Leather Furniture: Make Your House a Home
My favorite place in the world is a tiny, old cabin up in the Rocky Mountains, at the end of a skinny dirt road, secluded from everything. From the outside, it looks like any other cabin- worn logs, cracking grout and a chimney. But on the inside, it is the wonder of my childhood and the respite of my adulthood. Old national park posters line the walls, along with Ansel Adams' photographs of California's redwood park. There's a wonderfully large fireplace right in the main room (which is one of two rooms total), and a few well-worn pieces of leather furniture in front of it. I don't think there is anything better than sitting on that old leather sofa listening to the crack and pop of the fire while the first snow of the season falls quietly outside.
So many summers and Christmas breaks have been spent in that cabin, and by spent I mean every second luxuriously enjoyed.
Do you have a place like that? Where everything outside just seems to disappear, and you can completely let go? If you want to explore the woods, you do; if you want to sit in front of the fire and read a book, you do. If you want to experiment with a dutch oven dinner, you do. And the best part is, there's no cell reception up there. There is really nothing to distract you from the simple things everyone always wants to get back to, but doesn't seem quite able to find.
Everything about my cabin quietly whispers, doesn't scream, the word "simple." That word is never screamed. What is simple to you? To me, it's having time to prepare a real meal and then sit down with family to actually enjoy it. A life lived on microwave dinners or burgers eaten in the car is missing so much, in my opinion. I think there is much to be said for thinking about the food we eat and how we eat it. Another element (there can't be too many; remember- simple!) is the act of being with who you're with. This might seem rather obvious- of course if you are in the same room with someone, you are with them- but oftentimes we are actually absent from the present reality, thanks to an urgent email or a call to our cell phone. Turn all of those electronic appendages off for a day and see how you feel. At first, it might seem like you've lost connection with the world, that you're out of the loop. But after a while, you'll realize that you're actually more connected with the world, by nature of being more connected to the people you're actually with.
I suppose I'm fairly biased, but when I envision the perfect home for living the simple life, I see my cabin, with just a few variations. I love the look of natural wood, and I feel like that just grounds everything. It reminds me that no matter how important we try to be, we are still part of the world and it's a part of us. I'll always picture a great fireplace because I think watching the fire burn and feel it giving its warmth is a great reminder of all those who've lived before us and depended on fire for cooking and warmth through the winters. And then, since I'm still a rather modern person, I just have to have leather furniture. Preferably old and broken in, but all of it has to start new sometime, and the earlier you get it, the sooner it will be broken in to your exact specifications. Leather furniture is the key to a simple, modern dwelling, be it a cabin up in the mountains or the living room of your suburban home. It somehow has a sense of age and history, even straight from the factory. From the moment you put it in your home, it will start to really become a part of it. Take your time when choosing pieces of leather furniture, because they will last a very long time. Think carefully about the color, style, size and shape that you prefer, and choose pieces that fit your home's style.
Your leather furniture will be a purchase you'll never regret. In fact, I've been writing this from the comfort of my own. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go outside and get more wood for the fire.

Modular Home History
Modular Home History
From 1908–1940, Sears, Roebuck and Company sold more than 100,000 homes through their mail-order Modern Homes program. Over that time Sears designed 447 different housing styles, from the elaborate multistory Ivanhoe, with its elegant French doors and art glass windows, to the simpler Goldenrod, which served as a quaint, three-room and no-bath cottage for summer vacationers. (An outhouse could be purchased separately for Goldenrod and similar cottage dwellers.) Customers could choose a house to suit their individual tastes and budgets.
Sears was not an innovative home designer. Sears was instead a very able follower of popular home designs but with the added advantage of modifying houses and hardware according to buyer tastes. Individuals could even design their own homes and submit the blueprints to Sears, which would then ship off the appropriate pre cut and fitted materials, putting the home owner in full creative control. Modern Home customers had the freedom to build their own dream houses, and Sears helped realize these dreams through quality custom design and favorable financing.
Designing a Sears Home
The process of designing your Sears house began as soon as the Modern Homes catalog arrived at your doorstep. Over time, Modern Homes catalogs came to advertise three lines of homes, aimed for customers’ differing financial means: Honor Built, Standard Built, and Simplex Sectional.
Honor Bilt homes were the most expensive and finest quality sold by Sears. Joists, studs, and rafters were to be spaced 14 3/8 inches apart. Attractive cypress siding and cedar shingles adorned most Honor Bilt exteriors. And, depending on the room, interiors featured clear-grade (i.e., knot-free) flooring and inside trim made from yellow pine, oak, or maple wood. Sears’s catalogs also reported that Standard Built Homes were best for warmer climates, meaning they did not retain heat very well. The Simplex Sectional line, as the name implies, contained simple designs. Simplex houses were frequently only a couple of rooms and were ideal for summer cottages.
While browsing the Image bank, you may see many houses that partially or even closely resemble a house that you own or have seen. Look closely, because the floor plan may be reversed, a dormer may have been added, or the original buyer may have chosen brick instead of wood siding. Plumbing may look like it was added after construction, or storm windows may appear on the house but not in the catalog’s illustration.
All of this and more are possible, because the Modern Homes program encouraged custom designing houses down to the color of the cabinetry hardware. The difficulty in identifying a Sears home is just a reflection of the unique design and tastes of the original buyer (see FAQs).
Construction
As mentioned above, Sears was not an innovator in home design or construction techniques; however, Modern home designs did offer distinct advantages over other construction methods. The ability to mass-produce the materials used in Sears homes lessened manufacturing costs, which lowered purchase costs for customers. Not only did pre cut and fitted materials shrink construction time up to 40% but Sears’s use of "balloon style" framing, drywall, and asphalt shingles greatly eased construction for home buyers.
"Balloon style" framing. These framing systems did not require a team of skilled carpenters, as previous methods did. Balloon frames were built faster and generally only required one carpenter. This system uses precut timber of mostly standard 2_4s and 2_8s for framing. Precut timber, fitted pieces, and the convenience of having everything, including the nails, shipped by railroad directly to the customer added greatly to the popularity of this framing style.
Drywall. Before drywall, plaster and lathe wall-building techniques were used, which again required skilled carpenters. Sears homes took advantage of the new home building material of drywall by shipping large quantities of this inexpensively manufactured product with the rest of the housing materials. Drywall offered advantages of low price, ease of installation, and was added fire-safety protection. It was also a good fit for the square design of Sears homes.
Asphalt shingles. It was during the modern homes program that large quantities of asphalt shingles became available. The alternative roofing materials available included, among others, tin and wood. Tin was noisy during storms, looked unattractive, and required a skilled roofer, while wood was highly flammable. Asphalt shingles, however, were cheap to manufacture and ship, as well as easy and inexpensive to install. Asphalt had the added incentive of being fireproof.
Modern Conveniences
Sears helped popularize the latest technology available to modern home buyers in the early part of the twentieth century. Central heating, indoor plumbing, and electricity were all new developments in home design that modern homes incorporated, although not all of the homes were designed with these conveniences. Central heating not only improved the livability of homes with little insulation but it also improved fire safety, always a worry in an era where open flames threatened houses and whole cities, in the case of the Chicago Fire. Indoor plumbing and homes wired for electricity were the first steps to modern kitchens and bathrooms. Sears Modern Homes program stayed abreast of any technology that could ease the lives of its home buyers and gave them the option to design their homes with modern convenience in mind.

Loft Bed Frames Are actually Modern Bed Frames With A Difference
You must have seen in movies or one in real life probably what a bunk bed is. You can see them in children's room, dormitories, sailor's cabin or any other place where the space is small with large number of users. One bed frame is placed on the top of another in this type of bed. The upper beds are surrounded by railings to stop one from tumbling down in sleep and one need to use the ladder to get into the upper bunks. The floor space is left for other activities if you buy such bed frames and use the vertical space to the maximum.
Loft bed frames looks similar to the bunk beds at first glance, but don't confuse them as if you look carefully, you can see these beds don't have a lower bunk and at the same time loft bed frames can be used to maximize the vertical space. Following are the purposes to be used for the utilization of the spaces:
1. The loft bed is a quite place for children's room if you set up a workstation under the same for them to make easier to finish of their homework and to use computer.
2. The space under the loft bed frames can also be utilized by setting up a cupboard. This is especially suitable for single people living in small rented apartments.
3. You can also set up sofas under it. If you choose a sofa that can be turned into bed at night, you have an extra bed without actually sacrificing more floor space than is necessary.
These are just some few instances. You can even set up a doll's house for your daughter with the space if you wish. The best part is that you can use the space as you wish. Being versatile is one of the main advantage of modern furniture wherein you can it as you wish. Even such furniture's are very unobtrusive which make the room look open and spacious.
Take the modern bed frames as an instance. The room wont look congested with a modern frame if you bought a king size bed. Nevertheless of their low features clean line and solid colors that make their profile very low, they have their own beauty which attract your attention in a pleasant way. It is always better to make sure if you live in a modern apartment with modern décor that the bed frame should be modern too.
The bed frames are nothing but bed without mattress. Their size can be fixes depending upon the mattress they take. The bed frame constitutes a bigger size since it to proclaim. If you have a limited space or a plan to fit the bed frame in a fixed slot always keep these in mind. Not only these things but also need to consider many other factors before going for a new bed frame and will see that one by one.
Whether modern or antique with regard to the size of the bed frame is to be considered as a big factor. Generally people if they sleep alone, they go for twin beds which are also called single beds. Trundle bed can be arranged which can be pushed under the original bed when not in use for you to have a n occasional guest to be accommodated. At the same time you can also save space by buying a futon or a day bed to place it under a loft bed frame. A separate guest room can be afforded which is of different matter.
It would be good enough for queen size bed frames for if you have a partner to share your bed. If you love to have more sleeping space to share with your partner then the best alternative would be the king size beds. These bed frames always come in two sizes. Consider the Western/Californian bed frames for a taller one. When compare to standard counterpart it is 4" longer.
The room size and everything has to be considered and see before you buy it. You will also have to accommodate other than beds such as furniture's, cupboards, tables etc. The illusion behind the modern bed frames are that they look more spacious than they actually are. To carry out other daily activities you should leave enough free spaces which is of important. It is always better to have a look at the available designs for you to select the best out of it.

Cedar is the natural choice because of its beauty, practicality and durability. RNC uses only the finest cedar to create furniture that lasts for generations. It is naturally resistant to decay, insect and weather damage. Because of this superior resistance, cedar is frequently used for outdoor fencing and siding on homes. Cedar has an exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio, which means that it is both durable and easy to move about. It does not shrink or warp as many other woods commonly do. Unlike pressure-treated wood furniture, we use no chemical preservatives that may be harmful to your family's health. All log furniture is subject to the natural process of checking. Checking happens as wood releases moisture, and normally occurs across or through the annual growth rings. It is the usual result of wood seasoning. Checking occurs only on the surface of the wood, and does not affect the structural performance or integrity of the wood. On the contrary, it compliments the natural rustic appearance. |

Our broad variety of products includes bedroom sets, tables and seating groups, gliders, rockers, swings, arbors and other garden products.

Cedar is the natural choice because of its beauty, practicality and durability. RNC uses only the finest cedar to create furniture that lasts for generations. It is naturally resistant to decay, insect and weather damage. Because of this superior resistance, cedar is frequently used for outdoor fencing and siding on homes. Cedar has an exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio, which means that it is both durable and easy to move about. It does not shrink or warp as many other woods commonly do. Unlike pressure-treated wood furniture, we use no chemical preservatives that may be harmful to your family's health. All log furniture is subject to the natural process of checking. Checking happens as wood releases moisture, and normally occurs across or through the annual growth rings. It is the usual result of wood seasoning. Checking occurs only on the surface of the wood, and does not affect the structural performance or integrity of the wood. On the contrary, it compliments the natural rustic appearance. |
Checking in log furniture
Have you ever heard the term checking? I don't mean the checking a teacher does to a students' homework, or the check that a basketball player says to the other player when he throws the ball at the start of one-on-one. I mean checking in log furniture.
What Does Checking In Log Furniture Mean?
To the untrained eye this might be sometimes mistakenly be called cracks. Checking can be small, or sometimes large splits in the wood. These checks can range in size depending on the size spindle or log that you have. Sometimes checks are hardly noticeable and other times they are from top to bottom of a post or rail and are thick enough to hide a love note inside.
Why Does Checking Happen?
It is a natural process that allows your wood to breathe. When wood checks, it opens to let out moisture. Changes in temperature can cause checking. This is a good thing because your wood should not retain moisture. What does that mean you might ask? It means your wood is not going to stay moist which helps prevent rotting. Always a good thing.
Northern White Cedar is a perfect example of a wood that checks. This is one reason why Northern White Cedar is a perfect wood for log furniture and log railing, indoor and out. I mean, who wants to have beautiful furniture and when the weather changes your furniture begins to rot?
This is a beautiful characteristic of wood, allowing it to express itself in an artistic and unique way. This is not something that man has done to the wood. The wood does this naturally and is beautiful in each lovely check that appears.
Checking Can Occur At Any Time In Log Furniture
You may have a piece of log furniture with no checks and then one day a check appears. You might in that instance even hear when the piece does check. All the wood is doing is telling you it is doing its job for you and not retaining moisture so it will resist rot.
Does checking hurt the integrity of your log furniture? No. Again, all this is doing is allowing your wood to breathe and eliminate its moisture. If you have a check that has gone completely through the heart of your post, you may want to get an expert opinion, but checking hardly ever harms the integrity of your furniture. So don't be scared of checking, it's a good thing.

Top Five Advantages in Choosing Architectural Roofing Shingles
Architectural roofing shingles also known as three dimensional shingles are the best roofing shingles you could possibly find these days. When you are planning on replacing your current roofing due to some leaking, curling, damage or deterioration, you will never go wrong with this type of shingle.
Architectural shingles are very popular because they are more superior and more durable than any other shingles. They don't deteriorate easily due to insects or other factors such as weather conditions. They also look better than other roofing shingles because of its cedar look and you can even choose different colors and designs to fit your taste.
Here are the top five advantages which you can benefit if you choose architectural shingles over the traditional three tab shingles.
1. Architectural shingles can provide up to 120 miles per hour of wind and storm resistance than three tab shingles. Even the highest quality three tab shingles can only offer to resist 60 to 80 miles per hour wind. It simply shows that architectural shingles are more durable and more superior than the traditional three tab shingles.
2. In terms of quality, architectural shingles are created thicker and heavier than three tab shingles. It could only mean that the quality of this shingle is much greater than that of three tab shingles. The good thing about this is, even if architectural shingles are thicker than three tab, it doesn't add much more heaviness than a traditional shingles would.
3. Another advantage of architectural roofing shingles than three tab is it is much faster and easier to put into your house. You can expect your architectural shingles to be in place for a much lesser time than placing the three tab shingles. Also, there wouldn't be much noise in the inside of your home when the roofer is placing the architectural shingles.
4. Architectural shingles could last up to 75 years when installed properly. The minimum warranty for architectural shingles is 30 years, but when you choose the highest quality it could last up to 75 years. Three tab shingles are said to last for 20-30 years, but the truth of the matter is it will show signs of deterioration after 12-15 years.
5. Architectural shingles can give your home a three dimensional illusion to it. Your home can be a great work of art when you use architectural shingles.
