Everyday Items for Your Home

Kylie asked:

I have two cats. Previous to my boyfriend moving in, my cats had free reign.. I let them up onto the furniture. Well, my boyfriend came from a dog house and likes to lounge around on furniture more than I do, so we’re trying to (gently) train my two 8 year old cats to stay off.

I have purchased them a carpeted cat playground (three levels to scratch and lay around, about as tall as a medium sized bookshelf) and a fairly comfy pet bed, and they used to use them both (I’ve had the cat playground for about three years and the pet bed for about a year) but have now decided they prefer the furniture.

We usually spray them with a water bottle when we catch them, and I’ve tried guiding them to the cat furniture, but nothing seems to be working. I have also tried organic stay off furniture spray, but it doesn’t bother them. I prefer to stay organic and not use a lot of harsh chemicals in the house. Does anyone have any further suggestions?
P.S. -
My boyfriend is very supportive and loving, so I would appreciate no more comments about getting a new boyfriend. He does not mind the cats in the house and would never dream of asking me to get rid of them, but he does like to be able to lay down without a face full of fur. Thus the reason for him not wanting cats on the furniture. Their dog was trained from a puppy to NEVER be on the furniture, and she wasn’t. I was more looking for a suggestion for something the cats might like to lay on as opposed to the furniture…

I’m looking for furniture makers/brands that make solid wood bedroom furniture without veneers, and preferably ones that use old-fashioned carpentry techniques like dovetails, mortise and tendon, etc… Also, on another note, is Broyhill a good furniture company? My sister is looking into getting the Fontana collection for her room and I wanted to check that out for her. I’m still trying to see if I can find solid hardwood furniture before I give up and go with something else that uses veneers. Thanks.

renne asked:

My grandmother has a house in the town I live in. Her house has been abandoned for 7-9 years, but she has furniture inside. The family has decided to sell the house and the grandchildren can have the furniture inside of it. I saw some nice antique furniture “all wood” that I would like to take to my place. However there is a rodent problem in the house because it’s been abandoned for so long. There are spiders, centipedes, and mice. Gross I know…it took me a while to be able to walk through there. Any who, I really love this furniture and I really need furniture. My question is can these rodents lay eggs in wood furniture? I don’t want to take anything but furniture home with me. Also should I place the items outside for a while to air them out? Please help me, I don’t know what I can do to prevent infecting my home….thanks

I am looking for some furniture stores in the Houston area. If you can suggest any thrift stores with quality furniture, good flea markets (not the junky cr*p markets) or other stores with good prices for furniture. used furniture stores are best, i love transforming a piece into my own….
I went to Value Village, and it wasn’t the one in the Heights. The place I ended up at had no furniture whatsoever.

I already know about IKEA and am well acquainted with their selection.

I am trying to find thrift stores that have furniture or flea markets that will have furniture. I like to fix the pieces to my liking.
