So many of our homes have not only a Living Room, but also a Great Room or a Family room where we "live" most of the time.  That Living Room is standing there not being used when it could be repurposed for a new activity.

Maybe it could become a Music Room with a piano and/or other musical instruments filling the space, if you have a musician or some budding musicians in your family.  Or, maybe Dad really likes to play pool.  Believe it or not, lots of Living Rooms and even Dining Rooms have been repurposed so that the family can enjoy a game of pool!

Or, perhaps you are now an "Empty Nester", as your children are away at college or beyond.  An unused children's bedroom could be repurposed to become a Dressing Room with racks for shoes and hanging space for cloths.  Other possibilities are a Hobby Room, Home Office (as shown in the picture), or possibly harried Moms could carve out a reading nook in an unused bedroom.

Speaking of repurposing, that's exactly what resale shops do with household items, including furniture, that is not needed anymore.  These shops not only take your unused items, but you might find something perfect for the room that you just "repurposed"!

Good luck and have fun being creative with repurposing your space and your things!

"A Flair For Living"

Bring new energy to your home and create a welcoming and appealing environment.  If you are selling your home, you will be making your home a "better candidate" right away.  You can improve your "curb appeal" by changing the landscaping at the front of your home for a fresh look, or even just adding some good-looking large pots on either side of your door filled with colorful flowers will look great!

Painting your front door an appealing color is also an option. Always a fresh color helps, not only for your door but possibly for your entire house as well. Don't forget the lighting.  Lantern-lit walkways, under-shrub lighting, as well as good-looking main lighting fixtures will provide a welcoming atmosphere.  

Don't forget your driveway.  Maybe it needs resurfacing.  Make the area around your mailbox appealing.  Flower beds along the way to the front door provide a wonderful look, and you can change the plantings as the seasons change.

Good luck with improving your home's "curb appeal".
