Western Appliance is closing the Santa Cruz store on Soquel Avenue March 17. (Dan Coyro/Sentinel)
SANTA CRUZ -- Western Appliance will close its Santa Cruz store at 902 Soquel Ave. on March 17, a move that coincides with the retirement of manager Dale Burdick, whose father began selling televisions some 60 years ago.
"It's about time for me to hang it up," said Burdick, 65, who stayed home this week to fight the flu. "I hope to enjoy life."
Currently, the store is manned by "five of us," he said.
A graduate of Holy Cross and Oregon State University, he was a teen when he began working for his father and spent his entire career in the appliance business.
His father Hal, a ham operator who served in the Navy, settled in Santa Cruz after the World War II. He worked for Thompson Radio on Soquel Avenue, bought the business in 1947, and renamed it Burdick's. He saw an opportunity with the startup of KSBW-TV.
"We put a TV in the front window," recalled Burdick. "There would be crowds out front, and the only thing on the TV was a test pattern."
His father bought and remodeled 902 Soquel Ave., opening Burdick's Television and Appliance in 1955, then built an 11,000-square-foot store at the same address in 1974, demolishing the old store to provide parking.
Burdick's serviced televisions when they were expensive to buy but that changed when the cost to buy a new model became less than the cost of repair.

Milltown, WI (PRWEB) January 31, 2014
Greatmats, an online dealer of specialty flooring, has introduced an artificial tile for indoor athletic activities such as soccer. Tiles are interlocking puzzle tiles with a dense EVA foam backing that provides cushion for activities.
Artificial Turf Tiles are designed for heavy traffic in homes or commercial facilities. The tile measures 18.5" x 18.5". They are 3/4" thick.
Turf tiles are designed with interlocking edges that allows for a quick installation. Because the tiles interlock, they require no adhesives or tape to install. The foam tiles are lightweight which means they are easy to transport to various locations or to bring along if the user decides to move. Elite tiles are waterproof so they can be used in damp basements. They are designed to lay directly over any hard, flat surface such as concrete.
Unlike some types of turf type flooring, these foam tiles provide a cushioned surface that is specifically designed for fatigue relief and impact attenuation.
For wall-to-wall installations, the tiles can be simply cut with a sharp utility knife and a straightedge to cut along.
Greatmats provides an easy-to-use online room designer that allows customers to create their room layout to scale and to determine the number of floor tiles they will need for their area by simply typing in the dimensions.
About Greatmats: Headquartered in Milltown, WI, Greatmats is a leading online dealer of residential and commercial specialty flooring options. Greatmats is 100% solar powered and has been named one of Inc magazines top 500 fastest growing sites three years in a row. They hold a Triple-A rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Its difficult to talk about the roles of men and women when it comes to home decorating without risking a 25-years-to-life sentence for political incorrectness.
Many men are the chefs in the family and want the kitchen designed to accommodate their wants. Many wives are the entrepreneurs in the family and need a personalized office for their business activities or financial management.
Men can be the gardeners, women can be the do-it-yourselfers. Or maybe shes the one who clears the decks and shuts everyone else up when a Kentucky basketball game is on TV.
Happens all the time.
But when home builder and designer Rob Osborne was asked to discuss What Men Want in terms of home redesign and remodeling, it was necessary to make some assumptions and give in to generalizations for which well almost certainly be criticized.
Osborne runs Details Consulting Group (www.detailsconsultinggroup.com), and has been a custom home builder for more than 20 years. He has worked with hundreds of thousands of customers and has seen trends cycle in and out. What he has found is todays men want to be involved in more of the decision making, and certainly the budget, of the project.
But hes also getting more involved in some of the design details, Osborne says, and that can include decisions about the kitchen, master bathroom, exterior of the house and still, and always the finished basement.
Most of the men Ive worked with dont care too much about the color plan, he says. They may, he says, take an interest in architectural details like, say, the crown moldings but mostly they defer to the woman on those decisions.
However, the kitchen is increasingly falling into the male realm. Most of todays home designs include a wide open floor plan with the kitchen integrated into the great room, Osborne says. Its more than just preparing Tuesday night dinner for the family. Its part of the entertaining process.

The Washington Post
Decorator, textile designer and blogger Lauren Liess was the guest last week on the Post's Home Front online chat. Here is an edited excerpt:
Q: I live in a late-1950s hexagon-shaped ranch house. What I loved about this house was the vaulted wood ceilings, except for the fact that they are really dark. I have both limited natural light and indoor lighting. I had several painters look at the ceilings, and no one would touch them because they feared if I painted them a light color, eventually the stain would bleed through the paint and would not be worth the cost involved. So I gave up! I would welcome your input as to how to bring this home into 2014.
A: Making this decision really depends upon your personal style, but I would consider having the beams sanded down (so that the dark stain is removed) to reveal the natural wood. You could have the beams hand-scraped for a look with some texture and patina. It's what we did in our home, and I absolutely love it. Once the old red/brown stain was removed, our home was instantly lightened. Painting in a lighter color would also be a possibility, but I would do this only after sanding. It took our team three to four days just to do the sanding in our house.
Q: What do you think really defines your style, and how can I achieve a similar vibe -- most likely on a smaller budget than most of your clients? Any areas worth the extra splurge?
A: My style is sort of relaxed, natural and collected. As cliche as it sounds, I love to mix old and new pieces and a little bit of quirk into my designs. To achieve a similar vibe, you could use seagrass rugs (really inexpensive, and they're one of my favorites) to define a space. From there you could layer in mostly neutral furnishings, but maybe pick a piece or two for some great pattern. I hang curtains from the ceiling and love using natural woven roman shades. Home Depot and Lowe's sell nice matchstick roman shades that can work. They're best kept stationary, as over time they can wear out. I love using a mix of pillows in fabrics that the client absolutely loves and would say it's a great place to splurge. A great sofa is another splurge-worthy piece. You can use simple end tables and case goods. Lighting can be fairly basic, but find one really special piece or a great pair of lamps. Finally, layer in original artwork and accessories that you might find at flea markets or thrift stores. I'm always on the hunt for great buys, and it doesn't have to be expensive to be amazing.
Q: I love how you have designed spaces with whites and neutrals. It seems that most pictures I like that have white spaces also have great architectural details such as exposed beams and wood windows that can be painted black. I think that is why my eyes are drawn to those rooms. I am afraid to go white because I don't want the room to look sterile. Other than adding new architectural details, how can I make a new white space warm and cozy?
A: You can make a white space feel cozy by adding layers and lots of textures. Natural elements instantly warm up a space. Think baskets, warm wood finishes, natural woven rugs, bamboo and matchstick shades. Also, artwork and accessories with lots of patina and age work wonders. Swap out a newly framed print with an old oil painting and a space completely changes.
Q: Can you offer some suggestions on making my living room feel not so dark? All the furniture is dark to medium wood (coffee table, server chest, end tables, etc.), and there's a large, brown leather sofa against the wall and two natural slipper chairs. The rug is a cream and blue color. The wall paint color is gray/blue. Where should I start first?
A: I'm not sure if this is a possibility, but switching your brown sofa for a lighter one would instantly lighten up the space. If it's not an option, consider painting some of the wood in lighter colors like ivory or taupe. I think the sofa would be the biggest game-changer, though. Also go with white or ivory unlined curtains, hung from the ceiling. Mix in large white accessories throughout the space, such as trays and vases.
