Late last year Shutterfly came out with 40 Man Cave Ideas and Décor to update your favorite space to catch all the big events.  We thought we’d share some of the ideas and help you spruce up your man cave for all the games and events that will happen throughout 2019 and beyond.

• Do you have a wooden pallet bar? If not, it adds the perfect touch to a man cave and is easy to put together. No frills, just wooden pallets you can get anywhere. Lots of DIY places to show you how.
• How about getting a football, basketball or baseball field rug? You can get them online and change your space to match the season.
• Thought about barnwood shelves? Rustic and sturdy, these shelves are the perfect addition to your man cave, providing the storage you need and the frills you don’t want. Inexpensive and easy to put together.
• Old beer and hard liquor signage adds character. Visit some local antique stores (or your local liquor store) and look for beverage signs to jazz up your space. Most are inexpensive

As the earth takes another trip around the sun in 2019, there are a few things that are certain. Life changes (graduation, marriage, babies and aging populations) will happen. And each time they do, people make live-changing decisions, including one of the biggest changes – moving into a new home.

While the pundits are all over the map on what the market will be like in 2019 due to new tax changes and interest rates, if you’re selling your home this year, it’s critical to make your home stand out from the crowd.

Here are a few things to help you get started.

1)   Remember the “Ds” – depersonalize and declutter.  If you’ve adopted the Condo method of decluttering, you’re well on your way to a cleaner home. But, if you’re like most people, you have personal items scattered throughout your home. You want people to be able to imagine themselves in this space, so it’s time to put away all the family photos, knick-knacks and items that are taking up valuable real estate. If you have a TV

Have you ever wanted to escape to a sanctuary in your own home? Between the kids, the pets, the chores, and more, sometimes finding a moment of peace seems like a sweet dream. And considering the amount of time we spend trying to get to sleep (and actual sleep), it feels like the bedroom is the perfect place to find tranquility in your own home.

Let’s make 2019 the year of making your dreams come true – one room at a time. Let’s turn your bedroom into the sanctuary you’ve always wanted. It just takes a few simple steps.

1)   Treat yourself to new bed linen.  It might be time to retire the old duvet cover that’s coming apart at the seams. Look for soothing earthy colors and soft prints. Stay away from bright colors and prints that could leave you too stimulated to sleep.

2)   Hide your electronics and wires. One great investment would be to try an end-of-the-bed TVLiftCabinet. The beautiful cabinets not only provide safe, secure locations for your electronics and gadgets, everything

What time is it? It’s time for some football. Whether it’s college, NFL or high school, it’s one of the most anticipated seasons of the year for millions of Americans. And for those who can’t attend the big games in person, there are a million ways to enjoy the game in the comfort of your own backyard. Some people turn their garages into football havens, complete with half barrels, specialty grills and huge flatscreen televisions. Others turn their dens into their own personal tailgate entertaining space. It’s true, your home is your castle and you can tailgate any way you want.

Here are a few things that will help you prep your tailgate space in style.

• Do you have a space where the television is the focal point in the room? A place where all your guests can see the screen once the game starts? If space is limited, consider adding a TV Lift System Cabinet to your room with a 360-degree swivel, allowing you to adjust the television for the ultimate viewing experience. Choose a model that’s

Marisa Spyker recently wrote an article for Coastal Living about the fall color trends for home furnishing design. She says, “As the promise of chilly winter days starts to fade, there’s no question: We’ve got spring on the mind. In the design world, however, things are just heating up for fall.”

For those of us who were still watching the snow fall in April, thinking about fall seems a long way off. But if you’re in the process of selling and/or purchasing a home, she shares some fascinating color trends you may want to consider for your new space.

Spyker said, according to Pantone, the authority on all things color, bolder and brighter hues are on the horizon for the Fall/Winter 2018 season. And while the predictions primarily focus on fashion, they inevitably influence design in all its forms.”

“The fall/winter 2018 palette continues to show designers expressing the need for individuality, ingenuity and creativity though fashion,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone

In many cases, a TV lift cabinet is a matter of aesthetic: if a room has a carefully-selected décor and style, a pop-up TV lift is great to maintain this look. Many people see these cabinets as primarily a style piece, but they are also quite functional.

In addition to the fact that automatically hiding and revealing a TV is a great way to maintain an aesthetic, our cabinets are designed to be functional. With wire management and built-in IR relay systems in many of our models, functionality is a primary goal. Additionally, we offer 360-degree swivel lifts that can adjust to be viewed from any angle with a simple remote control. Several cabinets, including the Crystal Pointe 360 TV lift cabinet have been extremely popular with consumers that need to adjust the angle of their television as well as hiding it away when not in use. Because of the success of our initial swivel cabinets, TV Lift Cabinets has begun introducing new cabinets with a full-swivel option in varying styles and configurations.

Typically, when it comes to furnishing your home and designing a home theater setup, functionality comes first, and then, if the budget allows, design and style comes second. Oftentimes, this will result in a very functional but bland looking entertainment setup. Why would you want to spend a huge chunk of your time sitting in a room that is purely utilitarian?

Many people see a TV lift or TV cabinet as a luxury for the rich. In actuality, a TV lift or TV lift cabinet can be added to your living space at a relatively low cost. Rather than spending your design budget on something purely decorative, you should try and combine  functionality and design to conserve funds. When not in use, a TV lift cabinet still adds flavor to a room and can act as a temporary shelf. The living room or den can quickly convert from being focused around a television (like most living rooms), into being laid out for entertaining. It is amazing what hiding a TV can do for the ambiance of the room during a party

Mounting your flat-panel TV on a TV lift or stationary wall mount is a great way to improve the viewing angle for the entire room, as well as keeping your expensive electronics out of the way of kids or pets. Mounting a TV or TV lift is a relatively simple process. In addition to your home, mounting a TV in your office can really add a new layer to employee meetings and breaks.

Typically, a mounting kit will come with two mounting arms and a wide bracket plate. The bracket attaches to the wall and the mounting arms attach to the bracket, securing the TV. Once the TV has been secured to the wall, the chances of an accident or mishap are greatly reduced. We recommend a motorized TV lift to adjust the angle of the screen during use and to keep the television out of the way when not in use. Our lift mechanisms are 100% UL recognized and adhere to all of the corresponding safety standards. Once mounted, the lift will keep the television safe and in a convenient position.
