If you want to change your accessories every season, or are looking for long term durability, knowing the makeup of these materials is a plus. It is okay to mix and match your materials, although it is recommended to keep the color and patterns in mind. Pool chairs and dining cushions should have the right material used for function.</span></b></div>

Cotton is an inexpensive fabric that dyes easily. Although cotton duck canvas is naturally water resistant, the fabric will retain water in the small pockets of space in the weave and grow heavier. Overtime, water may find its way into the stuffing of the cushion, leaving you with mold and mildew.</span></b></div>

Because this fabric is dyed after the original manufacture process, use of bleach in the cleaning process is not recommended. It is also recommended that cotton canvas be with outdoor pool furniture. The cotton canvas material is relatively cheap and comes in a wide assortment of colors and style.</span></b></div>

This product is not able to stand up to heat very well, and can get hot to the touch. It also has the potential to fade. Studies are inconclusive, but there has been inquiries on the environmental health concerns with the manufacture of this material.</span></b></div>

This is a combination of the durability of the polyester yarns with the protection of the plastic coating. This material is typically a waterproof material but it does not have the long term sun protection and is subject to fading.

A small amount of bleach can be used to get out tough stains. Overtime, though, the bleach will breakdown the PVC material. The polyester does provide some stability and durability Outdoor chair cushions have this common woven mesh texture.</span></b><br />

An example is the </span><a href="http://www.homefurnitureandpatio.com/VM174254-sku/35055/Vifah-Long-Beach-Footrest.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0563c1; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Long Beach Footrest by Vifah Modern Patio</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. The cotton dye refers to the process in which the fabric is colored. Almost all fabric is colored as a second part of the manufacturing, and this fabric is solution dyed first. This means chlorine or sun will not discolor or fade over time.</span></b></b></div>

Sunbrella comes in different grades and each has its purpose. This can be used anywhere in high usage to hot sun, and poolside without degrading. It is not surprising then that this is the most expensive material in the market today.</span></b></b></div>

Table settings can range from simple and easy to complex and elaborate. Putting together the right setting will help set the tone for any meal. Understanding the various types of table settings and what each entails is the first step in putting together a beautiful and well-planned meal.</span></b></div>

For a formal meal, every place setting will need the appropriate number of cutlery pieces and plates. You might have wait staff changing out courses, so the initial setting will only need the appropriate dinnerware for the first course. When planning such an event, ensure that all of the additional tableware for successive courses is availabale and accounted for before the meal.</span></b></div>

A very casual meal may only require a single plate, fork and knife. A larger informal meal will probably require a dinner plate, butter plate and salad plate. Separate dinner and salad forks are optional.</span></b></div>

You may need serving dishes on the table. Consider the correct number of bowls and plates for the meal, along with all the necessary silverware. Lastly, you need to consider beverages. At the base minimum, every guest should have a glass or water goblet. Remember that the ultimate goal for any table setting is that it is functional for the meal.</span></b></div>

A simple way to add creativity to a table setting is with napkins. Cloth napkins can be folded into various shapes.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Aluminum benches do not rust, are very durable, require minimal maintenance, and have the ability to take on any style or fashion and appearance that a furniture designer has the imagination to create. These benches can be categorized into different construction methods. When buying aluminum benches and choosing the best construction method for you, there are some important things to note before your purchase:</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The state of the art finishing technique used on most metal frames is called powder coating. Dry paint particles are ionized and sprayed onto the frames. The paint is then baked, which results in a very durable and thick finish that provides a more comprehensive coating than a wet paint finish. The painted finish is the barrier that keeps aluminum from oxidizing. A good quality powder coat finish is very resistant to peeling, cracking, chipping and fading.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">When looking at the primary aluminum furniture construction methods, it is important to remember that each method has characteristics, advantages and features that are unique to that certain type of aluminum furniture construction. The basic method of choosing one over another is to choose the design style that pleases you most and is comfortable for you. More thought, though, should be given to the area where you will use your furniture and the particular needs for your lifestyle.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In tubular aluminum furniture, the frame is made from extruded tubing that is formed when molten metal is forced through a die that shapes it into a hollow tube. The various shapes that can be created from this is unlimited, ranging from simple round tubing like the </span><a href="http://www.homefurnitureandpatio.com/sdr-sku/11134/Lebello-Sun-Day-R-Sun-Recliner.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Sun Day R Sun Recliner by Lebello</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> to wide racetrack extrusions and everything in between.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Tubular aluminum construction usually includes vinyl straps, fabric slings or cushions for the seat and back portion of the outdoor furniture. All of these three are replaceable over time should the need arise. On a good quality aluminum frame, the metal frame will far outlast the softer material used for the seat and back. When investing in this type of furniture, it is a good idea to ask how easy it is to buy these replacement parts when needed. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In this construction method, molten aluminum is poured into molds and cooled. Parts of the whole are separately cast and bolted or welded together to form the piece of furniture. With the ability to create any shape or detail in a casting, this method is unlimited in the realm of design creativity. Designs are usually made in traditional styles like the </span><a href="http://www.homefurnitureandpatio.com/1042-6-sku/32615/Meadow-Decor-Valentino-Patio-Arm-Chair.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Valentino Patio Arm Chair by Meadow Decor</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> because of the ability to make great detail in the castings. However, contemporary designs that are sleeker and reflect more modern tastes are being manufactured as well.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It is very important to maintain the finish on cast aluminum. During the molding process, little air pockets form in the cast metal. Any amount of moisture that gets into the bare metal can cause peeling and blistering of the paint around it. If you are choosing this type of outdoor furniture for an extreme climate condition where sand and salt can abrade the finish, consider buying the best quality you can afford as the powder coat finish will be thicker and of the highest quality.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Wrought aluminum outdoor benches are essentially like wrought iron with aluminum used in place of iron. Aluminum stock is forged, hammered, and welded into a design in the same method that has been used for thousands of years with iron. The welded frame are cleaned and finished with a powder coat paint process to give protection from the elements.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Generally, aluminum benches require little maintenance. However, although aluminum outdoor furniture will not rust, exposed and unfinished aluminum will oxidize. Therefore maintaining the finish is important to lengthen the life of your outdoor furniture. Check the manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations before performing any maintenance. It is very important to follow the manufacturer guidelines so any warranties provided is not negated.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Cleaning may be as simple as washing with mild soap and water solution. For tougher cleaning issues, a specialty cleaning product can make your job a snap.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10269956293486527264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6174331639312253541.post-73526047289050386232014-05-13T06:13:00.000-07:002014-05-17T06:14:12.623-07:00Extend the Life of Your Aluminum Chairs with Webbing<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The webbing is attached to the chair with either screws or clips. The webbing is inexpensive, so it is practical to repair the chair, instead of replacing it. Aluminum chairs are lightweight and easy to carry. They are nice on summer days because they allow the breeze to freely flow through the strapping, like the </span><a href="http://www.homefurnitureandpatio.com/VM176733-sku/35163/Vifah-Green-Aluminum-Outdoor-Chair.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Green Aluminum Outdoor Chair by Vifah Modern Patio</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.</span></div>

Coffee tables not only hold drinks, but also serve as footstools, game areas and even artwork or conversation starters. In many ways, a coffee table is the centerpiece of a room. So ensure that you pick a good one when you are choosing a coffee table to enhance your décor.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Evaluate the room before you go look at tables. This will help you determine what will fit in your room and with your décor. While evaluating, remember the purpose of the room. If it gets a lot of traffic, you will need a tougher table like the </span><a href="http://www.homefurnitureandpatio.com/3308-01-sku/30644/Allan-Copley-Designs-Andy-Round-Cocktail-Table.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Andy Round Cocktail Table by Allan Copley Designs</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">. If your room is a family room or den, you might want to consider a solid table with storage like the </span><a href="http://www.homefurnitureandpatio.com/401-1-sku/31326/Jofran-Albion-Oak-Cocktail-Table.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Albion Oak Cocktail Table by Jofran</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Measure the space that you have for your table. This will help you avoid getting carried away and buying a table that may look great but be too big for your room. Many modern tables such as the </span><a href="http://www.homefurnitureandpatio.com/alumcoftbl-sku/13439/Knifty-Aluminum-Coffee-Table.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Aluminum Coffee Table by Knifty</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> are deceptively large because they are made mostly out of glass. This is a practical table because of its large storage area, but if it does not have a large clear area around it, it will likely get cracked because people will bang into it.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Take a picture of the room where you want to put the table. This picture will help you envision how a table will look in the space and how it will look with the rest of your furniture you have to make sure that your coffee table is roughly the same height as the seats on your sofa. The picture will help you keep this in mind.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Scout out several options before making a selection. You might try furniture stores, art boutiques and thrift stores to view a wide variety of coffee tables. This will help you avoid making an impulse buy and compel you to evaluate your options. Coffee tables are inherently practical, but you should still keep in mind how you plan to use your table as you are scouting. For instance, if you have children or rowdy friends, then you should not succumb to the temptation of buying a delicate glass table or one that can easily be scratched or damaged by water. Scouting will help you view your choices rationally instead of emotionally.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Keep in mind your budget. If you know how much you can spend, do not give in and go overboard. Staying within your budget will help you enjoy your table even more, and it will allow you to worry about your table a little less. If you have spent too much, then every time someone jostles your table, you will flinch and find that your table brings you more stress than pleasure. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10269956293486527264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6174331639312253541.post-69486606144873796682014-04-10T03:44:00.000-07:002014-04-15T03:45:26.304-07:00Repairing Cracked Leather on Your Modern Lounge Chair<div dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-ba4708a8-64ee-eff3-8b44-d3767594c304" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A leather modern lounge chair is a long lasting investment that can continue to give you stylish comfort when properly maintained. Many chairs and couches come covered in leather because it is a durable material that can hold up to everyday use. Over time, though, leather can crack due to dirt build-up from lack of cleaning or heat buildup from the sun. Heat can cause the natural oils of the leather to dry, resulting in an unsightly crack. Repair those cracks in your leather lounge chair by following a few easy steps.</span></div>
<ol style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Brush the leather crack with a shoe brush to remove dirt and small particles. The bristles of the shoe brush and soft and gentle, so it should not harm the leather material.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Clean the cracked area on the leather lounge chair with a cloth slightly dampened with alcohol. The alcohol removes any unseen dirt, preparing the surface for the repair.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Using cuticle scissors, trim off any excess threading on the edges of the crack.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Gently separate the two sides of the leather crack with your fingers. Squeeze the leather filler inside the crack until it is almost full. Use a hair dryer to dry the leather filler for 5 to 10 minutes.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Squeeze enough leather filler to fill the crack, and level the top with a palette knife to match the level of the surrounding leather. Press a grain pad to the filled crack to mimic the texture of the leather lounge chair if needed. Let the leather filler set for five minutes.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Smooth the set leather filler with 1200-grit sandpaper for smooth leather finishes. Continue to sand lightly until the cracked area feels smooth.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Dab a clean sponge into the matching leather colorant, and apply a thin layer over the leather filler. Sponge on as many additional colorant coats as it takes to achieve a matching color to the surrounding leather on the lounge chair. Let the leather color air-dry.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Seal the repair by spraying leather finish over the repaired crack. Let it dry for an hour before using.</span></div>

Installing mosaic tile is a simple craft project that anyone can do with a few materials and a bit of handiwork. And don’t stop with just your firepit; install mosaic tile on your outdoor tables, flower pots and fountains for a colorful and creative way to spruce up your patio and garden décor.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Clean out the fire pit and turn it upside down. Clear any debris or soot from the outside so that you can start tiling on a clean surface.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Spread a small amount of thinset on one section of the outer rim of the fire pit. Because the fire pit is upside down, the rim is now at the base and resting on the surface of your work table. Scrape the top of the thinset with the jagged edge of a trowel. This will allow the mosaic tiles to cling better to the adhesive as it dries.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

You can work around the perimeter of the fire pit, then move upward, or you can work in strips from the rim to the base, which is on top now that the fire pit is inverted. Continue to work in small sections so you have time to put the tile before the adhesive starts to set. Finish tiling your fire pit and let the adhesive dry.</span></div>

(This was the section resting on the work surface you tiled the bulk of the fire pit.) Let the adhesive dry.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Flip the fire pit back over and apply grout to the crevices between the mosaic tiles. Your grout float works well for this, but you can also use your fingers. Remove any excess grout with warm water and a sponge before the grout has a chance to dry on the surface of the tiles. Let the grout dry, then flip it and grout the rim.</span></div>

This will protect the grout lines from moisture and stains.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Glass tables can easily be marred by the appearance of scratches. As a general rule, the deeper or more complex the scratch, the more difficult it will be to remove. Deep or heavy scratches are best handled by specialists, but you should be able to treat the lighter ones at home. When repairing scratches on a glass </span><a href="http://www.homefurnitureandpatio.com/dining-room/dining-room-tables/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">modern dining table</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, remember that unless the top can be removed and placed on a solid and level surface, there is danger of cracking the glass when too much pressure is applied. It is not uncommon to try more than once to repair scratched glass.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Apply the polish or the toothpaste to the scratched area with a microfiber cloth.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Rub the polish or toothpaste in a rotating motion on the scratches for three to five minutes, apply just enough pressure to lightly braise the surface. Your goal is to gently buff out the scratch by planning or smoothing the uneven surface of the glass in the damaged area.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Moisten the sponge with plain water and squeeze out any excess from the sponge. Wipe the surface of the glass, cleaning away the polish or paste. Look for any signs of progress.</span></div>

<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Re-apply the polish or paste, and buff again if the scratches are still visible. Rise and check if any improvement has been made. Minor scratches should start to disappear after two or three applications.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Follow buffing the lighter scratches with an optional fill-in technique for more deeply scratched area. Use a fine paintbrush and clear epoxy, and gradually and slowly paint over the damage. Test the clear epoxy first in an inconspicuous section of the glass to ensure that the result is clear after it dries.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Wicker furniture has a more extensive history than resin furniture. Wicker was first used as a material for furniture by the ancient Egyptians. The first wicker furniture was made of anything from reed to swamp grasses. Wicker furniture maintained its popularity until the Middle Ages when it experienced a slight decline. Its popularity was renewed by Victorian societies and it has remained popular until the present day. On the other hand, resin furniture did not become common until the technology to synthesize polymers was created.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Wicker furniture will last longer if not exposed to water or excessive sun.

It is best to cover wicker furniture when not in use.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This is a type of craft usually performed on wood items. You can decoupage pictures or decorative paper on your wooden bench, covering the whole thing or a select small area. On a clean bench, apply a layer of decoupage glue over the area where you will put the pictures and press the pictures into place. Once the glue dries, apply another later of the glue to seal them in place. If you intend to use the bench outside, use waterproof glue or another type of clear sealant.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For an unfinished wood bench, wood burning can create elaborate pictures and designs on the surface. If you are a novice at the craft, use a pyrography pen designed for beginners. Start with one small area of the bench to get a feel for it. With wood burning, you can always expand the artwork into the areas around the original. Before you start the process, it would help to first create a sketch of the design directly on the wood surface using a pencil.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">One of the easiest craft projects for a wooden bench, painting gives some of the quickest results among the other ideas. Use outdoor acrylic paints for the most durable results. Once the paint dries, consider adding some type of sealant for additional protection. Both children and adults can do this craft. You can do with a detailed mural that covers the front and back or go for a simple pattern around the border. Painting allows for total creative freedom, allowing you to create a unique but practical piece of art.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Creating a mosaic on parts of the wooden bench gives a way to add texture and color to the furniture’s surface. Using a direct method of mosaic application is the easiest. Start by adding a layer of mosaic cement to the part of the bench that you intend to decorate. Press the tiles into place in the cement and give it time to dry. You can create the mosaic with tiles or stones made from glass or ceramic. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10269956293486527264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6174331639312253541.post-85712772978281792392014-01-23T05:22:00.000-08:002014-01-27T05:22:37.037-08:00Furnish Your Bedroom with Ease with Lifestyle Solutions Bedroom Sets<div dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-69065ad3-d3d8-5475-df9d-0951840eeb26" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Mirrors make spaces look bigger and helps make a room more illuminated. Many homeowners are intimidated with the use of large mirrors in their homes. If you are one of them, here are some tips on where you can incorporate a tall mirror in your house.</span></div>
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Inside the closet</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. Put a floor length mirror inside your closet to utilize an often unused space. The height of the mirror will elongate the room, and you can use it to check out your face before you leave your bedroom.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Leaning against a wall in a less-traffic area</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. If you want a large mirror to lean against a wall, it would be wise to position it in an area where there is less traffic, like the parlor, guest room or home office. This avoids accidents, especially if there are kids and pets in the house.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Put a large mirror behind a sofa for added security. You can also put a big mirror on a wall behind a small table. Place interesting and unique items on the table like a vase, hardbound book or big seashell. In place of a table, you can put potted plants on the floor.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

This is one of the best spots to put a floor length mirror. Let a beautifully framed mirror welcome you and your guests as you enter your home. This is also a great spot to check yourself before you leave the house.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Expand your living spaces by putting a mirror at the end of the hallway. Hallways are mostly narrow and less lighted, and a mirror can instantly make the space appear expansive and reflect light in this area.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Lean a floor length mirror at the corner of your bedroom to give additional support. You can also put it near the bed, although many people would not want to put their mirrors in a spot where they will see themselves as they wake up.</span></div>

It contains a high level of silica that causes rapid blunting of cutting edges. When fresh cut, its surface has a dull appearance, but it has a distinctive and pleasantly aromatic odor that has been likened to the smell of leather. it also has a oily feel because of its high oil content.</span></div>

It is resistant to rot caused by fungal decay, and its high level of resinous oil acts as a natural insect repellent. This gives the timber a very high resistance to attack by termites and other wood boring insects. Timber is also resistant to water and many chemical reagents, including acids, and it does not have a strong reaction when it comes in contact with metals.</span></div>

Take a step back and see what the space will look like with the piece there. This should give you sense of colors and proportions, and see it against all the other design elements of the room.</span></div>

What is really becoming popular now are salon installations, which are a group of usually disparate frames or images that are clustered together. These installations mostly stretch from wall to wall and floor to ceiling. There is no right thing to go with this style; just start in the middle and work your way out. It should be something that you will feel proportionally, or you can decide based on whether Uncle Jim should be next to Aunt Rose.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The most important tip is to just have fun when hanging art, and not to worry too much about getting things perfect. Remember that you are not doing anything structural to your walls, and your house will not fall down if you do not hang the pictures right. If you hang something and you want to remove it, it should be easy to fix the problem. Consider changing displays of art once in a while. Move your pictures around, just as you would move your furniture around to freshen things up.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10269956293486527264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6174331639312253541.post-31186171239729358642013-12-12T00:48:00.000-08:002013-12-19T08:05:19.763-08:00Strong and Durable Teak Furniture from Three Birds Casual<span id="docs-internal-guid-40a3c9bd-f024-20d2-90ef-2147f08d54d8" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the fastest growing manufacturers of premium furniture for outdoor living, </span><a href="http://www.homefurnitureandpatio.com/shop-by-brand%21/three-birds-casual/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Three Birds Casual</span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> has become the go-to brand among top designers.

Such longevity and durability is because of the teak’s tendency to lock in rubber and natural oils, enabling it to stay stronger and endure over the long haul. Teak is also known to naturally resist termites, warping, fungus and rot, and endure extreme heat and cold. Here are reasons that set Three Birds Casual apart from other teak furniture manufacturers. </span></b></div>
