livlrluv7 says "Woodwick candles are relaxing and romantic, I love them!" about Virginia Candle Company WoodWick Candles

livlrluv7 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:56:12 GMT

About six months ago I recieved a Wood Wick Candles as a gift, As soon as i lit it it smelled amazing and it sounded like an actual wood fire! I then went searching in stores to find more! Since then I have purchased about 5 Wood Wick candles for myself. They ome in different glass containers and different sizes. When you put them all together and light them all it is so romantic, and just sit back with the person you love and listen to these amazing candles flicker, it is one more thing to add to the list of romantic setting right along with the rose petals all over...

these candles re perfect for those would love the soud of a crackling fire, or who love great sents, or those who are looking for something to help set a romantic setting.

kims62001 says "Beautiful couch and sleeper" about Perimeter Crimson Sleeper Sofa

kims62001 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:07:17 GMT

I just bought the sleeper sofa and love seat set a few days ago and I think it is very pretty but am not sure how comfortable I think it is yet. The sleeper part of it is about as comfortable as any sleeper I have been on so it will be fine for it's intended purpose. The couch part is pretty narrow so you don't have a lot of room to stretch out but it's not too bad. The couch is made of a suede type material so it does pick up every piece of lint or hair in the room so I wouldn't recommend this couch for someone with animals that shed a lot. I had a lot of problems getting it delivered but now that it is here I am overall pleased with my purchase. It was a bit more expensive than I wanted to go but I got it on sale so it wasn't too bad. I think it's worth the extra moneh though because it is better quality than a lot of the cheaper couches.

this2shallpass19 says "Glade Creamy Custard & Blushing Apple smells delicious!" about Glade Creamy Custard & Blushing Apple 2 in 1 Candle

this2shallpass19 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:54:12 GMT

I didn't have a great experience with Glade Jarred Candle - French Vanilla, so I expected all Glade candles to be of the same poor quality. Lucky for me, I took another chance on Glade candles and bought Glade Creamy Custard & Blushing Apple 2 in 1 Candle. Unlike the French Vanilla candle, this candle not only smells good, but makes my whole house smell good too.

Glade Creamy Custard & Blushing Apple 2 in 1 Candle is a glorious mix of two great scents. The bottom half of the candle is red with the Blushing Apple scent, the top half is a cream color and has the Creamy Custard scent. When I burn it on my dining room table, I can smell it in the living room and kitchen too. It smells kind of candyish like caramel apple, but I love it.

I only wish that this candle was made with soy wax, since it is better for the environment and burns longer and cleaner. It is at least infused with essential oils instead of artificial fragrances. I like that small, jarred Glade candles are relatively...

bratwoman says "Sadly, a disappointment. " about Glade Scented Oil Candles

bratwoman — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:21:53 GMT

I would love to give this product a better rating, but I'm rather disappointed. As the scent of these candles are wonderful, they only last about a hour. I don't know about the rest of you but when i burn a candle, I want it to last for several hours. For the price that Glade want for these short burning candles, to me they just are not worth it. The Coupons that are offer does bring the price down, but all it does is tease you. If you like them you will want more, more cost $$. They make it and you get a nice smell for a hour. Not worth it. Now if they want to make the candle bigger to last longer, and lower the price a little, then I would give them a 5 star rating with no hesitance. I do like Glade products for the most part. The candle holders for the holidays are very nice, but my goodness are they expensive as well. The tins are attractive, but again very high in price. By the time you buy the holder, and then the refills so you can burn more then a hour, your...

idroveallnight says "Good for your first place." about IKEA

idroveallnight — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:17:38 GMT

If your moving into your first place or new apartment and need some good sturdy furniture to last you while you're still paying off your mortgage, moving fees, closing fees, etc., then IKEA is perfect. While their furniture may not be the most appeasing to the eye, when put together with other pieces, and dressed up with furnishings from places like Home Goods and Marshalls, you can almost make your space look like it is straight out of the catalog. For the longest, I wanted two lounge chairs in my space but could not afford spending nearly $300 a piece at places like Target or overstock.com. After seeing an ad from IKEA advertising their Tullsta chair for $99 I immediately went there and picked up 2. The slip covers were too expensive @ $50 each, so I bought 2 throws for $10 ea and went to Home Goods to buy some really nice pillows and voila... they looked fantastic.

amandaff says "Citrus that ups your mood" about Yankee Candle Juicy Orange 14.5 oz Housewarmer Jar Candle

amandaff — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:41:04 GMT

This candle has a literally delicious scent. Depending on the size, you can expect a long burn with a clean flame. You may note a small amount of soot also, but if the wick is trimmed correctly, this can be reduced. With the smell of a juicy orange, this candle makes your home smell like a fresh orange grove. The candle is of high quality and will generally burn entirely down to a final small wick at the bottom of the jar. The jar is a heavy duty glass and does not tend to be dangerously hot even after burning for several hours, although it would still not be a good idea to be in reach of children or animals. When not burning, the housewarmer jars come with a nice sealing lid. This also helps to keep the candle, and scent, fresh. When this candle is burning, its scent will be noted for quite a radius from the burning candle itself. Although all housewarmer candles will throw off scent, the largest size (at 22 oz.) seems to be most effective. Yankee Candles are a little...

amandaff says "Island escape at home..." about Yankee Candle Coconut Bay 22 Ounce Housewarmer Jar Candle

amandaff — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:39:33 GMT

This candle has a soothing scent that will transport you to the islands. Depending on the size, you can expect a long burn with a clean flame. You may note a small amount of soot also, but if the wick is trimmed correctly, this can be reduced. With the smell of nutty coconut, this candle makes your home smell a windswept island. The candle is of high quality and will generally burn entirely down to a final small wick at the bottom of the jar. The jar is a heavy duty glass and does not tend to be dangerously hot even after burning for several hours, although it would still not be a good idea to be in reach of children or animals.

notfornothing58 says "Don't Buy It!" about Jennifer Convertibles Softee Sofa-Bed

notfornothing58 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:08:48 GMT

My husband and I wanted to match our living room rug, lamps, frames, paintings and such to a particular color sofa bed. We figured if we matched the sofa bed it would save us money in the long rug not having to repurchase these items. We came across Jennifer Convertibles in out travels and they had so many materials and colors to choose from that we knew this was going to be the store for us. We ordered a sofa and matching recliner and were very happy with our choice. The items were delivered as promised in about 4 weeks and they did look lovely in our living room. But, after a month on of the springs on the sofa was making an loud noise so we called for repair. They fixed it promptly. Then a few weeks down the road the material began to separate on the seems. We called them again and they had to order a new cushion. Things seemed to be OK for a while after that, but now 14 months later my coach is coming apart at the seems. We took the cushions off and discovered that...

JustKate says "Kids will LOVE IKEA's Kura Reversible bed!!" about Ikea Kura Reversible Bed

JustKate — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:05:02 GMT

On August 29, 2009 I purchased the bed for my 6 year old daughter. It took some time to put it together but once it was built my daughter's reaction was worth all the effort!! You can either make the bed a low bed or you can build it like a loft bed leaving a cool space underneath the bed for your child. You do have to make sure your mattress isn't more than 5 1/8" thick to meet it's safety requirements. The dimensions of the bed are as follows: Length: 78 3/8 " Width: 41 3/8 " Height: 45 5/8 ". They give you all the measurements in the instruction booklet. It is also helpful if you have someone else there to help you out too. My daughter loves climbing the ladder up to her bed! You also have the option to buy a bed tent also made by Kura. I purchased one and my daughter loves sleeping under a tent!! I would and have recommend this bed to other moms. It's reasonably priced at $199, but you do have to build it yourself!!

sarahmarah30 says "My favorite candle on the market." about Glade Jarred Candle - French Vanilla

sarahmarah30 — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:38:14 GMT

Glade French Vanilla 4oz. candle, is my favorite candle on the market. The container is not too big or too small, it is just the right size for my kitchen, dining room, bedrooms, etc. The French Vanilla scent makes my whole house smell inviting. Whenever I have one lite and someone comes to visit it never fails that they say how great my house smells. I always stock up on them when I have a coupon, but even without a coupon the candle is worth the price. They are even offering this scent in a cute holiday glass container.

They are available at Walmart, Target and Kroger, that I have noticed. I even think it is great that Glade made a label that comes off very easily, so you don't mind placing it anywhere in your house.

The regular scents available are: clean linen, creamy custard & blushing apple, fresh mountain morning, moonlit walk & wandering stream, ocean blue, peaches & petals, strawberries & cream, suddenly spring, fresh berries & wild raspberry, angel whispers, baked pear & cinnamon...

GigiandAdonai says "A gift from someone who is now an angel in the truest sense." about Bradford Exchange I Wish You Porcelain Angel Figurine

GigiandAdonai — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:49:58 GMT

In August of this year I lost a really special friend to a tragic accident. Brannigan and I were on the same dance team for the last four years and this year we began dating prior to him returning to Australia for a visit with his family. He was involved in an ATV accident that claimed his life and I was left with only the memories of having danced with him and loved him for a short time.

After staying with friends and family for a week I returned to work and went to the post office to check my mail. I had a package to pick up and it was from Brannigan. It seems that while he was in Australia he sent me the "I Wish You" porcelain angel by Bradford Exchange. Along with the angel was a card that said, "Sending you this angel to watch over you until I can hold you in my arms again." He didn't know that I was going to meet him at the Atlanta airport so he mailed me this package as a way of letting me know he was thinking about me and would be seeing me again. Well, our plans were...

camp says "I was particularly impressed" about furniture depot Livingroom Set

camp — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:49:38 GMT

Sept.11th 2009

I was extremely satisfied with Furniture Depot's website and customer service. I took a few hours and days to compare the different websites and founded this one the very best. I was able to go into it with ease and the details of the descriptions were so clear in reading ,along with the pricing and photo's along with no hidden fees and delivery was free because of the state that I'm in NJ. There customer service people were helpful in answering all of my worries of shopping on a new website alone. I purchase a sectional living room set it's beige Chenille the fabric was soft to the touch but firm at the same time. It looks awesome in my newly decorated apartment talking about going back to finish my other rooms soon. I recommend this website to all with 5 stars FURNITURE DEPOT.COM

TunefulGal says "Save energy! Stay cozy or cool with CHF's insulated curtains." about Commonwealth Home Fashions Habitat Insulated Curtains

TunefulGal — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 02:40:36 GMT

Our "weird old house" has French-style, open-in windows, Since they're both drafty and hard to fit I've covered them with things as dodgy as homespun shower curtains on rings and opaque Ikea bedspreads with clips. So... you may imagine how rapturous my friends were when I finally hung real curtains.

I purchased my Commonwealth Home Fashions Habitat Hearthside insulated style on ebay. While I would have loved off-white, I chose this cocoa-ish brown color because of the flying hair, dust, and dirty paws so common in our two-person, three-pet household. That said, the tab tops make it easy to remove these curtains when it's time for machine washing. The fabric of my linenlike curtains is 55% polyester and 45% cotton.

Commonwealth Home Fashions' thermals darken the room as well as insulate it. Regardless of the color or pattern, the insulating, 100% acrylic suede backing is always white. Though my rooms are dark when I pull the curtains closed, this darkness favors home "theater"...

heskethn says "Duvet Coverz and Wall Slats" about Inhabit Living Inhabit Living Down-Fill Pillows

heskethn — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:06:26 GMT

I purchased a queen size duvet cover and the three wall slats from Inhabit. To begin, I was disappointed with the wall slats due to the quality, they were hung from very cheap plastic tubing, not what I would expect for a piece that cost over $100. (I purchased a set of three and spent and spent over $300). I also found they did not fit well into the room I had bought them for, something I could not know from looking at them on the website. However, when I tried to return them I found out they had a no-return policy on wall slats. (By the way, if you purchase the same item at 2Modern.com you can return them without any problems). When I spoke with someone at Inhabit they were very unhelpful and then they refused to return my calls.

At the same I purchased a bedding set, the Nourish in Grass ($170). I love the design and color scheme but after one wash the sheen disappeared and after several more times washing the color faded.

I love the designs but the quality of the products do not match...

rosie345 says "We love the look of this couch!" about Pottery Barn PB Basic Sofa

rosie345 — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:55:48 GMT

After our new puppy made a chew toy out of our old couch (also Pottery Barn, but a different style), we decided to get a new sofa. I had always loved the simple, stream-lined look of the Basic Sofa in the Pottery Barn Catalog, so we went with that. We chose the natural colored slipcovers. I love the look of this sofa! It's look is classic and neat. It's a big smaller than the couch we had before, which I really like. (The old one seemed to take up the whole room.) The PB Basic Sofa is well made, handles the roughhousing of kids and is very comfy! The only drawback I've noticed so far is that the seat cushion that gets the most use (the one on the end furthest from the television set!) is indented a tiny bit... our old PB sofa didn't sag at all over time, so I'm hoping I can fluff this up a bit. It's not visible, though, and the couch is very comfortable. A bonus is that if it gets dirty, the slipcovers come off easily and can be washed.

tdrj says "SleepEZ Mattress Toppers - A TOTAL Waste of Money, Buyer BEWARE" about SleepEZ 3" Latex Topper

SleepEZ - 3" Latex Topper - A Total Waste of Money!

Although SleepEZ has fantastic service, and the staff is very knowledgeable, they do NOT have latex toppers worth buying. Since getting our topper in December 2008 and our replacement in March 2009, we have discovered that we would have been better off burning our money in our fireplace. I called SleepEZ and explained that our second topper also failed and is permanently compressed to less than half the 3" it is supposed to be. I also explained that there are large, permanent, uncomfortable 1-1/2" to almost 2" deep divots in our bed (they were measured and photographed). We put the topper on a brand new Sealy Latex Weybridge with matching boxspring (received 4 days before topper arrived), so our mattress was not the problem. We spoke to and emailed Jeremy about all of this, but were told in so many words..."tough luck". They were kind enough to switch out our Medium/Soft ILD topper when it first failed, but we only found the second...

Love2write says "Amazing stain resisting powers - great durability" about Mohawk SmartStrand carpet

Love2write — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:02:15 GMT

In Febuary 2008 we had Mohawk SmartStrand carpeting installed in the main living area of our home: the living room, the dining room, the hall leading to the bedrooms, and the stairs leading from the front door to the main living floor and down to the finished lower level. I was very concerned about the new carpeting getting stains, and also about its durability. I went to six carpet stores, and talked to a lot of carpet salespeople about carpet. Until I found the store that had SmartStrand, the salespeople all said pretty much the same thing -- that you can either buy nylon carpet and get durability, or you can get polyester and have stain resistance. But with SmartStrand, I was told we could have both. I was doubtful, but the price was good and I liked the color choices, so that's what we got. Based on what the salesperson said about the carpet's stain resistance, we went with a light tan color, which made me nervous after having a dark brown. I was afraid I'd be constantly getting out...

eatingcookies says "The Main Event in my living room!" about Stratford Upholstery Main Event Mocha Sectional

eatingcookies — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:08:02 GMT

So my husband and I scoped out sectional couches for over a month, online. There are some styles that are exceptionally popular out there, and those styles come in a box and pop together. This makes them quite inexpensive, but it worried my husband and I because we're fat. How could lego furniture stand up to all the junk in our trunks? Toss in the fact that we have a near two-year-old, and we wanted something that would stand the test of... at least five years.

We have had the couch a week now, so I can't tell you how it will hold up over time, but i can tell you this:

The microfiber, both in color and texture, is beautiful, and easy to clean (the wonderful thing about microfiber is that it cleans with a damp cloth)
It's very, very comfortable
It's spacious and seats four comfortably, and probably up to 6 or so, tightly
It's very attractive in design - quite modern
It feels sturdy - it comes in two preconstructed pieces - we had ours delivered, which I'd have to recommend because...

ApriBambino says "The softest most cuddly blanket you'll ever use." about Simply Shabby Chic Cozy Blanket

ApriBambino — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 22:06:33 GMT

Simply Shabby Chic Cozy Blanket

I purchased this blanket at Target for under $50.00 in the Full/Queen size and it's one of the best blankets we've ever had.

Made of 100% cotton, it has a plush brushed finish that is so super soft it's better than a baby blanket. It's also bound at the edge with coordinating satin fabric so it holds shape and looks good when folded over on the bed. This blanket is a 2-ply or rather 2 layer creation that holds the heat in beautifully yet it's lightweight enough so that you don't feel like you have a lead blanket on top of you.

My husband is not one who likes to be overly warm when he's sleeping, this cozy blanket suits him fine as it keeps you warm without making you hot and uncomfortable. I have the light (sage) green color, it's a nice neutral shade that blends well with the rest of the bedding.

Blanket is cold water machine washable and can be tumble dried as well. The Full/Queen size is quite generous with plenty of side hang so you don't get cheated...

radmadhatter says "A good bargain, but quality matches the price." about IKEA Malm Queen Bed

radmadhatter — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:16:50 GMT

We got this bed on sale, and was easy to put together (at least for my husband.) Watching him, I was little bit skeptical, because it came with two sets of slats held together by ribbon, and was only held up by some metal bars. However, when we put in the mattress, it seemed to hold up okay. Except every now and then-- the slats would fall off the bars and our whole mattress would sink down on one side. We tried reconfiguring the screws, and it seemed to work for awhile-- but eventually my husband had to put in some screws between the two sets of slats to make sure they stay together so they don't fall through. Ever since then, it's been as good as new. Plus side-- it looks quite nice, and the headboard has a little ledge that's wide enough to hold some essentials for bedtime....
