Do-Over

Ever wish you could push "reset" and start over? Have you had the experience of blurting out a comment without considering the damage or consequences? Or perhaps you ended a failed relationship and wanted a clean, fresh start.

It's easy on the computer! Just press Control-Alt-Delete simultaneously and everything shuts down and re-boots in minutes. Too bad life does not organize so easily. We make commitments and break them. What satisfied us one day does not the next.We break things we can't easily replace.

Truthfully, that is the charm of moving from one of life's challenges to another. A full life equals many different experiences and adventures. Often things don't go the way we expect and we must be flexible and alter course. The chance for a do-over, while sometimes painful, can be exciting! Push out the old dusty relics, clutter, and thinking...... bring in the shiny new things.

Visit Trove today to begin your do-over... Our sales personnel will be happy to assist you in creating your new environment. Talk therapy available gratis.

Light up the Night Sky !

Fireworks will soon light up the night sky as we celebrate the 4th of July. At home, how have you chosen to light your spaces? The perfect lamp can go from practical to decorative, a combination of function and art that adds the finishing touch to a room.

Some hints for the Living Room:

• Most living spaces can handle a lamp height of 26-34" tall.
• To avoid accidental tipping, make sure the base is substantially weighted even in slender styles. 
• A fabric or paper shade can minimize glare plus provide a warm glow.
• For reading, select a bulb with minimum of 60 watts.
• The living room is a great showroom for a favorite object re-purposed into a lamp. 

Hints for the Bedroom:

• This is the best place for delicate and pretty lamps.
• Consider the size of your bed when selecting a bedside table lamp.
• Remember to save room for essentials like an alarm clock, books, and glasses. 
• Try a lamp with a switch on the cord for ease in turning off when you get drowsy.

Celebrate with us at Trove and light up your life. Happy 4th!
