From KFDA, news channel 10 in Amarillo, TX: A guide to holiday shopping, and who doesn’t need that? http://www.newschannel10.com/story/36774451/holida... by newschannel 10 staff.
In that segment, the toy “Genie Palace” is mentioned. It comes with Shimmer and Shine dolls.
Speaking of shimmer and shine, how will you get your house to sparkle in the New Year?
Make your home shine with flooring, specifically new quality carpet and flooring. You can buy this at Gowdy Flooring in Amarillo, who has large inventories of flooring types that can make any style and budget happy.
When it comes to quality carpet and flooring, we’ll give you a one-stop-shopping experience!
For this post, we’ll specifically discuss natural stone (granite, marble, travertine), because it adds architectural interest, unique style (every stone tile has a slightly different pattern, so there’s no such thing as duplication) and can be a great way to add value to your home.
A lot of people think of breezy castles and windy hallways when they think stone flooring, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, today you’ll see it in sunny farmhouse kitchens and serene baths. Just add textures and warm colors to warm up your space. A brief color course: red, yellow, orange and beige or cream are on the warm side of the color wheel, while blue, green and gray tend to gravitate to the cool side of the color wheel. Keep in mind however, that it also depends upon the shade; for instance, lime green can be a little warmer, because it’s mixed with yellow, but kelly green, which is mixed with blue, can be really cool.
Stone tiles are hard, durable and easy to clean. Sweep often using a soft-bristled broom, so dirt doesn’t scratch the stone tiles. If you use a vacuum, be sure to switch the setting to bare floors, to avoid the rotating brushes from pummeling the textured surface of the stone tiles, which can cause harm. Wet mop once a week, but never use ammonia, general household detergents, waxy shine-promoting cleaners, or bleach. Rather, use all-natural PH-balanced ones, or better yet, contact your flooring retailer for a manufacturer-approved one.
