Winter can be a magical time of year, with sparkling snow, crackling fires, and cozy gatherings with family and friends. It’s also a time when the days are short, and the weather is cold and gray. Winter presents an opportunity to slow our pace or hibernate. Generally, home is where we will spend most of our time. It’s vital, then, to craft a winter wonderland by making your home warm and inviting during the winter months. Don’t allow the word ‘craft’ to intimidate you. These projects are easy and can double as a family bonding activity. If you aren’t the do-it-yourself type, most of these products can purchased online if desired, but where’s the fun in that?

Quite often I hear it being said about businesses, “They don’t do things like they used to.” Meaning that they wish the values of the past were currently being upheld in the present. Values such as honesty, integrity, and quality work. I’m sure you would agree that these are difficult to find in the world today. However, the family-owned business of Jeter’s Carpet & Flooring has been upholding these values since 1968 when father and founder, Jim Jeter, began. 

Passed down from elder sister Kim in 2021, James, son of Jim, along with his sister Jade are current owners. Aunts, uncles, sisters, and close friends have all been a part of continuing Jim’s legacy; They uphold the reputation of being hard workers who take pride in a job well done. James says their continual goal is to "uphold their values as a family-owned business." That is precisely what they are doing. 

A review left by Dawn perfectly summarizes why you should pick Jeter’s for your next project. “We had flooring installed in our new addition back in August. A problem popped up in December. We called and they sent James. He came out and diagnosed the problem, and then went about fixing it for us, even though the problem did not originate with the initial installation. In other words, it wasn't their fault. No argument, no "it's not our fault," just fixed it. <sigh> Great customer service is so refreshing!” Why would you trust anyone else with your carpet and flooring needs?

Was it Winnie the Pooh who said, “Organizing is something you do before you do something”? Regardless of who said it, it makes sense. Many of us have hectic schedules. Dealing with clutter can cost us time and money.

Look around your home. Do you see areas where more organization would benefit you and your family? You may be asking yourself the question, “To whom do I turn for a solution?”

Well, the answer is simple – Closets by Design of Central Virginia. But when you hear the name, don’t think just closets, says Hugh Toland owner of the Central Virginia franchise of the California-based Closets by Design.

These folks do much more than closets. Regardless of what room or area of your home needs it, let the professional consultants at Closets by Design help you to enjoy more organization in your life.

To me, this is the most beautiful and comforting season of all. Just picture yourself–in your house–and it’s fall. The leaves have started to change; it’s in the fifty-degree temperature range, and you’ve got the fire going as you sit on the couch underneath a chunky blanket watching your designated “cold weather” movie. Now, pause yourself in this scene. Is one of the things completing this picture a scent? Perhaps cinnamon, chai, vanilla, pumpkin spice, or whatever makes your house smell like a home. Now is the time to start the preparations!

Spring is almost here, which means summer is just around the corner! If you’re outdoorsy like me, you probably love spending summer months engaging in activities like hiking and kayaking. While that’s a great way to spend a weekend, we know that coming with the warmer temps will also be the cookouts and gatherings with family and friends. So, how can we make our homes comfortable and inviting while bringing inside touches of the outdoors?

If you yearn for a return to the days when folks took pride in their work and were constantly striving to become and remain the best in the business; if you long for that time when the term “work ethic” had true meaning, and when the customer truly came first, then you’ll be delighted to find those days are still a reality at Air Force One HVAC Controls, serving the entire Metro Richmond area.

To truly come to know and appreciate the Air Force One difference, you need to meet the guys who run the business. Not only are Jeremy Gray and Jack Harrell, the co-owners of the company, a breath of fresh air, but they are, in many ways, a different breed. You could, perhaps, call them a throwback to the days of yore.
