How to disinfect your electronics and home surfaces from COVID-19

While you may be vigilant about not touching your face and have aced the vampire sneeze/cough technique (sneezing into your elbows)—there is more to it than just keeping the pathogens away from your nose and mouth. You are working from home with virtual meetings using multiple devices, have also set up a cosy at-home workspace in your living room, but are you disinfecting the things you are using day in and day out at home? In the light of the current situation, there are a few more things we can do as precautionary measures to stay safe and keep a virus-free indoors, including cleaning your furniture and surfaces, sanitising your phone and electronic devices, and so on. Here are some quick things to keep in mind.

Wash. Your. Hands. 

We start with the basics, first. WHO emphasises on the whole 20 second hand wash routine and suggests we use an alcohol-based handrub or soap and water (so, you can go easy on hoarding those sanitisers). To make sure you are washing your hands properly, it takes about as long as singing 'Happy Birthday' twice. Make sure you go through the checklist below for squeaky clean hands.

  • Wet hands with water

  • Apply enough soap to cover all hand surfaces

  • Rub hands palm to palm

  • Rub right palm over left palm with interlaced fingers and vice versa

  • Now, rub palm to palm with fingers interlaced

  • Interlock your palms

  • Rotational rubbing of left thumb with right palm and vice versa

  • Rotational rubbing of the left palm with clasped fingers of right hand and vice versa

  • Rinse the hands with water

  • Dry with a disposable towel

  • Use a towel to turn off the faucet

  • Sanitise your smartphone and electronic devices  

    While your gadgets might be keeping you sane in this quarantine period, they are (and always have been) a cesspool for germs. Now more than ever, keeping that smartphone sanitised is crucial to keep the bacteria away from your fingertips and face. 

  • Use a single-use disinfectant wipes (alcohol-based) or a mobile sanitiser for your smartphone.

  • Avoid using any liquid based-products or bleach, vinegar and any harsh chemical products.

  • Wear gloves when cleaning.

  • Make sure to clean every nook and corner of the phone, the power and USB cables, the attachments, and the phone case and be gentle when cleaning the screen.

  • For the electronic devices, start by cleaning the keyboard of your laptop/desktop first. Give it a good rub with the wipes. Do the same with your Alexa, Google Home, tablets, etc.

  • Leave them to dry.

  • Deep clean your furniture

    Keeping your sanctuary safe and clean for yourself and your loved ones is not only essential but crucial at a time like this. And with so much time on hand, disinfecting the furniture at home won't seem like a chore but will make up for a creative exercise.  

  • Start by cleaning the most contacted surfaces aka 'high-touch surfaces' like door knobs, light switches, faucets, kitchen and bathroom counters, tables, etc. First, clean the area with soapy water or a cleaning spray to get rid of any dust and dirt. You can opt for surface appropriate cleansers too.

  • Second, disinfect by using disinfectant sprays or single-use wipes.

  • If you are using a spray, you can use a soft lint-free cloth to clean.

  • Make it a daily habit.

    Putting the pieces together toward decorating your first home

    "Embrace the work-in-progress stage," says Keira St. Claire, an interior designer with Anthony Wilder Design/Build in Cabin John, Md. "Take your time when designing on a budget. Don't worry about things not being perfect everywhere."

    To make the most of your budget and create unique spaces with tons of character, mix expensive pieces with inexpensive finds, suggests St. Claire.

    Where to splurge or save

    Once you establish a budget for your new home, you'll need to do an inventory of what you own and want to keep and make a list of the essentials.

    "If you're on a limited budget, I would first invest in one of two spots: where you gather and where you dine," says Allie Mann, a designer and senior interiors specialist, with Case Design/Remodeling in Bethesda, Md. "You want to have a great place to sit or entertain and spending a little more for the perfect eight-way, hand-tied sofa in a fabric you love would be a good splurge. A well-crafted sofa should last at least 10 to 15 years — perhaps longer."

    Less expensive sofas will lose their shape and the fabric wears out quickly, says Lucy Harris, an interior designer and owner of Lucy Harris Studio in New York City.

    "Pick neutral upholstery and silhouettes that will give you flexibility in the future to change the room around it and last you a lifetime," says St. Claire. "Go for a substantial armchair with a comfy cloth seat and back, but a wood or metal frame. Wood or metal-framed furniture tends to come across as more high-end."

    Combine a high-quality sofa with less expensive armchairs for a lower-cost luxury look, St. Claire says.

    "Your first place may be on the small size and will require furnishings that fit," says Gabriela Gargano of Grisoro Designs in New York. "Spend your budget on items you're most likely to be able to reuse in your next space. For example, an occasional chair, a side table, lamps and art can typically fit into any home."

    Gargano also recommends investing in a quality mattress and good bedding since they'll get daily use.

    You can also "facelift" your existing furniture, recommends St. Claire.

    "Start by shopping your own home," says St. Claire. "Look at your existing furniture pieces and decorative items with new eyes. Paint something a new color or change the hardware. Get creative on ways to repurpose things you already have."

    Maximizing small spaces

    While your first home won't necessarily be small, any home can be designed to be more livable.

    "Declutter — this is my mantra," says Harris. "Reduce the possessions you have and it will be much easier to make your space look beautifully set up and organized. Store as many things away and out of sight as possible. In a closet, in low boxes under the bed, in a dresser or storage credenza. Leave only items that you really love out on display."

    St. Claire suggests selling as many items as you can and then using those funds to buy new things that work better in your new home.

    The new items you buy should be the right scale for your space, says Gargano, who warns that too-large items will make the space feel smaller. Wall-mounted sconces instead of lamps can give you more surface space.

    "Try to buy multi-functional furniture, such as small dressers that double as nightstands," says Gargano.

    Think about the items you want or already own to see if they can serve more than one purpose, suggests Mann.

    "For example, do you work from home at a kitchen island or dining table that you also eat at? Is your sofa a sleeper to host guests? Can a console table or nesting table double as a bar or a place to serve food?" Mann says.

    Mann suggests splurging on a flexible dining table with built-in leaves that can be closed when one or two people are dining and opened for a dinner party.

    Personalization on a budget

    It can be tempting to try to replicate the look of a home you've seen on Pinterest or Instagram, but you'll also want to personalize your home so it's authentically yours. Art, accessories and books are great to collect over time so that your next house feels like home as soon as you move in, says Gargano.

    "To make a place feel like yours it's important to furnish it with some items or objects that have significance to your story," says Mann. "If you love a pop of color, a blue hue on the wall will help your personality shine through. If you like to travel, a gallery wall will tell your story, share places where you've been is an opportunity to display favorite photos or treasures. Painting or creating a gallery wall doesn't have to break the bank. You can take on painting yourself and curate a gallery wall inexpensively as well."

    Mann recommends Mixtiles, which can be customized with your own prints and stuck on your wall with removable sticky strips for easy rearranging.

    "Hang a smaller piece off center to avoid having to buy larger more expensive pieces," says Harris. "Use a wooden poster hanger that just frames the top and bottom as an inexpensive way to frame art."

    You can create a focal point on your walls with artwork, furniture, paint or wallpaper, suggests St. Claire.

    "Wallpaper can add lots [of] texture and dimension and there are even removable wallpapers that are quite affordable and easy to install," she says.

    Throw pillows are a classic inexpensive way to add a little color and personality to a home.

    "Certain materials always add a touch of glamour or luxury to your space and don't need to be expensive," says St. Claire. "Velvet, marble and metal finishes can all be added in accessory objects like pillows, trays and barware."

    Layers of texture and pattern bring personality to a home, says St. Claire.

    "Soft textures and muted patterns will immediately give a sense of coziness, while bright bold patterns and shiny textures are energizing and uplifting," she says. "Don't forget you can mix vibes and personalities throughout the spaces in your house. By artfully mixing different styles you will achieve a space that really reflects you."

    No matter the size of your home or your decorating budget, a careful plan can result in a first place you'll gladly share with friends and family.

    Universal sets digital launch of new Coastal Living line

    HIGH POINT — When Universal Furniture unveiled its 75-piece new Coastal Living collection — Getaway — two weeks ago, it was presented in a way that most buyers typically see collections: In various highly decorated vignettes in its High Point showroom.

    As part of its commitment to be market ready, Universal had the full collection on display including upholstery and wood pieces that it is now offering as part of its whole-home approach.

    The only problem was that Premarket was canceled due to concerns about COVID-19. Thus, no retailers showed up to see the product. Even more challenging, the planned market a month later in April was also delayed as much as a month and a half later in early June.

    But Universal had a plan in place that serves as an example of how companies are managing in tough times and under almost unprecedented circumstances.

    The company said it plans to use a digital platform that includes email, social media and a landing page complete with a video to showcase the collection to its customers.

    "It's really going to be a blended approach in terms of what we do through email, social media and the web and PR," said Neil MacKenzie, director of marketing.

    The digital approach is important as retailers not only have closed their doors temporarily, but also are discouraging in-person visits from sales reps and other company officials.

    The company is no stranger to the use of digital tools to showcase new product. It has used them in its youth line which eventually merged into its Spaces concept of smaller scale case goods, including bedroom for guest and second bedrooms, not to mention kids' rooms.

    Having experience in this digital realm the company actually planned this approach before the cancelation and postponement of market events, MacKenzie noted, not after.

    This takes its digital strategy to another level, serving almost as a B2C model but instead aimed at retailers. The landing page in particular, which is set to launch around the third week of April just before what would have been the April market, will have a video tour that serves as a virtual walk through of the collection. In addition, this will offer dealers the ability to add favorites and shop the collection online, all the time also giving them the ability to reach out to reps for more information.

    "It is really treating everyone as if they are a B2C customer and giving them the tools to react accordingly," MacKenzie said.

    The company also plans to use Instagram live from its High Point showroom, which will provide customers another chance to see the collection and ask questions.

    The second collection in its licensed Coastal Living line, Getaway is casual in nature, made with radiate pine veneers and solids, and available in five finishes, including two core finishes, a lightly wire-brushed pine tone called Sea Oat and a white finish called Sand Dollar.

    There is also a Cerulean Blue accent finish, a half-brown/half-black tone called Mussel and an antique weathered white called Egret.

    The collection has five beds and five dining tables, offering a mix of options for the retail floor and consumers' homes. These include a $999 panel bed in the Sea Oat finish featuring a contemporized louvered headboard and a bed featuring woven rattan on the headboard, footboard and side rails retailing at $1,999.

    There is also a fully upholstered bed available in twin to king sizes and a $999 canopy bed in the Sand Dollar finish featuring a removable canopy.

    On the dining side, there is a trestle dining table that extends to 124 inches with two leaves, seating 10; a round dining with a faceted base and surface in pencil rattan featuring a glass top that retails at $1,499 and a leg table retailing at $1,399 to name three of the key configurations.

    Along with natural woven materials, also seen on the base of a tray top cocktail and the doors of select case pieces, Getaway features other mixed media elements such as Lucite bases on accent tables and desks and quartz surfaces seen on nightstands and credenzas, giving a modern look and feel to the otherwise cottage-inspired forms and finishes.

    Among the living room selection is a nine-and-a- half-foot wide entertainment wall featuring pier bookcase units and contemporized louvered doors. The collection also features glass-door, metal frame display cabinets shown in the Cerulean Blue finish. These can be shown individually or bunched.

    Jeff Scheffer, president and CEO of Universal Furniture, said the company made a presentation to the sales force on the collection before Premarket. He noted the initial reaction has been strong enough that the company will not wait to do the initial cutting. Thus, he expects it to hit retail some late in the third quarter or early fourth quarter, which is typical for a collection launched in the spring.

    In the meantime, the company will offer its customers plenty of opportunity to shop the collection through digital and social media channels. The sales force also has been given printed and digital packets of imagery for the collection as well as finish panels.

    "They will still have those tools," MacKenzie said, adding, "We want to be prepared for when things return to normal."

    Converted carriage house dazzles judges on Home of the Year

    Self-builds, modern masterpieces and country cottages, the new series of Home of the Year has it in spades. Even if you're a long way from building your dream home, the popular show is a treasure trove of inspiration as it returns to our screens. 

    From restorations, new builds, renovations and re-design, Home of the Year features people who have created their dream home.

    Of course, overseeing these magnificent homes are the three expert judges, design legend Hugh Wallace, interior designer Deirdre Whelan and architect Peter Crowley. Seeking out clever design, functionality and a sense of the homeowners' personality, they will score the 21 featured homes and ultimately crown the Home of the Year. 

    On tonight's episode...

    We step inside the home of architect Dualta Jones and his wife Francesca Griffin, who converted a former shop into a cleverly designed family home. Dualta has always dreamed of designing his own home, and champions the importance of good light. With this in mind, he flooded his home with light by moving the kitchen living area on the first floor and knocking out the back wall to add in a large glass door. 

    The couple describe their style as "industrial" and with lots of personality, and it certainly looks that way. The dark exterior to the front is sleek and striking, while renovating a former shop adds to the general industrial vibe. They both love the aesthetic of birch plywood so have used that throughout their home.

    They both fell in love with the idea of sticking to a shop front theme so the exterior of their home is made different by the addition of perforated corten steel which gives an element of privacy while also letting lots of light in. 

    Next, we meet Laura Dixon and Mike Holmes, who turned their home renovation into an ambitious and hands-on design project. Their 1930s semi-detached home in Belfast was in need of an update, but the couple were committed to keeping a lot of the original design features, too. 

    To make the space bigger, they added a two-storey extension to the back of the home. Inside, the home is kitted out in cleverly selected upcycled furniture, second-hand pieces and items they've made themselves, so their space truly reflects their tastes. 

    They think a lot can be done on a budget. They love how each room has its own personality. Laura and Mike like old unique furniture and to upcycle. Their home is eclectic in style, homely and bursting with personality.

    Finally, we peer inside a home that's as striking and unique as its owner. Ethna Dorman lives in a converted 19th century carriage house and hay loft, set in a picturesque courtyard in Co Dublin, and came to it at a pivotal moment in her life. After her husband William passed away, she converted the space to be her retirement home, restoring much of it and making it into her perfect home. 

    She restored the building and created a partly open plan living room and kitchen, separated by the old stable wall screens and retained the original wainscoting on the walls. She lowered the floor upstairs in the hayloft to give enough room for the bedrooms and bathrooms.

    Most of the furniture in the house was made by her husband William. Ethna wanted the style of her home to reflect the journey of her life. She says her home is a peaceful sanctuary for her and she is very proud of it.

    10 Home Office Ideas to Boost Your Productivity

    There's nothing better than working at home at your convenience, comfort, and availability. However, to ensure your success, you need to make sure that your home office is set for productivity and satisfaction.

    The term "ergonomic emphasizes comfort and efficiency at work, so keep that term in mind while you shop for office furniture.

    You can furnish and decorate your home office; however, you please and use the space you have effectively. For more inspiration to increase productivity, you can apply these ten home office ideas to encourage your work from home.

    1. Stylish Storage Accessories

    A messy desk will never get you to be focused or creative because there're so many distractions. A great solution is installing stylish storage shelves or cabinets to store any physical files and documents.

    You can choose from many trendy options out there:

    Supplies Storage

    It's essential to keep your desk surface neat for ultimate focus. Getting supply storage for your desk will organize sticky notes, push pins, pens, and paper clips. It'll make it easier to reach out to any desk supply you need and stay organized when you're not using them. Keeping your supplies stored together will minimize the clutter in your home office.

    Supplies StorageSupplies Storage

    File Organizer

    If your work involves too many physical files and documents, it's best to have a file organizer. It only takes a small space on your desk while stacking and organizing your files and papers as you require.

    You won't worry about papers falling on the floor and losing their contents. Now, you'll always have them close to hand to reach the document that you need instantly.

    File OrganizerFile Organizer

    Pen Holder

    Freelancers and people working at home know the importance of having a quick reach to a pen and paper is when needed. It's not always good to keep a client waiting on a call for you to look for a pen.

    You can keep different types and colors of pens nearby to make it easy to write down notes, sign documents, and make corrections. Rather than letting the pens scatter and roll around on your desk, it's best to have a pen holder.

    Pen HolderPen Holder

    Office Cart

    No successful person wants to have a messy home office! Truthfully, great storage and organization of your desk surface and work supplies can massively determine your productivity.

    Plus, you need to make sure that everything you need will be nearby instead of wasting time looking for what you need elsewhere.

    Office carts are great because you can place them anywhere in the home office. Therefore, it makes it easy to make room when you're done working or to move your workspace around.

    2. Enjoy Natural Light Sources

    Working at a company office usually has the disadvantage of not enjoying the sunlight. Well, at home, if possible, try and set your home office where you can enjoy the sunshine.

    Take full advantage of natural light sources and let your body and brain absorb energy and become more productive. A lighter, brighter home office can help you see your workspace better, feel more energized, get better sleep, and feel happier.

    It's best to position your desk so that you are facing your windows. Light-colored furniture and decor like white desks and light-colored rugs will increase your energy level along with some sunshine.

    3. Combine Living & Office Space

    If you don't have an extra room to set up your home office, it's smart to blend it with your living space. Although it seems counterintuitive to set up an office area right next to your living area, if you have a quiet house, it is the perfect solution when having limited space.

    4. Think Modern

    If your work doesn't need much office accessories and supplies, just a desk and a chair, then minimalism is best. You can choose from many modern designs and shapes for your home office, depending on your theme. Modern designs are all about simplicity and emphasize a clean layout and idea.

    5. Add Green

    Green is an optimistic color that adds life and calmness to the office. By adding some plants in your office as a decoration, you'll be motivated to stay and work longer.

    Try to establish a balanced home office that is comfortable, ergonomic, practical, and clean. A lovely fresh plant cleans the air, looks pretty, and keeps you feeling calm too.

    6. Use Wall Art

    Sometimes we don't have much natural light in our home offices. No worries. Adding a fake window using wall art will add a creative touch to your office. By using multiple canvases displaying natural scenes, you can give the impression of a window in your office. Not only will it brighten up the office, but it will also make the office seem a little bigger.

    7. Find the Rug

    A colorful rug can add an artistic touch to your home office and absorb the sound. It's best to get a multi-colored rug to boost your creativity and productivity. Also, you can get a grey rug to match any color and style for your home office.

    8. Optimize Your Space

    One of the most successful tips you need to consider is keeping your working space well-organized. If you look at any successful person working from home, you'll see that they have a neat office.

    A messy office will cause many distractions, lessens your focus, and, therefore, decrease your work results. Use all the vertical space in your office by installing cabinets up to the ceiling. Also, you can install different types of storage and a wall hanging pinboard to organize your office supplies.

    9. Hide It With Curtains

    If you've installed open shelves and wish not to display them, you can install colorful curtains. Curtains come in many colors and patterns that you can choose from to match your home office. Also, it'll make the office look more organized and hide your supplies (papers and books) when you're not using them.

    10. Black is Elegance

    Black is the color of elegance, success, and sexiness altogether. You can always combine brass accents with black home office furniture that is super sleek. If you're not a fan of the all-black office, then you can go with the all-white office.

    The story of the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture

    Have you visited the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture?  It's a major contributor to information about the history of our community.  Here's the background story:

    New Braunfels, Comal County, Texas have shown repeatedly they take their special anniversaries seriously and enjoy them to the fullest degree.  The Texas Sesquicentennial in 1986 was no exception.  Preparations began three years before the celebration when Dr. Fred Willard accepted the event's challenging chairmanship.  Roxolin Bose Krueger accepted the vice-chairmanship.  Joining Fred and Roxolin on the steering committee were John Doster, Jean Pfueffer, Bill Dillen, John Chunn, Robert Partida, Edna Bremer, Jesse Garcia and Bill Jones.

    In 1983 as committees were being set-up and plans beginning for the Texas Sesquicentennial celebration an almost unbelievable thing happened.  Nan and Bill Dillen gave the grounds and their fachwerk home with its collection of early Texas furnishings to the Braunfels Foundation Trust.

    The recipient of the Dillens' gift, the Braunfels Foundation Trust, was the result of the compassionate reaction of Braunfels, Germany when New Braunfels had a major flood in 1972.  Braunfels sent New Braunfels disaster funds.  These funds began Braunfels Foundation Trust. After receiving the Dillens' generous gift, the Braunfels Foundation Trust formed the Heritage Society to manage the property that became known as the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture.

    It was decided that Roxolin as vice-chairman for the Texas Sesquicentennial would be in charge of how best to develop the Dillens' grand gift.  Roxolin became the first president of the Heritage Society.  A drive was begun for fund-raising via Steward membership in the Heritage Society

    The Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture had to be shared with the public.  This required trained docents.  Roxolin asked Rosemarie to head docent training.  A friend of the Dillens, James Patrick McGuire of the Institute of Texan Cultures, San Antonio and an authority on early Texas artwork and author of books on that subject arranged for Rosemarie to become part of a training program at the Institute of Texan Cultures that required her daily attendance for five days a week for a month at the Institute.  There was more time required at the University of Texas, San Antonio in addition to the Witte Museum.

    There was then special time with the Dillens to learn about the handmade furniture and the local furniture craftsman:  Jahn, Scholl, Tietze, Stautzenberger.  Further research was ongoing.

    Information was needed on the Breustedt home and family.  The house was built in 1856 by a prosperous farmer, Andreas Breustedt.  When the IH 35 corridor was being constructed the house had to be moved.  Due to its size, it could not be moved a great distance; consequently, the Dillens purchased nearby land on Church Hill Drive and to that site they moved the house.

    Andreas and Caroline Breustedt had eight children.  Three died in infancy.  Their sons were William, Walter, Otto and Alvin.  Their daughters were Emma (Steinmeyer), Elise (Eikenroht), Emelie (Pieper) and Alma (Lettair).  The Dedekes and Bocks are among their descendants.   

    Among the Breustedts many friends were Wilhelm and Caroline Bruckish who immigrated from Silesia in 1853.  They made their home near Hortontown and were the parents of five children.  Bruckish was a beekeeper.  He was asked to come to Texas because a lack of bees was preventing fruit pollination.  He brought several hives of Italian Black bees and contributed greatly to the Scholarship of beekeeping.

    Some interesting stories involving the Breustedt home have to do with the front porch.  Facing the front porch and to the left on the far end and well concealed is an entrance to the root cellar.  The entrance occurred by pushing open the far end of the porch boards.  That cellar was the hiding place for the Bruckishs' three sons who were attempting to avoid being in the Civil War fighting for the South.  Also, it is possible that the Breustedt home at its former site was part of the Underground Railroad.  If you have any information regarding this please contact the museum.

    The docent program opportunity was presented to the Steward members.  The response was exceptional.  Serving on the docent steering committee were Steward members Ann Burrus, Maxine Estess, Charlene Adams, Arlene Sedgwick and Jackie Heitcamp.  Along with learning about handmade furniture, the local craftsman, the Breustedt home and the Dillens, another objective was to learn the history of interior design.  Each potential docent took a topic, researched it and made a presentation to the group.  In addition there were field trips: the Witte Museum with emphasis on handmade furniture, the Institute of Texan Cultures, Austin museums, and Round Top.  The docent's first Christmas Season outing was spent with the Rev. L.C. Ervendberg's great-granddaughters, the Timmermann Sisters at their home in Geronimo with their beautiful Christmas tree and their wonderful stories about the decorations beneath the tree as well as on it.

    After the Steward member docents completed training it was Rosemarie's responsibility to get at least two more groups of docents.  Arlene was the first she contacted. Among the many then joining in the years that followed were Loreen Ludwig (who received numerous outstanding Docent accolades), and Marie Offerman (who along with her husband Don filmed the docent program).  Filling the number of docents needed was not difficult.  The Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture opened May 31, 1985.  

    By 1992 the Heritage Society had proven itself and the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture was deeded to it.  At present Linda Goebel is docent chairman and Kay Schumann Reneau heads the Heritage Society.  The former Dillen property now the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture is where you will also enjoy Folkfest usually in early Spring.  This year it will be held Oct. 17-18.  We'll share more about Folkfest in later columns.  In the meantime, plan to visit the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture.  As to their hours and future docent training programs give a call to the Museum 830-629-6504.

    A special thank you to Museum Director Justin Ball for his help with this column.

    HOM Furniture Closing Retail Locations until April

    The decision came after the CEO decided it was the responsible thing to do to set the tone that the Coronavirus needs to be taken seriously.

    FARGO, N.D. – HOM Furniture is temporarily closing all of their locations across all five states they operate in today.

    The decision came after the CEO decided it was the responsible thing to do to set the tone that the Coronavirus needs to be taken seriously.

    The retail locations include HOM Furniture's sister stores Gabberts and DOCK86.

    Customers can still make purchases online.

    "We're not only asking our employees to go home, stay home, and be safe, but we are also hoping that our customers will do the same and follow the same thought," said Rod Johansen, the CEO of HOM Furniture, "It's a very expensive endeavor, but we are just trying to be on the cautious side of this situation."

    Deliveries and installations will still be honored, but the store is asking customers to inform them if anyone in the home is feeling ill so they can make new delivery arrangements to protect their workers.

    Retail locations will plan to re-open on April 1st.

    FD Home opens first domestic warehouse

    LEXINGTON, N.C. – Case goods resource FD Home has opened a warehouse here that will offer a limited amount of bedroom and dining room to dealers seeking to replenish small quantities of product quickly.

    The Tuscany bedroom is one of six bedrooms FD Home is stocking in its Lexington, N.C. warehouse. The facility also will house two popular dining room groups.

    The warehouse is a leased facility operated by Shelba D. Johnson and will stock between five and eight bedroom and dining room sets initially, with room to grow over time. It began shipping in February and will primarily serve dealers in the central and eastern part of the U.S.

    "It is not our full line, but we don't need it to be," said Steve York, president. "When we have product that is selling extremely well on container and we have distribution of that product, it doesn't condone us to bring it into our U.S. inventory."

    York noted that the company continues to warehouse product in a climate controlled warehouse in Vietnam that is shipped in mixed containers.

    "We stock our product in the factory warehouse, so as we sell product with new placements and pull items out of our domestic inventory we can immediately start building our next container to replenish inventory and keep a much smaller footprint of inventory in the U.S." he noted.

    "This (domestic warehouse)," he added, "allows us to reach out to the next tier of customer."

    I'm Tom Russell and have worked at Furniture/Today since August 2003. Since then, I have covered the international side of the business from a logistics and sourcing standpoint. Since then, I also have visited several furniture trade shows and manufacturing plants in Asia, which has helped me gain perspective about the industry in that part of the world. As I continue covering the import side of the business, I look forward to building on that knowledge base through conversations with industry officials and future overseas plant tours. From time to time, I will file news and other industry perspectives online and, as always, welcome your response to these Web postings.
