Organize home

We spend half of our life time at home. Clean home, nice food, comfortable bed.... But the challenge is to maintain it clean and organized. This is a tough job and moreover, keeping it exciting is way too far to think about. I have few tips to share.

A small riddle: It is soft, comfy, almost a bed, almost a dining table and makes tv lot more fun. Yes, lovely couch! Most of us who live with roomates generally buy second sale couches. One way to make it look like new is to use slip covers. A slip cover is a large piece of material stiched for sofa. They come in different materials like cotton, sateen, denim etc.,. I know kohl's, jcpenney has them or buy it online.

For small mechanical tweaks at home, a basic mechanics tool set will be lot more handy than we think. The one we have at home is Team Mechanix 122 pc mechanics tool set which is just 20$, from Walmart.

Double sided tape: Always useful! Instead of leaving the spike lying next to tv or bed, just stick it on to the wall with the tape and it is easy to remove.

For low budget home decoration, there are lot of stores like Utopia (everything under $10, in Southern California though) or cost plus. For organizing kitchen, I would say walmart is the best.
