Whistle Stop Tea Room: A Charming Pit Stop for Tea and Sandwiches in Tomball

July 14, 2016 by

Back in the 19th century, when railroad travel was transforming America, the largest cities and towns had grand, ornate train stations. Between those major points on the railroad, there were “whistle stops,” small stations that trains only stopped at upon request. Like the whistle stops of days gone by, the Whistle Stop Tea Room in Tomball is a small place to rest and relax in the middle of a lazy afternoon or to pick up some food to go while you’re out running errands.

The Whistle Stop is located among the antique and gift shops of Tomball’s charming and historic commercial district, making it an ideal spot for a quick bite after a busy morning of shopping. The menu features soups, sandwiches, salads, and desserts, all served in reasonable portions. Favorites include the tortilla soup, chicken salad sandwich, and yum yum pie.

Whistle Stop Tea Room is open for lunch only, Mondays through Saturdays.

Style a Catalog-Worthy Bed With These Pro Pointers

July 7, 2016 by

Styling your bed can be a little difficult. There are so many different color and pattern options for bedding, not to mention the wealth of options available for pillows and decorative accents! Follow the tips below to create a unique bed that fits your style.

  • Follow guidelines on how to layer your pillows depending on the size of your bed. For example, a king bed should have three Euro pillows, then two king pillows, then two standard pillows, and a few accent pillows on top of that.
  • Use a simple, neutral color for your comforter or duvet cover and add a splash of color with your pillowcases or accent pillows.
  • Place a throw or blanket at the bottom of your bed. Make sure the texture or color matches the same as your pillows at the head of your bed.
  • For a sophisticated look, be sure to make your bed tight with little to no wrinkles.
  • Style up your bed with a traditional wooden, upholstered, metal, or neutral headboard.
  • If headboards aren’t your style, hang a piece of art or a large mirror on the wall above your bed to create the illusion of a headboard.

Even if you're unable to splurge on the fancy Egyptian cotton sheets favored by four-star hotels, that doesn't mean that you can't create a hotel-quality bedding setup in your own bedroom. Here are a few great sources where you can shop affordable, stylish bedding online.

IKEA
Everyone's favorite affordable home goods store also offers an equally expansive selection of bedding for children and adults. From bright, colorful patterns and traditional floral prints to knitted throw blankets and even plump pillows, you'll find everything you need for any budget.

Overstock
Budget-conscious shoppers love Overstock for its ever-changing selection of furniture and home goods, but the site also sells complete bedding sets that make it much easier (and more affordable) to invest in new bedding. You'll find name brand bedding for up to 80% off of the original price.

Target
With stylish bedding from designers like Nate Berkus, Target's selection is one of the best bangs for your buck. Purchase a complete bedding set or mix and match affordable separates on your own.

Wayfair
