Reusing a Changing Table- Most moms have, at one point, had a baby changing table. But once the baby is too big for it, what then? Sell it at a garage sale? Save it for your sister-in-law? Shove it in the storage shed or garage? Instead, create some needed storage space for your laundry room, mud room, kitchen, front porch, sewing room or any other area that is in need. Don't have one? You can pick one up at a garage sale these days for $10 or less.

Selling Your Used Goods- We have furniture and other wares from a five bedroom home in storage. Eleven pallets have been there for 4 years.

Often developing a personal system involves just a bit of creativity rather than a substantial investment in a professional product or service.
Storing (and finding) Plastic Containers- When I open up my cabinet of plastic ware - Tupperware, yogurt
containers, etc., it's worse than Mr. Magoo's closet! What can I
do to keep them straight, to have enough containers yet be able
to find sizes and covers when I need them?
The Nook Look- It is possible to create the look of a nook within
the home without remodeling. The nice niche, then,
offers a place to display a beloved collection, heirloom
antiques, or family photos.

Way Cool- It's that time of year when most of us begin to wonder how we'll keep
cool in the summer without running up a huge electric bill. And there
should be a way to do it. After all, the air conditioner wasn't common
