| INCORPORATE FRUIT AND FLOWERS. There's no doubt that plants and flowers add a freshness to any space. In living conditions that often don't permit pets, plants can be a welcomed living addition. Keep grab-and-go fruit around such as apples or clementines for people passing through and for your own enjoyment. Private Comment

| MAKE YOUR FURNITURE DO DOUBLE DUTY. Like this side shelving that serves as a desk space, use furniture that offers more than one purpose. Use a secretary desk for work and fold it up to be a pleasant side piece for when company comes. Create a living room couch with a mattress on a discreet frame and pillows thrown around like a Paris salon, and offer it up as guest quarters. Outfit a room with an armoire--take the doors off and use it alternately as a place to organize and store toys, and as a side buffet for parties or liquor cabinet for soirees. Private Comment

| Armoires can hide tvs, toys, work piles, and a plethora of other things that can disappear behind attractive doors. We took the doors of ours off in our current dwelling, and use it as shelving for cake platters and extra Pellegrino bottles. The list is endless. Private Comment
