Rearranging Closets

How many closets does your home have? Before you answer not enough...having enough closets in a home is a rarity. Making the best of a closet is a true challenge. So, let's talk closets!

The Dreaded House Chores

Pay as you go and you will never owe! So by putting off until tomorrow what can be done today, blah, blah, blah!!!

The hopes of this blog thread are to share house cleaning tips, share cynical views of jaded misery, and hopefully keep root'n for each other to turn what can be percieved as dread into progress. Doing laundry, washing windows, using that vaccume or mop, and for those with or without a dishwasher - washing dishes...

Let's start talking about house chores! EntireHomes.com

Finding A Home - Buying A House

Finding a home and buying a house are far from being the same. Real Estate Investors buy houses, average home seekers should be looking for a home. Of course owning a home here in the U.S. is a core American Dream value or aspriration, however, finding a home does not always mean buying a house.

Houses are the largest purchase that most Americans will ever make in their lifetime. Owning a home can do a lot of good for anyone that's for sure, but here at EntirelyHomes.com we wish to discuss the realities. If renting a house, condominium, or apartment is what your current situation demands, how you live has a lot to do with your ability to change where you live. There are plenty of U.S. citizens having a hard time just to be able to rent a home or share an apartment, that topic will be discussed in future blogs...

There is a saying, "It's better to bare the shame, than to bare the pain...", but Americans work hard, and are very proud. This pride can lead to credit card debt, 2nd/3rd mortgages, and for some home owners, the dreaded foreclosure notice. So before you let the pride and glory of home ownership become too intoxicating, consider this: Are you doing everything you possibly can, with what you already have?

A better neighborhood, a better view, more space, fireplaces, pools, etc...these are all fine pursuits to upgrade one's living space with, and as boring as this might sound, is your sock drawer actually organized?

Here at EntirelyHomes.com we are not suggesting that by simply keeping your room clean all of your problems will be solved. Now for the long-winded point/question, how together is your life?

Home being where the heart is, a living space is what you make of it.

Let's say you live in a 2 bedroom apartment, have 2 children, are forced to work 2 jobs, plus be subjugated to 2 ultra-conservatives per week telling you that your circumstances are all your own doing. You're constantly tired, and your morale is very low from having low selfesteem...there still is and will always be, hope! (Example/Tip): Begin the daunting task of self reinvention by spending 20 minutes before bed each night drawing up a list of priorities for the next day, do this EVERY night before bed.

No matter how tough things are, there is always hope. Buying a house is not the same as finding a home. How you live is far more important than where you live. Your home is a sancturay, it's your headquarters, it's the foundation of your day from start til finish.
