In this episode, I'll talk to you about a way in which I navigated through the shaky waters of divorce, and having to move out without much money.  I wanted a nice place for my boys, so what could I do?

I reached out to realtors in my town, explaining my situation, and offered renovating for rent.  Whether you're divorced or not, maybe the discussion will get you thinking, and help YOU!

Enjoy!

Call it what you like, but an accent wall is just that - a wall that accentuates the room.  A wall that is different from the rest.  A wall that makes a statement.  An accent wall can be made with simply paint, or wood, or fabric.  There are no rules.   Just have fun, and know that you can always change it.  Here is the link to the stick on wood I was talking about:

You've seen it in magazines and on television - a small dresser or other piece of furniture turned into a bathroom vanity.  You can do this, and I'll tell you how.  The main things you need to remember, are to buy your sink and faucet ahead of time, and measure the space in the bathroom you'll be working with.  This will all determine the size of the piece of furniture you'll need to convert to a vanity.
