With the economy being what it is today, River City Referrals has been on the lookout for exciting new products that won't break the bank. These products fit the mold and will add style, value and function whether you are selling or staying in your home. We think these will be great additions to the Holiday lists!

Here are our top 6 picks:

Wonder Wash Portable Laundry What uses no electricity, uses 90% less detergent and water, and washes clothes clean in less than 2 minutes? Wonder Wash by The Laundry Alternative Inc. The list of folks who could benefit from this is immense: college students, mothers with hand washables/cloth diapers, RV owners, Seniors or single people etc. It can be used with hot or cold water and takes up little space. For this reason, we voted this our #1 pick (and I'm seriously considering this for my Mom!). www.laundry-alternative.com
Decorative Acoustic Tiles What Richmonder hasn't wanted the authentic tin ceiling look you see in Fan houses and restaurants? Or perhaps a wood coffered ceiling is your dream. Now, you can get the look of tin or wood without the cost, corrosion or challenges. ACP has a line of ceiling tiles, complete with crown molding or backsplash, to fit into any budget. At about half the price of a metal ceiling, they are easy to install and durable. You can pick from many styles and finishes that will fit into your home decor. Check them out at www.acpideas.com. Available in stock or special order at Home Depot and Lowes.
Do It Yourself Mirror Framing Trying to sell your house? Or just tired of the builder grade mirror that came in the bathroom (and never left)? Change that without having to hire a professional carpenter. Silver, Cherry, White, Oak, Birch, Walnut, Driftwood- a variety of finishes for just about any boring bathroom. Easy to cut and install, you can look at pictures of this patent-pending product at www.mirredge.com . Currently available locally at Home Depot.
DIY Raised Garden Bed The raised bed gardening trend bloomed all over Richmond this spring and summer. But making your own raised flower bed can be difficult. Instead, grow beautiful flowers, raise fresh vegetables, extend your growing season, use less space, water, and fertilizer all while saving money. This product is environmentally friendly, maintenance free, and non-toxic (made from recycled milk jugs). You just lock the grooved panels together, fill with the right soil and you're ready to garden. See more at www.advancedgreenhouses.com .
Hot/Cold Outdoor Sill Faucet This Moen faucet is capable of delivering a mix of hot and cold water so you can enjoy warm water when washing the dog or filling a kiddie pool. Outdoor water is kept separate from the indoor water supply. Easy to install and even easier to use. Customers love this product! www.faucetdepot.com
Stainless Steel Film Have mismatched appliances that you wish were stainless steel? Or have mostly stainless steel except for one appliance? Soft Metal faux stainless steel films give your appliances, or any smooth surface, the look of stainless steel. It is scratch resistant, durable, heat resistant (from 14°F to 122°F), and it is easy to clean. Just peel, stick and voila. www.glassdecorandmore.com. (And coming soon, copper film!)

We hope you enjoyed this edition of River City Connections. As always, we’ll be on the lookout for other must-haves throughout the year! Drop us a line if you find something you would like to share.
