Read This Before You Downsize<\/h2>\n

As many of you know, we moved to a new to us home last year that was move-in ready after we did a total nine month remodel of the entire place.\u00a0 We actually upsized after downsizing eight years ago.\u00a0 Why did we upsize?\u00a0 Because our kids got married and started growing their families which made our old place too small.\u00a0 If you are considering downsizing, be sure to think it through.\u00a0 Here are some questions to ask yourselves first.\u00a0 Just click on the link below the photo.<\/p>\n

Cleaning a Seagrass Rug Border<\/h2>\n

Many of us own seagrass rugs with a cotton border around them.\u00a0 Well, those borders get dirty, but I came up with the perfect way to clean them to look like new again.<\/p>\n

I love a sewing project as long as it involves sewing straight lines.\u00a0 I can make pillow shams, shower curtains like in this post<\/a>, covers for decorative pillows like these<\/a>, duvet covers, and bed skirts.\u00a0 I showed you a great tip for a bed skirt using dental floss, and it is no fail.<\/p>\n

You know that we do a lot of traveling, and I like to carry my luggage onto the plane with me.\u00a0 I went against that rule when we went on a cruise in December because my hand was in a cast.\u00a0 Consequently, our luggage did not arrive on the ship till Wednesday, which was four days after the cruise started!!!\u00a0 So, I vowed that from now till eternity, I will not check my luggage.\u00a0 Sometimes we are gone for three weeks, which means I have to wash clothes during the trip.\u00a0 Since I wear things that I don’t want thrown into a hot laundromat dryer, I do a lot of laundry in the hotel sink.\u00a0 Making and taking detergent sheets helps me conveniently have detergent on hand.<\/p>\n

Updating Furniture with Paint<\/h2>\n

Probably all of you have painted at least one piece of furniture during your lives, but the truth is…..painting furniture is a great tip.\u00a0 And you still love reading posts about it.\u00a0 Jordan really livened up a dated desk from her childhood bedroom with a bright coat of hot pink paint.\u00a0 She thought outside of the box, and it makes quite a statement in her home office.<\/p>\n
