When I first got divorced I had a stay at home dad for 22 years. I worked odd jobs here and there. I was able to get my foot in the crafting field door because I saw your post about the tedooo app and decided to try making something with my hands. I got my kids and I a tiny little trailer with a hole in the ceiling, an old washer and dryer that was outside, and pack rats coming in from under it. 14 months ago I was finally able to move my kids and I into a two bedroom apartment with no washer and dryer. But I felt like we hit the lottery!!! I told them the next time we moved it would be into one of the three bedrooms with a washer and dryer.
I have slept on a couch in the living room for three years so my kids could have the bedrooms, washed clothes outside in the heat and the cold, lugged laundry baskets to the laundry mat....
But today.... today, we got the keys to one of those beautiful, three bedroom apartments that has a washer and dryer INSIDE!!!!
Today my daughter told me she's proud of me....
Today I got my own bedroom with a door I can shut so I can be alone. Today, I got a bed.
Today, I am proud of me, and I am proud of my kids for sticking it out and never complaining that where they lived wasn't good enough.
I did it with no family to help me, it's been my kids and I the whole way. I have also had so many great friends along the way. And I still do.

I need help with this area above our fireplace and TV. It is about 7ft tall on one side and 8ft on the other with a shelf that is about 1ft deep. This is some of my Christmas decor as some has been taken down but I never know what to do when it is not Christmas. Want something I can leave up on the shelf for 9-10 months out of the year when it’s not Christmas decor. The brick color is staying so don’t even comment on that. TV is perfect height for us, so that’s not moving.

Ok hear me out. I know the photo on the left doesn’t look like the one on th right (the inspiration picture). Which is why I’m posting. The wood pieces, which I have to use (long story) were placed too high and we ran out. Would you 1) leave it and just add the plants and decor as is, 2) move them down (but this would create more holes 3) go to the old rehab store 2 years later and see if we can find the same old wood to add to it. If you don’t like the project that’s ok but not one of the choices 😊

HELP…..I might need to keep the wooden stand my hubby made 😬…..what can I put on it or do here ? The vase and the angel were given to us for Christmas by our youngest. They aren’t usually there. Just placed them there for the time being. We used to have a large two story Ficus Tree there (that was why he made the stand) .

Would like some privacy for this window in the evenings. Just not sure what would look nice.

It can take months from beginning to end to figure out the right place for stuff. A couple months ago I posted the before and after pictures of my messy linen closet. I donated several bags of old towels to the animal shelter. Well since then I’ve been cleaning up the shelves in my bathroom; I’ve never really settled on what to store on them. Until today. We had an important family phone call and after I was feeling restless and decided to go wrestle with those shelves. Something told me to try different sizes of my remaining matching towels on them and before long I’d found a solution! The other side I decided to put my different apothecary jars and labeled them. Sorry I didn’t wait for the daylight to show you but I couldn’t wait that long…

Paint Upper Fireplace?

Can someone please show me what it would look like to paint the upper white wall above the fireplace the color of the cabinet in the 2nd photo?

Opinions?

Edited to add: TV is not really important to us. It’s at eye level right now and we have no intention of moving it up! Also, this home is in Florida so we don’t really need/want a fireplace. Thanks!

We have this empty space above our TV. Unless I find something really special, I may just leave it empty. Your thoughts? Two restrictions that I absolutely will not do: No mirror and No clock!!!

Home Depot quoted me $20k for cabinet REFACING?! I loved the look that they showed me but I don’t need anything else and I was thinking it would come in closer to 10k. My kitchen is not big. 😩
Does this seem accurate or if anyone has experience with them - was it worth it?

I need help with my living room. I picked a very funky rug, which I'm in love with. But I need more color in here!! I don't want colored curtains.

But what should I add over the couch? And what kind of coffee table would look best in here?

All my furniture is an espresso color. I can't put the couches differently due to how small this space is. And we have a 100" tv to the right on the wall.

Please help!
I added another photo that shows what the view is from the large couch.

I want to see how yall organize and decorate BUILDER GRADE closets.

Looking for inspiration!
I want to see closets that are working off of the builder grade shelves and not gutting the closets for custom wardrobes 😂

We’re planning on adding a second shelf and closet rod on that back wall some point this year. But I also want to figure out how to have a dresser in here added but make it look more “custom” without breaking the budget.

My initial plan was to do a Pax wardrobe system but we’d rather not spend $2000 to redo the closet. Especially since this isn’t our forever home, just our first.

I’m all about things looking custom/built in/ and pretty so show me all yalls closets!

Hello, I am seeking guidance on painting my entryway. I have chosen a black color (Sherwin-Williams Iron Ore) and need help determining which ceiling features to highlight. Thanks for your help. Have a good weekend y’all.

Looking for opinions - My 11 year old daughter and I were in a disagreement over these whispy, drapey pine garlands that I got for this year's holidays. I like them because they are simple and somewhat whimsical, and nature-inspired just like a lot of my other Christmas decor that I got from crafters on the shop.
My dear sweet daughter, (who has strong opinions on anything home decor related) told me I must take them all back, they look “swampy.” She went on to say that SHREK would probably have them as part of his Christmas decor!!
Ouch…
The ones she wanted to get are big full garlands with balls and bling glued to them. We may argue over this until next christmas, so we'd love some help. What does everyone think?

I think it's really good to have water dispensers in every public place. What do you all think?

hi! looking for advice on what to do with (one of the many) built in ledges in my house! Eventually this will be a closet for the room on the other side or a shower for the bathroom next to it but for now it needs help. it just collects STUFF! it’s the first thing you see when you walk through our door. We have a picture wall with lights to the left of this

EDIT TO ADD- This is about 3Ft high, so a seat isn’t really an option.
Yes, as mentioned above, the goal is to eventually close this off. Not able to happen in the near future though..
