Activities For Labor Day Weekend

by National Furniture Company




We all like long weekends, but sometimes we don’t know what to do. Labor Day is a perfect day to take a break from any work, including housework and laundry! Take time to rest a little and spend some quality time with friends and family. Here are some ideas for a successful long weekend:

Play outside!
Is the sun shining and is the weather good? Take advantage of this perfect combination to organize a game of soccer or baseball with people you like to be with. If you are not sport buffs, just take time to sit in the backyard and talk about your favorite movie or anything that pleases you and your guests!



Make a brunch!
We all love to spend a little more time in bed on weekend mornings. Of course, the best thing after that is a good brunch with fruits, pancakes and chocolate milk!



Do nothing!
Sometimes, the only thing that we want to do during a long weekend is nothing! Just hanging there with a cup of coffee; observe nature in your backyard; or sitting by the window and leaf through a book or a magazine. Take a deep breath and relax…

Back To School Tips & Ideas

by National Furniture Company




Back-to-school is for many of us synonym of supplies, lunch, home works, mess and lunch again! When this time of the year is coming, we start to stress, to be tense and we are trying to be organized (which is not that easy sometimes!). Here are some organizing tips to help everyone being more relaxed at the back-to-school:


Make a space for children’s backpacks
In the lobby or anywhere else, take time to make an exclusive space to put the backpacks when child come back from school. It could be a storage bench, a wall shelf with hooks, a big basket or a large storage box.


Create a study area
To facilitate the productivity and reduce the homework time a study area is a must. Ideally, it should be a quiet place without any source of distraction like TV, video games, tablets, cell phone or any toy. The room could be filled with bookcases, a bench and/or chair, a work desk and maybe comfortable furniture where to read and study like a small sofa or a recliner.



Prepare in advance
To save time and avoid stress in the morning, preparing in advance is a good thing! The day before or even during the week-end, we can prepare lunches, sport clothes and organize backpacks for the upcoming week.



Choose outfits the night before
If we are still lacking time in the morning, choosing the outfits the night before could make the difference!

4 Good Ways To Celebrate Independence Day!

by National Furniture Company




Celebrate with friends!
Pack a lunch, your joy and bring a couple of friends to a place where you all feel free and love for the sake of the peace that it gives you inside.



Make a patriotic picnic with your family!
Prepare sandwiches, veggies, chips, dips and all the things you like. Add a touch of America to it; make little American flags on toothpicks for the cupcakes, give your sandwiches American President names to distinguish them, buy some American flag napkins, etc. Ask your children to give a hand, they will love it! Then find a green place to eat and have fun together.



Decorate your home originally with the American flag!
If you receive guests for this special day and want to add a touch of America in your home, there are a couple of things you can do to be in tune with the theme of the day: Paint Mason jars with the American colors and then use them to add flowers or candles to the table center; fix your utensils and napkins together with blue, white and red ribbons; make American flag place mats, etc.



Go to an Independence Day parade!
In most cities and/or states, there will be a big parade to celebrate the dedicated day of America. Go see your city’s website to know which activities or special events will be close to home and choose the one that seems the most interesting to you. Don’t miss the fireworks!

Bedroom: Fresh Looks

by National Furniture Company


When the summer is there and the winter is just a memory, it’s time to make some changes! One of the first things to be changed certainly is the bedding. Heavy drapes are replaced with sheers, and light-weight coverlets are very welcomed. There’s simply no better way to start the new season of sun and grass than with new bedding! Take a look at the fresh bedroom styles that we found for you.



Light and neutral

Spring is the right time to bring out linen sheets and offer yourself a fresh, restful and soothing bedroom atmosphere. The mixes of toasted almond and dust blue or tangerine are good choices for a smooth decor.










Bright and colorful
You can only feel happy when your gaze is set on a colorful pattern in shades of bright blue, green or orange. It’s the perfect way to make a transition between the last days of cold and the warmer season.













Warm and floral
Now that the sky is bright blue and the sun makes flowers come out off the ground, why not make flowers appear on your bed too? A warm colored print of big or small flowers would undoubtedly lift the mood.
