Six Steps to Build The Ultimate Man Cave


https://mail-attachment.googleusercontent.com/attachment/u/0/?ui=2&ik=1776383839&view=att&th=13e6b547f21d82c6&attid=0.2&disp=inline&realattid=f_hg9lwanq1&safe=1&zw&saduie=AG9B_P8sEu-ubFY-GUBQvOGwruzJ&sadet=1368478367827&sads=vzCGc7xcIU6XcMpZ0BDV6Vu7e6w&sadssc=1Your man cave will become your haven if it's designed properly. If you're a basketball fan, a video gamer, or you simply like playing dominoes and drinking beer with your buddy, you'll often take refuge in your special space where no women or children are allowed. If you're ready to take a space in your home or your yard and make it your own, here are 6 steps you'll need to take from start to finish.


Step #1: Choose the Space Wisely
Don't take the term "man cave" literally. Your man cave can be in the basement, on the second floor of your home, or even in your garage or pool room. When you're selecting a space, choose one that's not frequently used and that's away from the living area of your home. You'll also need to choose a space where you'll have room to kick back and entertain your buddies.


Step #2: Measurements and Furnishings
Now it's time to furnish your man cave. The greatest thing about these rooms is that you don't have to ask your wife for approval when you choose a couch or a lazy boy. In fact, when you're designing your man cave comfort is key. Something doesn't necessarily need to look nice, but it does need to feel good. Take measurements, choose furnishings that will provide ample seating for you and your friends, and think about how the cave will be used. If you're playing poker, you'll need a poker table. If you're playing darts, you'll need floor room and a wall just for your dartboard.


Step #3: Making Less Functional Space Functional
If you're converting a garage or a pool room into a man cave, you might need to do a bit of renovating. After all, you don't want to walk on concrete or sit in a room that's not insulated in the cold fall nights. Invest in an area rug, astro turf, and insulation materials and make the space functional.


Step #4: A Media Center
No man cave is complete without a media center. You'll need a sizable TV, a DVD player, and your favorite console system. If your technologically savvy, you'll also need a surround sound and a PC setup that keeps you connected. With a full media center, you can watch online videos, watch movies, play games, listen to music, and even watch cable television all from the comforts of your space.


Step #5: Keep Tabs on Your Space
If you want to safeguard your man cave, you'll need to invest in a security system that notifies you of fire and intrusion.  Not only is this a security system, it's also a Fayetteville AR home automation system that gives you the power of remote management of your room or even your entire home.


Step #6: Decorating
Decorating a man cave is a bit different than decorating a home. You have the option to decorate with beer labels, action figures, or movie posters. This is the only area where your decor cannot be scrutinized by your wife or your girlfriend.

Think about what you want to do in your man cave and plan ahead. Put dumbbells in the space, a weight lifting bar, or even a fully-stocked bar. The sky is the limit is you are resourceful and creative with the space.

Planning a wedding? Check out these deals/ideals

As you plan for the big day, it pays to think ahead to the day itself.

While you are picking save the date cards, invitations, and a honeymoon location, remember that the things that will make your ceremony and reception truly memorable are in the details...such as your wedding programs, menus, and place cards.

Things like that sound boring, but they really make for a classy day.

Wedding Programs

Wedding programs tell guests who is in the bridal party, what's next, and who the speakers are. Good programs increase guest engagement.

It's critical that your program should complement the theme and fit your personality. With hundreds of designs, color schemes, and font styles, you are sure to find the right one at Wedding Paper Divas.

Menus

This is the fun part...we're talking food here.

First, spend some time with your caterer to go over the menu. Keep the style similar or exactly the same as the program. If it's a formal meal, use a formal font. If it's a backyard barbecue, make it fun. Then it's time to pick your menu stationery.

Place Cards

You don't want Aunt Betty next to your crazy Uncle Joe, so make sure you spent some time on the seating chart.

When you've figured it all out, use place cards to show everyone where to sit.

There are tons of ways to use them, from a corkboard with their names and table numbers, to individual seat assignments with their names on the tables. The latter method allows guests to find their own name and enjoy mingling with other guests.

Tip: For best results and a potential price break, order all three of these at the same time. Usually sites like Wedding Paper Divas offer discounts for ordering matching programs, menus, and place cards. It also helps you to make 100% sure the designs are exactly the same (same colors, fonts, etc.)

There is no better source than Wedding Paper Divas for all of your wedding needs. Whether you order invitations or not, you will definitely want to check out their free wedding web sites. You can pick a theme to go along with over 40 of their most popular wedding invitations.

Check them out today and happy wedding planning!

Five Summer Projects That Will Increase Your Homes Resell Value

Five Summer Projects That Will Increase Your Homes Resell Value

https://mail-attachment.googleusercontent.com/attachment/u/0/?ui=2&ik=1776383839&view=att&th=13deac7dc09a97cd&attid=0.2&disp=inline&realattid=f_hf9xu0xd1&safe=1&zw&saduie=AG9B_P8sEu-ubFY-GUBQvOGwruzJ&sadet=1365459308859&sads=kdg4HvgoeTQlcjrn9rl5vdhqRks

You can make your home more appealing to buyers, even before you put your home on the market. Thinking ahead and watching trends can help you keep your home up to date, even if you are not planning to sell it for several years. Some home projects can be done by the home owner in their spare time, while other projects will require professional assistance.


Keep up with repairs and maintenance

Chipped paint or damaged siding may be just an annoying eyesore to you. A prospective buyer, however, may eliminate your home from consideration based solely on how it looks. Inside the home, outdated paneling, damaged carpets and broken fixtures will make a house look run down and unappealing.


Roofs are another area that should be properly maintained. Buyers are unlikely to be interested in a home that needs extensive repairs. Flat roof repair should be completed as quickly as possible to prevent further damage. Always use experienced roofing contractors for all roof repairs.


Update your kitchen

Kitchen remodels are a favorite option when updating a home. Although the return on investment is not what it once was, buyers love to see a nice kitchen with plenty of light.


New appliances can give your kitchen an updated look. They also tend to be more energy efficient than older models. Newer appliances can be a nice selling point, since they should last for many years. Unless you are planning an entire kitchen remodel in the future, choose appliances that seamlessly fit in with your current kitchen style.


Create storage space

Ensuring your home has enough storage areas will make it more attractive to buyers. Built-in shelves are a great option since they do not use valuable floor space. In the bedroom, a built-in bookshelf can be a future staging area for a reading nook. In the bathroom, an additional mirrored cabinet can make the room appear larger, as well as adding storage.


Boost curb appeal

New windows and doors on the front of the house, especially those that share a common design theme, can make your house look polished. Consider planting colorful, low maintenance shrubs under windows to help frame them.


Do not forget the backyard

A well-designed backyard can be immensely appealing to prospective buyers. Depending on where you live, creating an outdoor living space can be an excellent investment. A welcoming stone patio with attractive landscaping, or even a small kitchen garden, can help your home stand out when it is time to sell.

What To look for When Shopping on The Internet





What To look for When Shopping on The Internet

https://mail-attachment.googleusercontent.com/attachment/u/0/?ui=2&ik=1776383839&view=att&th=13db191a9a7b0273&attid=0.2&disp=inline&realattid=f_heu2drwf1&safe=1&zw&saduie=AG9B_P8sEu-ubFY-GUBQvOGwruzJ&sadet=1364574961734&sads=pZS3lvG4GYh57bT-7j9WtkD-cvQ

Any time you shop online, you are taking a risk. Without a store front and actual employees to talk to, you have to gamble on whether or not they are trustworthy. Sometimes, if it is a big name store, you don't even think about worrying. However, smaller online stores that have not yet made a name for themselves are riskier. Here are a few ways to decide if it is right for you to go ahead and make the purchase.

Customer Experience Analytics
See if you can find some customer experience analytics on the company. These are also known as CEAs. They are reports that have been created by an outside company using statistics, data modeling, and other forms of research to determine customer satisfaction and company productivity. If you can find one of these reports, you can learn a lot about the place you are considering doing business with.

Customer Feedback from Social Media
Utilize social media to get some answers. See if they have a Facebook page that has comments on it. Check for reviews on other websites similar to YellowPages.com that allow customers to leave their feedback. Even a quick Google search for customer feedback from social media could lead you to some very useful information regarding the experience real customers have had doing business with that particular company. Just make sure that you find enough reviews to see patterns. If there are only a few and they don't seem to match, they may have been garnered for business. Also, if there is one or two out of many that are negative, it was probably an isolated incident that led to the bad review.

Business Background
Check out the business background. Find out what their roots are, where they come from, and what inspired the start of the store. Sometimes, they have it directly on their website or on a Wikipedia page. This can help you to feel more comfortable if you know that they have been around for quite some time or have another reputable foot in the door.

Shipping and Return Policies
Finally, take a look at some of their policies, such as shipping and return. An honest company who has faith in their products will have a decent return policy. Of course, there are certain items that cannot be returned, but an "All Sales are Final" policy can send off some red flags. It means they are more concerned with the initial sale as opposed to returning customers. If the company even offers to pay for shipping on return items, that is a great signal to go ahead.
