Give up that office, make way for tiny human.

Got an office, your own work space? Forget about it! Time to give it up to the next generation. Rethink small spaces and de-clutter. You'll be amazed how much stuff you don't really use.

Bye bye nerdy office!
Hello, Lyra's room.

My take on carpets. I think they are the worst thing ever invented, ESPECIALLY if you have pets (we have two Papillons). If you can, I would suggest getting rid of old carpet.

The Facts
While old carpet is frequently considered an allergy trigger, the truth is that all carpets have the potential to cause allergy problems. New carpets sometimes emit chemical odors that cause headaches, dizziness and other allergy symptoms. Old carpets tend to cause allergy problems because they contain years of dust, dander and dirt buildup that, even with cleaning, has not been completely removed.

• It just happened that we had some left over flooring from an older project, so it did not cost us anything to update the flooring. If this is not an option for you, make sure to check out my ~ Concrete Staining ~ post. We stained the concrete for less than $150, turning our bedroom floor into a beautiful allergen free, hand-decorated "piece of art" that both my husband and I can feel proud about.
