Just not happy with this furniture arrangement
Comments (46)If you are using the existing furniture - place the sofa across from the fireplace,place the 2 chairs on opposite sides of the fireplace. If you are buying new furniture - have you thought of a sectional (sofa/chaise style)? Sectional opposite fireplace, ottoman or coffee table, rug, 2 smaller chairs (I think your existing chairs are a bit large.) Its always best to have a console table behind the sectional back. (softens the look and a great place to add more personality - options: 1. Add lamps, accessories, books, trays, etc 2. Place stools under the console for additional seating when needed. 3.Or use it as a desk - add a chair....See MoreDo you have a secret hiding place at home for treats just for you?
Comments (104)I guess the freezer wasn't such a great place to hide things, after all...will have to think of another. A funny memory came up with the question, though... I once watched a cooking show with Sharon Osbourne as a guest. She said, when she was trying to get Ozzie to stop drinking, he always hid a bottle in the oven, because he knew she would never look in there... ;p When I lived in SE Asia, most transactions were in cash. So....i frequently had to go to the ATM. My bank provided an escort to your car if you got cash from a teller, but if I went to the ATM, I stuffed the money in my bra...funny enough, a very safe place for a lady to put her money... But then I was in Indonesia during the monetary crisis, and a trip to the ATM had me coming out looking like Dolly Parton. That was the end of that!...See MoreRug(s) for this space??
Comments (5)You can get a rug store to cut you a piece with exactly the dimensions you want and bind the edges. They would even make it L-shaped if you want. Since you don't need all that much, you might be able to find a nice remnant that will suit your need and get it at a great price....See MoreMy husband is driving me CRAZY! Is it just me? What would you do?
Comments (91)Hi Suzyq53, This is one of my favorite threads along with the guy that wants the gay bathhouse themed bedroom, I'm cracking up! As I've aged, I can't stand visual clutter, put that crap away! Also, it's about "flat surfaces", I was on a trip and when I got home, I couldn't even set anything down as hubs had nearly all flat surfaces covered with crap. So I declared all crap sitting out to be "abandoned", if it wasn't where it belonged, it was abandoned and went into a box, (like everyone else pretty much suggests). As I am a former hospitality professional, I'm blessed with a colorful vocabulary that often makes my point, sometimes to a fault. Plus, I'm Irish... Post and let us know what happens!...See Moreroselee z8b S.W. Texas
