Office furniture Maine is a great search phrase to find Maine Woodworking’s custom made furniture that really embraces Maine simplicity. Here in the cold Northeast we don’t have time to deal with the frippery of intricate design. It’s also very windy and working outside with wood is not always comfortable so our ancestors developed a style that is useful, comfortable and quick to make. These days we mostly work inside so our crafts people do not suffer the wind or rain while working.

Some of the office furniture Maine that we make are desks, as a plain writing table or with several drawer options, chairs of a variety of styles including a traditional Maple desk chair, and several bookcases.

Do you have a color palette that helps you feel focused and strong in your ability to get things done? From tranquil blues to vivid reds, Maine Woodworking knows color evokes a mood and a feeling that transports, calms & focus’. That’s why we offer a stunning palette of 46 shades, including our two-toned weathered finish.

In addition to our extensive assortment of colors, we understand that some shades are particularly special & are happy to color match for a small additional charge. Please contact our sales team for more information about special orders and delivery times. We want your office space to be the best working space at home that it can be for you. Just as we have seen that our workers thrive when given great support we know that you, too, thrive with great support. Our office furniture will keep you thriving and productive for many years.

Do you know that Maine Radon affects 1 in 3 homes? That is a ton of homes and families being affected by Radon, a colorless, odorless, completely natural gas that can cause difficulties to humans if environmental levels get too high. Millions of homes have elevated radon levels, and are completely unaware of the danger.

No level of radon is considered to be safe, but the Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Maine consider a test level over 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) in the air and 4,000 pCi/L in water as an average level to be dangerous. For context – living in a house where you are consistently exposed to this level is a higher radiation exposure than is permitted for nuclear power plant workers. More than 25% of the homes tested in Maine are above 4 pCi/L, and it is not uncommon to see a house test over 50 pCi/L which, with annual exposure, equates to smoking two packs of cigarettes each day. Just because your neighbor’s house tests high, or low, does not mean your house’s test levels would be similar. This is why it is incredibly important to get your home tested before you buy and probably every few years after that. Our environment is changing and as we continue practices like fracking and rampant petroleum consumption we are going to continue disturbing what is under the bedrock.

It is better to have testing done so that you know what your radon levels are. If there is an elevated level of radon in your home’s air or water, take it seriously and get it corrected. At Maine Radon Pro we are certified to test for radon in air and water, and offer radon mitigation system solutions that work quickly and effectively. Luckily, there are fast and fairly easy testing methods to detect radon in the air and water of your home. Radon air tests can be purchased and placed by a homeowner, or the certified professionals at Radon Pro can take care of the testing for you. Radon water testing is more complicated, with stringent parameters for accurate testing procedures, and should be completed by a certified radon testing professional.

Maine Radon is nothing to mess with. There are a lot of great things to be had by living in Maine but lung cancer from Radon poisoning is not one of them. Make sure to test your air and your water if you have a well, regularly and have it mitigated if you have a problem. Your health is your biggest asset.

Are you one of the many people who are considering home construction over buying? Building your own home has a lot of really great perks, from designing the layout yourself to choosing the materials that you will walk on and cook on. What style of appliances will you choose? Stainless steel is so easy to clean but it shows all the fingerprints. Who really needs to be seeing fingerprints all over the fridge door? Or if someone sneezes before they open it? YUCK!

Radon is an invisible, odorless and tasteless gas, that comes from the breakdown of uranium inside the earth. Has uranium done anything good for us since we uncovered it? Radon can present itself in our homes from the air we breathe or our water when it is agitated and the gas becomes airborne. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and is responsible for thousands of lung cancer deaths yearly. At least 3,000 of these deaths occur among people who have never smoked.

Radon Water levels can be reduced with the installation of a Bubble Up Radon water mitigation system. Who doesn’t love a bubbler! This system is approximately the size of a small washing machine that would be placed in the basement or utility room. If you have one. This unit acts as a holding tank for the treated water, a blower creates bubbles in the water which breaks the Radon Air free from the water and ventilates it using 2-inch PVC pipe located outside the home. Installation usually takes 4-6 hours. As long as you don’t stand in front of the pipe breathing in, you will be radon free in your home.

Antiques Period Boston is your New England home for Louis XVI antiques. When figuring out how to upgrade one’s aesthetic some people try to bring more old furniture into their home and call it antique. Now I understand that having something that a king sat upon can be a really interesting talking piece but only if you have people to talk to about your Louis XVI antiques. I for one do not know anyone I could talk to about Louis’ antiques, whether he was the sixteenth or the 16 year old Lew I once knew. The Louis I knew didn’t even spell it the right way though, he spells it Lewis. So clearly he isn’t royalty quality unlike the antiques you will find at Antiques Period Boston.

Antiques Period was founded by François Bardonnet, a native of Paris. François has been interested in fine furniture since he was a child. This man is definitely not the man I knew twenty four years ago. He was raised in Paris by parents, avid collectors and connoisseurs themselves, who frequently took him to antique shows, auction houses, galleries and museums across Europe. My daughter is going to live near Paris this year. François studied art history in college in Paris and interned in London at Sotheby’s and the Victoria & Albert Museum. After graduating from college, François moved to New York where he received law degrees from Columbia University and worked for one of the best Wall Street law firms. My daughter wants to go to law school. I wonder if she is going to end up an dealer of old furniture such as Louis XVI antiques.

Upon deciding to pursue his passion for fine European furniture professionally in 2002, François worked with a top New York dealer. For some time, François traveled between New York and Boston, where he fell in love with the sense of history that makes Boston so beautiful. He moved to Boston fulltime in 2004.
