I enjoy getting ready for the Holidays the best, time with my immediate family, baking cookies, putting up the tree and decorating it. Each year my mother buys us all an ornament something that represents something from the year, each ornament has a memory attached to it, I think of these as we decorate the tree.

Renting a steam cleaner just is not the same as getting your carpet professionally cleaned. My parents recently got their carpet, also a beige tone cleaned, and it looks great. They have had their carpet for 15 years. Good Luck!

I agree moving takes a great tole on a person, and sometimes relationships. It can be a stressful time. After a weekend of cleaning and painting, the movers came, when they were done, I was so exhausted, I took a nap on our mattress still covered in plastic. After that it does take time, and it seems the only places you go are work, the grocery store and the local home improvement place.... Hang in there, I know you can do it.

They do not build houses like they used to. I know that if you locate the studs and put your hooks there the weight of coats and hats would not be anything to worry about. You have lots of great space for coat hooks and a shoe rack or tray for wet shoes would fit behind the door, at the right side of the entry way. A slim shelf or two could go under the window, find the studs and put the shelf brackets in there. This would work as a great catch all for mail, keys etc... a plant or two would do nicely there too. A nice Welcome mat to wipe your feet and another rug inside would make it a very nice place to come home to.

I have done this project with kids, adults, seniors and people with special needs. We put the glue on one day, let it dry and then the next day we use our fabric dye like watercolors and paint in our batik. Just throw it in the washer on hot when done... Great Project !

If you want the sofas to pop, use a cool color in blue, green or violet tones, or a cool light gray would be something neutral. I think some aqua tones, with brown and orange in a patterned throw pillows would be great.

Great Idea. I love the sleek look. I've been using orange crates for years. They are modular, and if you're transient, they are great when moving, the books can stay right where they are.
