Are you looking to sand and refinish hardwood floors in Rye NY?

It's amazing what a difference refinishing your hardwood flooring can make. Your floors will look brand new and you even have the option to change the color. You can go light, dark, mid tones, or red tones. It can really give your home (or room) a whole new look.

If you have hardwood underneath your carpets, we can restore the beauty of the hardwood underneath. It's amazing what a big difference this can make in your home. And, believe it or not, it is usually less expensive to refinish your floors than to recarpet. Refinishing your wood floors will also improve your home's value and it will be easier to clean and maintain.

At Floor Coverings International, we are a shop at home service. We will bring the "store to your door" so that you can see the flooring and colors in your own home and lighting and color coordinate with your paint colors and decor. When it comes to sanding and refinishing, not only we will help guide you in color selections, but we will also test out a few colors for you on your floor. This is important because every floor is different, so it's best to see what the stain will actually look like on your own floors (rather than a tiny sample).

We offer both the standard refinishing process as well as a dustless sanding system. Dustless sanding costs a bit extra, but many customers feel it's worth it, especially if they have someone with allergies in their household. We offer both oil and water based polyurethane, and we will help you understand the pros and cons on each method.

We are proud of our work, but don't rely on our word...ask our customers! We have won the Angie's list Super Service award 2 years in a row, and you can even check our google reviews online. And, we will gladly provide with a list of over 30 customers to call.

Many times, homeowners dont realize how dirty their carpets or furniture are. For example, I was called to do a job by a Realtor in Rye, NY a few months ago. She was trying to sell her clients house but said that every time she showed the house to a potential buyer, they were distracted by a lingering, stale odor. The Realtor described it best, sort of a combination of pet odors and a general stale, stuffy smell.

The Realtor told me that the homeowners didn't think cleaning the carpets and furniture would make a difference, after all, it was the house that was for sale, not the furniture. After several weeks of trying to convince the homeowners to have the carpets and furniture cleaned, they finally agreed and I was called. The results were truly remarkable, not only did the smell go away, but the house looked and showed much better. The Realtor called me and said that she showed the house again to a couple that had seen it before it was cleaned. They said that the dirty furniture and carpeting, not to mention the smell, detracted from the home's charming potential.

Selling your house can be a difficult task, especially when the economy isn't in the best shape. When you show your house, you should show it in the best possible light. A lingering odor or dirty carpets can absolutely impact the impressions of potential buyers. Cleaning your carpets and upholstery is an affordable and very noticeable improvement you can make to your house.

You may even sell it faster and for more...

Did you hear the one about the guy who died, then arrived at his post-earth destination?

He was given a tour...first, he saw an enormous room, filled with long tables, benches on either side. The benches were filled with people who were trying to eat. Unfortunately each only had a spoon that was longer than their arms. It was not working, and they were unhappy. The man was told 'this is hell'.

The next room was pretty much the same scene: long tables, crowded benches, many people, with oversize spoons. He was then told 'this is heaven'. He was puzzled, until he realized the difference was these people were smiling...because they learned how to feed each other.

I LOVE THIS STORY> In a nutshell, it illustrates how we can grow and thrive as a species. OR-what could be the very death of us. Maybe that is why I am so excited about this program called Empty Bowls, it is win-win-win, and so very life-affirming.

Empty Bowls is an international project that got its start 22 years ago when John Hartom, an art teacher in Michigan partnered with his friend Lisa Blackstone, and got involved in a fund-raising campaign in their community. They wanted to create an event where artists and art students could participate, and make a difference.

His students made bowls to be used as serving pieces at a fund-raising meal of soup and bread. After they ate, and were told they could keep the bowls, patrons were silent. All were touched; many, in fact wept, and they all realized what they had on their hands. That was many events, and millions of dollars ago.

Today under the ImagineRENDER Group, Empty Bowl programs abound in at least a dozen other countries. While each community structures it to their own resources, they are all called Empty Bowl events, and the mission is singular: to raise money to end hunger and food insecurity.

This coming Sunday, January 29th, from 11:30am to 12:30 pm you can be apart of this fund-raising effort, right in your own backyard, when the Rye Presbyterian Church Youth Group hosts their Twelfth Annual Empty Bowls Event in the Churchs' Assembly Room.

The event is co-sponsored with the Clay Art Center in Port Chester, and all funds raised go to the Port Chester Interfaith Soup Kitchens, an organization of 3 soup kitchens and food pantries in Port Chester. In the last 11 years, close to $55,000.00 has been raised.

For the last month the twenty-plus members of the Youth Group (sixth through eighth graders) have worked with local artists and members of the community to make bowls for the event. Last count there were close to 300 that were made, glazed and fired at CAC.

Most bowls will fall between the $10.00-75.00 range, with soups courtesy of Corner Stone Caterers in Rye, with The Kneaded Bread of Port Chester providing the artisan breads. Come, and bring your friends. Buy a bowl, enjoy some soup, and support the community.

This is my bowl, made earlier in the month at the Clay Art Center. When it was done, we were asked to sign it...XOX, for love to whoever eats from it seemed exactly the right marking.

Got some creative ya-yas you need to work out? This Saturday, January 7th, from 1:30 to 4:00, explore your talents, and shake off some winter yuks-all for a good cause-at the 12th Anual "Make A Bowl Day" at Clay Art Center in Port Chester.

Eleven months of the year, the Clay Art Center is a vibrant, totally self-contained clay-centric community where artists and students of all ages bring their inner child to explore creating in clay.

During the month of January, the entire community has one purpose: make-glaze-fire bowls for this event. Going into this weekend they are at over 200 bowls.

Simply, Clay Art Center provides the materials and facilities, and the community provides talent and imagination. The public is invited to come to the studio, free of charge, to create a special bowl to donate. It's glazed and fired by the staff and artists of Clay Art Center, then brought to the church.

At the Empty Bowls event (to be held 1/29/12) bowls are purchased, then new owners are treated to a simple meal of delicious soup-in their new bowl- from Corner Stone Catering, served with fresh bread from The Kneaded Bread. The next post will go into more detail about the event (but here is the link for Empty Bowls info, if you absolutely can't wait).

After the event, the bowls are taken home, a tangible reminder that even with all that we have, there is always someone with an empty bowl.

All proceeds go towards supporting three local interfaith soup kitchens and food pantries. To date, over $55,000.00 has been raised by this event.

The Clay Art Center is located in the heart of Port Chester, at 40 Beech Street, in a complex adjacent to St. Don Bosco Church.

The event is free, and open to the public, including children 8 and over are welcomed with a supervising parent. Participants should wear casual clothes that they will not mind getting dirty. You can bring an apron if you'd like, or purchase one from CAC.

Reservations are not needed, but if you'd like further info, please contact Leigh Taylor Mickelson at leigh@clayartcenter.org, or 914.937.2047
