Whether you have a small apartment or a single family home, the best thing about having a family is to have relatives and friends stay over. It sure is a lovely feeling to be in the company of friends and family. Along with that comes the need to see that they are comfortable when they decide to have an extended stay at your home. If you have overnight guests, it makes sense to have an extra bed – traditional or the murphy bed. Murphy beds today have evolved from more than just a fold up bed. Today, most homes have a contemporary and a modern look. The new Murphy beds fit in seamlessly with the modern interiors that sport an urbane style. They are more than just functional, they look good in an apartment or in a bigger home with a spare room. Murphy Bed: Great for a Spare Room … Continue reading →

It isn’t uncommon to want to change something about your home after a few years. In fact, many people these days are buying homes that are cheaper and haven’t ever been remodeled to cut down on initial costs. As we all know times are tough for many of us and the extra cash to remodel our homes just isn’t there. Fortunately for many of us we can afford to remodel particular rooms or areas of our homes and cut costs by not investing in changing the entire thing. One of the greatest areas of the home to begin a remodel is the bathroom. Knowing about some ideas for remodeling your bathroom can help you decide where to start and what to do. Repaint: Changing the walls by removing wall paper or simply repainting is a great place to start with your bathroom. Many people don’t realize that if they have … Continue reading →

Let one company manage your kitchen remodeling. I heard once that the cast of “One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest” was actually a group of homeowners who tried to remodel their kitchens on their own. It can drive you crazy, cause divorce, stress and not to mention, irritable bowel syndrome. I’ve seen it happen and thank God I didn’t fall victim to it when we remodeled our kitchen. As marketing director of Stone Creek Furniture-Kitchen & Bath, I’ve seen how smooth the process can be when all the workers have experience working together and know exactly what to do. A kitchen remodeling project runs like a fine tuned machine, but if one of the workers is out of sync, it’s the homeowner that is going to overheat. Stone Creek Furniture has developed a team of professionals that “gets ‘er done.” In fact, the team can have you cooking in your … Continue reading →

We tend to think of big box furniture stores as a relatively new phenomenon. Actually, they can be traced back to the Industrial Revolution when mass-production made it possible to create cheap imitations of fine home furnishings. At that time, an influential British designer and writer named William Morris worked to restore true craftsmanship to the home.  Morris’ ideas shaped the Arts and Crafts Movement, the design revolution that gave birth to Mission, Craftsman and Bauhaus styles.  Almost 100 years later, Ron Jones, President and founder of Stone Creek Furniture, began a simliar revolution right here in Arizona. Stone Creek Furniture designs and manufactures fine hardwood furniture for every room in the home. From their first order for 80 chairs, Stone Creek has been committed to providing excellence through time-honored craftsmanship. At Stone Creek, standard features include all hardwood construction and dovetail drawers with full extension ball bearing guides. Now … Continue reading →

No matter how many reports come out about “how much TV” we watch, and “how bad it is for you,” your entertainment center is the most important piece of furniture in the home (keep in mind this is coming from a guy). It’s where we gather, “veg out”, have parties, or make sure the kids are watching appropriate programs. It is the center of our lifestyle, so don’t skimp on the most important room in your house. Face it, Flat panel televisions have changed our lives for the better and Entertainment Centers are still needed to dress up that focal point in your home. There are several ways to position your flat panel TV. You can rest it on a stylish credenza, hang it on the wall with the credenza underneath it. Or, buy a complete entertainment center to house your TV, speakers and electronics. I have friends that have … Continue reading →

Why do Phoenix residents choose granite countertops over other options?  There are a number of reasons.  One of the biggest reasons granite countertops are so popular with Phoenix homeowners is that they are a beautiful addition to any kitchen.  Depending on its composition, the color of granite can range from black to pink and many colors in between, which means people in Phoenix can choose a countertop that will match their kitchen décor perfectly no matter what their tastes.  And since granite countertops look as if they are pebbled with tiny rocks and crystals (and, in a manner of speaking, they are!) each one is unique, so you know your granite countertop will be unique, even among all the others in Phoenix.  When you look at the elegance of a sleek, polished granite countertop next to the dull, artificial look of laminate, you will realize that aesthetically there is no … Continue reading →

A Murphy bed is a staple in old movies and television shows, usually as part of a comic routine. And it’s easy to see why they were such comedy favorites: a Murphy bed, unlike a traditional bed with a box spring and bed frame, is hinged at the head end and folds up against a wall for storage. In movies, this usually happens at unexpected moments, trapping someone between the bed and the wall. While it may have been a real problem when Murphy beds were in their prime, modern Murphy beds don’t really spring back into vertical position and spontaneously trap their occupants upside down. Fortunately, they are usually equipped with a counterbalance mechanism that prevents unprovoked retraction. It’s certainly less funny, but much safer this way!
