My small house was like a puzzle, everything had one place that it could fit.

My husband’s closet was actually a linen cabinet in the hall. My canned goods fit in a neat and tidy corner of our basement on plastic shelving.

We had baking dishes on wire shelving on an enclosed back porch. We put beds on risers to give us more space for things under the beds.

Gather inspiration from some of our favorite pictures of libraries. Whether the style of your home is traditional, modern, or somewhere in between, we’ve got decor for everyone.

Oh how I wish I had been blogging 10 years ago (was anyone blogging back then, or was that before the internet was invented?)!

That would have been a fun house to talk about. We did so much to that adorably small house to make work for our family.

Choosy Women’s Living Room Idea:

Got that entrepreneurial itch but don’t know what to do with it? Consider launching a business that you can run right from your living room.

Just because you start a company doesn’t mean you have to rent an office and put a sign out front. In fact, according to Business.gov, “Over half of all U.S. businesses are based out of an owner’s home.”

The concept of the man cave is to define that personal space somewhere in the house where guys can be guys and enjoy “guy” things.

So what about that “woman cave” or the trending “mom cave”?  First off, the name “woman cave” doesn’t fly to well at all and I’ll be honest, “cave” isn’t very appealing to me either plus not all women are moms.

  When determining a theme and choose a pattern for decorating walls, need to be considered the main users of this bath room, because it would have been different styles for teens with adults.

Starting from the color scheme you choose the ceramic patterns such as animals, flowers will have great impact on the interior of the bathroom. (more…)

Home solar system:

The diagram at bottom demonstrates the various uses for home-generated solar power.
As the PV cells in your panel or array send a flow of electrons into your charge controller, it determines whether this power is needed for home use or whether it will charge a deep-cycle solar battery to be drawn upon later on.

The DC current leaving the controller can be used as is to run certain electronic devices that don’t require an alternating current. All other current must pass through a DC to AC inverter, transforming it into electricity usable by general household appliances. At this point all surplus electricity not being drawn by your home can be sent to your utility company’s power grid.

Your grid-connected system will halt the little disc in your electric meter and actually cause it to spin backwards, making you money! (more…)
