We have a neighbor who seems to have a problem with…erm…collecting. Although I have never been inside their house, so I cannot say for sure, I get the feeling that these people are literally overflowing. I get the feeling that they have filled up their house and they are now overflowing their STUFF outside into their yard. It’s really rather ugly if you spend too much time looking at it. So…I don’t!
I’m not sure what we have available up north where we live, but down in the Fort Worth area, they can call Grapevine Junk Removal to help them clear out the junk!
These are the people to call when you need to get rid of appliances, tires, furniture, carpeting and electronics. They will come to your home, load it up and take it away.
Our city used to have what we used to call “Big Trash Day” every spring. This was the day in May when the city would come around and pick up all the big items that you cannot throw away in the regular trash pick up. Unfortunately, last spring was the last such day as they have now discontinued this service.
Hopefully our yard doesn’t start looking like our neighbors’ yard does!
I love custom furniture. The old style of finely crafted pieces is so beautiful and simple that it speaks for itself. I wish I had room for one of these linen cabinets in my upstairs hallway. I would put sheets and other linens in it, filling the pretty shelves with a variety of different linens that our family uses.
I love the glass cabinet on top with the drawers underneath. There’s something so timeless about that style. I also love the dark espresso wood finish. Not only are the cabinets elegant, but they provide much needed storage to any bedroom or bathroom area. The shelves can hold the pretty items that you want to display and the drawers can hold toiletries that don’t need to be on display for everyone to see. The cabinets are made of solid wood, too.
What would you do with a linen cabinet like this? I could even see getting a little creative with it and thinking outside the box. You don’t HAVE to use it for linen storage! As a homeschooler, I see other possibilities for storage, such as crafting supplies and school items. As a seamstress and quilter, I could also see this as storage for fabric.
The safety of swimming pools is one of the biggest reasons I do not ever plan to own one. I know that they make effective swimming pool safety fences that encircle the entire pool with a secure fence, but fences can fail. I’ve also seen fences with special alarms that sound if the fence is opened or disrupted. This is getting better, but I still doubt that I would have any peace of mind with a pool and small children.
