TVs are getting thinner and thinner!

   9/30/17                                                                                         When you first walk in the front door here at Jeff Lynch you wander to the right and are met with a huge area of TVs in just about every size, price and technical feature you can imagine.   A while back we received the newest breakthrough in TVs and we are still in awe!   Earlier this year LG introduced their WALLPAPER 4K OLED TV.     They call it a WALLPAPER TV because it is so thin (and light) that it attaches directly to the wall.   It attaches with magnetic backing.  Literally peels off and attaches like a sticker.  This TV is just about as thin as a smart phone.   So thin you can actually hide it beh...

Decoding dishwasher noise levels

Image
9/25/17 Confused about what dishwasher to purchase?  Most everyone is.  Once you decide on options such as color or stainless steel, handle or no handle, cleaning cycles, capacity, price range etc... then you learn there are different noise levels to consider. Do you want to have a dishwasher so quiet that you can't even tell it is running or do you mind if you can hear the dishwasher running while you are in another room? Dishwasher noise levels are rated in decibels or dB(a).  The lower the decibel number the quieter the dishwasher. A difference of just a few decibels may make a big difference.  Some say that a dishwasher that is four decibels higher is twice as loud. Many design factors contribute to how quiet or noisy a dishwasher will be. These factors include location, interior tub materials, pump systems, type of insulation and disposal unit. Dishwashers with a sound level below 45 decibels or dB(a) are considered exceptionally quiet.  So...

Round or Rectangular – How to Choose the Correct Dining Table Shape

Image
Shared from our friends at Universal Furniture When deciding on furnishing your home, one of the important choices that need to be made is the shape of the dining room table.  The table is an important part of the dining room – it is the heart of the space, setting the tone for social gatherings and family meals. Whether square, round or rectangular, we can help you decide which option fits best. Choosing a dining room table largely depends on the size and shape of the room it will inhabit. For a small space, a round or narrow rectangular table is best due to its small footprint within the room. If the room you are furnishing is square, choose a square or round table. Similarly, if the room you are furnishing is rectangular, choose a table that has a rectangular shape. Square tables don’t work well in rectangular rooms because seating on two sides of the table will be closer to the walls, crowding your guests. Another consideration is the number of people that will d...

How to Mix Old and New

9/3/17 Shared from our friends at Universal Furniture Modern & traditional. Vintage and contemporary. These may sound like strange bedfellows, but when it comes to mixing old and new, the only rule is there are no rules. Whether you’re moving into a historic home, bringing classic furniture into a new, modern construction, or mixing furniture styles themselves, here are a few examples of how to achieve that layered, sophisticated look of old and new… Vintage with a Modern Twist Combine contemporary furniture and accessories with older architectural elements. Create a seamless space within an old setting. Clean, sleek surfaces and straight lines contrast beautifully with the distressed texture of an aged brick wall and well-worn hardwood floor. Transcend Time Periods Avoid a style cliché with a good mix. A well-edited room looks as if its been collected over time. The Proximity collection mixes traditional style with casual yet distinctive details. Incorporating the...
