@ryttu3k, I put a small step stool inside my 9yr old daughter's closet so she can reach stuff.... the stool permanently lives in her closet.... and I have another stool especially for the linen closet so I can reach the top shelf..... and it's always there, so I don't have to go get a chair from somewhere else.... but for my 5 year old who still can't reach (even with the stool), I had to install a hanging bar lower, so she can reach her clothes.

@DoitYerself, I saw this tv show where they put drapes on both sides of the window, where one side of the window is slightly covered by the drape to make it "look" like the window is centered on that wall. It's an optical illusion, and you don't have to cover the entire window.

my living room problem is that we have wood panelling. I think it would be too hard to remove, so painting is the next option. Does anyone know how to paint over wood panels??

we have the Ikea Hemnes shoe cabinet to hold our shoes for the entryway. We have 2 of them. Any occassional shoes ( like snow and rain boots) stay in their bedrooms. We have hooks for our jackets and hats. The kids backpacks are in hooks too, to keep the floor clear.
