Recycled Dinnerware

A few years ago I came across a company in Pennsylvania producing a number of designs for dinnerware made of post-industrial/ pre-consumer recycled glass, here in the United States. Some people hear the word “recycled” and immediately think of some crunchy, cheesy looking object. The collections put out by this company are wonderfully elegant. One might never think that “recycled” could be so beautiful. Now 2 years later I am happy to see their products on various websites and specialty stores all over the United States.

All Cotton and High Denisty Foam Futon Mattresses


All cotton futon mattresses have been around forever, they remain a staple of the futon world and will for the foreseeable future. High density foam futon mattresses are a more recent addition to the futon industry. HD futon mattresses are, in my opinion, a vast improvement over old fashion all cotton futon mattresses. All cotton futon mattresses tend to wear more quickly than HD futon mattresses, cotton batting will change much faster than foam.

So, if you’re a traditionalist about you futon mattresses stick to all cotton, it’ll feel the way you remember and give you exactly what you want.

Plan your move in advance

The two guys in the video could have benefited from a little planning before they tried to move their futon mattress. It doesn’t even look like they used a bag or anything to protect their mattress. Yuck.

Blizzard Of ‘07 Blankets The North East.


Ok, I don’t know if it was that bad, I grew up in northern Vermont so I don’t tend to think the snow is that bad but we did get a good covering of snow last night. Over a foot to be precise. What does this have to do with futons? Not much except, I was warm and toasty in my futon bed last night. :)
