Modern Sofa Beds

Anybody out there who needs a winter revamp? We need a dash of color now in our homes as the cold winter has officially hit town.

One of the easiest way to update your place's ambiance is to bring in a furniture which quality and appearance matches the season. Think dark wood, leather, or fabric in warm, earth tones. Winter is also a time for those lazy rainy afternoons when the next best thing to do is to to curl up on your sofa bed with a mug of hot chocolate and a book. So how about bringing in a new sofa bed for your me-time pleasure?

Have a look at these contemporary sofa beds I found in Go Modern Furniture. Think how it feels to come home to them waiting for you after braving the cold winter wind, rain or snow blizzard.

Avoid Recreational Water Illnesses

My son's all time favorite activity is swimming. People give a big smile of approval when they see him confidently jump on the water or when he imitates adults floating, lying on their back. I'm thankful that so far, he has not suffered any serious Recreational Water Illnesses (RWI). We owe this largely to our ever-cheerful building watchman, Narsa, an Indian national.

Our brave, little floater.

Narsa regularly cleans the rooftop swimming - even on days nobody is using it (when the weather is too cold for a dip). Sometimes when we just feel like catching some fresh air, we go up and there is Narsa armed with pool cleaners. He vacuums, scrubs the tiles, sweeps the deck, and empty the strainer basket.

Earlier on, I wondered why the pool never smelled strongly of chlorine despite the regular cleaning. I learned that the smell is actually chloramines - a combination of chlorine, sweat, and urine. A perfectly clean and safe swimming pool should be odorless. 

Here are other steps to avoid Recreational Water Illnesses:

  a) The pool's bottom should be clearly visible.

  b) Shower before going into a pool

  c) Take small children on frequent bathroom breaks

  d) Wash hands after going to the bathroom

  e) The tiles of the pool should feel smooth not slimy

  f) Listen for the sound of working pool pump

  g) Avoid swallowing pool water
