Eastern Idaho is a beautiful place to live. If there is one drawback, it might be the areas where the water hardness causes itchy skin, half-clean dishes, white shirts or blouses coming out of the washer looking more grey than white, residue in showers and so forth. To help combat part of the problem of hard water, General Electric 
has developed a unique technology they call "Smart Dispense". This technology allows the consumer to easily determine the hardness of the water in her home and then adjust the washing machine or dishwasher to dispense the proper amount of dishwashing or laundry detergent. These liquid detergents are stored in a resevoir within the dishwasher or front-load washer pedestal and then dispensed automatically during the appropriate time in the wash cycle. The Smart Dispense system is capable of storing up to two months of dishwashing detergent and up to six months of laundry detergent and fabric softener. Wow! What a great idea, designed to get clothes and dishes cleaner and save time for each individual user. Now that is "Imagination at Work"!

At Blacker's we get to see many different styles of furniture that come and go from our showroom floors. This time of year, when the mornings turn crisp and the days are shorter it's an exciting feeling because that's when everyone begins to think about indoor dining and the holidays that are just around the corner.
Introducing the new dining room set, Davenport. It's solid acacia wood is finished in rich brown stain and the clean-lined table has durable slate inset on the top for a natural embellishment.

Last week the energy generated over the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in Pocatello Idaho, could have easily lit up every home in the entire Snake River Valley for a month. I'm still breathless and humbled by how much was given from the community I live in. Not to mention my amazement at the sheer magnitude it took to build a house in a week. What a feat. Realistically though, for many of us it's just a feat to organize the traffic zones in our own homes.
Ty Pennington to the rescue!! Yes, the Extreme Makeover master, Mr. Pennington, has teamed up with Howard Miller (famous for clocks and curios) and designed many pieces to help organize our sewing rooms, entry ways, bedrooms, entertainment rooms and more. If we don't have it in stock at Blacker's, we can special order it in for you.
Below is a picture of the entry organizer. We have a couple of them in the Idaho Falls Upstairs Clearance Center marked down to $648. Originally $2049.95. What a steal and Ty's brilliance touched it. He's one cute carpenter.
