As soon as the sun begins to shine and the BBQ is being used on a regular basis I get the urge to make a summer salsa! This is one of those recipes that the entire family looks forward to. We have incorporated it as part of a meal or an appy! I also love bringing this to a friends house. 

 

Don't be afraid of the tequila, I dislike tequila immensely and have made this recipe with and without it and I must say it DOES add to the flavor and shouldn't be missed!

Please try it and let me know what you think!

Personalize Your Mattress

Years ago we noticed in the market that many couples were sacrificing their personal sleep comfort for their partners and settling for "best case" for both people. We started doing some research and developed a concept that you can have two different sleep zones in one mattress. Mattresses best tailored to both individuals needs are those which have two sleep zones; one for each partner. You can choose one side firm and one side soft, and you can also choose different inserts for each side. One side could be latex and the other pocket coil. No more compromising your comfort for your partners, you both get what is right for you in one mattress.

Upholstered Tufted Sofa

I love this sofa, tufted roll arm upholstered pieces are so popular right now but with squaring up the arms instead of the roll gives it a totally new look!

Custom Upholstered Sectional

A client came into the store this week with a picture of this sectional. She asked if this is something that we could make for her with a few changes. 

1. 100" x 100"
2. 39" Depth
3. Constructed in 3 pieces to fit into the house
4. Would like to keep the nail head around the base.
5. She likes the red but it doesn't match her decor so is going with the ever popular steel grey. 

I love the red too!

 

We are so fortunate as a custom manufacturer that we can make this for the client with all of her needs and requirements.
