How many President’s can you name? This President’s Day, it might be a good time to fire up the Wikipedia and review a little presidential history. You can probably go back to at least FDR before things get a little faulty. And that time before and after Abe Lincoln? That’s a little foggy. Still you don’t have to know all the presidents to respect the office and that is what President’s Day is all about. It’s also about terrific bargains. You can’t really blame the automaker and retail stores. They are doing what they can to be successful. If you ran a business and knew that your customers had an extra day off for shopping, you’d probably be throwing a sale, too! Perhaps this President’s Day is the holiday where you can say “So long” to that old sofa and bring in a new comfy couch.
The sofas in our living rooms would definitely qualify as “high traffic” areas. Even if it is just you using that sofa, you’ll find that over the years you’ve created quite the “dent.” Add in significant others, kids and pets and it’s clear that couch has taken a beating. You can try to reupholster to cover up some of the stains, but that can’t help with the springs, cushion or frame. It might just be time to let it go. Which brings us back to President’s Day and all those great furniture bargains to be had. Maybe along with a new sofa you might consider rearranging your entire family room. As long as your flatscreen isn’t anchored to the wall, why not switch things up?
