Great Prices Here

Now my regular readers probably know that I like to have a few interesting pieces of furniture around the house which are conversation starters of a kind: like some interesting home accents, or some unique lamps, rugs and other interesting stuff, etc., and I think that my living room could do with a few interesting additions in terms of items of actual furniture now. I’m thinking maybe some funky bar stools or one of those ‘just-of-me’ recliners or even a love seat of some sort. You know something to add a splash of color and some personality to the room?

At Plushpod.com I found a bunch of really striking cube and circular seats. I liked these cube stools which range from $200 to $400: in different colors and sizes and in a suede microfiber finish.

Now this one is called the Voido Lounge Chair (apparently because of the voids in it I imagine?) ranges from $1080 up, so it isn’t cheap by any standards, however I love how cool it is, and am very tempted to get it I have to tell you…

I know that Amish made furniture is not cheap, but when you look at the fact that it is built to last, and never seems to go out of style, it does make a lot of sense to buy. Especially if there is a sale on! I came across this site that has up to 33% off on their items of furniture and I found a lot of stuff there which I really liked:

This bedroom set includes a queen size contemporary bed, a dresser with mirror and a chest of drawers that is admittedly very steep at upward of $5000, but they do offer a hefty $1,176 discount, so that it is yours for $3,918. Yes I know, still not cheap; but if you are looking to make a life time investment in your furniture, then this is the sort of thing that you may just want to consider.

In my last post I talked about some ideas that I had about setting up a home office. Today I want to look at all the different options for decorating, or as in my case, redecorating your home office.

Now as I said in my last post, it is a good idea to find a reasonably secluded location for your home office. But if that is simply not possible, it may be a good idea to set up a kind of shed in the backyard which you can then set up to use as a home office! These are admittedly not cheap, but they cost less than a room addition, don’t require contractors and can be assembled and ready for use in one to four days. Cedar shed has a great selection of ready to assemble backyard sheds which you can use as a home office.

The next step would be the appropriate furnishing for your home office. The basic requirement is a desk or computer work station and a comfortable ergonomically designed chair. Be warned that if your work involves long periods of sitting at your desk, a well designed chair is a must, if you are not to be beset with problems such as backache and all manner of other discomforts!

Hooker Furniture gives you a lot of home office options but the items were not priced on the website and you are asked to feed in your zip code to find a dealer.

Office Furniture is a site that offers an extensive range of home office furniture. They charge $159 for this very smart and well designed computer desk. I liked their executive desk for $329 which is a simple classic style.

Keeping in my mind that a work chair should always be a swivel and tilt variety I also liked their range of office chairs, which start from $98 for this nice black office chair.

Wholesale Furniture Brokers is another site with an extensive range of home office furniture. I liked their computer desk with bookcase for $179.

I really enjoy the option of working from home and these days it is surprisingly doable!

With the Internet giving us opportunities for staying connected like never before, more and more of us have the option of working from home! If you are in the daily grind of commuting to and from office, battling heavy traffic and spending that most precious of commodities, time, on travel, then you need to ask yourself the question if it is possible for you to work from home.

If it is not possible to work from home all the time, perhaps you can reassess the time that you need to spend in office, whether you need to go in everyday or if it is possible to go in once or twice a week while still being able to accomplish the bulk of work from home. Because, remember time saved is money saved and the amount that you will save on actual travel costs is a bonus! If you don’t already have an office set up at home, you may want to keep the following in mind:

Pick a Space: A small, unused room in your house could work, or even part of a room can be used if you don’t need too much space. Think of what you need to set up an office away from office in your own house. Perhaps a desk, ergonomically designed chair, some storage shelves and drawers may be all the furniture that you require. Mind that you don’t pick a space where most of the family hang out at all times.Tthat will make for too much disturbance and you’ll never get any work done! Some seclusion is a good idea.

Work out what you actually need: Before you go on a shopping spree, assess what is required. Sometimes you may overlook an unused item that is already there in your home, which may fulfill your purpose. Perhaps there is an unused chest of drawers or a set of shelves that you can set up for your home office. Then if you realize that you really need to get some additional items to set up a work station at home, make a list of those things.

Look around; consider used furniture: Flea markets or furniture consignment shops can give you some great deals. This online Yellow Pages site is arranged city wise to give you quick and accurate access to the items of your choice. Consider taking on furniture that high end hotels are looking to dispose of because they tend to redecorate every few years. Sometimes similar deals can be got from offices who are redecorating as well.

Since I am looking to redecorate my own home office, I will write about any bargains that I find in my next post.

A quick note. Just came across this site that has a special offer for the summer. They are offering free shipping on their Patio Furniture until the 23^rd of May. That’s a saving of $100 – $150 on any set. They have a great range at wholesale prices, which is now even more inviting with this offer.

I was already in love with this bedroom set from their site. I hope they have a sale on their platform beds next. Also worth checking out is their collection of recliners.

If you find any other furniture sites offering discounts, do leave me a comment.
