If you decide to do the foam yourself, a friend mentioned that WalMart seems to have the cheapest choice of foam compared to craft stores. Although, out of a million Wally Worlds in my area, only 2 still have a craft department and they are tiny, so good luck finding a source! How Can I Save This Ugly, Beat-Up Couch That I Love?

Hah! We just bought a house and can finally do the jumping video from P90X... after living on the second floor of an apartment, it is so fun to enjoy that now!

I painted all of my arches the same beige-y color underneath. And my walls are not beige-y at all. I just great the arches as door frame trim you have no problem leaving those white when transitioning from one room to another. As to which color you should use on it, honestly the names of all 3 paints sound neutral, so just choose one. Or go with what color you have underneath the archway on the right. Good luck! I love painting, hope you are satisfied with the results!! :) How To Transition Paint Colors Through Archway into Hall? Good Questions |

And multitasking is a misnomer. Most people use this word to mean they can do multiple things and pay attention to them equally. Research has shown this to be untrue. Typically 2 activities performed simultaneously break down into something like 70/30% attention. Which is why texting and driving is so dangerous because most people prioritize texting over driving.

I am always on my phone when watching TV. But not posting anything related to what I am watching. I think it stems from grading papers while listening to TV, and learning that it isn't necessary to see everything to know what is going on. The ONLY show in the past 3 years that has made me put everything away because it needs my full attention and I love it, is Game of Thrones. The number of main characters demands constant attention.

I have a continuous "yard sale" box, that when overfilled, gets donated. If I have pricey items I save for a yard sale (no sense buying a permit when we don't have enough stuff). I hate clutter so I tend to donate like crazy. Also, I never get a receipt because I don't itemize my deductions, so it's pointless to get a receipt when I am just donating small items like clothes and shoes.

I agree with covering the flooring. Our first apartment had cheap tiles with no grout in between where the glue came up and every crumb and dust bunny the first week we were there stuck permanently.

Wow. I feel like my home is not for me now. I actually didn't even look closely at our current home because I was in love with another. It took a lot of convincing from my hubby on why it was so perfect for us. After a second look, though, I was convinced and we made an offer the seller couldn't refuse (3 other offers were "in the works" at the time). Falling in Love with a Home |

I second paper lanterns. If you are going to use a 3M hook, that would be the heaviest. There are some great tutorials for spicing up your usual humdrum lantern. AT posted one a few years ago that I made (basically glued white triangles of paper to a white lantern. And Martha Stewart sells some that have circles glued to them (made that myself too).
