4 things to know about reclaimed wooden furniture

It is important to respect the origin and unique characteristics of natural wood when you think of buying any kind of reclaimed wooden furniture. Reclaimed wooden furniture is in itself a lifestyle statement. It is something to be treasured for its raw beauty and value. 

Reclaimed wood table legs, sleek dining tables, and other such times are some of the best ways to beautify and decorate your home. Here are a few things that you should know about reclaimed wooden furniture:

New and old make a good match
Don’t hesitate to try reclaimed wooden furniture, especially if you also have modern décor and furnishings in your house. Modern furniture items, interspersed with reclaimed, rustic pieces like reclaimed wood table legs, clean-lined casegoods, sleek dining tables, or simple beds not only look aesthetically pleasing but also bring warmth to the entire space.                                                                                      

It is eco-friendly
A huge plus of reclaimed wooden furniture is that it is eco-friendly. By choosing reclaimed furniture, you are helping the environment save itself as there is no new logging. Not only does it beautify the place, but it also prevents the need to cut more trees. Plus reclaimed wood does not usually need chemically charged paints—which have many negative impacts on the environment—to look appealing.                        

It is different and beautiful
Because reclaimed wood has weathered over the years, it gives a unique look that you do not usually see in newer wood. It is always better and recommended to appreciate the differences of every piece of reclaimed wood before purchasing it. Wooden grains, pitting marks, knots, small patches, mineral deposits, and small nail holes are some of the few characteristics that set reclaimed wooden furniture apart.            

It is full of character
Old wood is strong and durable. Reclaimed wooden furniture has character, and it cannot be imitated. Furniture made from reclaimed wood becomes the topic of conversation wherever it is placed. 

                                                                                                   

These are some things to know about reclaimed wood furniture. It has natural coloring and doesn’t conform to any specific design.

  • 5 fantastic Android phone options

    There are plenty of brands such as Samsung, OnePlus, Motorola, Google, TCL, Sony, and others offering Android-powered phones. You can select a handset that suits your needs and fits in with your budget as they are priced from $1,800 to a little under $500. In case you’ve been wanting to switch from another OS or are transitioning to the world of smartphones belatedly, here are some of the best Android smartphones to check out.

    Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
    One of today’s top smartphone companies overall, Samsung has a lot to offer in terms of camera performance, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra proves the same. The S22 Ultra carries on the legacy of the Note with the S Pen now integrated into the device. On the flipside, the Galaxy S22 Ultra still has battery life issues compared to its predecessors. The phone can survive for 10 hours on a single charge, but in the 120Hz adaptive mode, it only lasts for about 8 hours —far less time than some rivals. Using the 30x zoom lens produces high-quality photos. It also comes with an incredible AMOLED display.

    Google Pixel 6 Pro
    The best smartphone currently offered by Google is the Pixel 6 Pro. It’s Google’s newest flagship device, with a big 6.7-inch QHD+ screen that has a quick 120Hz refresh rate. Additionally, it features the brand-new Tensor system-on-chip, made by Google. With a telephoto lens that has 4x optical zoom, the Pixel 6 Pro has the greatest camera yet seen on a Pixel device. On this phone, Android 12 shines well. This is one of the most affordable flagship phones available right now, with a 128GB model beginning at $899. 

    OnePlus 10 Pro
    As opposed to Samsung, OnePlus offers a user experience free of advertisements and adware while also delivering cutting-edge features such as adaptive 120Hz panels and reverse wireless charging. The phone costs $899, which is comparable to Google’s flagship. The OnePlus 10 Pro is an excellent choice for landscape photography because of its 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Additionally, the renowned camera manufacturer, Hasselblad’s natural color-tuning makes images and movies look realistic. The OnePlus 10 Pro supports both Warp Charge Wireless 50 and SuperVOOC 65. As a result, you can charge your phone from 0% to 100% in just 29 minutes. 

    Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G
    The top flip phone on the market right now is the Galaxy Z Fold 3. The Z Fold 3 is the ideal phone and tiny tablet combination thanks to the addition of S Pen compatibility and an IPX8 water-resistant build. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 has a remarkably strong and quick 5G connectivity in both its smartphone and tiny tablet modes. With a 120Hz refresh rate, Samsung’s beautiful AMOLED technology, and exclusive S Pen functionality, the huge 7.6-inch primary display is gorgeous. You get water resistance, triple back cameras, a 10MP front camera, and an unusual 4MP under-display camera. You can easily make it through a whole day on the 4,400mAh battery. 

    Google Pixel 6a
    For a phone that costs less than $500, the Pixel 6a shoots excellent photographs. Additionally, the Pixel 6a and 6a Pro are both powered by the same Tensor processor, making them compatible with AI-powered software such as on-device translation and intelligent photo editing. It has a 6.1-inch OLED screen with Android 12 software. The 12MP sensor is large and would probably allow in more light while using the ultrawide angle lens. The main camera is still equipped with a 12.2MP sensor. But there’s no need to wait any longer if you’ve been looking for an excellent camera phone at a great price.

  • 5 tips to choose a pediatrician

    How tough can it be for new parents to find a doctor for their child? Not much, right? After all, there are plenty of qualified pediatricians out there. But at times, the sheer availability of choices can make it difficult to select a good doctor. On other occasions, you may not know how to make the right choice for your child. So what’s a new parent to do?

    Here are five tips to help you choose the right pediatrician.

    • Ask your friends, neighbors and other family members for referrals. Recommendations from a trusted source are one of the best ways to find a doctor for your child. You can also ask your primary care provider or ob-gyn to recommend a few names of good pediatricians in town.
    • Research additional information about the referrals. Don’t just take anyone else’s word about a doctor. Check educational background, experience, and certifications for each name on your list. Also, find out which of these pediatricians work with your health insurance provider.
    • Make a list of your top three choices. Schedule an appointment with each of these pediatricians to assess your comfort level with them. You don’t want to wait until you need to see your pediatrician after your baby is born and have a bad experience. Gauge your comfort level with each of the doctors on your list and ask them questions you have in mind about their practice.
    • Observe the staff behavior, cleanliness in the clinic and overall vibe of a pediatrician’s practice. Do you like what you see? Along with your comfort level with the doctor, it is also important that you feel at ease with the staff also. After all, they are the ones who will handle your telephone inquiries; schedule your appointment and process payments. So, find a doctor who passes your selection criteria with good grades.
    • Do a final check and look for any malpractice suits associated with your top choice. Look for irregularities in their practice as gleaned from online reviews.

    With some careful considerations, you can easily find a doctor who will provide the best medical care to your child.
