Desire to redecorate
or somehow freshen your home,
and don't
have the money to do so?
Why not move
your artwork or other accessories around?
The picture(s)
in your foyer might also look nice in the dining room.
Those statues
in the den might look great in the livingroom, etc.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Tired of thos
old metal kitchen canisters that hold sugar, flour, etc.
Why not usee
them as a fun planter for house plants.
Punch two
or more holes in the bottom for drainage and plant as ususal.
Use a mismatched
china plant or the plates that store bought pies come in saucers.
Place wherever
you wish.
Use the others
in your canister set to hold large serving spoons, spatulas, etc.,
or to organize
items in other parts of your home

Don't toss
out thos extra packets of condiments that accompany Fast food.
Put thos soy
sauce, mustard, may packets in a baggie or container
and put it
in the refrigerator for use on sandwiches and other food.
Put a baggie
filled with hot sauce, soy sauce, honey, mustard and catsup in your
drawer at
work for meals that can use a little seasoning at lunch or snack time.

That using
dryer sheets like Bounce is an excellent way to clean TV screens,
mirrors and
audio components?

dust and keep it coming back right away

:::::::::::::::::::::
Have old pearls
or other jewelry necklaces that you no longer wear?
Why not use
to tie back curtain drapes?
Only have
one, no problem,

back one panel to add interest to a drapery treatment.

That a recycled
32/38 oz. liquid laundry detergent container
makes a nifty
item in which to water house plants?
The pouring
spout allows water to flow into all size flower pots.
Wash or rinse
container thoroughly to get rid of soapy residue.
Remove label
if desired.

Craving a cup
of hot coco and don't have powdered coco?
No problem.
Simply heat
a cup of non-fat or low fat milk in a mug in the microwave
and drop half
a candy bar like Herseys or some other chocolate bar
(without nuts)
into the hot milk and stir until melted.
Add more if
desired and top with marshmallows if desired.
Don't have
marshmellows?
A spoon of
Cool Whip will also do the trick.
Enjoy.

That by displaying
Christmas ornaments in a clear cylinder
or glass bowl
that you can keep a bit of Christmas in your house year round?
Ornaments
now coime in pastel colors, silver, gold, purple with designs, etc.
Why not use
ornaments that accent the color sceme in your bath
or bedroom
or whereever you display them?
Place the
hangers on the bottom where they can't be seen in your arrangement.
In my dining
room I have red ornaments with gold strips along
with several
bright wine/red oned in a Zebra print vase.
The red/gold
highlight the one raspberry colored accent wall in my dining room.
The zebra
vase is naturakl in a house that has animal print accents though out.
