Easy Summer Organization Tips and Hints

New Post has been published on http://miamiwebdesignbyniva.com/index.php/2019/06/05/easy-summer-organization-tips-and-hints/

Easy Summer Organization Tips and Hints

With summertime rapidly approaching, now is the time to do a few of those cleaning activities you were delaying before holiday trips and fun take over. Some simple organization tips are provided in this article.

While doing a seasonal switch of your attire, try to pare down on some of your closet excesses. If there is something you haven’t worn in a year or two, it is possibly best to get rid of it. Consider doing a clothes list (count the number of each item you have), then decide on a target amount of each type of clothing (dress shirts, shoes, jeans, socks, etc.) you want to cut back to. After you pare down to where you want to be, it will be straightforward to get eliminate one item each time you purchase an item.

Do you have a number of pics from previous vacations that are all over the place? Take some time to merge all your pics to one spot and then think of a file structure to keep them organized. Make sub-folders as needed so you can easily locate things. Merely make sure it is a system you will stick to.

If you’ve got a number of long handled garden tools along with brooms that are messy, attempt to straighten them up for the spring and summer gardening season. Buy a wall mount organizer (also called a mop and broom holder) to properly secure them to a wall. Organizers typically have 5 slots and it simply needs three screws along with wall anchors (which are included in the box) to mount it for very easy installation.

To take care of the paper clutter, make an effort to begin a “mail center.” A “mail center” is just using a letter holder to arrange your mail. Make use of a tiered letter holder and put it in or near the entrance (put a table in the entrance way preferably). Make use of one tray for bills and stuff that needs urgent attention, use the second one for mail requiring your significant other or various other family or house mates’ input, and then use the last one for social events, and so on. Get rid of junk mail in the shredder or recycle immediately. Also, if you get a lot of credit card offers, you can opt out of prescreened offers at http://www.optoutprescreen.com or call toll free at 1-888-5-OPT OUT (1-888-567-8688).

One last summer season suggestion is to stock your pantry. If friends or family visit you can have some macaroni, brownie mix, etc. ready for some quick dinners and deserts.

The Benefits of Pantry Organizers

New Post has been published on http://miamiwebdesignbyniva.com/index.php/2019/06/05/the-benefits-of-pantry-organizers/

The Benefits of Pantry Organizers

Visibility is a must for an easy to use pantry. All of your items in the pantry should be easily accessible. Baskets and door racks can be the best containers to arrange your spice bottles, or canned goods, and other smaller items. Door racks are ideal for pantry organization and can be found in metal or plastic. Lazy Susan’s will give you more room in your pantry space and also keep you from wasting a lot of time and effort trying find what you need.

Pantry storage can be utilized to the fullest when organizers are used. Some stores specialize in container products, and have a variety of ideas and products for this purpose.

Slide Out organizers are excellent for simplifying your search of items otherwise hard to reach areas. This type of shelving is also ideal for placing small appliances, canned goods, boxed goods, snacks, household cleaning items and many other frequently used products. Many slides are manufactured with quality wire for premium function.

An interesting idea is a 24-Pocket Organizer which can be used to hang on a pantry door for organization. This is a great idea for storing small packets of foods, snacks, and even children’s crayons and small toys, winter gloves or pet items. Your may have many other items that will work with this type of organizer.

For can goods or soda cans, an adjustable can organizer is a versatile product. It can be used vertically or expanded horizontally for proper size. This way you can rotate canned foods and have plenty on hand. They are also stackable.

If you are interested in a custom pantry, many online or home improvement stores carry closet systems. You can find full-extension drawers in solid woods. There are also many custom items such as wine racks or stemware hanger that may be of interest.

The 10 Biggest Organizing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them!

New Post has been published on http://miamiwebdesignbyniva.com/index.php/2019/06/05/the-10-biggest-organizing-mistakes-and-how-to-avoid-them/

The 10 Biggest Organizing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them!

Many people want to get organized but don’t know how to take the first step. Unfortunately, the first step many of them take is the wrong step! Here are the ten biggest mistakes that would-be organizers make, and how to avoid them.

1. Waiting for a large block of available time

Many disorganized people say that they will get organized when they have a completely free weekend, or when they can take a few days off from work. There are several problems with this approach. One is that it postpones getting started. Another is that higher priority tasks always crop up, and the seemingly free block of time rarely ends up being used exclusively for organizing. Spending a full weekend organizing can be exhausting! It’s better to start in small increments — an evening here, a few weekend hours there. Some organizing tasks can even be completed while watching television, or waiting for the laundry to finish. The important thing is to get started!

2. Being discouraged by the big picture

Many people want to get organized but feel overwhelmed by the size of their organizing problem. They don’t know where to start, so they don’t start at all. The Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” There are no shortcuts to organizing. Decide where you are going to start – pick one cabinet, or one section of a room, or one closet – and just start!

3. Hiding clutter in the closet

In an effort to make one’s home presentable to guests, many people deal with clutter by shoving it into a shopping bag and hiding it in the closet. There is nothing wrong with that, as long as it is just a short-term fix. It is important to take those shopping bags out of the closet after the guests leave and make decisions about the contents. Otherwise you will have trouble locating those items when you need to find them again, and you may also be giving prime storage space to many things you don’t need to keep.

4. Buying organizing products first

Stores like The Container Store and Bed, Bath and Beyond are full of great organizing products. However, it is important to first measure how much stuff needs to be stored. Start by sorting out the different types of items to be organized, and getting rid of the items you no longer need to keep. Next decide how you are going to organize the items, and where you are going to keep them. Only then are you ready to start considering organizing products.

5. Reading multiple organizing books

In this self-help culture, there is no shortage of books on organizing In their desperation to get organized, many people buy several of these books. However, since each organizer has his or her own methodology, reading several books without getting started will only be confusing. It is better to read one book and follow that author’s approach to get organized. Then, if there are aspects of that system that aren’t working well for you, you can consult additional books to find other ideas. Another alternative is to hire a professional organizer, who will work with you to come up with an organizing system custom-tailored for you.

6. Putting things in storage

The self-storage industry grossed over $20 billion in this country in 2007, and one out of every 10 households in the U.S. currently rents a self-storage unit. Yes, there are situations in which it is quite appropriate to rent a storage unit. However, many people opt for a storage unit as an alternative to making decisions about their possessions. After you have lived without your stored items for a year, you can safely say that these are not items that are useful to you. Instead of wasting your money storing them, make decisions about them now.

7. Asking the wrong person for help

Organizing can go faster and be more enjoyable if you have company. However, no matter how enthusiastic your friends or family members are about helping you, they may be too emotionally involved in your clutter situation to be objective. The last thing you need to hear is, “I can’t believe you let things get this bad!” or “You’re just like your father; he could never throw anything away either!” You’ll find the organizing process easier and far more productive if you work with a professional organizer.

8. Getting distracted from decision-making

Clutter, it has been said, is the result of postponed decisions. The process of getting organized is thus one of decision-making. However, some people get distracted from making decisions and start reading through unread papers or going down memory lane while reviewing photo albums. It is important to stay focused while organizing. Items that need detailed review in order for decisions to be made should be put aside in a “Review” pile and dealt with at another time.

9. Not involving the rest of your household

The habits of the other members of your household are very likely contributing to your home’s organizing issues. Furthermore, items that are used by everyone (such as kitchen and bathroom supplies, CDs and DVDs) need to be organized in a way that everyone can find them. Make sure that you have the cooperation of everyone in your household in making your organizing decisions.

10. Keeping something “just in case”

We all know the frustration of throwing something away and then regretting it later because you suddenly find the perfect use for it. To compensate, we then save too many items, “just in case”. However, the amount of storage space taken up by those “just in case” items – which will most likely never be used again — far outweighs the inconvenience of having to rebuy things that we have discarded in error. Unless you can think of a use for something right now, let it go.

I hope this article will prevent you from going down the wrong path when you get ready to organize. Happy sorting!

New Book Teaches Clutter-Removal From Your Home, Office, and Life

New Post has been published on http://miamiwebdesignbyniva.com/index.php/2019/06/05/new-book-teaches-clutter-removal-from-your-home-office-and-life/

New Book Teaches Clutter-Removal From Your Home, Office, and Life

Are you tired of seeing that messy room but you never get around to cleaning it? Do you feel overwhelmed just by the thought of organizing your closet or kitchen, and you don’t even know where to start? Then you’ve found the right book. Calming Your Chaos is written by someone who has not only been there, but she’s been there so many times that she’s developed multiple simple and practical strategies for getting organized, clearing out your clutter, and taking back control of your space and life.

Elisa Hawkinson learned her organizational skills after moving more than twenty times. Besides having to train a husband and two sons to stay organized, she has had to pack and move continually for her husband’s job. She also knows about downsizing when the children grow up and leave home. She knows about downsizing further when your spouse passes away. She knows about staying organized in someone else’s space when you remarry, and she understands the dynamics in families that result in one spouse’s clutter becoming frustrating to the other, who may perhaps see her husband’s mess of tools, but not her own overflowing closet.

Elisa has been so successful at helping people get organized that she has become a professional organizer with her own business. She has been hired by wives to help them clean their homes, only to impress the husbands so much that they’ve allowed her to tackle their garages. In one case, Elisa even saved a marriage after a wife filed divorce papers, threatening to leave if her husband didn’t get rid of his junk. Fortunately, Elisa not only was able to help him clean out his garage, but she also helped to talk him through why he was hanging onto his stuff so he could learn to let it go.

But where do you begin to clean up your clutter? Each chapter of Calming Your Chaos offers practical tips and suggestions for every space you may want to tackle. Elisa provides a monthly calendar with lists of things to clean or organize each month, depending on what is most practical, such as taking out or putting away things you will need for specific seasons or holidays. Nor is the book all about cleaning. It’s also about being practical and organized in all areas of your life, including what you buy, which ultimately could add to your clutter. I especially loved Elisa’s advice to “Pray before you shop.”

The chapters are very specific, focusing on different rooms in the house. In many cases, Elisa provides photos to provide visual references for how things can look when you use file folders, special shelving units, or other organizational tools. Everything from the kitchen and bathroom to the garage and basement are covered in these chapters.

Personally, I think the chapter on moving is the most helpful. Elisa shares her numbering system for boxes so you know what you’ve packed in each box and you can categorize it so what you most need can be found and opened first when you arrive at your new location.

But perhaps most importantly, Elisa asks us to look at why we have clutter in our lives. After all, the book’s title, Calming Your Chaos, reflects the lack of peace we may feel and which is often reflected in our clutter. Elisa bravely tells us about the issues from her childhood that she had to deal with to get her life better organized. She also discusses how grief can be overwhelming and how to cope with life after the loss of a spouse or loved one. One of the best suggestions she gives relates to the sentimental attachments we have to our belongings. She asks us to think of giving away our belongings not as parting with our memories but as blessing someone else with the items. She even suggests hosting a party to share the stories associated with items we want to give away so they become meaningful to their new recipients.

Anyone who wants a more organized life, whether in regards to a home, office, or schedule, will find Calming Your Chaos to be filled with realistic and doable suggestions. While I still have some of my own chaos to calm, after reading this book, I felt less guilt about getting rid of things I didn’t really want or need, and I was motivated to clean out the bathroom medicine cabinet and straighten up my messy office. We can all use a little less chaos in our lives, and having Elisa help us is a great place to start.

School Locker Organizer Ideas

New Post has been published on http://miamiwebdesignbyniva.com/index.php/2019/06/04/school-locker-organizer-ideas/

School Locker Organizer Ideas

Your school offers lockers to help you store all the things you need throughout the school day for your classes. The only trouble is that it’s just a big open space that isn’t very handy for storing things like books, papers pencils and other small items that you need for your studies. You need to get organized. Take a look at the following tips and ideas on what kind of school locker organizer might be right for you.

Ideas for School Locker Organizers

One of the first things you’ll want to do as you think about your locker organization is how do you want to use your locker, and what kinds of things are you going to keep in it. If you’re like most students, you’re going to have a fair number of books for all your classes. Locker shelves are going to be important for your organization. Are you going to have wet gear of any kind, such as gym clothes, swim suits, rain gear, etc? If so, you might want to get a locker basket to store them.

Another idea for handling wet gear is getting a battery-powered locker fan. This will help them dry out faster and will minimize odors. Another good reason for a basket or other small container is to organize small items like pens and pencils, art equipment or other small tools you need at some point during the school day.

Features to Consider in a School Locker Organizer

Making a list of the kinds of features you want to have to be able to organize your locker is a great way to make sure you pick the right one for you:

Get the Right dimensions

This one is critical. Make sure you know what size your locker is so that you can get an organizer that will fit inside.

Hanging Locker Organizer

Be sure to check to see if your locker has a way of accommodating the hooks or hangers of a hanging organizer. If it does, this is one of the best ways to maximize your locker space. Look for an organizer that starts right at the top of the locker and goes all the way to the bottom. One of the advantages of this type of locker organization is that you can use it in other places when school is out to help you keep organized, since they can be hung from closet coat rods as well.

Locker Baskets

You may want to be able to have an enclosed storage unit in your locker for gym closes and shower gear. If you’re going to be storing wet items like swim suits, be sure to check what the basket is made out of and can handle prolonged exposure to water. * Ease of installation – be sure to look for something that will be easy to get in and out of the locker so that you’re not struggling with it at the beginning and end of the school term, or if you should ever be required to change lockers.

Taking just a little time to look for the school locker organizer that will suit your needs will pay off in your reduced frustration throughout the year.

Effortless Closet Organizing For the Busy Person

New Post has been published on http://miamiwebdesignbyniva.com/index.php/2019/06/04/effortless-closet-organizing-for-the-busy-person/

Effortless Closet Organizing For the Busy Person

Wrestling with the clothing clutter inside of your closet on a daily basis is not anyone’s idea of a fun time. Often closet clearing is the number one task to avoid because closets can be emotional hotbeds of feeling. How we organize our closet and what we put in it reflects some truths back that often we do not want to see. If you are suffering from messy closet syndrome and want a quick fix take the time to consider some quick closet organizing strategies that will work wonders for you.

Organizing your closet can be surprisingly easy and infinitely rewarding when you know what to do. So where to start, how to do this? The very first challenge is to get into decision making mode again and this means decluttering your closet before you organize.

A quick five minute sort out using several new clutter free standards can transform your closet in minutes. To help you get organized here is a list of guidelines to help to let go of your clothing clutter. If letting go of your clothing takes you out of your comfort zone focus on the clothing that you want to keep to make decision making easier.

Choose to let go of clothing, that is:

• Too big or too small • Not comfortable • Wrong Color • No intention of repairing or altering it • Past its use by date • You haven’t worn it in a year • Bad associations • No longer reflects your lifestyle

Keep the clothing that is:

• Right size, fits well and looks good • Comfortable • Right Color • Attractive shape, color and neckline • You wear seasonally • In good condition • Does not need altering or repairs

To make this process easier use two large garbage bags, one for clothing that needs to be tossed and one for clothing in good condition that can be given to charity. Get yourself in the letting go zone; choose your clutter free standard and make quick yes/no decisions.

Clearing out your closet will create more space plus decrease your clothing confusion so you reconnect to what you love to wear. Once you are in this mindset making the decision to keep, let go and organize is quicker and easier. Now that you can see what you own separate your clothing into categories and hang or put similar items together. This will instantly organize every item you own and you will be able to see what clothes you need to buy to make your wardrobe complete.

The next question is, do you need more space? Remember we use twenty percent of our wardrobe eighty percent of the time. Are there any more clothes that can go? As you continue to declutter consider some organizing closet solutions. You can add another rod and hang shorter items on the bottom and longer items on the top. Do you need metal hangers with clips for hanging multiple skirts or trousers? Hooks on doors, tie racks and suit hangers will help you create more organizing solutions for your closet.

Make a start, it doesn’t take long to clear out and organize your closet so you can free up your time, feel better about what you wear and discover the closet organizing solutions that will work well for you.

Is Clutter The Bane Of Your Existence?

New Post has been published on http://miamiwebdesignbyniva.com/index.php/2019/06/04/is-clutter-the-bane-of-your-existence/

Is Clutter The Bane Of Your Existence?

I am one of those people who can’t seem to live a clutter free life. In my home, there are small boxes loaded with papers, instructions, etc, that I keep going through to organize and throw away the contents once and for all. The problem is, the boxes never seem to empty. There always seems to be one piece of paper, one cut out coupon, one paper with a phone number or two on it that never comes out of this box. Why? We ask?

Because we want to keep it but we don’t know what to do with it, so it remains CLUTTER. I will admit it, I am a Clutterholic.

I panic and still shudder when my doorbell rings and someone wants to come in. I look and see that with the piles of papers sitting on both the coffee and kitchen table, my home does not look as pristine perfect as anything in House Beautiful. And you know that we Clutterholics are being judged by the chronically neat and organized.

You could almost hear the clicking in their heads, what a mess, how could they live like that? These people are lucky. They don’t have that Clutter gene. Too bad they haven’t invented a pill that will retrain our brain to not clutter, but they haven’t.

Instead, the ones with the organization gene have created businesses to help us Clutterholics give up the habit. There are businesses that sell organizing solutions for your closets, where to hang your pants, dresses and suits, where to shelve your shoes and handbags, where to stow your jewelry or even your underwear. Big box stores sell the shelving for customizing your closet and even design a system for you. But even if you bought all these items, how long will it sit before you install. And now the closet organizers become clutter. Some of us are absolutely helpless.

There are also so many books to buy telling us what to do so reorganizing doesn’t become too overwhelming. I admit, one tip that I have failed to follow is using a timer, setting it for 15 or 20 minutes to clean out an area for things to toss or giveaway. When the timer goes off, stop working. The advice is that if you do this exercise on a regular basis, the Cluttered area will eventually empty and you won’t be so overwhelmed. It is good advice and I may follow it someday. Another book suggests to tackle the kitchen sink first. Well, that is probably the only place in the house that does not stay cluttered. I wash and put away the dishes and pots the same day. No brainer. But there is always someone with a different method or advice and I will continually seek them out hoping that my declutter books don’t become clutter themselves.

Makeover and Remodel Your Motorhome or RV

New Post has been published on http://miamiwebdesignbyniva.com/index.php/2019/06/04/makeover-and-remodel-your-motorhome-or-rv/

Makeover and Remodel Your Motorhome or RV

Ten Good Reasons to Remodel Your RV:

1.Remodeling is the most economical way to get a true upgrade. As opposed to trading in your RV, remodeling enables you to add the features you need and the look you’ve always wanted at a mere fraction of the cost of a new RV.

2.Remodeling is the process of customizing and decorating an RV to suit your specific lifestyle as well as your personal tastes. There’s no other way to accomplish this task.

3.Tasteful and competent remodeling adds value to an RV. This added value ultimately results in a higher selling price. Remodeled RVs also tend to sell faster because interested buyers don’t want to miss out on an irreplaceable item.

4.Remodeled RVs tend to be of a higher quality than those that that haven’t. Remodeling, when done properly, is a successful collusion of creativity, quality materials, and workmanship. While some companies claim to accomplish this feat at the factory, it’s hard to compete with a proud owner that has all the time in the world.

5.The primary difference between a $175,000 RV and a $375,000 RV is the interior. Shrewd owners use skillful interior remodeling and selective upgrades to create a luxury RV at a fraction of the cost of a new high-end model.

6.Remodeling is extremely enjoyable as well as rewarding. Whether you’re changing the style, or adding new features, remodeling projects are often filled with excitement and anticipation of a new living space.

7.Even though high-end RVs cost considerably more than a typical home, many lack even the most basic amenities including dishwashers, garbage disposals, book shelves, desks, and Internet access.

8.Remodeled RVs have significantly more storage space than new models. RV manufacturers don’t have the time to install closet organizers, drawer dividers, rotating shelves, and pull-out cabinet inserts.

9.Even though there are more than two million full-time RVers, there’s no such thing as a special model for full-timers. The qualities that make a good full-timing RV have to be implemented by its owners.

10.A huge number of people routinely remodel their RVs. The five most commonly performed remodeling projects are:

a. Replacing or upgrading the flooring

b. Reupholstering the furniture

c. Upgrading the window treatments

d. Painting or wallpapering the walls

e. Replacing the dinette with a table and set of chairs

Chrome Wire Shelving - Sleek, Lightweight, and Affordable Shelving Storage Units

New Post has been published on http://miamiwebdesignbyniva.com/index.php/2019/06/04/chrome-wire-shelving-sleek-lightweight-and-affordable-shelving-storage-units/

Chrome Wire Shelving - Sleek, Lightweight, and Affordable Shelving Storage Units

Chrome wire shelving is versatile and inexpensive. Wire shelves are better than the older-style flat metal shelves. They are less prone to rust or dent, and they are much stronger than any alternative type of metal shelving storage unit.

The list of ways you can use chrome wire shelving is virtually endless. Wire shelves make a great addition to pantries, dorm rooms, entryways and mudrooms, utility rooms, and garages. They are appropriate for home, commercial, or office use. Wire shelving storage units can be used to store, organize, or display almost anything.

There are many types of chrome wire shelving. Specialty wire closet organizers come in all shapes and sizes, each tailored for a specific item like belts, ties, dresses, or shoes. There are even chrome wire trays with suction cups attached for holding all your shampoos and bath accessories in the shower.

Shelving storage units usually come in one of two types. One style is the traditional-style 3, 4, or 5-shelf vertical unit, which is perfect for displaying collections, holding a large book or DVD collection, or even as a replacement for a bulky wooden entertainment center. The second style is a newer, more modern-looking set of interlocking “storage cubes.” Sets of six cubes snap together with plastic fasteners, and it’s up to you to create the arrangement. The funky, geometrical look of these shelving units make them ideal for kids, dorm rooms, or modern home decorators.

The shiny look of chrome adds a lot of spice to a room. It is clean, elegant, tasteful, and matches with just about anything. It’s a great way to add a modern touch to a home. Chrome wire shelving is a lot less expensive than traditional wood furniture, but that doesn’t mean it has to look like makeshift furniture. It’s possible for your chrome wire shelving to look nice for a long time, as long as you take care to select a shelving unit that is treated with some type of anti-scratch coating or epoxy.

Chrome wire shelving and shelving storage units are far more economical than traditional furniture. They are also far less bulky, and it’s easy to fit them in a small car trunk. They assemble quickly and easily. After they’re set up, it’s easy to transport them around or disassemble them for future moves. For these reasons, they are great for those who are short on funds, switch around their furniture often, move often, or just love the look of chrome and the convenience of wire shelving.

The Sellers Even Took The Light Bulbs!

The Sellers Even Took The Light Bulbs!

After being in residential real estate over ten years, you think you have heard or seen it all. Late this last winter I was at a party and some new first-time homeowners shared with me their recent experience at a final walk-through before closing. They met their real estate agent at the property filled with excitement for their last look before they took legal ownership and possession. The buyer thought the house looked strangely dark when they drove up. It was dark, very dark! The sellers had taken every light bulb inside and out. They reasoned since they weren’t attached that they could take them along with the rest of their personal property. While this isn’t typical, you should know the difference between personal property and a fixture.

-Personal property. Defined as items that are easily removed and not permanently attached to property. Rugs, draperies, furniture, mirrors hung as pictures, fireplace tools, draperies, patio furniture and outdoor play equipment, appliances and window air conditioners are typical personal property.

-Fixture. Personal property that has permanently been added to real estate. Built-in bookcases, closet organizers, light fixtures (but not their light bulbs!), automatic garage door openers are some examples of fixtures. Heating ,cooling, plumbing systems are fixtures too, but don’t readily fall into a gray zone.

-Bill of sale. All personal property included with the sale of a property is transferred from the seller to the buyer through a bill of sale. Make sure you deliver or receive one for all personal property conveyed at closing or escrow.

How to Fix a Broken Cabinet

How to Fix a Broken Cabinet

Cabinets are meant to last for decades. However, there are circumstances that may ruin them long before they are meant to deteriorate. Certain accidents, for example, may greatly damage various parts of the cabinet.

Now, when your cabinet gets broken, you are provided with two choices: to replace the cabinet with a new unit or to repair it. The first choice is definitely easier. Economically speaking, however, fixing a broken cabinet can be a better choice.

There are many ways to fix a broken cabinet, and these basically depend on the actual parts damaged and the level or degree of damage. A slightly damaged cabinet is generally easier to fix than a severely broken one. Damage to the smaller parts of the cabinet is also easier to repair compared to damage on larger parts.

Problems on doors and hinges (inefficient swaying of doors, doors drooping on one side, etc.) are among the easiest to fix. Sometimes, tightening the hinge mounting screws easily solves the problem. If this doesn’t work, you may try replacing the hinge screws with larger and longer ones. If the screw holes or mounting locations are already badly damaged, you may try moving the hinges to a different spot where the wood is stronger.

Broken cabinet drawers are also quite easy to fix, especially if they are simply stuck or jammed. Tapping the drawer slightly is often an effective way to pop the drawer slide back in place. Sometimes, only the runners need to be replaced. If the problem is with the slide, then one must determine whether the problem lies in the screw holding the slide or the slide itself. If one or more screws holding the slide have fallen out, then replacing the screws can solve the problem. But if the slide itself is already broken, you don’t have much choice but to replace the slide with a new one.

A broken cabinet frame or damaged cabinet wood probably requires the most work. If the damage is minor and on a part that is not too exposed, you can just re-assemble the broken pieces and hold them together with wood glue. For more severe damage, one can replace the large piece of wood that is broken with a newly cut piece of the same wood species. An alternative is to use an epoxy wood repair kit to seal the broken area.

So if your kitchen or bathroom cabinet is broken, assess the damage first before replacing the cabinet with a new unit. If the damage is minor, then you can save a lot if you fix it instead of buying a new one.

Cabinet Doors

Cabinet Doors

Cabinet doors come in all materials, shapes, sizes, and price ranges. The strength or durability of a cabinet is determined by the quality of the cabinet doors; therefore, it is essential to choose a cabinet that has a superior quality door. Cabinet manufacturers customize cabinet doors in various shapes, styles and materials.

Most cabinet manufacturers use different woods for cabinet doors including solid wood cope and stick raised panel, square and arched mitered, recessed panel and solid wood. Other than natural wood, manufacturers also use MDF (medium-density fiberboard) and RTF (ridged thermo foil) for constructing cabinet doors. MDF is an excellent substitute for solid wood as it is uniform, very dense, smooth and free of knots and grain patterns.

Cabinet doors made of MDF have no joints and do not crack after they have been painted. MDF has a smooth and shiny surface and can be glued easily onto the cabinets.

Cabinet doors fitted with RTF veneers also look like natural wood. RTF does not require the tedious care and upkeep of natural woods and is fast becoming the most popular choice for homeowners. Other commonly used cabinet doors are stainless steel, aluminum, laminate and veneer.

Accessorizing cabinet doors is an important aspect of embellishing cabinets. There are four main types of decorative hardware including knobs, pulls, cup pulls and drop pulls. Knobs are circular and can be attached to a cabinet with one screw. Pulls are installed with two screws and are available in variety of materials such as metal and leather.

Storage Advantages and Disadvantages of Plastic Garden Sheds

Storage Advantages and Disadvantages of Plastic Garden Sheds

As the number of storage sheds for sale increases, making a wise choice of which one to purchase becomes more needed. With today’s shaking economic stability, it is a good way of making sure that something good will be gotten out of your hard-earned money. That is of course apart from making sure that your outdoor items that will be stored in them are indeed protected.

There are various types of sheds for sale. There is a shed made of metal, wood, plastic and vinyl. Each of these materials got their own set of advantages and disadvantages. The knowledge of what they can and cannot give you is generally a big help to making that wise decision of which one to pick.

Plastic garden sheds are some of those that are continuously gaining the attention of the public. Basically, it is because of the advantages they have over metal, wood and vinyl sheds. Sure, a plastic storage building can also serve as a tool shed or as a shed for other functions, like sheltering a bike or other vehicles, same with others. However, there are things that make them distinct and of edge.

One of those said things is their being economical. With them, you can actually purchase a shed in a cheap price yet still of great quality. And that kind of storage is exactly what is needed nowadays.

Apart from that, plastic sheds are also easier to assemble with only a few tools needed to get them erected. If you are someone not into building or assembling things, this type will sure do you a favour. In addition, some of these sheds are modular. That means that you can add other elements into them, for example more shelves and racks.

Yet another advantage of this type of storage building is the low maintenance that they require. Unlike those made of wood, they are not prone to termite invasion. And unlike metal sheds, they cannot be rusted.

However, like other products, plastic garden sheds also got disadvantages. For one, they cannot completely blend to the natural environment of your yard. Sure, a lot of them now are beautifully painted to be also decorative just like those sheds produced by keter and duramax. But then, they can never radiate classic beauty as an oak or a timber can. In addition to that, there are some of them that are not UV protected. That makes them fade over a short period of time if directly exposed to sunlight.

Top Ten Real Estate Trends Of 2007

Top Ten Real Estate Trends Of 2007

Do you know what’s hot in real estate trends right now? Check out these top ten trends that are all the rage in the marketplace right now.

Hardwood Floors– Realtors overwhelmingly agree that most buyers are looking for hardwood floors. It is a safe bet that wood flooring will never go out of style and appeal to the majority of homebuyers. Bamboo flooring is also a hot new “green” trend that can give you a natural wood feel without harming the environment.

Fantastic Fixtures- Replacing knobs, drawer pulls, and fixtures is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to makeover any bathroom and/or kitchen. Most new homes are constructed with chintzy fixtures and give the feeling of cheap. Update your fixtures to add a stylish new look to your kitchen or bathroom.

Quality Countertops- It’s really all about slab granite countertops. Everyone wants them, and everyone’s getting them. Adding granite can make any kitchen look sleek and contemporary. Don’t like granite? Not a problem. Marble, ceramic tile, and engineered stone are also all the rage this year.

An Impressive Entryway- Essentially, the entryway is the first thing everyone sees when they walk into your home. Make a good impression. I always tell sellers to put a fresh coat of paint on the front door and paint entry hall in a warm color. Also try adding pictures, a small table, and some plants to liven things up. You want guests and buyers to feel welcome when they first walk into your home.

Stunning Bathrooms- No doubt whirlpool baths, steam showers, and marble countertops are appealing to just about everyone. Today’s home buyers are looking for these luxury amenities, though affordability is always an issue. You can spruce up your outdated bathroom without expensive additions by adding a beautiful framed mirror, sconce lighting, and a warm color scheme.

Stainless Steel Appliances- The commercial kitchen feel of stainless steel appliances can make anyone feel like a celebrity chef. Esthetically, stainless steel looks clean, professional, and valuable… a hot trend for 2007.

Ambient Lighting- “Lighting is probably the most overlooked, yet most important aspect of interior decoration,” says designer Simon Temprell. Recessed lighting, sconces, and/or track lighting can add appeal to any room by setting the right mood.

Green Grass- Many homebuyers have families or are planning to have children. Therefore, most of them are looking for a home with a grassy yard for kids to play. Adding a concrete patio or rock garden is a waste of time; instead, spend the money on putting in some grass.

Closet Organizers- Any woman knows that a chintzy or unorganized closet can spell disaster. Installing closet organizers is a relatively cheap and easy addition. Don’t forget about your kitchen pantries and bathroom closets as well.

Specialty Rooms- Anything from theater rooms, playrooms, wine cellars, work-out rooms, and even mediation rooms are fair game these days. Specialty rooms are a huge trend right now and can add alluring selling points to any home.

As sub-prime market is gone. Now more buyers are finding creative through lease purchase. There are many real estate companies offers lease purchase such as www.butterflylister.com
