Livingroom Makeover

Before

This is how the living room looked when we started, to the left of the fire place is a TV and the walkway to the kitchen.

This is the walkway from the front door through the living room and into the kitchen.

After we cleaned and rearranged thing in her living room to make it more appealing and accessible.
This is the corner by the front door, these shelves were in walkway before.

This is the walk way between the front door and the kitchen, now it's a clear route.

Quick Tip

Attached a magnetic strip to the inside of the medecine cabinet to hold nail clippers, tweezers, metal nail files, and other small bathroom objects. It's and easy way to organize all of your tools in one place, and it keeps those sharp objects out of children's reach.
