Luxury Line Furniture Shopping
How do you avoid the high price of “high end” furnishings? Good question, but fortunately I do have an answer. First of all, never shop retail!! There are too many companies like ours that will sell the luxury lines at prices well below retail. If your taste in furniture draws your attention to the “higher end” lines you truly need to shop the web sites and check on closeouts, promotional, and discontinued items. Many websites have them and do publish pricing. You will still not be able to purchase as a dealer will, but the published price will be close. Then call a dealer and get their best price on the same closeout items. Talk about saving money on fine furniture. The one drawback is that you can’t order custom upholstery. You have to accept what they have, but the case goods are as shown in the intended finish.

Alzheimers Resident Design Ideas

In preparation for our recent proposal to Clarity Point Memory Care (America’s “State of the Art” Memory care facility) the designers at The Tamarind Group researched designing for the elderly and memory challenged. What a learning experience! The Alzheimer’s resident has very specific needs, some of which I have detailed below. These should be considered when bringing an elderly family member into the house or furnishing a room for them at a local facility or residence. Seating should have a certain seat back pitch (closer to 90 degrees), and sturdy arms. The pitch allows for an easy rise and decent, and the arms help the person push up to rise. Dining chairs should all be arm chairs. The Tamarind Group can provide these type chairs to homeowners as well as facilities. Retail stores are not the place to shop for these items.

What mattress is best for back pain?…Tempur-Pedic !
“Tempur-Pedic mattresses adapt to the curves of your body. That means that heavier areas, like your shoulders and hips, sink in further—while lighter areas sink in less. That keeps your spine straight—which is how it should be. With your spine more properly aligned, your body relaxes more fully—and you can experience your best night’s sleep.” The Tamarind Group now offers Tempur-Pedic mattresses, mattress toppers and pillows at the lowest prices in the area. A customer of ours just bought a king size Rhapsody and saved massive dinero! If you are interested in owning the best mattress for back pain then give the Tamarind Group a call at 850-424-3537 or email at Tom@thetamarindgroup.com. A better night’s sleep is only one call or click away. “> Read More →
