3 Simple and Easy Mother’s Day Gifts

Mothers are the heartbeat of a family. They keep everything running smoothly and on schedule. The home, kids; you name it, mom has it handled. This Sunday, West Coast Appliance and Furniture wants you to treat mom like royalty. She should feel like a queen for the day. But rather than buy a card from the grocery store, here are three gift ideas we know mom will love.

1.    Breakfast in bed

This is a classic which has been around for generations. Who doesn’t remember carrying orange juice and expertly toasted bread up to mom, who’s waiting patiently in bed? Some of you are master chefs and can whip up an all-star breakfast. If you haven’t mastered that level of cooking, don’t worry. If your breakfast is made with love, mom will enjoy it.

2.    Clean the house

Moms often take the reigns when it comes to cleaning the house and other chores. How nice would it be if you vacuumed, did the laundry, cleaned the bathroom...or all of the above? We know mom would go wild over a clean house. This Sunday, grab the mop, broom and duster, put on your rubber gloves and prepare to clean. After all, a clean house is a happy house -- and that makes mom happy, too!

3.    Homemade card

Let’s face it; greeting cards are expensive. This year, gather the kids and create Mother’s Day cards from scratch. Use your favorite paper and decorate with crayons, markers, stickers, glitter and anything else you can think of. Write a special, heartfelt message rather than relying on the pre-written ones that come in a card. This is a good project for the entire family, and we know mom will cherish her homemade card forever.

Mother’s Day is coming up quickly. If you haven’t thought of how to celebrate the moms in your life, we hope these ideas help and inspire you.

And to all the mothers out there: Happy Mother’s Day!

How You Can Have a Professional Kitchen at Home

Professional-grade kitchen appliances aren’t only for restaurant chefs or Food Network stars. Now the humble home cook can create meals in the same environment the pros use.

Frigidaire has a line of appliances which brings the power of professional into your kitchen. Cook tops, ovens and refrigerators -- they have it all. But what’s the one appliance every home chef needs to run their kitchen smoothly?

Dishwashers do our dirty work. Literally. They are the next runner in the relay race to which you pass the baton. Dishwashers are the unsung hero of the kitchen, but sometimes they cause too much trouble.

When the green light shines, it’s time to put away the dishes. How many times have you grabbed that first glass, flipped it over to place in the cabinet and spilled water all over your feet? It’s still wet! Shouldn’t everything in the dishwasher be dry once the cycle ends?

This is not an unrealistic expectation. Dishwashers wash and dry. Or at least they should. Fortunately we have what you need to avoid water splashing onto your feet or the floor.

Frigidaire’s professional dishwasher cleans dishes in one cycle, using four times more water to ensure

everything is clean. The icing on the cake (but not on your dishes!) is the EvenDry technology, so dishes come out totally dry and cabinet-ready.

You don’t have to waste another back-breaking second on your hands and knees wiping up water from allegedly dry dishes. Now your flatware can go from the dishwasher to the cabinet without even so much as the swipe of a towel.

Frigidaire makes professional appliances suitable for your home. Give your kitchen the star treatment and invest in commercial quality appliances.

Is Your Kitchen Artisanal, Minimal or Tech-Savvy?

Trends come and go. Some of us were around both times leggings were in fashion. And who doesn’t remember when every dish had bacon in it? Although it seems like that trend is still going on.

Kitchens also experience the ebb and flow of what’s trendy. Three kitchen trends have emerged in recent years: artisanal, minimal and tech-savvy. These styles developed as people’s tastes evolved. Each trend has its unique qualities. Do you know which one you like best?

Artisanal kitchens are all about the atmosphere. Warm finishes and traditional touches give off the classic vibe of the kitchens of yesteryear. An artisanal kitchen is handcrafted and heartwarming. It hearkens back to the warmth of our grandmother’s kitchen. The decor, cabinetry and appliances have an authentic look and appeal to our emotions. In these kitchens, you don’t just make meals; you make memories.

On the flip side, there’s the minimalist kitchen for those who prefer a sleek and clean look. This style has been unfolding for years. The overall design is contemporary, and minimalist kitchens use a lot of glass in their designs. One new innovation popular in many minimalist kitchens are appliances which disappear into the cabinetry.

Other kitchens mesh style with the latest technologies. Technology continually impacts kitchen design by making products easier to use. Appliances are faster and last longer. User interfaces blend current technology with kitchen gadgetry. What materializes from the mashup of home appliances and technology is a kitchen with an eye to the future.

Do you know which style suits you best? Maybe you like a little from each trend. The best part is you can create whatever kitchen your heart desires. Start with an artisanal vibe, sprinkle in a few minimalist glass accents and top it off with the latest technology. The final product will be the kitchen of your dreams.

The Right Way to Wash Wool

Spring is on the horizon. You can almost taste it through the recent rain and windy weather. The scales are beginning to tip and the upcoming forecast shows more sun than rain clouds.

Now is the time to use the remaining cold, rainy days to properly clean and store your winter clothes. For most of us, our wardrobe is cotton or polyester based. Wool is an underutilized winter fabric. Wool blankets are perfect for snuggling up by the fire and wool sweaters are a staple at the ski lodge. But when spring rolls around, wool is the last thing on your mind.

It’s time to pack up and store your winter clothes. Before doing so, you need to wash everything so it stays fresh during the off season. How do you go about washing a unique fabric such as wool?

Our Speed Queen laundry tip says it all. To refresh wool and retain the integrity of the fabric, put washable wool in a mesh bag on a gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry. And, you’re done! It really is that simple.

Where you wash your clothes is just as important as how you wash them. A Speed Queen washer is built to last longer and clean better. It spins each load as it drains, so no dirt is left behind on your laundry. Fresh and clean every time; Speed Queen has you covered.

It’s time to embrace spring! Wash your wool and store it. Warmer weather is on the way.
