Updating Your Home
Jaime January 11th, 2008
Updating your home for resale or just to enjoy for yourself can be difficult. It’s hard to have a critical eye for things the way someone else may see your home. I know they say the bathroom is really important and that pedestal sinks look great to prospective buyers, but what if I really like the storage that comes with the outdated cabinets? Maybe the next buyer will too!
In a design call to a home today we helped a wonderful couple take a good look at their home. They had already started removing some cabinets to open the kitchen up. That was a great start. We agreed that the oak cabinets could use some new hardware (easiest way to update a kitchen). Next, a fresh coat of paint. We selected something warm & neutral to go with the new laminate flooring. A darker accent wall will look nice - and possibly a textured effect so we don’t have to worry about getting the wall perfect after the wallpaper.
We are going to recommend replacing the plaid sofa with a leather or leather/fabric combo. They both like a casual style and leather works great. It is also very durable. (Perfect since they have 2 kids)
Drapes in the dining room - NEED to come down. Someone may have spent a lot of money on it, but it is very dated. A simple rod with panels from softline is what we need there. Great looks, great price. Keep the wood floor, change the fixture.
Everything takes time, but at least we have a starting point!
I believe an investment in your home is an investment in your friends & family!
Hi everybody,
Can somebody suggest me a better online shopping website where I can purchase affordable living room furniture. However, I searched the web and find the resources i.e.
http://www.topestore.com
http://www.latest-beauty-tips.com
http://www.safeshoppe.com
where the prices are comparatively low.
Please suggest if you have some other better resources.

In response to your question, here are some more resources for you:
You can find limited resources online, but they are there.
I recommend finding pricing online and going to your local dealer to see if they will match the price. Usually, they will give you better service if there are any problems.
Even with the best experiences, there are often damages that happen in shipment.
I recently shipped a grandfather clock after an ebay sale, and it is damaged - so now we are dealing with freight claim issues. It’s not worth it! Make sure to open the product on delivery & mark any damages on the packing slip.
http://www.csnstores.com has a large selection of living room, accents, bedroom, kitchen, & home office furniture.
www.highcountry.com
www.blacklion.com
The companies that we purchase from don’t sell all the products online. So you have to realize that your online resources for furniture are still very limited.
It depends on the style you are looking for, but Hickory Hill has a great website for looking at sofas with different fabrics to get ideas.

If I know specifically if you are looking for leather or fabric, sectionals or sofas, chairs or recliners, etc… and what price range or style - I might be able to give you more websites to look at.
