  • For Your Home – Sinks and Vanities

    Sunday, February 14th, 2010

    UniqueVanities.com contacted me through Sponsored Reviews about reviewing their website, so I was thinking, how can I relate personally to a site that sells bathroom sinks and vanities? Then I remembered  – I was watching some TV  show really late the other night – one of the CSIs, probably – and they were looking in the victim’s bathroom, and the sink looked exactly like the vessel sinks that UniqueVanities wanted me to check out. Have you seen these?   What I find so fascinating is that while traditional bathroom sinks are either square or round and are almost always made of marble or porcelain, vessel sinks can be glass, stone, metal, all kinds of different shapes and colors.

    Did you know that bathroom vanities can look like a piece of antique furniture or like something from a science fiction movie? They can have embossed inlays, sections of stamped metal, be made of tempered glass – I had no idea. I thought bathroom cabinets came in different shades of wood laminate and that bathroom sinks had to be white. A glass bowl sitting on a sheet of tempered glass, with just the faucet and pipes to indicate that it’s a sink and not a piece of modern sculpture? Way cool.

    So, if you’re looking to update your bathroom, one of the ways you can really bring your decor into this century is with one of the modern bathroom vanities from UniqueVanities. Unfortunately they did not offer to send me one to review personally, so all I have to go on is the photos on their website, but what I see is pretty darn cool. The site strives to provide the “Best Customer Service in the World”, so they encourage phone calls or emails if you have questions. Reviewing the site has opened my eyes to the possibilities – now I want to redecorate my bathroom!

  • Bedding deals from Kohls and SHOP.com

    Friday, November 6th, 2009

    ShopComLogoAre you familiar with Shop.com? It’s a comparison shopping site that pulls together information from over 2,000 stores so you can compare prices on what you want to buy before you make your purchase. Before you shop online, check Shop.com for discount codes, special sale prices, and deals on shipping. Once you choose the item and price you want, you are directed to the merchant’s site to checkout. It’s easy! My oldest son desperately needs a new comforter (he’s 13 and using one with race cars on it), and since I know Kohls Bedding is affordable, I went to Shop.com to check for any special sales or deals. I found 31 pages of results!

    I started paging through the Kohls Bedding results and found a great deal on a Barclay bedding set that comes with a comforter, bedskirt, pillow sham and sheet sets, for only $46.00. Each listing also has a price drop alert link, click it, enter your desired price and email address, and you’ll be notified if that item becomes available at the price you want!  Other great deals on bedding at Kohls include sheets, shams and throw pillows, along with coordinating room accessories like rugs. Freshen up the look of your guest room in time for holiday visitors!

    After spending time on the site, my honest opinion is that Shop.com does make online comparison shopping easier. It’s easy to search for multiple items within a category due to the tabs at the top of each page and the links along the sides. If you are shopping online for Kohls Bedding, Christmas decor (there’s a terrific Holiday category!), deals on clothing, baby items, or gifts, take a minute to search SHOP.com to get a great deal!
