Trying to figure out where in her bedroom it will fit in best. Among other things, I asked what could be removed from the rather small room, so we started with the remaining furniture to be placed. Very important to decide how long your child will be using the furniture, particularly the desk. Might it be a better idea to purchase a larger, more "grown-up" desk so they can use the same one until they...]]></description><link>https://www.well-placed.com/post/desk-for-a-child</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e7a5c90294e8c3f3ee6ca8</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:47:40 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/047d4c_437fe7e2968545a7b16df9174499e47f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Diane Kopasz</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get Eclectic!]]></title><description><![CDATA[any people wonder whether they can arrange their home into a cohesive look if they own furniture and accessories obtained from many different places and of varied styles.

We had the good fortune to stay, along with our friends and family, in an almost new home. We had plenty of room and had ample deck space to really enjoy ourselves. There was a total of 12 of us, plus company here and there, plus a couple of dogs. We stayed in for meals most of the time. The kitchen was designed and equipped for us to do so, and it was a lot of fun!

I relate it generally to what I help some of my clients approach, perhaps with trepidation. For example, there are folks moving from a couple to a family with a baby, or mid-lifers entering the empty-nest phase and thence into another, hopefully creative and productive phase.

Then, with the clothing that’s left, look at the kinds of hangers you are using. Think about investing in a non-slip type so you can hang your clothes neatly and easily.  Whatever kind of hanger you like to use, use only that kind in your closet.

Use a colorful fabric shower curtain for a festive or themed tablecloth , either indoors or out. It washes easily in the machine afterward – really- I put it on the gentle cycle and warm/cool and even tumble dry. Just keep an eye on it – it will dry quickly.

This was a variety hour hosted by stony-faced Ed who would introduce all sorts of singers or dancers, comedians and pet acts. One of my favorites was the artist who would come on with a stack of plates and long poles. To energetic music, he would set up the poles and spin the plates on top of each pole. He would start with one and eventually had maybe 10 plates spinning on those 10 poles.
