The lifespan of a sofa

Typically, a sofa lasts for 7 to 20 years plus with good care, I know I will have my sofa for another eight to 10 years

I’ve had my sofas for nearly 12 years now, plus I actually prefer using them. They’re dark brown, partial leather couches that are lovely as well as quite comfortable, i also have a large, oversized leather chair which is my number one piece of furniture in my house. That oversized leather chair wasn’t part of the sofa set, but it matched the set so perfectly that I decided that I had to buy it as well… At the time I purchased the residing room sofas plus chair, I was at the start of my career. In fact, aside from my car, the sofas plus chair were the 1st major purchase that I made in my life after I was on the road to financial security, and well, over the past eight or so years, the oversized leather chair has certainly lost its luster… Unfortunately, I have used it so much that the leather has cracks in it… Over the years, I tried to maintain the sofa by using leather maintenance products that I found on the internet. Just a tiny number of them worked a bit, but most of them were a disaster. I should’ve contacted a local reupholstering maintenance plus had them perform the work, but I didn’t, so now the chair is beyond repair. This means I will have to get rid of it soon, and fortunately, my sofas are still in fantastic condition. There is a little wear plus tear, plus the leather portion has no cracks or show much sign of deterioration. Typically, a sofa lasts for 7 to 20 years plus with good care, I know I will have my sofa for another eight to 10 years. I just hope that I can find another oversized leather chair that matches my sofas.

Allergy season and needing an air purifier

I have really bad allergies that crop up all the time.

Since moving down south they have gotten worse.

I also live on a dirt road. All those bits of pollen, sand and other allergens get into my air quality and affect me. I constantly have sinus headaches, a sore throat and the roof of my mouth is itchy. I take allergy medication all the time. I recently thought about my home’s indoor air quality. I work from home and therefore spend the majority of my days inside. The outdoor pollen does leak into my home through windows and the door opening. I also know there are contaminants inside of my house. I started researching and I think I am going to get an air purification system. I want something that installs in my ductwork that tackles the dirty air quality right when it moves through the ducts. There are Bipolar Ionization Units that clean the air quality before you even breathe it in. I can even choose to get a stand air purifier with a carbon air filter that further cleans my indoor air. How great is that? My HVAC unit then can have a HEPA filter that catches dust from getting into the system. Lastly, UV lights can be added to the system to keep it even further clean. I don’t mind investing money if it stops all my allergy symptoms. I would like to not need to pop pills every single day. I am tired of carrying tissues and rubbing vix on my nose at night.

The portable shower container was a godsend.

Last year, we lost our home to a fire. Luckily, it was warm enough that we weren’t standing out in the cold while waiting for the fire company, but we lost everything. We spent a week in a hotel until the insurance company came through with some money for us. We were looking for an apartment, but we couldn’t find one where we didn’t need to sign a lease. The insurance company told us they could rent a portable tiny home for us, but we already had a camper. The only problem with our camper was that there wasn’t a working bathroom inside. The insurance company rented a portable shower container and a mobile kitchen, so we had all the conveniences of our home. The portable shower container was a godsend. We could take a shower and use the restroom in one small hut that was close to our camper. We had electricity in the camper and hooked into the electricity from our home. The mobile kitchen was perfect for cooking and we could even sit inside and eat when it wasn’t pleasant weather. By the time the house was rebuilt, we were glad to move back in, but we were going to miss our portable shower container and mobile kitchen. The portable shower container was a godsend, and I was thinking we should buy a mobile kitchen for the summer. The mobile kitchen would be perfect when I’m canning and need more space. It would also be ideal when we have large family picnics. There would be no more cooking in the house and dragging all the food up to the pavilion in the woods.

Types of lighting

A fairly inexpensive and simple home improvement is new lighting.

From ceiling fixtures and sconces to lamps, there is a nearly endless selection of sizes, styles and prices ranges, with each one providing different uses and benefits.

In my opinion, determining the right kind of light for each room is as important as picking out furniture. While some types of light might fulfill the same purpose, the exact figure can greatly impact the value, enjoyment, ambience and decor of the home. Lighting can create the illusion of space, set a mood, improve security or heighten functionality of the area. Ambient lighting offers a soft glow, providing enough light to complete tasks without creating an unpleasant glare. Ambient lighting is an ideal option for rooms where family members want to relax. Recessed lights, chandeliers, pendants and wall sconces all provide ambient light. While recessed lights are very clean and modern looking, chandeliers, pendants and sconces can be contemporary, rustic, traditional or make a dramatic statement. Task lighting produces more concentrated light that is better for an office or work setting. It is designed to accommodate reading, sewing, writing, cooking and jobs where being able to see clearly is important. Some options for task lighting include desk and floor lamps, pendants, track lights, vanity lights and under-cabinet lights. Accent lighting is a specialized style of light that is used to draw attention to a focal point. It doesn’t light up the whole room but adds style or drama. It can be used to showcase furniture, artwork or outdoor features in the yard.
