Idea 1 - White based theme. A friend who purchased her first house during the winter season used the snow as the theme for her big housewarming party - everything was white - wine, spritzers, whit...
Laptop in the bedroom as well. I slip it under the nightstand when I go to sleep.
Rosey G. - do you actually put your pillows on the computer? Not good if you aren't actually power...
Awesome bepsf! I have no collections. Purchased books are usually gone after I read them (I prefer the library). Maybe I would consider the shear volume of candles and candle holders I had in co...
How about wall mounted swing arm lamps? For example, the Chelsea Swing-Arm Sconce at www.potterybarn.com, is similar to the table lamp above (shade, silver finish) but provides the movement functi...
I've said it before - seeing my parents' garage inspires me to organize and purge stuff. They have been in the house 21 years and the car still won't fit in the garage.

Too easy for children in the home (even visiting kids) to associate the brown bottles with food-stuff, stumble across a bottle in the bathroom and think, "yeah, candy!" Too risky. Consider using ...
Seriously? Give these up because they are too heavy to clean around? Invest in a swifter mop and keep them!!
At a minimum, I would at least keep the table and replace the chairs wi...
I tried this years ago with a smaller number of frames and, as most posters here suggested, textured papers. The effect while it was laid out on the floor was amazing. Getting the frames perfectl...
Kaete - dumb question here but how did you clean that sludge goo out of your disposal? I get killing the bugs but I've tried everything and that icky sludge stuff is still there.
I disagree with the comments about using a desk/dining table. I've done it for 11 years and haven't used a "home office" in years. Candidly, it works for those people whose office needs can be co...
