How a Vacation Can Help You Pare

This is a lifeguard's nightmare. Too many floats under which kids can get stuck and not be seen. It expands way out into the water, so you can't keep track of your children from the beach. Just a bad idea.

I love this question!

I know from my nana's experience with senior housing that paint colors and lighting were very important to her. She had significant issues with her vision as she got older and so did many of her neighbors.

I would pick three colors that are not too bright, not too dull (light yellow, light blue, etc. - white doors?). I'd paint three doorways (door and surrounding wall) and let the residents vote after living with it for a week or so. I'd also consider a different paint color for each hallway, so the residents can know immediately from the wall color if they're on the right floor. Good luck!
