FusionCRS is no stranger to witnessing the effects of a natural disaster and how much damage can be done. Helping the victims of Hurricane Harvey has been a priority of our company since the moment we heard about it. I realize that this storm may not have touched our community physically, but that shouldn’t stop anyone from helping to rebuild the lives and communities in Texas.  It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from, what you believe in — our people are in need. It’s a tragedy that no one ever wants to go through. I watched the news for updates and kept thinking, “that could have been my home… my car… my family.” Here at FusionCRS, we can’t just sit back and watch. We encourage everyone, especially local business, to do what you can! FusionCRS will be working with Destin Harvest in efforts to raise money and donations that will go directly to the victims.  We will be donating $500 worth of needed supplies and we encourage EVERYONE to help as well.

What can you do to help Hurricane Harvey Victims?

Any contribution helps – big or small! You may have noticed that there’s several organizations that are accepting donations. Do your research to be sure it’s legitimate. If you have any questions feel free to call our office at 850-651-6600. We can assist with making sure your donations get to the right place.

What should I donate?

The needed items has been provided by the governor of Texas and Mayor of Houston. They’re asking that these items be provided in backpacks. Either a used backpack in good condition or a cheap one from Walmart will do. If all you have are items, those will work too. Frost Jones is the point of contact for this initiative. She is establishing local drop off locations for the items. If you would like to provide items, or help in any way, please contact her directly at 850-502-0305.

It’s time to spring into spring cleaning!

Like a lot of our readers, I’m a parent. My biggest concerns with cleaning is what’s the safest, affordable, and satisfactory way to get things done. I’ve learned that some things I can swing myself and others I definitely have to leave to the professionals. Carpet and tile cleaning is something I keep FusionCRS on speed dial for. Sure, I could go rent a carpet cleaning machine or get on my hands and knees with a toothbrush to tackle my grout. But in reality, it’s waste of time and energy. Especially during spring  cleaning when my list is already full of things that I have no choice to complete on my own. It’s a relief to know that trained technicians can come and knock out a job in a couple hours which would probably take me days (don’t judge – I’m a mom, ha!). There’s also so many benefits to choosing a professional clean. Don’t cut yourself short when deep cleaning this spring. Go all the way and reap the benefits of a clean, fresh home! After all, who doesn’t like to successfully clean their home from top to bottom? Let’s talk about the bottom though…

If you’re anything like me or if you live in Northwest Florida (Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, or surrounding areas) then you know the pollen has no mercy us on when spring arrives! You’ll see it on your car but did you know those same allergens are resting in the biggest filter of your home – CARPET. We track in dirt, bacteria, fungus, and so much more that gets the chance to nest on the same place that we stretch out on. This plays a big role in the health of your family. Just like the filter for your air conditioner needs to be changed, your carpet needs to be cleaned. FusionCRS encourages cleaning your carpet every six months in order to maintain and healthy indoor environment. This will also help with creating permanent damage from stain and traffic. Be sure to give them a call at 850-651-6600 and schedule today.

Stay tuned for more help with your spring cleaning this year!

Did you know that each new President of the United States calls for a new rug in the Oval Office as well?! The Oval Office goes under a complete makeover with new furniture, paintings, drapes, and the star of the show – a new, custom rug. Rug lovers would be pretty impressed the unique colors, designs, and thought that goes behind these special pieces. Every stitch is of great quality and precision – quite fitting person running our country!

The one-of-a-kind rugs set each of our elects apart from each other. Massive in size and usually making a statement, the President in office gets to tap into their interior design side by creating a rug for their space. From light to dark, plain to extravagant – it’s been done. The First Lady also plays a role in making the vision come to life. Nancy Reagan was able to design the beautiful rug that accompanied Ronald Reagan for both of his terms in the 80’s.  On the other hand, some elects choose to keep it simple and let the previous rug stay. But what happens once the rug is removed from the office? Well, they get a special place in the presidential library and some even make it to museums.

Take a guess!

Hmmm, any ideas on the design for Trump’s rug?

We are anxious to see! Leave your comments and tell us your predictions.
