far northern regions like Iceland, Canada and Scotland lines the nest with the down, the soft undercoating from the breast. When the nest has been abandoned the down is harvested and cleaned. Eiderdown today comes from farms where the birds are protected. Due to recent popularity of Eiderdown, it is in short supply and so the price has increased significantly.
The Eider duck lives in a very cold climate and so the down clusters have powerful thermal properties. An Eiderdown comforter is super lightweight yet can keep you toasty warm in winter, with the windows open. It is also cool and comfortable in summer. The ultra breathable Swiss cotton batiste is woven especially for Eiderdown and is incredibly light and silky soft. An Eiderdown pillow is soft, but medium can be achieved by using an inner core of premium goose down, or you can use all Eiderdown, but this will be quite an expensive pillow. Continue reading

The Wonders of Being Warm on Your Feet
Living up in the mountains, or other cold climates, can really be a lot of fun. On the perfect snow day there is always something to do, and surrounding environments are always a beautiful spectacle to behold. The flipside to great days such as these are the cold and stormy ones where one is forced to stay indoors. Technology has come a long way, both in clothing and heating, to help us match the temperatures of our surrounding environments. However, some things, like floors, can still keep the cold with them; even when the heater is on. Therefore it is a good idea to invest in heated tile flooring.
Tile floors, wood floors, and anything else really, other than carpet, have the tendency to take in the cold and trap it where it lies. This will keep one’s feet cold while the rest of their house is heated. It might not seem like a big deal, but the majority of heat coming off the human body is in fact from the feet. Having cold feet could give one the chills making them more susceptible to virus and other bacteria in the air. Having warm floors will instead decrease this possibility by keeping your feet and house warm. Continue reading
