Amby Baby Beds Recalled

Two infant deaths have forced the hand of Amby to issue a recall on these hammock like baby-beds. Apparently there is a suffocation risk solicited from the rocking motion which can cause the baby to turn over and suffocate on the fabrics or padding.

Safety advocates state that babies are safest in bassinets or cribs with a firm bottom and without extra fabric, padding, or any gaps that a baby could become trapped in. Amby says they will offer a free repair kit in January.

Create digitally designed fabrics at home like blogger Amy did here. You need a good printer, some fabric (duh) and loads of imagination.

Excerpt from post:
“Designing my own graphics – To design myown graphics I started with a bunch of doodles I’d made in my sketch book almost a year ago! I scanned them into my computer, enlarged them and printed them out. I then, redrew them onto a sheet of printer paper using a light tracing box (I often do this to perfect a drawing). I also colored some of my drawings in. My weapon of choice was a couple of sharpies but I imagine that using watercolors or paints would work just as well. I was EXTREMELY happy with the way the colored images turned out.”

A home may not always be complete without the traditional sofa and depending on the design preference, it could be costly. But a good alternative is to perhaps contract good designers and furniture makers to create a copycat image to which you may have to pay less.

There are a lot of upholstery makers and designers out there who can get the job done and among them include the likes of Ameer Radwan who manages Couch, a shop located in Fremont. With more than 200 custom made models in their wing, you are bound to find a sofa that may be familiar but costs less. If not, you can perhaps ask them to make you one based on the couch or sofa that you are aching to have but unfortunately cannot afford.

Radwan is proud to be able to provide eco-friendly couches as well. He tells me that to be considered eco-friendly, a couch must be made with Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood, organic latex instead of standard polyurethane foam, and water-based glues and stains on any exposed wood, as well as sustainable, non-chemically treated fabrics. An eco-friendly sofa from Couch will run you about $2,000, much less than the $5,000 $7,000 his competitors ask.

As far as room floors are concerned, carpets are a common sight. For one, it may seem simple. You just have to find the right texture, color and materials and you can install it as you wish. If only it were that simple.

Carpets come in different makes and sizes. Fabrics and materials used are equally important since outside that of looks, good carpets likewise need to be checked out up close. Don’t be fooled by designs or where they originate. It is always in your best interest to determine what they are made of and check their quality.

Also, make sure you get the help of a craftsman to install the carpet of your choice. While some may want to save on additional expenses, the least you can do is make sure that the carpet for the room is installed properly to provide that appealing look designed for better ambiance and aura.

Fitting the Right Carpet in your Room

Bean bags are desired by people who want more comfort than the usual bulky furniture in their homes. Similar to pillows for some, the flexibility of their use anywhere in homes these days is apparent especially for people who want to find a suitable position that they find comfortable.

Bean bags are made from various materials but are mostly non reactive to the human body. Further, they are easy to clean. With a vacuum cleaner to do most of the cleaning, bean bags are known not to gather much dust due to their fabrics. Some even use outer covering to make sure that they don’t get dirty easily.

Besides, some bean bags use covers that can be washed at times. But overall, they are convenient especially if you are particular about the position you are lying in, whether it is on the bed or by the floor.

Before you go out and look for great stuff to place in your room, make sure you get all bases covered. In a home, there are usually the forgotten places and normally this would include the bathroom.

Now if you think there are no stuff you can place in your bathroom, guess again. Here is a good device which carries an eco-friendly option in the form of solar power that generates heat for your towels when hung. A neat add-on for your usually bare bathroom.

Thermique believes home appliances should be beautiful as well as functional. With Thermique’s patented design, towels and linens are draped over an elegant pane of heated glass. The glass itself radiates warmth evenly across the entire surface so fabrics are perfectly heated, and the towel warmer actually enhances the appearance of the home. For homeowners who never imagined a towel warmer complementing their décor, it provides a beautiful new option.

Here is something that will surely interest all Select Comfort Sleep Number beds. Apparently there is an issue with regards to developing molds on some of these popular bed line today. While some are easily pointing towards the materials and fabrics used as the prime cause for them, apparently, it has all been whittled down to the faulty air chambers of these sleep number beds.

A recent class action claims that Select Comfort Sleep Number beds are nothing more than overactive allergen mills. According to the suit, the bed’s faulty air chambers allow moisture to form under the mattress foam, providing a perfect breeding ground for mold spores.
