I'm currently reading Nate Berkus' book:
In it, I learned about wasted space. For example, I have a baker's rack in my livingroom/kitchen that acted as a catch all for homeless objects and dust. I cleaned the children's art supplies off the top of the refrigerator and created an art desk from the baker's rack. They use it all the time!
I also removed my open, messy change table and made this dresser work harder to contain clothing and give a spot for the baby's bum changes:
Nate also encourages bringing the outdoors inside. So I now have lovely flowers in my kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. They lift my spirits just by being there. I have some hosta leaves and bleeding hearts in my bathroom:

Yay, you are blogging! And now I must read that book.
