Wardrobes are the most important element of a bedroom. They provide security, organization and style to your space. But with so many options available, it can be difficult to find the perfect wardrobe for your needs. Here are five questions that will help you narrow down your search.

1. What size type of wardrobe do you need?

When choosing your wardrobe, first stick to what you need rather than choosing for style. Consider the following: how many clothes do you own? If your things are neatly arranged and folded, a small one can be sufficient. However, if you like to stock up on seasonal clothing every year, then go for something like an 8-10 drawers cabinet or a built in wardrobe, so there is enough space for storing extra items.

2. What type of material do you want your wardrobe to be made from?

The materials used in constructing wardrobes must not only look good but also last long. Here are some common types of wardrobes:

Oak Wardrobe

It is made from solid oak, which is hardwood. This type of material is high quality and sturdy, making it an ideal choice for long-term use. It looks elegant with its natural wood grain and shine.

Pine Wardrobe

Made from pine, a softer wood that is more flexible than oak but still easy to maintain and strong enough to last for years without warping or bowing.

Painted wardrobes

If you want something cheap or your budget only allows you to buy secondhand furniture, this option might be suitable for you. However, be warned that even though the price tag may look tempting, there is no saying how long any of the used ones will last.

3. What colour scheme would you prefer your wardrobe to have?

According to Carpenter Lane, wardrobes are more than just a piece of furniture; they add colour and flavour to the entire room. Choosing a specific colour that would complement your overall interior decoration is vital when choosing wardrobes. Make sure you don’t choose one with paint or finishes that are too glossy, as this can become particularly hard to maintain in an enclosed space.

4. How many storage spaces do you need in the dresser, as well as how many drawers?

There is no point in having a huge wardrobe if it only has four small drawers for you to sort through everything – this will only lead to frustration! If it’s possible, try going for something like six large drawers. Small clothes can go in a smaller drawer, while the rest of your items can occupy the other drawers.

5. Do you prefer a mirror door integrated into your wardrobe, or would it look better without one?

If you like to look at yourself on every reflective surface that they pass by, then maybe consider getting a wardrobe with an integrated mirror door rather than having to place one on the wall yourself. Otherwise, try not to feel too much pressure to choose this feature as it just adds extra work for you later on. You may want it to match your furniture but remember that there is no need to use the same wood or paint.

Conclusion

With these considerations in mind, you should be able to narrow down the selection process. From here, it’s easier to check out different online sellers and local retailers so you can purchase your perfect wardrobe cabinet.

The one great advantage with portable air conditioners is that they do not need to be installed permanently and result in the breaking of walls or creating openings in windows. Most portable air conditioners are mounted on frames that have caster wheels and allow the air conditioner to be moved, even from room to room if you so desire it.

Most portable air conditioners are relatively lightweight and would be about 28″ to 36″ tall, and are elegant enough to look like an integral part of the furniture in your room. Portable air conditioners do need a vent and most of them come with these vents in the form of flexible pipes that can be easily snapped on to a window.

Most air conditioners also pull out the moisture from the air, during cooling and many of these models have a design that includes self evaporative technology. Others may have a reservoir in the machine that collects the water, and this may require to be emptied at intervals unless you can make arrangements for a gravity draining system, that would, however, require a more permanent installation than usual.

Portable air conditioners like all air conditioners have both compressors and fans, and they produce sound just like window air conditioners also do. When you are buying a portable air conditioner ask about its decibel rating, which should be preferably below 60 dB, a noise level as noisy as normal conservation. The size of your portable air conditioner must fit the size of the room or rooms that you would normally use it in. Models can come with single or dual hoses for removing warm air and the moisture.

The power required is three-phase and must have a properly grounded plug when it is used on most household sockets. Look at the energy rating of the portable air conditioner that you are considering purchasing. They can always be used in addition to central air conditioning to augment the cooling of the home or workspace during the hotter days of summer.

You will have to look at the layout of your room to decide the length of the exhaust and drain hoses, as normally they will be supplied in lengths of 4 to 7 feet. Most of these hoses are made of temperature-resistant plastic that is reinforced with metal. This short length may require you to always position your portable air conditioner closer to a window or other opening, and at times this may not exactly be suitable for you.

Your portable air conditioner must have a BTU rating that indicates its cooling power that must be suitable for the size of the room you are planning to use it in. An undersized air conditioner will be forced to run for longer periods and this can increase your energy bills. These units can be used right out of their packing, and do not require any further installation like window air conditioners or split air conditioners would. They are less efficient than window units and their noise can at times be disruptive. For more information, you can visit https://www.bestadvisor.my.

Fr. Brendan Freeman, OCSO is now the superior of Holy Trinity Abbey. Toward the end of July, 2013, Fr. Brendan, who was the eleventh abbot of New Melleray Abbey in Peosta, Iowa, reached the age at which he was required by law to retire. No sooner had a new superior been appointed at New Melleray Abbey than Fr Brendan’s retirement was cut short, and he was appointed superior of Holy Trinity Abbey in early August, 2013. Officially he is a major superior without any restrictions, having been appointed by our Father Immediate, who is the abbot of Gethsemani Abbey in Kentucky.

Fr. Brendan is a native of St Louis. He entered New Melleray Abbey in 1958 at the age of twenty. He received a masters degree in liturgical studies from The Catholic University of America in 1973. Fr. Brendan was elected abbot of his community in 1984 and served in that position for twenty-nine years. He is the author of Come and See: The Monastic Way for Today (Cistercian, 2010).

Fr. Brendan brings to Holy Trinity Abbey an enormous amount of pastoral experience, monastic wisdom, good humor, and fascinating stories. Under his guidance, we will be making plans for the future.

Monks or ascetics existed in the Catholic Church from at least the third century. Pachomius (c 292-346 A.D.) in Upper Egypt had large monasteries of community-type monks called cenobites. Meanwhile, in lower Egypt, near the Nile deta, lived hermits or solitaries, who built cells in the desert, where they lived in loosely structured colonies or by themselves. About the same time, in Syria there arose a monasticism of the solitary type. Hilarion initiated monasticism in Palestine by becoming a hermit around 308 A.D. Colonies of monks sprang up around him. In Asia Minor Basil (329-379) founded monasteries and wrote rules for the monks.

Western visitors and ascetics, attracted by the fame of the Egyptian monks, visited them and wrote their histories, like Palladius’ Lausiac History and the anonymous collection of the sayings of the desert fathers, called the Apophthegmata. Jerome (+419 A.D.) and Rufinus (+410 A.D.) translated some of these works from Greek into Latin for the benefit of the Romans and other Europeans.

John Cassian (+c 433 A.D.) visited the monks in Egypt and later recorded their teaching in his famous Institutes and Conferences, which were written in southern France and had a considerable influence on western monasticism.

In Italy, Benedict, (c 480-550 A.D.) founded the famous monastery of Monte Cassino and wrote his Rule for Monks, a set of prescriptions for monastic living, which we still follow in principle. Even before Benedict, and during the centuries that followed, monks established monasteries throughout western Europe. They established schools and promoted studies and learning during the so-called Dark Ages.

Monasteries have periods of fervor and of decline. In periods of decline there often appear saintly and fervent leaders who effect reforms. One such reform took place in eastern France in 1098 A.D. Robert, abbot of the monastery of Molesme, north of Lyons, took with him twenty monks and founded a monastery at Citeaux, which became the center of the Cistercian Order, to which we belong. The monks of this order came to be known as the “white monks,” in contradistinction to the traditional monks, who wore black and who became known as Benedictines.

In the early 17th century a further reform was called for in the Cistercian monastery of La Trappe in northern France, which had fallen into decay. Armand-Jean de Rance (1626-1700 A.D.) became the abbot and reformed the community. It is from this monastery and its foundations that we get the popular term “Trappist.”

In 1790 all monasteries and religious houses in France were suppressed, and their property confiscated by the Revolutionary Government. The monks and other religious were either guillotined, escaped into exile, or abandoned their religious status. The novice master of La Trappe, Augustin de Lestrange, escaped from France with twenty-one monks of his monastery and set up his community in a vacant Carthusian monastery in Switzerland.

When Napoleon’s armies threatened to invade Switzerland, de Lestrange, together with his monks and nuns, journeyed all the way to Russia. After a year or two, not finding themselves welcome there, they gradually made their way back to France. Many candidates came to fill their ranks, and eventually they established monasteries in France, England, Ireland, Canada, and the United States. The first two houses in the U.S.A. were Gethsemani in Kentucky and New Melleray in Iowa. It was from Gethsemani that the monastery of the Holy Trinity was founded at Huntsville, Utah, in 1947.
