3 Ways to Keep Your Home Running When You Don't Have Time to
While much has been made of the concept of work-life balance, the idea itself is something of a misnomer. In theory, the idea would be that you spend 50 percent of your time on your job or career, and the other 50 percent of your time on your personal pursuits. This might include things like exercise, journaling, or meditating, but it also involves literal work like cooking, cleaning, and running errands. The truth is, however, that few people will ever achieve a real 50/50 balance, and even if they do, it won't be for long. Instead, life tends to operate in seasons where at times we have more time to devote to personal pursuits than work, and less at others. When people first buy a home, they may invest all kinds of time in doing upgrades, or tailoring it to their personal style. Over time, however, the other demands of life naturally start to take over, leaving you less time to care for and maintain your home. The need for ongoing home maintenance never ends, however, so here are 3 ways to keep your home running when you don't have time to.

How to Add Comfort and Style to Your Home Furniture Settings
Getting a home designed is one of the most challenging tasks. Finding the right furniture, and setting them to suit the style and mood of your rooms is undeniably art. While the furniture market today is loaded with furniture of all times—contemporary, eclectic, and colonial, not all types of furniture give you the desired comfort. The fancy couch that looked chic in the showroom might not give you the warmth you crave, or the vibrant cushion cover that looked super funky in your living room for the last few months might have fast colors. In the first case, the comfort is lost, and in the latter the style quotient is stolen—both reasons fair enough to take away the coziness of your house.
