Comments (30)claire and roses: Yep, won't have the washlet now but I'm putting the outlet there because who knows what we might need later on. journeymom: Sure, you gotta put your houseplants where you want to decorate with them or enjoy them. The book's author owns a commercial cleaning company and he thinks of everything in terms of cleaning efficiency. I do more and more with age and infirmity myself! I do recall a friend years ago who had a walk-through wide sunny hallway in her condo. She rounded up all her plants and installed a waterproof gravel lined area to one side. Put all her plants in there, closed off the doors on both ends, openened the blinds and had a mini-greenhouse. She visited with her plants to water and tend them. But for examples that might better illustrate his "concentrate the cleaning" concept I'll list some here. The idea is that it's easier to clean one small, very dirty area than to clean up moderate messes all over the place. * concentrate all your mail, keys, cellphone, backpacks, ets in one drop-off zone (we're all seeing these nowadays) * in fact EVERY room should have a similar control center as its dropoff zone for messy things. In a BR, group the garbage can, bokshelf, tissue dispenser, clothes hamper, junk drawer all together, preferably between the bed and the closset * this is mine: store everything you need for dressing/undressing in one place rather than all over the room. In our new MBR, we will have no dressers or other storage for clothes and such. It's all in the WIC along with a clothes hamper. Fresh linens have their own cabinets inside the WIC too. * the concept of various "centers" in your kitchen is an example: a prep. area where all the things you need to prepare raw foods are kept together. It should also be near the raw foods (the fridge mostly). And a baking center, with the appropriate gadgets plus flour, sugar, whatever you use all right there. Mess gets concentrated; cleanup is easier (theoretically) * for concentrating all the lint, loose threads, etc. you set up a laundry room where you also keep your sewing machine, ironing board, a folding table, and possibly any fur-bearing pets. * Design your house so family enters through one door where there is a walk-off mat, mudroom, half bath for people coming in from yardwork and similar, storage for all their stuff--esp. dirty sports gear, nearby laundry room, etc. Do not give family members a key to the front door. And like that!...See MoreBlack or white tablecloths for outdoor party?
Comments (41)I didn't get the chance to take any pre-party photos since I had several family members helping me set up and felt rather silly taking photos of the setup. However, the flowers are holding up great in the mason jars 5-days later--SIL thinks it may be due to the citrus in the water. I sent DS to choose flowers and he did a great job, keeping it simple. Here is one of the mason jars (5-days post party): DH has my camera with memory stick at the moment so when he gets back home I will look and see if there are any more pics there I can share....See MoreNew oval dining table questions
