Kate Spade Desk Items
I’ve been working from home for exactly 2 months now. All the days are blending together and half the time I have to think about what day it is. I sit every day Monday-Friday from 7:50-4:00 at my desk. Of course, I get up to walk around, go to the bathroom, eat lunch. But for the bulk of the day I’m working/teaching virtually from my desk. I wrote a few months ago about my desk in my guest room. I wanted to make it pretty, but also functional and good thing since I’m working from it all the time now. What prompted me to write this post, besides the obvious…

Should You Invest in a Studio Apartment?
Studio apartments are small but functional living spaces, which are becoming increasingly popular in the American property market. Typical studio tenants include young professionals or students looking to strike out on their own. They often seek practical, stylish, and low-maintenance living accommodations. Also known as bachelor apartments, studios are self-contained units with private bathrooms. They usually follow a simple yet functional floorplan where your den, bedroom, and kitchen occupy the same space. While you likely won’t have sufficient space to entertain guests or bring in heavy furniture, it’s a pretty solid choice for students, singles, and young couples who can’t afford to buy or rent bigger properties yet. A studio also gives them the…

Moving Tips
It wasn’t exactly planned, but I moved twice in two years. I know. It’s a lot. And if you’ve moved before I’m sure you can agree that moving is a pain in the butt. When you first think about moving, there’s so much you forget about or don’t consider. Your first thought about the actual moving process is probably that you need to pack up all of your stuff. No big deal. But you might not consider just how many boxes you’ll need and what’s the best way to organize your things? And how much bubble wrap do you need for fragile things? There’s so much to think about! So…

Improve Your Home By Calling Upon Practical Technology
What does ‘practical technology’ mean? For me, it refers to any type of technology that can be used for practical benefits. In effect, you gain something from using it. A cell phone is a piece of practical technology as you can call people when you’re out of the house, check local maps, and so on. A camera isn’t practical as you don’t really gain any critical use out of it. Hopefully, that clears up what I mean, which brings us to the next question. How can you improve your home with practical technology? We’re lucky to have so many new technological developments in our lifetime – many of which can…

Spring Landscaping & Hardscaping
When I go for walks, which I so look forward to on all nice days since it’s about the only thing I’m able to do these days for some fresh air, I love looking at the landscaping of the houses I pass. Some houses you see really nicely done landscaping, wall manicured lawns and shrubs, fresh spring flowers, flowering trees, etc. Sometimes you see houses where you’re like “Oh that house would look nicer with some nice flowers or some new pavers.” And then there’s those houses where you’re like “What happened there?” or “Uh did someone abandon that house?” and they just look kind of sad with their driveways…
