Exactly what was described. I love it. Sturdy and better quality than the others I looked at. Excellent purchase. I recommend overstock safavieh.Read More
Sturdy, practical + comfort, glamour = love these!
I ordered two of these ottomans to use as seating/storage in our foyer. The creamy color, tufting and sleek finish are perfect for adding a touch of glamour to the entry while giving us the practicality needed for this area. They are very sturdy and very comfortable, plus they are light-weight enough to be moved easily into another room for extra seating when needed. The top lifts easily and the hinge stays open until you close it. If I had enough room, I would order two more!Read More

Accessorize your ottoman to increase its functionality as well as its style. Below, you'll learn how to accessorize an ottoman.
How to Clean a Leather Storage Bench
Keeping a fashionable leather storage bench in your family room or living room can give it that final touch and offer handy extra storage space. You can never go wrong with leather, and a leather storage bench offers some additional overflow seating or even a comfy leather ottoman. Like other leather furniture, leather storage benches require special care in order to extend their life. Chances are you'll want your leather storage bench to last a good while, and no one wants a stained or dirty piece of furniture. After you've acquired a beautiful leather upholstered bench, use these tips to make sure it is sprucing up your home for years to come.
How To Use a Storage Ottoman
If you're short on space, try adding a storage ottoman to the room. Whether you need storage in your living room, bedroom, or home office, this handy piece of furniture may just be the answer. They come in a number of shapes, sizes, textures, and materials so you can easily match them to any room's decor. Here are some tips on using a storage ottoman.
Tips on Making Leather Furniture Last
Leather furniture is a wise investment that pays off in style, class and comfort. Leather furniture can range from leather sofas and loveseats to ottomans and recliners. Your new leather furniture will beautify your home quickly. Regrettably, if it's not maintained, leather furniture can age quickly. Your furniture can go from terrific to tacky in a matter of years if it doesn't receive the proper care. Fortunately, there are some easy tips on making leather furniture last that are simple and effective.
How to Clean an Ottoman
It's easy to give living room ottomans a cursory, superficial cleaning, like simply running a vacuum cleaner over the surface; however, because ottomans are the object of much use by feet and shoes, they need an occasional deep cleaning. Follow these steps to clean your ottoman.
Ottoman Buying Guide
Ottomans are fun, functional pieces of living room furniture, and they go well beyond their modest size in completing the look of your home. At its most basic, an ottoman consists of a padded cushion, usually atop a wooden frame for resting your feet. Of course, there are countless variations on the basic theme. This ottoman buying guide gives you everything you need to know about how to buy an ottoman that will reward you and your living room again and again.
Best Additional Features for Coffee Tables
Don't ask what you can do for your coffee table; ask what your coffee table can do for you. Coffee tables are nothing if not multi-tasking furniture pieces that can accomplish a lot with a little. Trunk storage, magazine racks, drawers, shelving, hidden seating or even built-in ottomans are all possibilities, but beware of the busily tricked-out coffee table that includes all of these features. The message bears repeating: Think about the form and function of your coffee table. How will its design impact how you use it? The modern coffee table comes with plenty of extras, so choose carefully.
How to Use Ottomans for Coffee Tables
Everywhere you look, you'll see decor spreads that replace the living room's old, faithful coffee table with one or two ottomans. This relatively straightforward substitution can toss a few curve balls at would-be decorators unless they do their homework. Take a look below to learn how to use ottomans for coffee tables.
How to Sew an Ottoman Slipcover
Old, worn-out furniture often sticks around longer than preferred, creating some problems when it comes to redecorating a room. One common solution for keeping older sofas and chairs around that no longer match a living room color scheme or have too much wear and tear, is to create slipcovers using a sewing machine and new upholstery fabric. Slipcovers can be sewn for all types of furniture and if you are redecorating a room, you should attempt to update all furniture, including ottomans. If you are looking for an affordable way to keep your old ottoman around without disrupting your room's sense of style and coordination, then you might consider sewing your own ottoman slipcover.
How to Match an Ottoman and Chair
When you add new furniture to your living room, like an ottoman or accent chair, it's important that they coordinate with your already existing furniture. Much like coordinating clothing, matching different pieces of furniture is important for creating a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing room. When you're matching an ottoman with a chair, it's especially important to get a piece that matches or compliments the furniture that you already have, especially since these two items will sit in such close proximity to each other. Keep reading for tips on how to match ottoman and chair.
Tips on Coordinating an Ottoman with Your Living Room
An ottoman is a versatile piece of furniture that, when chosen and incorporated tastefully, can spruce up your living room, add function and tie various design elements together. How you coordinate an ottoman with your living room depends on factors such as your decorating taste, your living room theme, the size and style of your room, the existing furniture in your space and the personality you want the room to reflect. So, when choosing an ottoman, pick one that satisfies the criteria that matter to you the most.
Popular Styles of Sofas Loveseats and Ottomans

How to Wear Flats
When you need easy-to-wear shoes but you want to still look dressed up, flats are the perfect option. Originally inspired by flat ballerina shoes, flats now come in athletic styles, leather, and evening designs, to name a few. Versatile and comfortable, flats add style to any outfit. Here are a few tips for wearing your flats with different outfits.
An Introduction to Gliders
A new alternative to traditional rocking chairs is are gliders. With so many new furniture fads nowadays, it's hard to keep up with what's popular as well as practical. Gliders and ottomans are a new and upcoming piece of furniture fashion that accents and compliments any room's decor.

Necessary Living Room Furniture - Sofas
Take a good look at your living room furniture. Sofas and loveseats are a staple when it comes to the way your living room looks. Pair your sofa with a loveseat or ottoman, and your living room is well on its way to looking its best.

A closet is where we begin each day, and a messy one can easily start the morning off on the wrong foot. Can you find the right clothes for the day? When you find them, are they rumpled and misshapen or are they ready for you to wear? When your closet is organized, you can get ready to face the day without any of that stress. Follow the steps below for organized closet storage that sets a positive tone for your day.
Best Rooms for a Chaise
When you want to relax and read a book or lounge in front of the fire, a chaise is the perfect piece of home furniture for the job. The soft, curved backrest and extended footrest on a chaise makes it the ideal location to simply sit back and relax. Plus, the curved shape and customary leather or fabric upholstery of a chaise lounge adds an extra level of comfort you can't get anywhere else. Although the living room is probably the most popular location for your chaise, there is no reason why such a comfortable piece of furniture shouldn't be used in other rooms throughout your home. Here are some ideas beyond the living room on how to spread the comfort.

Missed an obvious step
by bruce_graham - 8/16/11 7:01 AM
In Reply to: Created bigger problems by Csutton72
In Part II above, the author goes down the wrong path by continuing to work on the device while it's still upside down. After removing the five screws, flip the device right side up, then simply lift the cover off. It's a tight fit and there's not much clearance, but if you lift the cover straight up, you'll be fine. It goes without saying that you have to unplug the power cord from the back of the device.
With the cover off, it's easy to follow how the CD is going into the machine and being ejected. In my case, there was just enough friction during the loading process to prevent the device from pulling the CD into the caddy completely, but I found that if I tapped the CD as it went in, this overcame the friction.

6 Superlative Easter Celebrations
Chocolate bunnies, a multitude of eggs, and oh-so-fabulous hats By Katrina Brown Hunt on Mar 10, 2014
Looking for some Easter pizzazz this year, beyond coloring some eggs or cooking up a ham? Here's where you can find the grandest of egg hunts, the most creative candy display and the flashiest, hat-raising parade in the land:
Most Popular Easter Sunrise Service: Red Rocks, CO
Thanks to the natural majesty of the surroundings, roughly 10,000 people attend the annual 6am Easter sunrise service at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, 15 miles west of Denver. While admission and parking are free, the sponsoring church asks attendees to donate non-perishable food items for its food ministry.
Biggest Egg Hunt: Coconut Creek, FL
About a half hour outside Fort Lauderdale, Coconut Creek's "Eggstravaganza," promises the biggest haul of eggs with its 60,000-plus eggs and multiple hunts. There are hunt zones staggered by age, as well as free food and bounce houses. If you register online, you can reserve your spot ahead of time.
(MORE: Find a kid-friendly hotel in Fort Lauderdale.)
Most Prestigious Egg Roll: Washington, DC
President Rutherford B. Hayes started the White House Egg Roll in 1878, and ever since lucky kids ages 12 and under have gathered on the White House lawn the day after Easter for egg-racing, stories, games and visits with an inside-the-Beltway Bunny. The event is free but there's a catch: you need to enter and win a lottery more than a month in advance.
(MORE: View a family trip plan: 4 days in Washington DC with kids.)
Most Creative Use of Candy: Westminster, MD
Just Born Inc.—the company that makes Peeps—does not offer factory tours but happily touts competitions where sweet-toothed artists make sculptures and dioramas featuring the brightly-colored marshmallow candies. This year's biggest looks to be 7th Annual Peep Show in Westminster, Maryland, where you might see marshmallow-chick-rendered quilts, dresses and giant Big Birds. The Peep Show runs April 11-21, 2014.
Largest Chocolate Bunnies: Westwood, NJ
At Conrad's Candy in Westwood, New Jersey, they sell long-eared chocolate critters standing more than two feet tall and weighing a whopping seven pounds. You can also buy smaller bunnies—just 4 or 5 inches high—who drive chocolate motorcycles, sports cars and rowboats. Small bunnies start at $4.25.
Most Fabulous Hats: Easter Parade & Bonnet Festival, New York City, NY
The legendary parade that inspired Irving Berlin to write "Easter Parade" is still a classic event to see and be seen, with fabulously clad participants known to wear live rabbits, clowns, and even snakes. From 10am to 4pm, Fifth Avenue from 49th to 57th Street closes for the parade. A prime viewing spot is near St. Patrick's Cathedral, at 50th Street.

From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Yotsuba is the name given by moot to his unnecessary attempt at an imageboard.
It began as a fork of the Futallaby imageboard software, which was itself a fork of the Futaba imageboard software. It is now completely unrecognizable, having been so heavily modified by moot. Some of the changes were made for security, such as blocking images which contain malware (as well as lots of harmless things). Other changes were made for convenience, such as the floating post box, the thread watcher, the catalog, and a slew of other features which were already available in a plugin used by everyone.

Pumpkin pie with a little kick
The best thing I had to eat on Thanksgiving was a large wedge of pumpkin pie with vanilla ice cream on top. How about you?

Things We believed
The other night I was talking to a couple of friends about the curious beliefs we once had, when we were kids in the country.

I don't know who or what he is, but thanks to my great japanese translating skills it says "water recycling center" under it.
It's a man hole cover. This is a sewage processing plant in Shinagawa, Tokyo.

reseed lawn now? in md in november?
Our decking will be finished Friday and the decking contractor said we should reseed now and not in the Spring? Anyone else do this? We have already had frost. Should I reseed and lay hay on top until the Spring? Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
If its less than a thousand feet, I would suggest using cheap fake grass as a cover till Spring. Straw will likely just get buried in the top soil.
Our deck was done a few weeks ago, we got a semi-final grade done, everything too wet for a good final grade so we seeded and laid down that green erosion control curlex, gonna wait until spring (and after plaster) for a final grading and seeding. I'm pretty sure all the seed was washed away last week in Sandy so its a crap shoot if anything starts to grow. The curlex will do a decent job of keeping the dirt from moving around too much.

Lily Tomlin regrets not being able to save her childhood home in Detroit.
"My neighborhood was pretty much destroyed after the 1967 riots. I always kind of hoped that if I ever got famous, that apartment building might be saved because I grew up there," Tomlin, now 72, says. "But it was torn down."
The Tomlin family — headed by her father, Guy, a factory worker, and her mother, Lillie Mae, a nurse's aide — lived on the second floor of the building. It was there that she and her younger brother, Richard, began acting out to make each other laugh.
"We would take the hose from our mother's vacuum and lower it out the window. It was the same color as the building's walls. We would wait for one of the bullies in our school to walk by, and then we'd talk into the hose, saying stuff like 'Get out of here or we're going to kick your ass.' The kid couldn't see the hose, so he'd stand there and wonder where the voice was coming from while we were upstairs laughing our heads off."
It was that same type of mischief that later inspired one of her most famous characters, the precocious 5-year-old Edith Ann on the wildly popular, late-'60s TV comedy Laugh-In. Another character, the Tasteful Lady, was a creation from Tomlin's days as a student at Wayne State University.
"I was in a variety revue and I offered to be this character, a parody of all of the rich society matrons I had observed in Grosse Pointe," she says. "It was a huge success, and suddenly, I was performing it all over. That gave me the courage to drop out of college and move to New York to go into show business."
After stints as a waitress, Tomlin began getting nightclub gigs as a stand-up comic. Instead of rattling off jokes like her contemporary Joan Rivers, Tomlin created characters — Judith Beasley, Susie Sorority and telephone operator Ernestine — who made wry observations about the world around them. They've all been part of Tomlin's stage persona for decades.
"I have such a great repertoire of characters, it's hard to add new ones, so I'm always adding new ideas instead," she says.
Tomlin and her band of personalities appear at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts Sunday. "Now tell me, so I don't get this wrong," she says, "when I come out onstage, am I in Kansas or Missouri?"
"Missouri," I tell her, warning her not to make the mistake that Bernadette Peters made at the Music Hall in the 1990s. She came out of the wings to rousing applause and enthusiastically announced, "Hello, Kansas!" The auditorium fell silent. Some even booed.
"Oh, God," Tomlin says, "I don't want to do that!"
Her Kansas City performance, she says, "will be a compilation of everything, from new material to bits from the characters that people really seem to love." She adds: "I'm using a lot of video in my shows now. It's very satirical stuff that mostly makes fun of me.
"My characters like to comment on current issues. Ernestine, for example, has had a lot of jobs since her days at AT&T. She's worked for United Health, done a few commercials for WebX. I've updated her look a bit with a snazzier wardrobe and updated hairstyle. Same lady, but she looks fabulous! She likes to be where she can get media attention, you know, to express her opinions on things. How about a broadcast from the Occupy Kansas City site?"
A brilliant idea, if it hasn't been torn down.

Did your friends all decide to have kids without you? Are you a new parent suddenly finding yourself going to several first birthday parties in a row? (Until I had a son of my own, I admit I dreaded these parties, and spent them talking to the other childless adults in the room about something other than diapers.) And then there's this question: What do you buy a 1-year-old? As an obsessive reader, I've always tried to give books to kids…but you can't just buy any old picture book for a kid that age. Here are some book-buying tips we toddler parents are probably too polite to tell you directly:
1. Ask Before Buying The Classics
I have personally exchanged two copies of Goodnight Moon, and I still have three sitting on my kid's shelf. Next to three copies of Brown Bear. Don't get me wrong—these are fantastic books, and I'm super happy someone gave them to us. But a simple text or call to ask, "Do you guys have The Very Hungry Caterpillar yet?" would not be unwelcome. We don't care if you ruin the surprise. If you're shy, maybe consider another book by those same authors.
2. Go With Your Favorite Book
Chances are, your personal favorite growing up isn't necessarily the most obvious choice, but if it was good, it is probably still a big hit with kids. I have great memories of my mother reading my sister Sandra Boynton's The Going to Bed Book, so I've given it more than once.
3. Board Books And Peekaboo Games Are King
At 1, these babies-becoming-toddlers are all about touching, grabbing and trying to do everything themselves. They want to turn the pages back and forth over and over, and they can't do that with regular books. My son also loves to "read" to himself, and he often goes for plotless books devoted to categories of things, like Roger Priddy's First 100 Animals or DK Publishing's My First… board books. They're no literary masterpieces, but all those photos never get old. Also, any books that involve flaps, fur, sliding doors, etc., will keep a kid entertained for minutes. And believe me when I tell you that "minutes" is a long time for toddlers. Just don't be surprised if the next time you visit your gift recipient, the book is torn up and not in resalable condition. That just means it was well-loved.
4. Save The Beautiful, Prize-Winning Picture Books for Later
I was thrilled to receive the likes of Make Way for Ducklings at my baby shower, and I had a lot of fun reading my son witty books like Oliver Jeffers' Stuck when he was very young…and not yet able to tear things. For now, I've stored the book jackets on a high shelf, and the books themselves just serve as part of the game "pull everything off the shelf right before bed." The pages, as I've mentioned, don't lend themselves to toddler hands, and my 1-year-old will sit through exactly two pages of imaginative storytelling before wandering off or grabbing the book and slamming it shut on me. (Everyone's a critic!) So sure, you can buy these for your friends' kids to have something to look forward to, but I'd throw in a small, simple board book for immediate enjoyment.
5. Make Sure It's Good
Please, please, take a moment to imagine whether your friend will like to read this book to their child 5,000 times. Even in the category of short board books, there are not-so-great (and, ugh, SO sappy) writers out there. Inevitably, the book your friend can't stand will turn into their kid's favorite—they have an innate sense of how to torture us, you know—and they will have an opportunity to resent you every night for the next two years.
I don't want to seem ungrateful. We parents love getting books as presents. Just remember that you have the power to be the friend we think of fondly after Junior's tucked into bed and we're finally pouring ourselves a glass of wine, with maybe a few minutes to pick up a book with no pictures at all. Our hero.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 3 nights
Enjoy all of the beauty and excitement that the Adirondacks in winter have to offer while staying in your own cozy log sided cabin. Grill outside on your charcoal BBQ, make s'mores in the stone fire pit, take a refreshing three mile walk through the quaint Hamlet of Wells and around Lake Algonquin or just curl up with a good book in your warm and comfy cabin.
Newly constructed with all new appliances and furnishings. One bathroom with tub and shower and washer/dryer. Fully furnished modern kitchen with stainless electric stove, microwave and refrigerator. Living room with 32" flat screen TV with built in DVD player, Dish Network, WiFi and furnished with unique Adirondack style furniture.
Located in the heart of the southern Adirondacks, Ruby Hill is 15 minutes from Oak Mountain Ski Area , 30 minutes from Gore Mountain and 20 minutes from Lapland Lake Cross Country Ski Area. There are also numerous trails nearby for snowshoeing, hiking and cross country skiing.
If snowmobiling is your thing, you can unload your sled at your cabin, ride our private trail a quarter mile and connect with the hundreds of miles of the New York State Trail System. You never have to load it back on the trailer until your stay is over.
We provide an ideal cabin for those who want to experience an Adirondack getaway in the woods with the convenience of nearby winter activities. An experience that will keep you coming back year after year.
If your looking for a relaxing, off the beaten path getaway this is def the place to go. Gerry and Susan were wonderful hosts with lots of great ideas and suggestions for places to eat, go hiking or just hangout by the fire. The cabin was emaculate and everything you could want/need was provided. We will def be coming back.
Thank you for a great time,
Jackie & Pat
My wife and I spent three days in one of the Ruby Hill cabins on Lake Algonquin in Wells, NY, and it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end.
1. Gerry (one of the owners) was responsive to both emails and calls during the weeks before our visit, and made sure the door was open and light on when we arrived late Friday night.
2. The cabin itself was primo: clean, modern, and yet still quaint, with comfy furnishings, a full kitchen, and many tasteful decorative touches. (No A/C, but plenty of fans). My fav spot was the big screened in front porch, where I watched the day beginning each morning. Look at the pics and you'll see what I mean about the lovely decor.
3. There was lots to do, including canoeing/kayaking on the lake (boats and life jackets provided free), hiking nearby trails (hand-carved walking sticks and maps provided), and building an outdoor campfire in the huge stone fire pit (marshmallow holders provide too, it you can believe it!)
We were especially grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with family members we hadn't seen in years, and for Gerry and Susan's tactfulness in letting us have our space. The weekend in Ruby Hills cabin gave us an opportunity to make lasting memories with three of our young nieces and nephews (ages 10-13) who will always remember defying death (LOL) on Auger Falls, learning to kayak on Lake Algonquin, and telling stories around a raging bonfire that last night.
We WILL be back!
This was our first time in Adirondacks and we can't wait to come back. The cabin is well maintained and exactly as pictured. The owners are very nice and they provide kayaks and canoe. There's also a fire pit for roasting marshmallows and hotdogs. Beautiful cabin and great owners! A+++++++++!
My daughter, my sister and I had a wonderful long weekend at Ruby Hill Cabins. Our only regret is that we didn't have more time to spend here. The owners are very friendly, accommodating and responsive. The cabin is so incredibly clean and bright and the perfect combination of rustic charm and comfort - just like the pictures. We loved the screen porch and the fire pit. The surrounding area is fantastic - so much to explore. We had wonderful hiking and kayaking adventures. I could spend the rest of my life in the Adirondacks and not see and do all that I would like to experience! Thanks so much for having us and we look forward to coming back again soon!
The cabin was beautiful and a wonderful place to stay. Very clean and had everything you can think of needing for a long stay! Also, it has beautiful décor and plenty of space. Perfect location to the beach, not to forget they have kayaks and canoes! I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a great place to stay, very reasonable pricing and wonderful owners :)
Ruby Hill Cabins represent all that is great about the Adirondacks. Peaceful, serene setting, beautifully appointed. Owners; Gerry & Sue are the perfect hosts they really know how to welcome their guests and make you feel right at home. These cabins are fully equipped, just as advertised, there is nothing you could want for.
