Summer is creeping up on us, and now is the time to order those convertible sofabeds for home and “camp” to ensure they are ready for vacation season guests. Since our sofabeds, chaise lounges and chairs are custom made according to your choices of wood, finish, futon type and slip cover, we ask for 3-4 weeks lead time. (If you’re in a pinch, we sell items from our showroom floors.)

In this merry, merry month of May, we’ll be visiting upstate (Delaware County, Walton Fairgrounds) and downstate (Woodstock, New Paltz) New York demonstrating our “Just Lean Back” convertible furniture. Hope to see you at the following home/craft shows where we’ll be ready to take your orders.

Catskill Region Business Expo & Home Improvement Show
May 15, 2010 (9am-4pm) at the Walton Fairgrounds

Renewable Energy. Construction. Services. Way More. Come meet our region’s business experts from financing, insurance, construction, solar and geothermal energy, architecture, landscaping, and more. Learn ways to make your home more efficient. Take in some great workshops.

Over fifty vendors will be under the tents so come on out to Walton. Stroll their main street stores and antique shops. Grab a bit to eat. Make a day of it Saturday May 15th. Starts at 9am on the Walton Fairgrounds. (from the Great Western Catskills Tourism newsletter)

The Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Craft Fair

Where’s your man cave?*

By “man cave” I mean that specially equipped male sanctuary where you kick off dust from a stressful day and relax, take a step back to reflect and do what you enjoy. Is it the spare bedroom that’s your personal sports shrine, paying homage to  favorite teams, players or housing your own trophies? Or a media room where you kick back and kick butt in virtual video game worlds? Perhaps you venture outdoors  and seek solace in a deck or garden environment. Or you’ve created a separate garage or shop building to pursue hobbies and play.

Nikita Indoor Outdoor creates affordable custom convertibles for every environment and the man cave is no exception.  Indoors or outdoors, we’ve got what you need to just lean back and unwind. If your room does double duty as an overnight guest bedroom, our sofas, loveseats and chairs fit together as double, queen or king beds. Our furniture boldly (and easily) moves where you go–it’s on wheels. Of course we can’t leave man’s best friend out of the picture; you may customize your furniture to be pet friendly by choosing washable slip covers or a waterproof underlining.

To celebrate the opening of our Saratoga Springs store, Nikita Indoor Outdoor is giving away a chaise lounge (converts to twin bed) to one lucky person in September 2010. It would be a great addition to den or mancave.

To enter the give-away, stop by either of our store locations: 508 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY (518)796-1887 (closest to the Albany area) or 7 Elm Street, Oneonta, NY (607)267-4623 (serving Norwich, Binghamton and upstate NY towns & hamlets in between) for a demo and see our furniture in action. All you will have to do is “just lean back.”

PS We’d love seeing and posting mancave pics: e-mail them to mary@JustLeanBack.com  Let’s have fun with this and see what you come up with!
