10 Winter Home Maintenance Tips!

12/12/2017
Here is our latest top ten tips for winter home maintenance!
​
​There is always plenty to do this time of year so check our other blog posts for our winter tips lists from years past.
10 tips for winter home maintenance
  1. Trim trees: Remove dead branches and any branches close to, or hanging over, your home or chimney.  
  2. Clear gutters: If you didn't do it in the fall, clear gutters and downspout of all debris.
  3. Turn downspouts so they direct water away from the foundation. If you have a leaky foundation extend the downspouts a good 4 feet out. 
  4. Stock up on ice melt and make it easily accessible from both the driveway and your home's exits.
  5. Check steps and handrails for any necessary repairs. 
  6. Change the batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. A good rule for this is to do this when the clocks change for daylight savings time. 
  7. Check your attic for any needed repairs or replacement to the insulation. 
  8. Drain and store all outside hoses. Then drain and shut off the spouts to prevent freezing. 
  9. Store extra blankets and flashlights in an easy to find place in case of power outages.
  10. Make SURE that your deck's ledger board is well secured to your home. Every year there are decks that fail under our snow loads here in the Poconos. 
Have a safe and wonderful holiday season!

Cool Coffee Tables For Your Home

12/6/2017
Coffee tables ought to be viewed as central points of each living room since they are the place where the whole family sits together. Boring coffee tables which will make your grandparents so proud should not be a part of your home, let alone a living room. If you want to enjoy your morning cup of coffee or tea in your living room with a view on one of the best coffee tables then I suggest you take a quick look at the list I have prepared for you.

Ecology is very important and the designer of this table, Matt Gagnon, is completely aware of that. Due to that, he has made a line of eco-friendly furniture and we have noticed this amazing table. it is made completely from the laser-cut recycled sheet paper and it looks very interesting. The table is very simple yet effective and you can notice from the picture it has holes and cuts. Those are actually storage for magazines and that really impressed me.

This coffee table has two purposes, it is a coffee table but it is also a foosball table. If your husband has a man cave and you want to give him something which is elegant and stylish I definitely suggest this table. Made from hardwood, the table has playing surface, rods and tempered glass above the field. It is a great table for foosers and it also has a storage space in the bottom area.

The reason why Alburni coffee tables are on this list is their impressive connection between nature and engineering. As you can see from the picture, the table top is actually a cross-section of a wood and the legs are made of steel. With this table, you have a part of the nature in your room, a part that fits perfectly in modern, eco-friendly surrounding.

Concrete is getting more and more popular in furniture design which makes this table one of the most wanted pieces for living rooms. The table doesn’t have legs and it looks like 3 concrete boards, but it is not made from concrete. As you can see from the design, the table has more than enough storage separated on 3 levels which means you can organize remote controls, magazines, books, and cups on the table and there will still be enough free room on the table.
Stone Coffee Table - Cool coffee tables

It doesn’t matter whether we are talking about marble, granite or some other type, stone tables look amazing every time. Today I have chosen a circular stone coffee table made with great steel legs which turn the table into an industrial piece. A round stone is simple but silver metal legs are responsible for the “bling” factor. The table top is made from natural stone which gives it special effect in your living room.
