IF YOU’RE SEARCHING for a new look
and feel for your bedroom, you can opt
for the eclectic approach, finding individual items that suit your taste, or you
can look for a complete bedroom set,
for a consummate, coordinated feel.
Personally, I’ll take the latter, which is
why I’m excited about the four-piece
Grande Sleigh group from Universal.
Costco has a unique grouping you
won’t find elsewhere, with all pieces
featuring poplar solids and mahogany
veneers, fully finished backs and dove-tail-construction cedar-lined drawers
with full-extension ball-bearing glides.
• The Grande Sleigh Queen Bed
features a sleigh-style headboard and
footboard with decorative side rails,
four slats and adjustable center support
legs. (Size: 96" L x 68. 7" W x 54. 1" H)
• The Grande Sleigh Lingerie Chest
has five drawers and a felt-lined jewelry
tray. (Size: 27. 2" W x 18" D x 47. 5" H)
• The Grande Sleigh Collection
offers you two dresser configurations to
choose from: a six drawer chest, for
ample storage (Size: 45. 7" W x 20" D x
53. 5" H), or an Entertainment Dresser
with six generous size drawers plus two
open shelves for component storage.
(Size: 52" W x 20" D x 39" H)
• The Grande Sleigh Nightstand
features two drawers and cubby storage. (Size: 27. 2" W x 18" D x 29. 5" H)
As always, Costco gives you substantial savings compared with similar
groups sold elsewhere. But the look of
your new bedroom will be priceless. C
“A short-term renter won’t be bringing fur-
niture, so you’ll have to supply the furnishings
and accessories in every room,” says Smith.
“These don’t have to be the best, but they should
be sturdy, clean and of good quality.”
Another issue is upkeep. “Weekly cleaning
services may need to be added to your costs, as
well as some things you may have done around
the house yourself such as gardening and
pool maintenance,” says Smith.
Also, before taking that first rent check,
Smith advises calling your insurance agent:
“You’ll want to let your property insurer know
that the home is being rented. The premium
may increase slightly, but you’ll be protected if
there’s damage or a liability issue when the
house is being used.” C
