Born and raised in Lafayette, LA., Lisa now resides in Scott, LA. with her husband, Jack.

How to Update Your Living Room Wednesday, July 28, 2021 The living room is arguably the most important room in your house. It's the meeting place of your family, it's where you entertain guests, it's where you relax after a long day at work, etc. Give your living room new life by following these tips from Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving East Texas and Louisiana.
Sofa, Sectional, or Loveseat
A great way to update your living room is with a new sectional, sofa or loveseat! Something to keep in mind while shopping for your perfect reclining loveseat or sofa is the size of the space you have. Be sure the new furniture piece fits in the space that you have allotted.
You may want to take note of the fabric used in making the sofa as well. Some use upholstery, such as fabrics that are man-made or synthetic. Lighter couches hold stains easier, so if you have pets or children you may want to opt for a darker sofa. Sofas and loveseats made of leather or wicker can expertly pull your living room together. Also, consider the distance from the wall to make sure you have enough room to recline!
Entertainment System
If you are in the market for a new entertainment center or TV stand, you have come to the right place! Gathering your family to watch your favorite movie or the next binge-able television show after a long day can be one of life’s greatest pleasures. Whether you’re watching TV, listening to music, or just organizing your decorations and DVDs, nothing makes getting the most out of your living room appliances more than the right entertainment center.
At Home Furniture Plus Bedding, East Texas and Louisiana shoppers can find the perfect entertainment center to suit their personal tastes. Here at Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving East Texas and Louisiana, we have any and every style you’ll need to fit the aesthetic of your home!
Accent Chairs
When you finally have that beautiful new entertainment center as the focus point of your living room, you’ll need to be comfortable as you admire it! Choose from our collection of beautiful and comfortable accent chairs. We have a ton of colors, styles, and fabrics for you to choose from. Accent chairs can play both fashionable and functional roles in any seating area. These chairs can visually balance a large sofa or sectional or make grand, expansive rooms feel more intimate. With plenty of styles, materials, and colors to choose from, Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving East Texas and Louisiana is sure to have the accent chair you’ve been searching for to brighten up your living room.

Charles George - Employee Spotlight July 2021 Thursday, July 15, 2021 Charles George has been with Home Furniture for seven years. He served in sales for the first five years and currently serves as manager of our Julia Aubin location in Baton Rouge.
Before joining the Home Furniture Plus Bedding team, Charles’ experience of 16 years in senior management at a local competitor and his recognition of leadership abilities and promotions in the U.S. Army has benefitted his growth and success with both his family and
our Home Furniture family. Adds Charles, “Man, I love this company! I put God first in everything because while the goal may stay the same, we need to adjust our plans to fit God’s plan for us.”
Ross Dees, COO and District Manager of Home Furniture, adds, “Charles has been in retail sales and management his entire career. We are glad he is part of our leadership team at Home Furniture. He brings a lot of energy and passion for helping customers and leading the employees at the Julia Aubin location.”
To know Charles is to know of his love of trains! He became fascinated with them as a young boy and learned of them in detail from his father. One can easily see his enthusiasm and obsession with trains to this day as he proclaims, “My goal is to have a dedicated ‘Train Room’ in the house soon!”
After being honorably discharged from the military, Charles began his college education. At this point, he realized his passion and talent for working with and managing people while in sales. Plans changed, and Charles put his education on hold while he pursued a career in the world of retail.
Fast forward to just a couple of years ago, as a promise to his dying father, Charles committed to his goal of completing his college education. Achieving that goal, he now possesses a degree from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in General Studies with a concentration in Behavioral Science.
Additionally, when asked to share the “One Thing” that most of us may not know, Charles replies, “I’m an actual chef! I used to work as a chef at Cypress Bayou Casino for six years, and I love practicing my culinary skills when I can!”
When not working or cooking up something delicious, Charles enjoys hunting, fishing, and watching his kids play sports.
Born and raised in Sorrell, LA, Charles resides in Jackson, LA, with his wife, Wanda, and daughter, Bailey. Charles and Wanda also have another daughter, Andrea, and a son, Landyn.
Charles also adds, “You can’t motivate everyone, but what you can do is to surround yourself with those who are motivated because they are the ones who will share the same vision as you.”
Thank you, Charles, for sharing the vision of Home Furniture and shining the light for others to follow!

Larry Domingue - Employee Spotlight July 2021 Tuesday, June 29, 2021
On a very cold day 25 years ago, Larry Domingue began his career with Home Furniture at the Grand Opening of our Beaumont, TX location as the assistant manager. Says Larry, “Back then, the assistant manager’s duties also included overseeing their own warehousing, receivables, and deliveries of all merchandise along with managing customer service.”
Larry’s prior experience as a trainer at Atlantic Southeast Airlines and working for Walmart in the retail world became invaluable for both him and Home Furniture.
In January of 2000, Larry earned the promotion of manager but only after, as he says, “I was put in Tony Kemp’s office with a very small desk in the corner…and I had four months of intense Tony Kemp!” It is obvious that Larry’s experience and intense training has and still pays dividends for Home Furniture.
As he says, “My ultimate goal is for our employees to enjoy working for Home Furniture and for me. I always try to set employees up for success. When this happens, it is ‘Mission Accomplished.”
Ross Dees, COO and District Manager of Home Furniture, says, “Larry is an awesome leader in our company! He brings a lot of passion and energy to the Beaumont store and the entire company.”
Tony Kemp, CEO, adds, “Larry is one of the best store managers I have ever worked with; more importantly, he is a man of character and integrity. I am proud to call him my friend and brother.”
Outside of work, Larry is also very passionate about enjoying his family, including seven grandchildren along with “all levels of football, from peewee league to the pro league!” He also stays active in learning to build things like the remodeling of different rooms of his house. But, when given the opportunity, it is his “teaching and preaching the Word of God” that is the driving passion for him. While serving as a member of the deacon board in his church, teaching and filling in as needed for pastoring, Larry is also currently studying to become a licensed minister.
When asked to share the one thing that hardly any of us may not know, Larry admittedly reveals, “My wife has gotten me hooked on watching the reality show ‘Married at First Sight!”
Born in Port Arthur, TX, Larry moved to San Francisco, CA at the age of five and returned to Texas in the 6th grade. He now resides in Groves, TX with his wife, Patti, and their two youngest sons, Jayden and Jeremiah.
Larry also adds, “The greatest thing about our company is: 1) Home Furniture is dedicated to taking care of our customers and 2) Home Furniture is dedicated to our employees. It can’t get any better than that.”
Thank you, Larry, for your passion for leading by example through both your words and actions along with your steadfast commitment to maintaining the Home Furniture culture.

Outside of work, Ronald can be found relaxing and staying very active with his nine grandchildren, along with participating in his Men’s Monday Night Bible Studies. Ronald resides in Beaumont, TX, where he was born and raised.
Thank you, Ronald, for exemplifying the Home Furniture culture and for leading by example.

Why You Shouldn't Flip or Rotate Your Mattress Thursday, May 27, 2021 If you are thinking it is time to flip your mattress, stop! Not many mattresses these days can or should be flipped. Most modern mattresses have pillow tops or memory foam tops, and those cannot be flipped. You want to be sleeping on the comfortable side.
And if you’re thinking about rotating your mattress, don’t do it! Sleep technology has come a long way. Newer mattresses are now constructed with sleep zones designed to provide better support to different areas of your body. The filling at the top of your mattress is built differently than the bottom, to offer accurate support to your head and feet.
Still Flipping or Rotating Your Mattress?
If you’re still arduously flipping and rotating your mattress every now and then and wondering when you should do it again, you’re asking the wrong question. The question you should be asking yourself is, is it time to buy a new mattress and the answer is yes. If your current mattress is indeed old enough that it can be flip flopped, then most likely it’s time for a replacement rather than another rotation.
Home Furniture Plus Bedding has a wide selection of mattresses that are built to accommodate every type of sleeper. Choose from support variations or temperature preferences to fit your sleep type and ensure a perfect night's sleep.
At our stores you’ll find all the leading mattress brands including Sealy, Nectar, Tempur-Pedic, Stearns & Foster, and more. You can find these mattresses in all the standard sizes: twin, twin XL, full, queen, and king. We also have adjustable bases and frames, plus box springs and foundations - everything you need to redo your sleep setup.

Don’t put the pressure of choosing the right mattress directly onto your shoulders alone. Let us help! Stop in to any of our 8 locations across East Texas and Louisiana, or contact us with any questions you may have.

William Schmolke - Employee Spotlight June 2021 Saturday, May 15, 2021
“At Home Furniture, we make furniture repairs on anything we sell, and I know that’s far and above what our competitors do,” says William Schmolke. Affectionately known as “Smokey”, he has been one of our chainwide service technicians since 2009. While Smokey’s job requires much skill and knowledge, he continues his self-disciplined drive of learning in order to stay current with the ever-changing world of furniture, equipment, tools, and repairs. As with all of our jobs at Home Furniture, perhaps the most important requirement is that of “people skills.” Smokey adds, “When I make a call, nearly every customer who answers the door is unhappy. You gotta be able to talk with them but to also be able to sell the repair, sell yourself, and sell Home Furniture! A satisfied customer is a happy customer, and when they’re happy, I know they’ll shop with us again.”
Flint Davis, Customer Relations Director, says, “I still recall vividly interviewing Schmolke on a Saturday morning. Who would have known a Saturday interview would result in a sigh of relief. Schmolke has made a positive impact since joining our service team and continues to show vast improvement. He is always researching online for new innovative ways to repair furniture. Schmolke models (GREEN & GROWING) quoted by our CEO, Mr. Tony Kemp. Thank you for being a difference maker! You are making Home Furniture better and my job easier. You are one prepared pioneer in our company.”
One of Home Furniture’s expectations is to be “Clean, Neat, and Organized” with every aspect of our jobs. One look at Smokey’s repair van (inside and out) is a true testament to that, which is just one indicator of what our customers can expect with the quality of his work, and it shows.
Outside of work, Smokey stays active on most weekends enjoying nature with his family, especially on the West Pearl River on his “Old Cajun Houseboat.”
Born and raised in Slidell, LA, Smokey resides in Walker, LA, with Linda, his wife of 21 years. And for those who may not know, Linda is also a Home Furniture team member who has been at our Airline location in Baton Rouge for the past eight years.
Thank you, Smokey, for your talents, skills, dedication, and for your representation of what our company stands for.
