Spatial Horizons and Living Room Rearrangement
If you find yourself in the situation that you feel the need for change in the living room, before you go out and buy something or throw anything away, you may want to think about a little rearrangement. Rearranging the living room furniture can be both fun and interesting; there are a few things that you should keep in mind when doing so.
People usually tend to make two kinds of mistakes. The first mistake is that they don’t quite use the space that they have, and the second mistake is that they either put in too much or too little. An example of the former is a large sofa set in a tiny corner, or in the opposite case, too little into too much, such as a chair or cushion in an area with space for a couch. These two kinds of errors come along with two kinds of personalities: the ‘minimalist’ and the ‘pack rat’.
The minimalist likes to keep things simple, like a single picture in a large room, or couches all in black, and a few red cushions. They enjoy form, contrast, open space, and a sense of freedom. The pack rat is the opposite of the minimalist. The pack rat likes to have many objects brought together, different colors, multiple forms, shapes, sizes, a sense of life and nature in the home.
When a pack rat and a minimalist live together, this inevitably leads to a collision of style, for where one person feels the need to fill an empty corner with an extra recliner, the other wants to leave it open and feels that it would just add extra clutter.
When the time comes that you’ve decided to rearrange your house, you should therefore consider the following points. The first thing to do is that if you and your spouse are bumping heads as a minimalist and a pack rat, first sit down and try to come to an agreement about where the limits for each of your styles can meet. This is going to mean sacrifice on both sides, but it’s a necessary step.
Once you’ve both come to an agreement, the next thing is to look at the space in the living room. How are things already being used? Is that leather recliner in the corner really necessary? Is it blocking the entrance in and out of the room? If you moved it at an angle would things improve, or if you switched it with a smaller chair in the opposite corner? What if your removed it altogether? Know the space in your house and learn how to use it.
Remember, the actual rearranging of things doesn’t have to be drastic. Sometimes small changes can make a big difference, such as separating that sectional sofa which just divides the living room space. The basic point to keep in mind is that in choosing how to use the space, think about where each piece fits, how to best use it, and how it fits with the whole.

Help answer the question about living room improvement
Plz give me constructive criticism on my poem. I know nothing is perfect. there is always room for improvementI Write
I write to those who have no words
To those who wish to find
Those words which make the heart clear
The words that don’t appear in mind
I write to those who know my pain
To those who live to find the truth
Those who know right from wrong
The plain and simple truth
I write to those who know my joy
To those completely in love
Those who sing of happiness found
The joy so rooted in love
I write to those who know life
To those that see it all
Those who love and mourn the same
The imperfect life we love to live
And hate to love
Life just as it is

cool as always
Thanks alot
I just build a 5 feet wide by 7 feet tall bookcase. It is oak, materials were about $120, my time was about 20 hours without finishing, add another 10 hours for finishing. My guess is you are looking at $1,200 for the two, could be much more though depending on wood species and complexity.

My suggestion is to read, read, read other published poets poetry and see how they write. Learn vocabulary, grammar and English structure.
I can see right off the bat you need to learn English structure and vocabulary and grammar. It's then I watched it fly away–not then i watched it flew. Fly away from me–not flew by me-things of this nature need to be rewritten. You'll get the hang of it if you keep at it and study writing. Don't stop just because someone says you have problems–go fix them and be good at what you love. I'm not trying to be mean–I'm trying to help you. I had to start at the bottom with lots of problems and sometimes I have still have problems with a poem so I just work it out. Go for it!
Why not try eBay?
Try running a search for "room divider screen".
I tried it myself and saw some really nice ones.
Lowe's has a neat one.

omg Abby, you are a genius
you should do it, get all the neighbours dogs in to have their own personal indoor piss place
you could breed a few exotic birds(the animal kind) and make a few quid
Don't get me started on this topic. Things we have left to do are:
* Pack up everything and move house 800 miles. Yeah, fun.
* Paint baby's room, pull up carpet, lay new flooring.
* Buy everything. I've so far got 3 clothing items for the baby and that's it.
And I have just over 5 weeks left…. aarrrggghhhhh!
Hi Melissa, here's my constructive criticism hopefully it will help you refine your poem (whether you agree with it or not–and that's ok either way).
Writing about writing is tough. It usually comes across as too static and boring (not as bad as poems about writer's block). So from the very start you've dug a hole that you have to climb out of with many readers. Doesn't mean you can't do it, but realize that it's there.
To your poem: (S=Stanza L= Line)
S1 L4: This reads very akwardly. The syntax feels off.
S2 L1: "my pain". This is an abstraction. You are telling us something when it would be more effective if you showed us what your pain meant with a more concrete noun.
S2 L2: "truth" is also abstract but it doesn't bother me as much as "pain" did.
S2 L4: I don't like the dual repetition of truth here between L2 and L4.
S3 L2 & 4: I don't really like the dual repetitioon of love here.
These dual repetitions might work if you carried it through every stanza, but I'd have to see that first to really know.
S4 L4-6: This reads really clunky. You need to smooth this out.
Well, those are my comments. I'm not trying to be harsh with them. I hope that isn't the tone that came across. I like to read good poems, and with some rewrites this has potential–and rewriting is something all of us need with our work to get better(at least it's true with mine).
I hope that helps.
